Abstract:

Researchers from Jean Piaget (1932) to Sehlauoi (2008) have utilized small case studies to intensively examine naturally occurring child language production in the home environment. This qualitative, 5-year longitudinal, five-year case study continues the focus of previous research on child bilingualism and code-switching; however, it aims to strengthen the previously tenuous connection linking said bilingualism with the speech of fraternal boy/girl twins, who are simultaneously making code choices and reflecting their gender language usage of these choices. The purpose of this study was to identify each twin’s code-switching patterns in Spanish and English in the bilingual home environment, examine the differences in their language choices, and reflect on their gendered language use as it pertains to each child’s own language production choices. The study connects the results of this research to previous research on child code-switching and reveals the similarities and differences between these two patterns and new ways of understanding the rich variety of linguistic understandings and possibilities in bilingual speech of twins. The study demonstrates that while Spanish code-maintenance was the preferred code choice by both twins throughout the length of the study, the female twin consistently code-switched into English and took more total turns in English than her twin brother while the male twin code-switched more frequently within a turn. These code-switching occurrences may be related to their gender. The limitations of this study, future directions of research, and conclusions are also discussed.

Abstract:

Code clone Discovery Based on Functional Behavior by Ronald M Krawitz 2012 Legacy programs are used for many years and experience many cycles of use-maintenance-use-maintenance-use-etc. Source code or source code functionality is frequently replicated within these programs when it is written, as well as when it is maintained. Over time many different developers with greater or lesser understanding of the source code maintain the source code. Maintenance developers, when they have limited time or lack understanding of the program, frequently resort to short cuts that include cutting and pasting existing code and re-implementing functionality instead of refactoring. This means a specific functionality is often repeated several times, sometimes using different source code. Blocks of replicated source code or source code functionality are called code clones. Removing code clones improves extensibility, maintainability, and reusability of a program in addition to making the program more easily understood. It is generally accepted that four types of code clones exist. Type-1 and Type-2 code clones are comparatively straightforward to locate and tools exist to locate them. However, Type-3 and Type-4 code clones are very difficult to locate with only a few specialized tools capable of locating them with a lower level of precision. This dissertation presents a new methodology that discovered code clones by studying the functional behavior of blocks of code. Code Clone Discovery based on Functional Behavior (FCD) located code clone by comparing how the blocks of code reacted to various inputs. FCD stimulated the code blocks with the same input patterns and compared the resulting outputs. When a significant portion of the outputs matched, those blocks were declared to be a code clone candidate. Manual analysis confirmed that those blocks of code were code clones. Since FCD discovered code clones based on their black-box behavior, the actual source code syntax was irrelevant and manual inspection further confirmed FCD located code clones that included Type-3 and Type-4 code clones which are frequently excluded from code clone detection tools. FCD recognized the code clones regardless of whether or not they use identical code, similar code, or totally dissimilar code. This new technique allows for an improvement in software quality and has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of software over its lifetime.

Abstract:

O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a população folicular ovariana antral e pré-antral de vacas Nelore (indicus) e ½ NeloreXAngus (indicus-taurus). Fêmeas indicus (n=20) e indicus-taurus (n=20) foram submetidas à aspiração folicular em dia aleatório do ciclo estral (D0), a fim de promover a ablação de todos os folículos ≥3mm e o início de uma nova onda de crescimento folicular. Em seguida foram submetidas à avaliações ultrassonográficas por cinco dias (D4, D19, D34, D49 e D64) para contagem dos folículos antrais (CFA) ≥3mm de diâmetro. Com base nesses dados as vacas foram separadas em grupos de alta CFA (animais com média de folículos antrais ≥30 folículos; indicus n=7, indicus-taurus n=6) e baixa CFA (animais com média de folículos antrais ≤15 folículos; indicus n=6, indicus-taurus n=6). Após o último dia de avaliação (D64), os animais foram levados ao abate para obtenção dos ovários e posterior processamento histológico para estimar a população folicular ovariana pré-antral. Apenas um ovário de cada animal foi avaliado. Buscou-se correlacionar a média de folículos antrais com a quantificação de folículos pré-antrais. Houve padrão de repetibilidade no número de folículos antrais por indivíduo durante as avaliações para os grupos de alta e baixa CFA. A média de folículos antrais (média±DP) foi 35±9 (indicus) e 38±6 folículos (indicus-taurus) para fêmeas de alta CFA, e 10±3 (indicus) e 12±2 folículos (indicus-taurus) para as de baixa CFA. Houve grande variação na quantidade de folículos pré-antrais entre indivíduos do mesmo grupo e entre as raças. O número médio de folículos pré-antrais nos ovários de indicus-taurus de alta CFA (116226±83156 folículos) foi maior (P<0,05) comparado a indicus de alta CFA (63032±58705 folículos). Entretanto, não houve diferença (P>0,05) entre indicus (28324±24525 folículos pré-antrais) e indicus-taurus (85748±129628 folículos) de baixa CFA. A média de folículos pré-antrais em indicus de alta CFA não diferiu (P>0,05) de indicus-taurus de baixa CFA. Não houve correlação entre folículos antrais e pré-antrais. Conclui-se que o grau de sangue indicus e a raça taurina utilizada podem ter contribuído para as diferenças encontradas entre a população folicular ovariana antral e pré-antral de Nelore e 1/2 NeloreXAngus.
The objective of this study was to compare antral and preantral ovarian follicle population in cows Nelore (indicus) and ½ NeloreXAngus (indicus-taurus). Indicus females (n = 20) and indicus-taurus (n = 20) underwent follicular aspiration on a random day of the estrous cycle (D0) in order to promote the ablation of all follicles ≥ 3 mm and the beginning of a new wave of follicular growth. Then, the cows were subjected to ultrasonographic evaluations for five days (D4, D19, D34, D49 and D64) in order to count the antral follicles (CFA) ≥ 3 mm in diameter. Based on these data the cows were separated into groups of high CFA (animals with an average of antral follicles ≥ 30 follicles; indicus, n = 7, indicus-taurus, n = 6) and low CFA (animals with an average of ≤ 15 antral follicles; indicus n = 6, indicus-taurus n = 6). After the final evaluation day (D64), the animals were taken to slaughter for obtaining the ovaries and subsequent histological processing to estimate the preantral ovarian follicle population. Only one ovary of each animal was evaluated. We tried to correlate the average of antral follicles with the quantification of preantral follicles. There was a repeatability in the numbers of antral follicles during follicular waves per individual of high and low AFC. The mean number of antral follicles (mean±SD) was 35±9 ( indicus) and 38±6 follicles (indicus-taurus for the high AFC group, and 10±3 (indicus) and 12±2 follicles (indicus-taurus) for the low AFC. A large variation in numbers of preantral follicles was observed among individuals within the same group and between breeds. The mean number of preantral follicles in indicus-taurus of high AFC (116,226±83,156 follicles) was greater (P<0.05) compared to indicus (63,032±58,705 follicles). However, there was no difference (P>0.05) between the average number of preantral follicles of indicus (28,324±24,525 pre-antral follicles) and indicus-taurus (85,748±129,628 follicles) of low AFC. The average number of preantral follicles from indicus of high AFC did not differ (P>0.05) from that of indicus-taurus of low AFC. There was no correlation between antral and preantral follicles. We conclude that both the influence of indicus cattle and the taurus breed may contributted for differences between Nelore and 1/2 NeloreXAngus in numbers of antral and preantral follicles.

Abstract:

Humans are considered an integral part of future energy systems. In this context, constant awareness of human body status is critical for building responsive and intelligent environment that take energy efficiency and human comfort to the highest limits. Core body temperature is one of human body vital signs for body’s proper functioning and comfortability. Continuous non-invasive Core Body Temperature (CBT) measurements is important for patient monitoring and health status tracking in sports, sleep studying and other clinical and care procedures. Currently, there is a lack of precise and versatile methods to capture core body temperature under varying ambient conditions and through practical wearable solutions. Meanwhile, greenTEG AG, Zurich Switzerland, has developed a batch production method enabling the production of small, sensitive and very robust heat flux sensors. The main aim of this project was to develop a commercial product which for the first time measured core body temperature by placement inside a light, affordable wearable hold. This report presents a comprehensive review on heat transfer in human body and thermoregulation concepts in the first chapter followed by the state of the art methods. Then in chapter 2, according to the project design, full description and result discussions of the numerical model of human body developed by the author, was used as a prelude to the experimental tests. The model developed for this study was a Finite Difference model of different tissue layers combined with appropriate convection and radiation heat loss formulations. Tests were conducted through rigorous considerations of real body conditions including variable core body temperature and changing environmental conditions. Numerical tests were also validated by comparing with experimental results. Numerical results provided a precise preview of experimental models’ measurements and were used in the development of experimental setups. One of unique aspects of this study was the fact that the numerical model was used along with the sensor output to capture CBT and was considered a part of final product. In chapter 3, experimental tests on both skin phantom and human trials are discussed together with the sensor design and configuration. Results show that our CBT monitoring system is capable of measuring stable core body temperature under changing environmental conditions. It could also track circadian rhythm of core temperature during sleep, which for the first time, makes it possible for non-invasive miniaturized CBT tracking systems to measure accurate core temperature. These calculations are based on novel algorithms by greenTEG that could compensate for varying environmental conditions.
Människan betraktas som en integrerad del av framtidens energisystem. I detta sammanhang är ständig medvetenhet om människokroppen status avgörande för att bygga lyhörd och intelligent miljö som tar energieffektivitet och mänsklig komfort till de högsta gränser. Kroppstemperaturen är en av människokroppen vitala för kroppens funktion och comfort. Kontinuerliga icke-invasiv kroppstemperaturen (CBT) mätningar är viktigt för patientövervakning och spårning hälsotillstånd i idrott, sömn studera och andra kliniska och vårdförfaranden. För närvarande finns det en brist på exakta och mångsidiga metoder för att fånga kroppstemperaturen under varierande omgivningsförhållanden och genom praktiska bärbara lösningar. Samtidigt greenTEG AG, Zurich Schweiz, har utvecklat ett parti produktionsmetod möjliggör produktion av små, känsliga och mycket robusta värmeflödessensorer. Huvudsyftet med projektet var att utveckla en kommersiell produkt som för första gången mätt kroppstemperaturen genom placering i en ljus, prisvärd bärbar håll. Denna rapport presenterar en omfattande översyn på värmeöverföring i människokroppen och termoregulering begrepp i det första kapitlet, följt av toppmoderna metoder. Sedan i kapitel 2, i enlighet med projektets utformning, fullständig beskrivning och resultat diskussioner om den numeriska modellen av människokroppen som utvecklats av författaren, användes som ett förspel till de experimentella testerna. Modellen utvecklades för denna studie var en ändlig skillnad modell av olika vävnadsskikt i kombination med lämpliga konvektion och strålningsvärme förlust formuleringar. Tester genomfördes genom rigorösa överväganden verkliga förhållanden kroppen, inklusive rörliga kroppstemperaturen och växlande miljöförhållanden. Numeriska tester också valideras genom att jämföra med experimentella resultat. Numeriska resultat gav en exakt förhandsvisning av experimentella modeller "mätningar och användes i utvecklingen av experimentella uppställningar. En av unika aspekterna av denna studie var det faktum att den numeriska modellen användes tillsammans med sensorns utsignal för att fånga KBT och ansågs vara en del av slutprodukten. I kapitel 3, är experimentella tester på både hud fantom och mänskliga försök diskuteras tillsammans med sensordesign och konfiguration. Resultaten visar att vårt KBT övervakningssystem är i stånd att mäta en stabil kroppstemperaturen under föränderliga miljöförhållanden. Det kan också spåra dygnsrytm av kärntemperatur under sömnen, som för första gången gör det möjligt för icke-invasiva miniatyriserade KBT tracking system för att mäta exakt kärntemperatur. Dessa beräkningar är baserade på nya algoritmer från greenTEG som kan kompensera för varierande miljöförhållanden.

Abstract:

Long-term body temperature measurements for research and diagnosis are currently done in hospitals or specialized research labs. This method has several drawbacks: the use of wired ob- trusive sensors (e.g., rectal probes to measure the core body temperature) may be uncomfortable for patients. Furthermore, situations recorded in laboratory settings do not reflect reality as patients are not subject to their normal living environment. Furthermore, it is labor-intensive to regularly check upon patients and care for their well-being. Using small wireless sensor nodes in a body sensor network to measure body functions, one can mostly offset the limitations listed above. For this work, we have developed a wireless sensor node that uses an infrared thermopile as a sensor to unobtrusively measure the core temperature at the tympanic membrane. Due to their construction, these sensors are heavily dependent on the ambient temperature in the surroundings of the sensor packaging. While this does not affect their use in single-shot measurements (e.g., using an ear thermometer), it poses a challenge for continuous measurements, as common living environments do not have constant ambient air temperatures and people frequently commute between different places. These conditions may offset measurements significantly, an important problem for medical applications that require high accuracy. In this work, we employ infrared thermopiles in a body sensor network and characterize their behaviour in various situations, especially in the presence of varying environmental conditions. Based on our observations, we describe methods for post-processing measurements in order to compensate environmental changes and hence get results reflecting reality more closely. Our evaluation shows that these methods can offset the infrared thermopile’s weakness but need further work to achieve the degree of accuracy that is needed for medical applications.

Abstract:

Este trabalho apresenta a boa colocação para sistemas de equações diferenciais lineares empregando a técnica de semigrupos lineares. Ao longo do trabalho a boa colocação é estudada para diversos problemas, tais como equação do calor, equação da onda, equação da viga, sistemas termoelásticos, sistemas viscoelásticos, sistemas termoviscoelásticos, bem como sistemas de vigas de Timoshenko com leis elásticas, viscoelásticas e termoelásticas. Em todos os casos, podemos enxergar os problemas de valor inicial e de fronteira como um problema de Cauchy Abstrato da forma 8<:dudt(t) = Au(t); t > 0;u(0) = u0; onde A : D(A) H ! H é um operador linear não limitado definido em um espaço de Banach(ou Hilbert) H. Sendo assim, os resultados de existência, unicidade e dependência contínua dos dados iniciais são mostrados por meio da teoria de semigrupos lineares, o que requer estudar propriedades específicas para o operador A em cada caso abordado.
This work presents the well-posedness for systems of linear differential equations employing the linear semigroup technique. Throughout the work, the well-posedness is studied for several problems, such as heat equation, wave equation, beam equation, thermoelastic systems, viscoelastic systems, thermoviscoelastic systems, as well as Timoshenko beam systems under elastic, viscoelastic and thermoelastic constitutive laws. In all cases, we can transform the initial-boundary value problems into abstract Cauchy problem like 8<:dudt(t) = Au(t); t > 0;u(0) = u0; where A : D(A) H ! H is an unbounded linear operator defined on a Banach (or Hilbert) space H. Thus, the results on existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on the initial data are proved through the linear semigroup theory, which requires to study some suitable properties to the operator A in each case approached.

Abstract:

Neste trabalho apresentamos resultados de existência, unicidade, dependência contínua e taxas de decaimento de energia correspondente a uma classe geral de modelos de vigas viscoelásticas extensíveis. Os principais resultados estão concentrados nos Capítulos 3 e 4. Inicialmente, no Capítulo 2 é fornecida uma breve revisão sobre resultados teóricos de análise funcional, espaços de Sobolev, distribuições e semigrupos lineares, para que este trabalho ﬁque o mais autossuﬁciente possível. No Capítulo 3, é considerado o modelo com história nula. Neste caso, a existência e unicidade de solução são dadas pelos métodos de Faedo-Galerkin e VisikLadyzhenskaya, respectivamente. A estabilidade de energia é mostrada de duas maneiras, a saber, é obtido uma taxa de decaimento geral através do método da energia perturbada onde o núcleo de memória satisfaz uma desigualdade diferencial linear. Em seguida, assumindo que o núcleo de memória satisfaz uma desigualdade diferencial não linear, é estabelecida uma taxa de decaimento uniforme mostrando algumas estimativas integrais e comparando a energia com a solução de uma EDO não linear. No Capítulo 4, é estudado o modelo viscoelástico com história. Neste caso, é introduzido um sistema autônomo equivalente e sua boa colocação é obtida por meio da teoria de semigrupos. A estabilidade da energia associada a este sistema também é estabelecida fornecendo dois tipos de taxas de decaimento uniforme, assim como foi obtido no problema anterior. É importante ressaltar que em ambos os problemas o efeito de dissipação (agindo no sistema) é dado somente pelo termo de memória. Além disso, exemplos concretos de taxas de decaimento são apresentados para o núcleo da memória e, consequentemente, para a energia correspondente. Finalmente, mas não menos importante, apresentamos o Apêndice A com o objetivo de exibir alguns exemplos de funções reais satisfazendo as hipóteses clássicas convenientemente impostas para os termos não lineares.
In this work it is presented results on existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence and energy decay rates corresponding to a general class of extensible viscoelastic beam models. The main results are concentrated in Chapters 3 and 4. Initially, in the preliminary Chapter 2, it is provided a brief review on theoretical results from functional analysis, Sobolev spaces, distributions and linear semigroups, in order to make this work more self-contained as possible. In Chapter 3 it is ﬁrst considered the model with null past history. In such case, the existence and uniqueness of solution are given by Faedo-Galerkin and Visik-Ladyzhenskaya methods, respectively. The stability of the energy is shown in two ways, namely, it is obtained a general decay rate through perturbed energy method where the memory kernel satisﬁes a linear differential inequality. Then, assuming that the memory kernel fulﬁlls a nonlinear differential inequality, it is established a uniform decay rate by showing some integral estimates and comparing the energy with a solution of a nonlinear ODE. In Chapter 4 it is studied the viscoelastic model with history. In thiscase, it is ﬁrst introduced the autonomous equivalente system and its well-posedness is obtained through semigroup theory. The stability of its associated energy is also established by providing two types of uniform decay rates as obtained to the previous problem. It is worth pointing out that in both problems the damping effect (acting on the system) is only given by the memory term. In addition, concrete examples of decay rates are presented to the memory kernel and, consequently, to the corresponding energy solution. Last, but not at least, the Appendix A is presented in order to exhibit some examples of real functions satisfying the classical hypotheses properly chosen to the nonlinear source terms.

O Código Civil de 2002 disciplinou os atos de disposição do próprio corpo em vida em seu artigo 13, definindo como limites para o exercício da autonomia corporal a impossibilidade de diminuição permanente da integridade física e o respeito aos bons costumes, ressalvado os atos praticados por exigência médica ou finalidade terapêutica. Sob a perspectiva da constitucionalização do direito civil, a tutela da personalidade afigura-se como desdobramento na esfera privada de um dos fundamentos da República: o princípio da dignidade humana, o que implica não apenas a tutela da integridade física, mas também o respeito à autonomia privada existencial como forma de assegurar o livre desenvolvimento da personalidade. Neste sentido, a análise proposta parte das premissas de superação do dualismo mente e corpo através da noção de integridade psicofísica, e do biopoder como alicerce das interdições sofridas pela autonomia corporal na esfera jurídica. É nesta linha que a presente dissertação pretende buscar os fundamentos para a interpretação do referido dispositivo do Código Civil brasileiro.
The Civil Code of 2002 regulates the acts of own body disposal while living in its 13 th article determinating the impossibility of permanent diminish of the physical integrity and the respect of morality as limits for the exercise of body autonomy, with the except of the acts practiced under medical demand or with therapeutic finality. Under the perspective of the constitutionalization of the Civil Law, the guardianship of the personality appears as an outspread of one of the Republics fundamentals on the private sphere: the human dignity principle, which implies not only the guardianship of physical integrity, but also the respect of existential private autonomy as a way to assure the free development of the personality. In that sense, the analysis proposed is set off with the premises of the body and mind dualism surpass through the notion of psychophysics integrity, and the biopower as the foundation of the interdictions in the juridical sphere suffered by the body autonomy. It is in this line that the present dissertation intends to search the elements in order to interpret the referred legal device of the brazilian civil code.

Abstract:

No método in vivo de aspiração folicular, fêmeas Bos taurus indicus produzem um maior número de oócitos em relação a fêmeas Bos taurus taurus. Considerando que os folículos pré-antrais representam cerca de 90% da reserva de folículos do ovário, uma provável explicação para esta diferença seria uma maior população folicular para fêmeas indicus. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a população de folículos pré-antrais e a produção de oócitos de fêmeas Bos taurus indicus e Bos taurus taurus. Considerando-se a importância da foliculogênese para estudo da população folicular pré-antral e para a obtenção de oócitos, são discutidas novas teorias, como a renovação folicular pós-natal e a epigenética na origem e crescimento dos gametas femininos. Para a comparação da produção in vivo de oócitos, foram analisadas 5.407 aspirações foliculares. Obteve-se 90.086 oócitos de vacas Gir (Bos indicus), Holandesa (Bos taurus), 3/4 Holandesa x 1/4 Gir (taurus x indicus) e ½ Holandesa x 1/2 Gir (taurus x indicus). O número médio de oócitos totais e viáveis por procedimento foi 17,1±4,4 e 12,1±3,8 para vacas Gir (n=3.778), 11,4±3,9 e 8,0±2,6 para Holandesa (n=1.138), 20,4±5,8 e 16,8±5,0 para 3/4 Girolando (n=267), e 31,4±5,6 e 24,3±4,7 para 1/2 Girolando (n=224, p<0,01). Fêmeas indicus produziram mais oócitos do que fêmeas taurus, mas fêmeas1/2 sangue taurus x indicus apresentaram a média mais elevada. A partir destes dados de produção de oócitos, fez-se uma comparação entre a população de folículos pré-antrais de fêmeas Bos indicus (Nelore) e Bos taurus (Aberdeen Angus). Ovários de fetos (n=10) e novilhas Nelore (n=12), e de fetos (n=10) e novilhas Aberdeen Angus (n=12) foram coletados em abatedouros e submetidos a processamento histológico para contagem de folículos pré-antrais. Não houve diferença entre o número médio de folículos pré-antrais presente nos ovários de fêmeas Bos indicus e Bos taurus (p>0,05). O número médio de folículos pré-antrais por ovário foi 143.929±253 e 285.155±570 para fetos, indicus e taurus, e 76.851±280 e 109.673±293 para novilhas, indicus e taurus (p>0,05). A quantidade de folículos obtida por animal foi marcada por uma grande variação entre os indivíduos da mesma categoria e entre as raças. Considerando todos os dados obtidos, demonstrou-se que a produção de oócitos de fêmeas Bos taurus foi inferior a de fêmeas Bos indicus. No entanto, o número médio de folículos pré-antrais por ovário de fêmeas Bos taurus e Bos indicus foi semelhante. Deve existir outra diferença na fisiologia reprodutiva de fêmeas Bos taurus e Bos indicus, excluindo-se a população folicular ovariana, que explique a alta produção de oócitos obtidos a partir de fêmeas Bos indicus.
For in vivo oocyte recovery, Bos taurus indicus females produce a higher number of oocytes than Bos taurus taurus donor cows. Considering the preantral follicles represent about 90% of the ovarian pool of follicles, a possible explanation for this difference should be a bigger population of preantral follicles for indicus females. The aim of this work was to compare the population of preantral follicles and production of oocytes among Bos taurus indicus and Bos taurus taurus females. Considering the importance of folliculogenesis on preantral follicles and oocyte production, new hypothesis are commented, such as postnatal follicle renewal and epigenetics on origin and growth of female gametes. To compare the in vivo oocyte production, 5,407 ovum pick up were analyzed. We obtained 90,086 oocytes from Gir (Bos indicus), Holstein cows (Bos taurus), 3/4 Holstein x 1/4 Gir (taurus x indicus) and ½ Holstein x 1/2 Gir (taurus x indicus). The average number of total and viable oocytes per procedure was 17.1±4.4 and 12.1±3.8 for Gir (n=3,778), 11.4±3.9 and 8.0±2.6 for Holstein cows (n=1,138), 20.4±5.8 and 16.8±5.0 for 3/4 Holstein-Gir (n=267), and 31.4±5.6 and 24.3±4.7 for 1/2 Holstein-Gir (n=224, p<0.01). Indicus females produced more oocytes than taurus donors, but 1/2 taurus x indicus females presented the highest average. From these data of oocyte production, we performed a comparison between the population of preantral follicles of Bos indicus (Nelore) and Bos taurus (Aberdeen Angus) females. Ovaries of Nelore fetuses (n=10) and heifers (n=12) and Aberdeen Angus fetuses (n=10) and heifers (n=12) were collected at slaughterhouse and subjected to histological processing for counting of preantral follicles. There was no difference between the average number of preantral follicles in the ovaries of Bos indicus and Bos taurus females (p>0.05). The average number of preantral follicles per ovary was 143,929±253 and 285,155±570 for fetuses, taurus and indicus, and 76,851±280 and 109,673±293 for heifers, taurus and indicus (p>0.05). There is a large variation of follicular pool between individuals in the same category and between the breeds. Taking all together, we showed that the oocyte production obtained from Bos taurus females was lower than those from Bos indicus donor cows. However, the average number of preantral follicles per ovary of Bos taurus and Bos indicus females was similar. We believe there is another difference in the reproductive physiology of Bos taurus and Bos indicus females, excluding the ovarian follicle population, which explains the high oocyte production obtained from Bos indicus females.

Abstract:

>Magister Scientiae - MSc
Aim: To determine the prevalence and diameter of the maxillary end osseous canal which carries the anastomosis of the infra alveolar artery (a branch of the posterior superior alveolar artery) and the infra- orbital artery. Material and methods: Data was analyzed from one hundred archived cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The presence of the end osseous anastomosis in the lateral sinus wall was identified by utilizing axial views. The vessel diameter was also measured in those images where the canal was identified. Results: The maxillary bony canal was identified in 49 (49%) of 100 maxillary sinus.14 (14%) presented on the right hand side, 10 (10%) presented on the left hand side, 25 (25%) had a bilateral presence with a remaining 51 (51%) which cannot be identified on the imaging. From the 49 canals that were identified, 5 canals had a diameter that was 2-3mm wide,19 canals had a diameter that was 1-2mm wide and the remaining 25 had a diameter that was less than 1mm. Conclusion: A sound knowledge of the maxillary sinus vascularity is essential as severe bleeding can occur due to damage of the intra-osseous branch during sinus augmentation procedures. CBCT analysis is required as a pre-requisite for the pre-planning stages during implant treatment to prevent complications such as haemorrhage, sinus perforations or associated vascular anomalies that may arise

Abstract:

A sociedade passou por uma fase de transição entre o modelo moderno e o pós-moderno, criando um novo paradigma para o convívio social, o que acaba por refletir no ordenamento jurídico. Diante dessa perspectiva, o contrato, na condição de instrumento essencial para a realização de interesses pessoais de natureza jurídica experimentou reflexos dessas transformações sociais, o que acarretou na incidência de princípios basilares, que deverão ser sempre referência, tal como o princípio da boa-fé objetiva. Diante da cláusula geral da boa-fé objetiva, trazida pelo Código Civil de 2002, todos os contratos celebrados devem ser baseados na conduta leal, proba, honesta referências da boa-fé -, e nos deveres dela decorrentes, tidos como os deveres colaterais de conduta. Estando a sociedade cada dia mais vulnerável e buscando proteção para todas as situações do cotidiano, os contratos de seguro estão em constante ascensão, especialmente os que envolvem a saúde, e neste ponto se extrai o objeto central do presente trabalho. Neste contexto, se desenvolvem como problemáticas, em primeiro lugar, o questionamento sobre as consequências da inobservância da boa-fé objetiva em todas as fases contratuais, tanto pelo segurado quanto pela seguradora, nos contratos do seguro de saúde. Ademais, subsequentemente, examina-se se a inobservância da boa-fé objetiva é capaz de afetar os três planos do negócio jurídico existência, validade e eficácia -. Outrossim, indaga-se se deverá a boa-fé objetiva ser respeitada como cláusula expressa, ou se deverão as partes observarem os deveres dela decorrentes. Para tanto, por meio do recorte jurídico-teórico no plano do direito privado, especificamente no que tange a seara dos contratos inserido no âmbito dos negócios jurídicos, bem como através da análise do entendimento jurisprudencial firmado pelos tribunais pátrios, este trabalho salienta a necessidade de respeito a boa-fé objetiva nos contratos de saúde, evidenciando a observância dos deveres de lealdade, confiança, informação e transparência em todas as fases contratuais. Também se demonstra que a quebra da boa-fé objetiva ofende os três planos do negócio jurídico, comprovando que o princípio em análise deve nortear as partes na relação contratual de seguro, evitando a declaração da inexistência, invalidação ou ineficácia do contrato celebrado. Por fim, concluiu-se que, nos contratos de saúde, o princípio da boa-fé objetiva, ou os deveres que dela decorrem, necessitam estar presente nas atitudes do segurado e seguradora, com a finalidade de garantir segurança e confiança ao negócio jurídico.
The society went through a phase of transition between the modern model and the post-modern, creating a new paradigm for social interaction, which ultimately reflect on the juridical order. Considering this perspective, the contract in the condition of the instrument essential to the achievement of personal interests of a legal nature experienced reflections of theses social transformations, which resulted in the incidence of the fundamental principles, which should always be the reference, such as the principle of the objective good-faith. In the face of the general clause of objective good-faith, brought about by the Civil Code of 2002, all contracts should be based on the fair conduct, honest references good-faith -, and in the duties arising from it, taken as duties side of conduct. While the society each day more vulnerable and seeking protection for all situations of everyday life, the insurance contracts are on constant rise, especially, those involving the health, and this point is extracted, the central object of this work. Ins this context, develop as the problems in the first place, the question about the consequences of non-compliance of the objective good-faith in all phases of the contract, both the insured and the insurer, in the contracts of health insurance. Furthermore, subsequently, it examines whether the failure to comply with the objective good-faith is able to affect the three levels os the legal business the existence, validity and effectiveness -. Also, asks if should the objective good-faith be respected as na express clause, or should the parties to observe the obligations arising from it. For both, cut-through the legal-theoretical in the plane of private law, specifically with respect to the harvest of the contracts inserted in the scope of the legal business, as well as through the analysis of the understanding jurisprudentiel signed by courts hence, this work emphasizes the need to respect the good-objective faith in the contracts of health, demonstrating compliance with the duty of loyalty, trust, information and transparency in all contractual stages.Also demonstrates that the breach of good faith objectively offends the three planes of the juridical business, proving that the principle under analysis should guide the parties in contractual insurance, avoiding the declaration of absence, invalidation or inefficiency of the contract concluded. Finally, it was concluded that, in contracts of health, the principle of good faith objective, or the obligations deriving from it, need to be present in the attitudes of the insured and the insurer, with the purpose of ensuring security and trust to the juridical business.

Abstract:

In this project we created a hydrodynamic model of the Lower Green Bay of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, United States using the Visual Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC). The model includes four tributary rivers to Lower Green Bay as well as the open boundary flow conditions at Chambers Island. This case study is used to: 1) compare the results obtained with a previous study of Lower Green Bay to validate the creation of the model 2) examine the hydrodynamics of the bay, and 3) create a framework for future studies at Lower Green Bay. The Geographic Information used to build the Grid was obtained from the NOAA web site. Meteorological and flow information was obtained from the National Weather Service and USGS web sites, respectively. It was necessary to create a new model grid as a platform for future studies of Lower Green Bay, and the Visual EFDC 1.2 code was a useful tool in the development of the grid. However, some limitations in the code made the creation of the grid a challenge. In this project, we summarize the process used to overcome challenges in creating a correct grid, and analyze the hydrodynamic results of the model simulation for the period between June and October 2011. Overall, we conclude that the model reproduces field data reasonably well, and a correct modeling framework for hydrodynamic modeling of Lower Green Bay was created.

Abstract:

This research project examines the emergence of youth entrepreneurs in the moments just before mining and industrial activities develop within a community. It focuses on how young people engage with the hopes and promise of opportunities engendered by the expansion of mines and industry within a particular place. Using ethnography as methodology, it looks at how young people's dreams and desires in eSikhawini, a township in the Richards Bay area within the uMhlathuze Municipality, are activated by the coming of mining activities and how they use these to create entrepreneurs. In the context of mining and industrial expansion, young people use the promise of opportunity and the pursuit of dreams and desires to create particular kinds of entrepreneurs who attempt to stabilize their lives and that of their community in the face of precarity. It argues that the interrelations emergent in the daily enterprise of creating a stable future are key resources and insurance against uncertainty that sustain "community" in the context of eSikhawini. Overall, the thesis attempts to demonstrate that by recognising and strengthening youth entrepreneurs' capacity to aspire and realise their dreams can entrepreneurship interventions and programmes foster and sustain empowering relationships amongst marginalized people living in areas affected by mining and mineral beneficiation.

Abstract:

O café é um dos produtos básicos mais valiosos, superado apenas pelo petróleo. O principal critério de determinação da qualidade do café baseia-se na análise sensorial, que tem como forma mais usual a prova de xícara, utilizada para atribuição do sabor, aroma, aspecto e textura. Esta avaliação utiliza o ser humano como instrumento de medida para classificar a bebida e selecionar os melhores cafés, atribuindo-lhes os preços mais elevados. Entretanto, esta análise requer provadores experientes, já que o sabor e aroma que caracterizam a bebida café são resultantes da combinação de centenas de compostos químicos. Assim, a composição dos grãos está intrinsicamente relacionada à qualidade que, por ter os carboidratos como constituintes majoritários da matriz os colocam, como potenciais marcadores químicos. Pela sua complexidade, a qualidade final da bebida é ainda influenciada pelas características da matéria-prima (safra, variedade, manejo agrícola - colheita, local de cultivo, umidade); e pelas condições de processamento pós-colheita (processos de secagem, fermentação, torração, moagem e acondicionamento). Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi promover a caracterização de cafés premiados pela boa qualidade, nos Concursos Café Qualidade Paraná de 2012 e 2013, por meio da determinação pela cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência do perfil e concentração de carboidratos totais. O estudo do diferencial destes cafés especiais visa a partir da classificação da análise sensorial, estabelecer valores de referência para os carboidratos totais para discriminar entre cafés arabica de boa qualidade e de má qualidade, possivelmente adulterados. Para isto, as amostras sem processamento ou crus foram comparadas com as mesmas amostras torradas, realizando-se ainda um estudo da variação da concentração dos carboidratos com relação ao grau de torra. Todas as amostras de cafés sem processamento premiados apresentaram o mesmo perfil cromatográfico, com variação apenas quantitativa nos carboidratos, sendo que galactose e manose apresentaram as maiores concentrações, enquanto manitol e xilose apresentaram menores quantidades. O grau de torração influencia significativamente a composição final dos carboidratos, promovendo diminuição de determinados tipos, como galactose e glicose, e o aumento de outros como manose, sendo que essas alterações não ocorreram necessariamente de maneira linear. As amostras torradas apresentaram perfil cromatográfico semelhante, sendo diferenciadas de amostras comerciais através dos carboidratos totais, pela análise de componentes principais e agrupamento hierárquico. A concentração de carboidratos totais nas amostras está fortemente relacionada com a região de plantio, possibilitando o seu agrupamento por local e tipo de solo. Pretende-se que este estudo auxilie, fornecendo ferramentas analíticas menos subjetivas, para o efetivo controle de qualidade de cafés comercializados.
Coffee is one of the most valuable commodities, surpassed only by paraffin oil. Sensory analysis defines the coffee quality, usually performed by cup test that assign notes for taste, aroma, appearance and texture. This assessment uses human being as measuring tool for classify and select the best coffees, assigning those higher prices. However, this analysis requires experienced tasters, since flavor and aroma of coffee beverage is derived from hundreds of chemical compounds combination. Thus, grains composition is intrinsically related to quality and carbohydrates as major constituents of matrix, show up as potential chemical markers. Due to its complexity, the final beverage quality is still influenced by raw material characteristics (crop variety, cultural practices, cultivation area, moisture) and conditions of post-harvest processing (drying processes, fermentation, roasting, grinding and packaging). Thus, the aim of this study was to promote featuring coffees rewarded by good quality in "Concurso Café Qualidade Paraná in 2012 and 2013", through by high performance liquid chromatography determines of profile and concentration of total carbohydrates. Based on classification of sensory analysis, the aim was to establish reference values for total carbohydrates helping to discriminate between good quality arabica coffees and poor quality, possibly adulterated ones. For this, samples without processing - raw green beans were compared with the same roasted samples, still carrying out a study of variation in carbohydrates concentrations in relation to the degree of roasting. All samples of award-winning green coffees beans showed the same chromatographic profile, with only quantitative variation in carbohydrates, with galactose and mannose showing highest concentrations, while mannitol and xylose showing lower amounts. The degree of roasting showed to significantly influence the final composition of carbohydrates, promoting reduction of certain types of monosaccharides, such as galactose and glucose, and increasing of other as mannose, without changes occurring necessarily with linear behavior. The roasted samples showed similar chromatographic profiles, being distinguished of commercial samples by total carbohydrates using principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering. The concentration of total carbohydrates in analyzed samples showed strong relation to cultivated area, enabling grouping by location and soil type. The intended of this study is to assist by providing less subjective analytical tools for effective control of quality coffees marketed.

Abstract:

O trabalho buscou identificar a influência das características do ambiente de cultivo, o manejo de colheita e da pós-colheita e da microflora associada aos atributos de qualidade de bebida de amostras de cafés e, a partir do isolamento de bactérias provenientes das amostras de café natural e cereja descascado, realizar a caracterização morfológica e determinar a diversidade genética dos isolados pelo uso da técnica PCR-RFLP. Para isso foi aplicado um questionário aos produtores finalistas do concurso Café Qualidade Paraná 2011 e os dados foram correlacionados com a avaliação microbiológica realizada dos grãos de café. Houve correlação significativa e positiva entre todos os atributos da qualidade da bebida e as altitudes do local de produção das amostras. Nas análises microbiológicas foram observados mais de dez espécies diferentes de fungos, e a presença de bactérias. Ao correlacionar a colonização de cada amostra com os atributos da bebida dos cafés verificou-se correlações baixas ou inexistentes para a maioria dos microrganismos. Porém, Penicillium sp. se correlacionou negativamente com a característica bebida limpa, doçura, corpo, sabor e balanço, enquanto Alternaria sp. apresentou correlação negativa com o balanço da bebida dos cafés. As bactérias se correlacionaram positivamente com a acidez dos cafés. Através das mesmas amostras, foi realizado então o isolamento de bactérias epifíticas e endofíticas através de enriquecimento em meio líquido Mineral Salt Medium com café, posteriormente a solução foi plaqueada em meios semi-sólidos MSM+C e Nutriente Ágar. Foi observado grande diversidade de bactérias isoladas. As bactérias foram avaliadas morfologicamente segundo a forma, elevação, borda, superfície, cor e tamanho das colônias. Posteriormente, foram realizadas a extração de DNA genômico bacteriano, à amplificação do gene 16S rDNA por meio da técnica de PCR e o uso da técnica de RFLP. Foi observada grande diversidade fenotípica e genotípica entre as bactérias epifíticas e endofíticas isoladas de grãos de Coffea arabica L., sendo isolados 331 bactérias do meio de cultura NA e 308 do meio de cultura MSM+C. Com relação a caracterização morfológica, as formas mais encontradas foram as puntiformes e circulares, a elevação plana e convexa, a borda das colônias do tipo inteira, a superfície lisa, a coloração branca com tamanhos de colônias que variaram de 2 a 8 mm. Os maiores índices de diversidade de bactérias, foram provenientes de amostras onde foi realizada a secagem do café em terreiro, em que o café não foi lavado e não foi realizado colheita seletiva. A partir das médias dos valores de altitude e os caracteres de qualidade de bebida, para os seis grupos definidos a partir do dendrograma do meio de cultura NA observou-se que o grupo que possui altitude de 707 metros apresentou os maiores valores quanto as características de bebida do café. Com os resultados obtidos através da técnica PCR-RFLP os perfis de restrição apresentaram grande variabilidade. O grande número de fragmentos obtidos, em cada amostra no dendrograma, reflete a diversidade da comunidade microbiana existente em decorrência das diferentes formas de secagem do grão e das diferentes regiões onde C. arabica foi cultivado.
The study aimed to identify the influence of the characteristics of the growing environment, management of harvest and post-harvest and microflora associated with the quality attributes of samples of drinking coffee and from the isolation of bacteria from the natural coffee samples and cherry peeled perform morphological and molecular technique using PCR-RFLP. For it was applied a questionnaire to the producers of the contest finalists 'Coffee Quality Paraná 2011' and the data were correlated with the microbiological assessment carried out of the coffee beans. There has been significant and positive correlation between all cup quality attributes and the altitudes of the local production of the samples. Microbiological analyzes were observed over ten different species of fungi, was also observed that the presence of bacteria. By correlating the contamination of each sample with the attributes of the coffee drink it has been found low or no correlations for most microorganisms. However Penicillium sp. correlated negatively with the characteristic clean drink, sweetness, body, flavor and balance, while Alternaria sp. also negatively correlated with the balance of the drink of coffee. It was also found that bacteria were positively correlated with the acidity of coffee. By the same samples was then performed and the isolation of endophytic epiphytic bacteria by enrichment in liquid Mineral Salt Medium with coffee, then the solution was plated on semisolid media MSM+C and Nutrient Agar. After growth has been great diversity of bacterial isolates observed. The bacteria were evaluated morphologically in the form, elevation, edge, surface, color and size of the colonies. Subsequently they were performed bacterial genomic DNA extraction, amplification of 16S rDNA by means of PCR and the use of the RFLP technique. Great phenotypic and genotypic diversity was observed among the epiphytic and endophytic bacteria isolated from Coffea arabica beans L. Being isolated 331 bacteria from the culture medium NA and 308 of MSM+C culture medium. Concerning the morphological characterization, the most frequent forms were punctiform, circular, flat and convex elevation, the edge of the entire colonies type, smooth, white colonies stained with sizes ranging from 2 to 8 mm. The higher levels of diversity in bacteria were obtained from samples where drying was performed on ground coffee, wherein the coffee has not been washed and selective collection was not performed. From the average of the altitude values and beverage quality traits for the six groups defined from the dendrogram culture medium NA it noted that the group having altitude of 707 meters had the highest values and the characteristics of coffee drink. With the results obtained by PCR-RFLP technique the restriction profiles showed great variability. The large number of fragments obtained in each sample in the dendrogram reflects the diversity of existing microbial community as a result of different forms of grain drying and the different regions where C. arabica was grown.

Abstract:

Os percursos pelos quais a sociedade se desenvolve determinam os rumos que as ciências jurídicas deverão tomar por norte. A dignidade da pessoa humana foi elevada como fundamento da República e, ocupando tão alto patamar, impactou todas as relações sociais. Ordenou ela o ajuste dos preceitos e institutos do ordenamento jurídico a esse novo arquétipo e cristalizou como elemento central da ordem jurídica brasileira a pessoa humana. As relações negociais, reguladas originalmente pelo Código Civil, também devem adequar-se aos mandamentos irradiados da Constituição. Alterações de paradigmas normalmente geram incertezas na aplicação prática dos novos conceitos e métodos por aqueles que os operam. Neste sentido, a presente investigação tem como objetivo a demonstração da boa-fé objetiva como instrumento densificador da dignidade humana nas relações negociais. A fim de alcançar tal escopo, primeiramente, examina o princípio constitucional, especialmente com o intuito de especificar seus elementos mínimos essenciais, catalogando-os em valor intrínseco, igualdade, liberdade e solidariedade. O estudo do princípio negocial da boa-fé objetiva também impende necessária abordagem, é o que se realiza em seguida, esmiuçando suas características elementares e sua atuação na prática negocial por meio de suas funções de interpretação, de limitação ao exercício abusivo dos direitos subjetivos e de criação dos deveres de conduta de proteção, lealdade e esclarecimento. Demonstra, em última análise, a boa-fé objetiva concretizando, por meio de suas funções, cada um dos elementos da dignidade da pessoa humana nas relações negociais.
The paths by which society develops determine the directions that the legal sciences should follow as north. The dignity of the human person was elevated as the foundation of the Republic and, occupying such a high level, impacted all social relations. It ordered the adjustment of the precepts and institutes of the legal order to this new archetype and crystallized the human person as the central element of the Brazilian legal order. The business relations, originally regulated by the Civil Code, must also conform to the irradiated commandments of the Constitution. Changes of paradigms usually generate uncertainties in the practical application of new concepts and methods by those who operate them. In this context, the present research aims to demonstrate objective good faith as a densifying instrument of human dignity in business relations. In order to reach such scope, it first examines the constitutional principle, especially with the purpose of specifying its essential minimum elements, cataloging them in intrinsic value, equality, freedom and solidarity. The study of the negotiating principle of objective good faith also implies a necessary approach, which is what happens next, analyzing its elementary characteristics and its performance in the negotiating practice through its functions of interpretation, of limitation to the abusive exercise of the subjective rights and creating the duties of conduct of protection, loyalty and clarification. It ultimately demonstrates objective good faith concretizing, through its functions, each one of the elements of the dignity of the human person in business relations.

Abstract:

The estimation of body fluids is a useful and common practice in the status assessment of diseasemechanisms and treatments. Electrical bioimpedance spectroscopy (EBIS) methods are non-invasive,inexpensive, and efficient alternatives for the estimation of body fluids. However, these methods areindirect, and their robustness and validity are unclear.Regarding the recording of measurements, a controversy developed regarding a spectrum deviationin the impedance plane, which is caused by capacitive leakage. This deviation is frequentlycompensated for by the extended Cole model, which lacks a theoretical basis; however, there is nomethod published to estimate the parameters. In this thesis, a simplified model to correct thedeviation was proposed and tested. The model consists of an equivalent capacitance in parallel withthe load.Subsequently, two other measurement artefacts were considered. Both artefacts were frequentlydisregarded with regard to total body and segmental EBIS measurements as their influence isinsignificant with suitable skin-electrode contact. However, this case is not always valid, particularlyfrom a textile-enabled measurement system perspective. In the estimation of body fluids, EBIS dataare fitted to a model to obtain resistances at low and high frequencies. These resistances can berelated to body fluid volumes. In order to minimise the influence of all three artefacts on theestimation of body fluids and improve the robustness and suitability of the model fitting the differentdomains of immittance were used and tested. The conductance in a reduced frequency spectrum wasproposed as the most robust domain against the artefacts considered.The robustness and accuracy of the method did not increase, even though resistances at low and highfrequencies can be robustly estimated against measurement artefacts. Thus, there is likely error in therelation between the resistances and volumes. Based on a theoretical analysis, state of the artmethods were reviewed and their limitations were identified. New methods were also proposed. Allmethods were tested using a clinical database of patients involved in growth hormone replacementtherapy. The results indicated EBIS are accurate methods to estimate body fluids, however they haverobustness limits. It is hypothesized that those limits in extra-cellular fluid are primarily due toanisotropy, in total body fluid they are primarily due to the uncertainty ρi, and errors in intra-cellularfluid are primarily due to the addition of errors in extracellular and total body fluid. Currently, theseerrors cannot be prevented or minimised. Thus, the limitations for robustness must be predicted priorto applying EBIS to estimate body fluids.

Abstract:

A relação negocial privada não se baseia mais na exclusividade da clássica regra de que o contrato faz lei entre as partes, rica em individualismo e restrita aos termos pactuados, situação que oferecia desamparo à pessoa e ineficácia de justiça. Atualmente, o sistema jurídico tornou-se aberto para reconhecer os valores existenciais conquistados pela humanidade - transmudou-se racionalmente do dever moral para o dever jurídico - expressos por meio dos princípios de direito. Nesse âmbito, o princípio da boa-fé objetiva se destaca como o modelo de conduta correta e leal no cumprimento do negócio jurídico, mas sua aplicação, por encontrar-se num plano abstrato, causa dúvidas aos estudiosos do direito, os quais não conseguem estabelecer um padrão em sua delimitação, com interpretações amiúde equivocadas e controversas, trazidas tanto pela jurisprudência como pela doutrina. Diante disso, a sociedade jurídica necessita descobrir qual é o momento da violação à boa-fé objetiva na relação negocial, como forma de contribuir para um mundo melhor, mais digno, justo e igual. Logo, a pesquisa demonstra que basta o desvio do padrão universal de conduta por um dos contratantes para ocorrer o momento dessa violação, cuja proposta tem como parâmetros à liberdade contratual os princípios da dignidade humana e da solidariedade social. Nessa reflexão, apresentam-se novas perspectivas quanto à influência da boa-fé objetiva no direito negocial. A primeira, busca na noção de fé a origem da objetividade da boa-fé, ante a evolução da racionalidade humana. A segunda, revela uma diferente classificação da violação positiva do contrato, a qual desconsidera seu enquadramento como uma espécie de inadimplemento da obrigação (isto é, o não cumprimento do contrato), para erigi-la a uma forma de mau cumprimento do contrato. E, por derradeiro, conclui-se pela natureza extracontratual dessa violação, cuja consequência está na possibilidade de cofiguração de um novo dano merecedor de tutela na responsabilidade civil contemporânea.
The private business relationship is no longer based in the exclusivity upon the classic rule by which the contract is the law between the parties, full embedded in individualism and restricted to the terms of agreement situation that caused helplessness and inefficiency of justice. Nowadays, the legal system has become more open to recognize the existential values conquered by humankind it has rationally transmuted from a moral duty to a legal duty expressed by principles of law. In such context, the principle of utmost objective good faith stands as model of fair conduct on the fulfillment of legal business, but its application, because abstract, is doubtful to the law scholars, who is unable to establish a pattern on its limitation, with often misleading and controversial interpretations, by both the courts and the doctrine. Therefore, the legal society has to discover which is the precise moment of the utmost good faiths violation on the business relationship, as a means to contribute to a better, more dignified, just and equal world. Thus, this research, that proves such violation can occur due to the mere deviation by one of the contractors from de universal standard of conduct, consists on a proposition that employs the contractual freedom and the principles of human dignity and social solidarity as its parameters. Upon such reflection, there are presented new perspectives regarding the influence of the utmost good faith on business law. The first one seeks the origin of good faith objectiveness on the notion of faith itself, considered the evolution human rationality. The second one reveals a different classification of the positive violation of contract, which disregards its framework as a mere noncompliance of the obligation (ie, not contractual fulfillment), in order to considerer it a bad contractual fulfillment. Lastly, this research concludes that such violation has a extracontractual nature, the consequence of which is the possible configuration of a new type of damage worthy of protective on contemporary civil liability bases.

Abstract:

Les gaz d'atomes ultrafroids offrent des possibilités sans précédent pour la réalisation et la manipulation des systèmes quantiques. Le contrôle exercé sur les interactions entre particules permet d'atteindre le régime de fortes interactions, pour des espèces d'atomes à la fois fermioniques et bosoniques. Dans la limite unitaire, où la force d'interaction est à son maximum, des propriétés universelles émergent. Pour les atomes bosoniques, celles-ci comprennent l'effet Efimov, l'existance surprenante d'une séquence infinie d'états liés à trois corps. Dans cette thèse, nous avons étudiés un système de bosons unitaires. Partant des cas à deux et à trois corps, nous avons montrés que le modèle choisi capturait correctement les caractéristiques universelles de l'effet Efimov. Pour le modèle à N-corps, nous avons développé un algorithme de Monte Carlo quantique capable de réaliser les différentes phases thermodynamiques du système : gaz normal à haute-température, condensat de Bose-Einstein, et liquide d'Efimov. Un unique composant de notre modèle resterait pertinent à la limite de température infinie, à savoir la répulsion corps dur à trois corps, qui constitue une généralisation du potentiel classique entre sphères dures. Pour ce modèle, nous avons proposé une solution au problème d'empilement compact en deux et trois dimensions, fondée sur une Ansatz analytique et sur la technique de recuit simulé. En étendant ces résultats à une situation de pression finie, nous avons montré que le système présente une transition de fusion discontinue, que nous avons identifié à travers la méthode de Monte Carlo
Ultracold atomic gases offer unprecedented possibilities to realize and manipulate quantum systems. The control on interparticle interactions allows to reach the strongly-interacting regime, with both fermionic and bosonic atomic species. In the unitary limit, where the interaction strength is at its maximum, universal properties emerge. For bosonic atoms, these include the Efimov effect, the surprising existence of an infinite sequence of three-body bound states. In this thesis, we have studied a system of unitary bosons. Starting from the two- and three-body cases, we have shown that the chosen model correctly captures the universal features of the Efimov effect. For the corresponding many-body problem, we have developed a quantum Monte Carlo algorithm capable of realizing the different thermodynamic phases in which the system may exist: The high-temperature normal gas, Bose-Einstein condensate, and Efimov liquid. A single ingredient of our model would remain relevant in the infinite-temperature limit, namely the three-body hard-core repulsion, which constitutes a generalization of the classical hard-sphere potential. For this model, we have proposed a solution to the two- and three-dimensional packing problem, based on an analytical ansatz and on the simulated-annealing technique. Extending these results to finite pressure showed that the system has a discontinuous melting transition, which we identified through the Monte Carlo method

Abstract:

Os meios de comunicação têm provocado uma série de alterações nos relacionamentos dos seres humanos. A linguagem televisiva está tão presente no nosso cotidiano que sofremos influências nas formas de ver e sentir por meio das suas sequências rápidas e no tratamento da informação. O estudo examina a figura do apresentador de noticiário policial, sob análise semiótica da personificação do bom moço e do bandido, utilizando o noticiário policial Brasil Urgente, exibido diariamente na Rede Bandeirantes de Televisão. O objetivo é analisar, por meio da teoria da significação greimasiana, os aspectos que explicitam o que esse texto televisivo diz e como faz para dizer. Percebe-se que uma das funções do noticiário policial é expor os horrores da vida em sociedade, apresentando fartos problemas gerados pela desigualdade social e ausência de investimentos do Estado na educação, segurança e saúde. Em noticiários policiais, observam-se as oposições semânticas que dão início à construção do sentido do texto: riqueza versus pobreza; coragem versus covardia; honestidade versus desonestidade; mocinho versus bandido; justiça versus injustiça; autoritarismo versus submissão, entre outras. Essas oposições manifestam-se de várias maneiras: o apresentador do programa, o bom moço, autodenominado paladino da justiça, defensor da moral, da lei e dos bons costumes, representante da honestidade, o valente, o solitário na luta contra o crime, aquele que tem a coragem de opor-se e de mostrar em seu programa os supostos infratores, bandidos, criminosos, meliantes que quebraram as regras sociais, cometeram pecado, e, por isso, merecem ser expulsos do Jardim do Éden, a sociedade. Apresenta-se uma proposta de estudo do texto televisivo noticiário policial , por meio da teoria greimasiana, na disciplina de língua portuguesa no Ensino Médio e, eventualmente, Ensino Fundamental, tendo como objetivo formar leitores críticos e produtores dos textos diversos que circulam na sociedade.
The media have caused a number of changes in relationships among humans. Language television is so present in our daily lives which makes us suffer influences on how we see and feel through their fast sequences and information processing. The study examines the figure of the host of police news on a semiotic analysis of the personification of the good guy and bad guy, using the police news Brasil Urgente, aired daily on Rede Bandeirantes de Televisão. The aim is analyzing, through theory of meaning of Greimas, aspects which explain what TV text says and how it says. We can see that one of the functions of the police news is to expose the horrors of life in society, with problems arising from the tired social inequality and lack of state investment in education, health and safety. In police news, there are the semantic oppositions that initiate the construction of the meaning of the text: wealth versus poverty, courage versus cowardice, honesty versus dishonesty, good guy versus bad guy, justice versus injustice, authoritarianism versus submission, among others. These oppositions are manifested in several ways: the host, the "good guy", self-styled paladin, a defender of law and morality, for the honesty, the brave, lonely in the fight against crime, the one who has the courage to oppose and to show in his program the alleged offenders, thugs, criminals, thieves who broke social rules, committed sin, and therefore deserve to be expelled from the Garden of Eden, the society. This work proposes a study of the TV text police news , through the theory of Greimas, in Portuguese Course in high school and possibly secondary school, aiming at rising critical readers and producers of various texts circulating in society.

Abstract:

No intuito de comparar taxas de proliferação celular entre fêmeas Nelore (Bos indicus) com alta, média e baixa contagem de folículos antrais (CFA), ovários (n = 336) foram obtidos aos pares em abatedouro local e transportados até o laboratório. A classificação dos grupos a partir da contagem visual dos folículos, foi definida utilizando a média ± desvio padrão, em G-Alta (≥92 folículos), G-Média (46-76 folículos) e G-Baixa (≤ 31 folículos; p ≤ 0,05). A partir desta classificação, a atividade proliferativa folicular foi estabelecida em três grupos experimentais (alta n=5, média n=5 e baixa n=5). Estes ovários foram seccionados em fragmentos de 1 x 1 x 0,3cm, fixados em solução de formalina tamponada a 10%, processados e submetidas à avaliação imunohistoquímica para o anticorpo anti-PCNA. A imunoexpressão para PCNA (antígeno nuclear de proliferação celular) foi detectada em todos os estágios do desenvolvimento folicular. Foi encontrado o total de 1.688 folículos imunomarcados, dos quais 1.388 eram primordiais, 197 primários, 29 secundários e 74 antrais. Os dados de imunomarcação do PCNA de cada grupo foram submetidos ao teste de normalidade de resíduos (Shapiro-Wilk) e homocedasticidade (Levenne) e posteriormente comparados usando Teste de Fisher (p ≤ 0,05). Os grupos de G-Média e G-Baixa expressaram maior proliferação celular nos estágios finais do desenvolvimento folicular. Em contraponto, o grupo G-Alta obteve maior imunomarcação em folículos primordiais, com decréscimo até a fase de folículo antral. Os resultados obtidos através de avaliação imunohistoquímica sugerem que a polulação folicular antral, influencia na taxa de proliferação celular em fêmeas Nelore (Bos indicus).
In order to compare cell proliferation rates between Nelore (Bos indicus) females with high, medium and low antral follicle count, ovaries (n = 336) were obtained in pairs at a local slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory. The classification of groups was defined using mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) into: G-High (≥ 92 follicles), G-Medium (46 76 follicles) and G-Low (≤ 31 follicles; p ≤ 0,05). After this evaluation the proliferative activity in the follicles was established into three experimental groups (high n=5, medium n=5 and low n=5). These ovaries were cut into fragments of 1 x 1 x 0,3cm, fixed in bufferedd formalina 10% solution, processed and subjected to immunohistochemical analysis for anti-PCNA antibody. The imune expression of PCNA was presente in all follicular development stages. Was found the amount of 1,688 immunomarkers follicles, of which 1,388 were primordial, 197 primary, 29 secondary and 74 antral. Immunostaining data for each animal underwent the waste normality test (Shapiro-Wilk) and homoscedasticity (Levenne) and then compared using Fisher's test. G-Medium and G-Low groups showed lower proliferation rate in early stages, and in the course of developing this rate increased progressively. On the other hand, the G-High group had greater cell proliferation immunostaining in primordial follicles, with decreased until the antral follicle stage. The results obtained through immunohistochemistry evaluation suggest that antral follicular population, influences in the cell proliferation rate in Nelore females (Bos indicus).

Abstract:

Este trabalho se propõe a investigar as representações de Bom Professor de História na fala de alunos das séries finais do ensino Fundamental e ensino Médio, buscando observar o que consideram relevante ao profissional desta disciplina, enquanto prática em sala de aula, e relação professor-aluno. A princípio recorre a autores do campo da Educação e do Ensino de História para refletir o papel do professor de História, e o que dizem sobre o fazer deste. Lembrando que entre o ser e o fazer docente existem vivências, motivações e questionamentos que contribuem para a formação da sua identidade como educador, que delimita olhares, sentidos, saberes e práticas. Em seguida, recorre à análise dos Questionários Prévios aplicados entre alunos de 6°, 9° e 3° ano para investigar nas narrativas de alunos como compreendem o uso da História, a disciplina de História e o professor de História. Por fim, retoma no Grupo Focal questões referentes ao professor de História, buscando as representações dos alunos sobre o Bom Professor de História.
This work aims to investigate the representations of The Good History Teacher by students in the final grades of elementary and middle school, searching to observe what they consider relevant to this professional discipline, qua classroom practice and teacher-student relationship.Initially, it resorts to authors in Education and History Teaching field to understand the role of the History Teacher, and what they say about his work, where between "being" and "doing" are teacher experiences, motivations and questions that contribute to the formation of its identity as educator, who sets out looks, senses, knowledge and practices. After that, the analysis of Previous Questionnaires applied among students of 6th, 9th and 3rd year to investigate the stories of how students understand the use of History, the discipline of History and the History Teacher. Finally, questions about history Teacher go back to the Focal Group, seeking for the student's representations about the History Teacher.

Abstract:

Com objetivo de comparar a dinâmica folicular ovariana de vacas Nelore (Bos indicus) sincronizadas com protocolo de IATF à base de progesterona (P4) injetável versus dispositivo intravaginal, foram conduzidos dois experimentos. No experimento I foram utilizadas 36 vacas multíparas entre 45 e 60 dias no pós-parto. Aleatoriamente, 20 animais receberam um dispositivo intravaginal com 1 g de P4 e administração de 2 mg de benzoato de estradiol (BE) por via intramuscular (IM) no D0. No D8 o dispositivo foi retirado e 500 µg de cloprostenol, 300 UI de gonadotrofina coriônica equina (eCG) e 1 mg de cipionato de estradiol (CE) foram administrados IM. A IATF foi realizada no D10. Outras 16 vacas receberam no D0 350 mg de P4 injetável (300 mg por via subcutânea e 50 mg IM) e 2 mg de BE IM. No D6, 500 µg de cloprostenol, 300 UI de eCG e 1 mg de CE foram administradas IM. A IATF foi realizada no D8. No experimento II, 44 vacas (22 com e 22 sem corpo lúteo - CL) foram alocadas em um esquema fatorial 2x2 com a P4 injetável e o dispositivo intravaginal. Vinte duas vacas (11 com e 11 sem CL) receberam o mesmo protocolo com dispositivo intravaginal descrito acima, onde o CE foi substituído por 1 mg de BE no D9. Outras 22 vacas (11 com e 11 sem CL) também foram sincronizadas com o mesmo protocolo injetável descrito acima e o CE foi substituído por 1 mg de BE no D7. Ultrassonografias foram realizadas para determinar a dinâmica folicular. No experimento I, 65% (13/20) das vacas que receberam o dispositivo e 75% (12/16) do grupo injetável apresentaram folículos ≥ 5 mm no D4 (p>0,05). A taxa média de crescimento folicular foi de 0,92±0,25 e 1,06±0,45 mm/dia para os grupos dispositivo e injetável, respectivamente (p>0,05). O diâmetro médio do folículo dominante (FD) na IATF foi de 11,4±1,4 e 10,8±1,8 mm para os grupos dispositivo e injetável, respectivamente (p>0,05). O diâmetro médio do folículo ovulatório (FO) foi de 12,1±1,4 e 12,3±1,6 mm para as vacas que receberam dispositivo e P4 injetável, respectivamente (p>0,05). A ovulação ocorreu em 90% (18/20) do grupo com dispositivo intravaginal e 37,5% (6/16) do grupo com P4 injetável (p<0,05). O grupo com dispositivo apresentou diâmetro médio de CL de 18,7±4,3 mm e o injetável 17,7±3,6 mm (p>0,05). No experimento II, vacas com ou sem CL, tratadas com P4 injetável ou dispositivo intravaginal apresentaram taxa de folículos ≥ 5 mm no D4, taxa de crescimento folicular, taxa de demonstração de estro, diâmetro do FD na IATF e diâmetro do CL semelhantes. Animais sincronizados com dispositivo intravaginal apresentaram maior diâmetro do FD na IATF (11,7 ± 2,0 mm) e do FO (11,8±1,7 mm) comparado com aqueles que receberam P4 injetável (9,7±1,7 e 10,6±1,8 mm, respectivamente); (p<0,05). A ausência ou a presença de CL em vacas sincronizadas com dispositivo intravaginal, e a presença de CL em animais tratados com P4 injetável mostraram maior diâmetro do FO (12,4±1,3 ou 12,1±1,2 e 12,1±1,2 mm, respectivamente) em comparação com aquelas sem CL tratadas com P4 injetável (10±2,0 mm); (p<0,05). A ovulação ocorreu em 59% (13/22) das vacas com CL, 77,2% (17/22) dos animais sem CL, 90,9% (20/22) dos tratados com dispositivo intravaginal e 45,5% (10/22) dos sincronizado com P4 injetável (p<0,05). Vacas sem CL sincronizadas com dispositivo intravaginal apresentaram melhor taxa de ovulação (100%, 11/11) comparado com a P4 injetável, sem CL (54,5%; 6/11) e com CL (36,3%; 4/11); (p<0,05). A taxa de prenhez foi maior no grupo do dispositivo intravaginal (45,4%; 10/22) em relação ao grupo de P4 injetável (18,1%; 4/22); (p=0,05). Vacas sincronizadas com protocolo de IATF a base de P4 injetável apresentaram dinâmica folicular ovariana semelhante àquelas que receberam o dispositivo intravaginal. Entretanto, a taxa de ovulação e de prenhez foram inferiores nos grupos com a P4 injetável, possivelmente por diferença individual sobre o metabolismo da P4, resultando em níveis variáveis de LH.
Two experiments were conducted to compare the ovarian follicular dynamics of Nelore (Bos indicus) synchronized with FTAI protocol with injectable progesterone (P4) versus intravaginal device. In the experiment I, 36 multiparous cows 45-60 days post-partum were used. Twenty cows received an intravaginal device with 1 g of P4 and administration of 2 mg estradiol benzoate (EB) intramuscularly (IM) on D0. The device was removed on D8, followed by administration of 500 μg of cloprostenol, 300 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and 1 mg of estradiol cypionate (EC), IM. FTAI was performed on D10. In the injectable group, 350 mg of P4 (300 mg subcutaneously and 50 mg IM) and 2 mg of EB IM were administered on D0 to 16 cows. On D6, 500 μg of cloprostenol, 300 IU of eCG and 1 mg of EC were administered IM. FTAI was performed on D8. In the experiment II, 22 cows (11 with and 11 without corpus luteum - CL) received the same protocol with intravaginal device above, but the EC was replaced by 1 mg of EB on D9. Other 22 cows (11 with and 11 without CL) were synchronized with same protocol injectable P4 above, where the EC was replaced by 1 mg EB on D7. Ultrasonography was performed to determine follicular dynamics. In the experiment II, 65% of cows from the device group (13/20) and 75% from the injectable group (12/16) showed follicles ≥ 5 mm on D4 (p>0.05). The average rate of follicular growth was 0.92±0.25 and 1.06±0.45 mm/day for the device group and injectable, respectively (p>0.05). The average diameter of the dominant follicle (DF) at FTAI was 11.4±1.4 mm for the device group and 10.8±1.8 mm for the injectable group (p>0.05). The average diameter of the ovulatory follicles (OF) was 12.1±1.4 and 12.3±1.6 mm for the device group and injectable, respectively (p>0.05). The ovulation occurred in ninety percent of the device group (18/20) and in 37.5% of the injectable group (6/16); (p<0.05). The average diameter of the CL was 18.7±4.3 mm for the device group and 17.7±3.6 mm for the injectable group. In the experiment II, cows with or without CL, treated with injectable P4 or intravaginal device showed similar follicles ≥ 5 mm on D4, rate of follicular growth, rate of behavioral estrus and diameter of CL (p>0.05). Animals synchronized with an intravaginal device showed larger diameter of the DF at FTAI (11.7±2.0 mm) and OF (11.8±1.7 mm) than those received injectable P4 (9.7±1.7 and 10.6±1.8 mm, respectively); (p<0.05). Absence or presence of CL in cows synchronized with intravaginal device and the presence of CL in animals treated with injectable P4 showed better diameter of OF (12.4±1.3 or 12.1±1.2 and 12.2±1.4 mm, respectively) compared with those without CL treated with injectable P4 (10±2.0 mm); (p<0.05). The ovulation occurred in 59% (13/22) of cows with CL, 77.2% (17/22) of animals without CL, 90.9% (20/22) of treated with intravaginal device and 45.5% (10/22) of synchronized with injectable P4 (p<0.05). Cows without CL synchronized with intravaginal device showed better ovulation rate (100%, 11/11) than those treated with injectable P4, without CL (54.5%, 6/11) and with CL (36.3%, 4/11); (p<0.05). The pregnancy rate was larger in the intravaginal device group (45.4%, 10/22) compared to injectable P4 groups (18.1%, 4/22); (p=0.05). Cows synchronized with injectable P4-based FTAI protocol showed similar ovarian follicular dynamics to those treated with intravaginal device. However, the ovulation and pregnancy rates were lower in the injectable groups, possibly due to individual difference on P4 metabolism, resulting in variables levels of LH.

Abstract:

A great deal of research has been done to assess the effects of exercise intensity and duration on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). But the effects of an elevated core temperature (Tc) post-exercise have not been directly examined. To assess the effects of an elevated Tc on EPOC, eight healthy, active male subjects (27.5 ± 6.1 years) underwent two 45 minute exercise trials at =70% VO2max in an environmental chamber (36 °C / 10% RH) followed by a 45 minute recovery in either the environmental chamber (42 °C / 10% RH) wearing insulating clothing (HC), or in the ambient conditions of the testing lab (22 °C / 42% RH) without any additional clothing (AM). Oxygen consumption (V02), minute ventilation (VE), heart rate (HR), and rectal temperature (Tc) were recorded pre-, exercise, and post- during both trials. Subjects were monitored postexercise for 45 minutes. EPOC was determined by subtracting pre-trial V02 from the recovery V02 until the difference between the values equaled zero or until 45 minutes had elapsed. Within 25 minutes post-exercise, V02 during the AM recovery had returned to near resting levels (p = 0.146), while V02 during the HC recovery remained significantly elevated for at least 45 minutes (p = 0.027). Given that V02 remained significantly elevated through 45 minutes of recovery, and that all other measured variables (HR, VE, and respiratory exchange ratio) were significantly affected during the HC recovery, it is clear that an elevated Tc has an effect on EPOC.

Abstract:

A revista estadunidense "Em Guarda", veiculada em vários países americanos (inclusive no Brasil) durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945) traz em seus mais de 720 artigos, elementos que contribuem para uma análise de como os Estados Unidos tentaram impedir os países do "Eixo" de tornarem a América Latina sua zona de influência. Para tanto, os Estados Unidos mostraram-se os porta-vozes do progresso, da democracia e de admiráveis valores morais, que eram transmitidos por meio do rádio, do cinema, de revistas, de programas econômicos e de saúde. A imagem modelar da sociedade procurava ser disseminada por artistas, músicos e intelectuais e não por imposição militar. Nesse esforço em construir uma boa imagem da nação estadunidense, dentro da "Política da Boa Vizinhança", estava a publicação da revista "Em Guarda", que foi editada entre 1941 e 1945, e acompanhou a participação das Américas na guerra. Nosso foco de estudo propõe a análise do conteúdo impresso dos quatro anos de edição e assim entender um pouco mais sobre a Política da Boa Vizinhança e verificar as projeções de um Brasil no pós-guerra, por meio do olhar dos editores do periódico.
The American magazine "Em Guarda", broadcast in several American Countries (including Brazil) during the Second World War (1939-1945) shows in its more than 720 articles, elements that contribute to an analysis of how the United States tried to prevent from the "Axis" of influence becoming Latin American it's influence zone. To this aim, the United States authorities depicted themselves as leadership of progress, democracy and admirable moral values, which were broadcast through radio, cinema, magazines, health and economic aid programs. Such ideal image of society was spread by artists, musicians and intellectuals, not by military imposition. In this effort to build a good image of the American nation, within the "Good Neighborhood Policy," is the publication of the magazine "Em Guarda", which was published between 1941 and 1945 during the participation of the Americas in the war. Our focus of study aims to analyze the content of the print edition and four years as well as understand more about the Good Neighborhood Policy, check the projections of Brazil in a post-war through the eyes of the editors of the journal.

Abstract:

O Neospora caninum é considerado um protozoário, que atua como agente primário na ocorrência de abortamentos em bovinos, sendo considerado o principal agente desta patologia, principalmente em fêmeas de corte, em todo o mundo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo determinar a prevalência de anticorpos, transmissão vertical, bem como a parasitemia do N. caninum em fêmeas de corte da raça Nelore (Bos indicus) em diferente fases da gestação infectadas naturalmente, na região norte do Estado do Paraná, Brasil. Setenta e seis fêmeas gestantes de quatro propriedades (A=22, B=15, C=22, D=17) foram acompanhadas durante a gestação. Amostras de sangue com e sem EDTA foram colhidas, no primeiro trimestre, segundo, e terceiro trimestre de gestação, e as amostras de sangue de 31 recém-natos foram colhidas antes da ingestão do colostro. Do total de 76 fêmeas, 23 (30,3%) foram detectadas anticorpos contra N. caninum, amostras analisadas pela técnica indireta ELISA (Idexx), e 53 (69,7%) animais negativos. Treze vacas iniciaram o experimento negativas para N. caninum e 11 se tornaram positivas no segundo e terceiro trimestre de gestação, desta forma, a incidência da infecção foi de 17,2% (11. 4). OD de ELISA, foi alto (OD=2.08) no segundo terço quando comparado com o primeiro (OD=1,81), entretanto, não houve diferença estatística (P=0,45). A transmissão vertical foi calculada como sendo de 29,0% (9/31), e o risco da transmissão vertical do N. caninum em fêmeas com DO>1,0 foi 12,5 vezes mais elevada do que nas fêmeas com títulos mais baixos (OR = 12,5; 1,34 < OR < 150,77, P=0,012). Em conclusão, no presente estudo, a taxa de transmissão vertical do N. caninum em vacas de corte zebuínas foi de 29%, e o risco foi 26,25 maior em vacas com altos títulos de anticorpos. Com o objetivo de avaliar a parasitemia do N. caninum, 55 vacas nelores foram acompanhadas durante a gestação e amostras de sangue com e sem EDTA foram obtidas para a realização da PCR e da Reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI), respectivamente, durante o primeiro, segundo e terceiro trimestres de gestação. Animais com títulos ? 100 foram considerado positivos. Amostras de sangue e soro dos 55 bezerros provenientes das vacas foram colhidas antes da mamada do colostro para a realização da RIFI e PCR. A Prevalência total das vacas foi de 34,5% (19. 5) e para os bezerros foi de 7,3% (4. 5). A PCR revelou três vacas positivas (5,4%) todas no primeiro trimestre de gestação, e soropositivas na RIFI. Três bezerros positivos (5,4%) na PCR que apresentaram sorologia negativa, foram oriundos de vacas também soronegativas. O presente estudo mostrou uma parasitemia mais prevalente no primeiro trimestre de gestação em vacas nelore. No entanto, os resultados da PCR nos bezerros podem estar evidenciando tanto uma infecção precoce antes dos três meses de gestação (animais permanentemente infectados, PI) ou uma infecção tardia de gestação sem tempo dos bezerros montarem uma resposta imune humoral. Outros estudos devem ser realizados para um melhor entendimento da epidemiologia da neosporose durante a gestação em vacas de corte.
Neospora caninum is consideration a first agent protozoan of abortions in bovines, it?s considered the mainagent of this patology, especially in beef cows, worldwide. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of antibodies, the vertical transmission, in zebu Nelore beef cows (Bos indicus), naturally infected, in diferent stages of gestation, in the Northern of Paraná State, Brazil. Seventy six pregnant cows from four farms (A=22, B=15, C=22, D=17) were accomplished during gestation. Blood with and without EDTA were collected from cows at first, second, and third trimester of gestation, and a blood sample was collected from 31 calves before colostrum milking. From 76 cows 32 (42.1%) had anti-N. caninum antibodies detected by indirect ELISA (Idexx), and 44 (57.9%) did not. Thirty cows begun the experiment negative to N. caninum and become positive either second or third trimester of gestation, this mean an infection incidence of 17.1% (13/76). OD from ELISA was higher (OD=2.23) in second when compared with first (OD=1.67) and third (OD=1.97) trimester of pregnancy. The vertical transmission was calculated to be 29.0% (9/31), and the risk of vertical transmission of N. caninum in dams with OD > 1.0 was 12.5 times higher than lower titers (OR=12.5, 1.34

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The City of Morro Bay, California – Sign Ordinance Update and Embarcadero District Tourism-Oriented Directional Sign Plan Erik Berg-Johansen This report includes a Draft Sign Ordinance, a Tourism-Oriented Directional Sign Plan, and a background report for each product. The final products were created thought a process involving extensive research, community outreach, and detailed discussions among City of Morro Bay staff. The Sign Ordinance It was discovered that signs are important to business owners and residents due to their effect on both economic and aesthetic issues in communities. This report documents research of scholarly articles, case studies, and community outreach efforts. This report includes survey results and analysis that reveal the opinions of Morro Bay business owners, and also their ideas in regards to the sign ordinance update. According to many business owners, the current sign ordinance is convoluted, virtually unenforced, and unfairly applied. It was the goal of this project to hear what the community desires, and then apply this knowledge to a proposal that residents and business owners in Morro Bay approve of. The proposed sign ordinance aims to be fair and user-friendly, while ultimately enhancing community character and aesthetic quality in the future. Tourism-Oriented Directional Sign Plan The Tourism-Oriented Directional Sign Plan was created to promote tourism in the City of Morro Bay and negate the need for A-frame sign use in the Embarcadero District. The plan includes three alternatives that are intended to spur discussion among the Planning Commission when the proposal is presented. The background report associated with this plan is intended to provide the reasoning behind the proposals, and give readers of the plan background knowledge on directional signs in general. Similar to the sign ordinance background report, this report documents research of scholarly articles, case studies, and community outreach efforts.

Abstract:

In questa tesi verranno affrontati due argomenti principali. Il primo sono le tecnologie wearable, comprendendo anche la notazione più generica di tecnologie bearable, che si stanno sempre più diffondendo negli ultimi anni; il secondo sono le BAN (Body Area Network), reti di sensori e dispositivi posti sul corpo umano, utilizzate per rendere possibile la comunicazione e l'interazione fra i device wearable. Si partirà da una trattazione di tipo generico degli argomenti, descrivendo l'architettura fisica delle tecnologie, con focalizzazione sull'aspetto informatico prevalentemente che su quello elettronico e telecomunicazionistico. Si parlerà degli attuali impieghi dei dispositivi e delle reti, e delle loro probabili evoluzioni future. Si introdurranno poi i protocolli di comunicazione principali e se ne analizzeranno le differenze, decretando se sia o meno conveniente puntare su uno o sull'altro rispetto alle esigenze di progetto. Verrà introdotto il sistema operativo Android, descrivendo la sua architettura e fornendo le informazioni basilari per comprendere al meglio il rapporto esistente con la tecnologia Bluetooth.

Abstract:

Com o objetivo de comparar a produção in vitro de embriões a partir, de fêmeas Nelore (Bos indicus) com alta, média e baixa população de folículos antrais, ovários foram obtidos aos pares em abatedouro local e transportados até o laboratório. Para a quantificação da média da população folicular antral obteve-se ovários (n=336) de 168 fêmeas Nelore. A classificação dos grupos foi definida utilizando a média ± desvio padrão, em G-Alta (≥92 folículos), G-Média (46-76 folículos) e G-Baixa (≤ 31 folículos). Para a produção in vitro de embriões foram utilizados 752 ovários de 356 animais em 9 réplicas. Após obtenção, os ovários coletados foram levados ao laboratório para classificação nos grupos experimentais (alta, média e baixa) e recuperação oocitária. A quantidade de oócitos (n=15) por gota de meio e a quantidade de oócitos cultivados por grupo em cada réplica foram padronizadas. A produção in vitro de embriões foi comparada a partir das taxas de clivagem, blastocisto e eclosão. A análise estatística foi feita pelo teste de regressão logística utilizando o pacote estatístico Car do software "R" e as diferenças foram consideradas significativas se p<0,05. As taxas de clivagem e blastocisto não diferiram entre os grupos, sendo respectivamente, 76,6% e 40,6% em G-Alta (n= 617 oócitos), 77,5% e 36,3% em G-Média (n= 590 oócitos), e 79,5% e 38,6% em G-Baixa (n= 536 oócitos). A taxa de eclosão foi superior em G-Alta (16,5%) em comparação ao G-Média (11,5%; p= 0.0129) e G-Baixa (11,6%; p= 0.0179). A população de folículos antrais não demonstrou influência na produção in vitro de embriões, porém, fêmeas Nelore com alta contagem de folículos antrais (≥92) influenciaram positivamente a taxa de eclosão in vitro de embriões.
In order to compare the in vitro production of embryos from Nelore females (Bos indicus) with high, medium and low population of antral follicles, ovaries were obtained in pairs at a local slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory. To quantify the average antral follicular population, ovaries (n=336) were obtained from 168 Nelore females. The groups classification was defined using the average ± standard deviation, in G-high (follicles ≥92), G-Medium (46-76 follicles) and G-Low (≤ 31 follicles). To produce in vitro embryos, 752 ovaries from 356 animals in 9 replicates were used. After obtaining, the collected ovaries were taken to the laboratory for classification in the experimental groups (high, medium and low) and oocyte recovery. The number of oocytes (n=15) per drop of medium and the amount of cultured oocytes per group in each replicate were standardized. The in vitro production of embryos was compared from the cleavage, blastocyst and hatching rates. The statistical analysis was performed through the logistic regression test using the statistical package Car from the software "R" and the differences were considered significant if p<0.05. The cleavage and blastocyst rates did not differ between the groups, respectively, 76.6% and 40.6% in G-High (n=617 oocytes), 77.5% and 36.3% in G-Medium (n=590 oocytes) and 79.5% and 38.6% for G-Low (n=536 oocytes). The hatching rate was higher in G-High (16.5%) compared to the G-Medium (11.5%; p=0.0129) and the G-Low (11.6%; p=0.0179). The population of antral follicles did not influence the in vitro production of embryos, however, Nelore females with high score of antral follicles (≥92) influenced positively the in vitro hatching rate of embryos.

Abstract:

L'étude porte sur l'évolution du concordat, de l'Ordonnance de commerce de 1673 au Code de commerce de 1807. Technique de règlement en dehors de la faillite, le terme « concordat» est utilisé par les actes de la pratique pour désigner un sursis à l'exécution accordé au débiteur failli par ses créanciers. Or fréquents du XVIIème au XVIIIème siècle ces règlements tentent de survivre après la Révolution Française à l'initiative du notaire qui, garant de la sécurité juridique, dresse des formules traduisant «la loi des parties ». Si l'étude s'attache à l'analyse du mécanisme du concordat, elle souligne aussi les raisons du recours aux accommodements. Ainsi, les données politiques, commerciales, économiques, fiscales et sociales influent sur la pratique du concordat. Les contrats privilégient l'atermoiement ou la remise, qui sont les techniques les plus aptes à satisfaire à la fois débiteurs et créanciers
The subject of this thesis is the evolution of the «concordat» from the Ordinance of commerce of 1673 to the Code of commerce of 1807. The "concordat" [composition to creditors] is a technique of settlement separate from bankruptcy ; it was a term used in notarial documents to signify a stay of payment allowed to the bankrupt debtor by his creditors. Frequently used in the 17th and 18th centuries, these settlements continued to be resorted to after the French Revolution at the initiative of notaries, who were seen as guarantors of juridical security, and who used formulas corresponding to the wishes of the parties. The author, in addition to analysing the mechanism of the "concordat", also stresses the reasons for its frequent use; political, commercial, economic, fiscal and social factors are taken into account. Contracts favoured deferring or remission, techniques which were the most satisfying to debtor and creditor alike

Abstract:

The overall objective of the three studies framed within this thesis was to investigate the effects of a BodyBalance workout on back pain participants from a predominantly physiological, but also a psychological and biomechanical perspective. The focus of the research was verifying claims made by the creators of BODYBALANCETM and assessing the effects of their exercise programme on back pain sufferers. The first study examined physiological and psychological changes in healthy adults (n = 34) following a 12-week BodyBalance training programme with participants divided equally between an exercise and a control group. Using an experimental repeated measures 2x2 factorial design, it investigated the interaction of BodyBalance for selected anthropometric, cardiorespiratory, strength, flexibility and psychological measures. The second study then utilised a cross-sectional design to compare differences more specifically for trunk endurance, balance and back pain disability between back pain (n = 26) and healthy participants (n = 26). The final study investigated the effect of BodyBalance in chronic low-back pain individuals (n = 14) following a 10-week programme, with an equal division of participants between the BodyBalance and control groups. It employed a mixed-method approach to assess balance, trunk endurance, flexibility and strength, alongside various psychological changes. This incorporated a 2x2 repeated measures quantitative design alongside qualitative interview data (n = 7) analysed through ‘interpretive phenomenological analysis’ (IPA). Findings from study 1 displayed no significant changes in the control group following the intervention programme. However, significant changes in the BodyBalance group were noted for strength, flexibility and anthropometry in the trunk region along with reduced state anxiety. Results from study 2 reinforced the concept that individuals with chronic low-back pain were more likely to have weaker abdominal and back extensor endurance. Finally, study 3 revealed a significant improvement in the BodyBalance group for static balance with eyes open, back pain disability and some of the trunk flexibility and endurance measures. In addition, IPA extracted second order themes of back pain experience, understanding pain, coping strategies, identity, motivation and achievement. Overall findings of this thesis provide some support for the use of BodyBalance as a tool for the prevention and treatment of low-back pain.

Abstract:

Coastal dolphins are often exposed to habitat degradation and direct interactions with humans. Major factors that influence dolphin distribution, critical for conservation concerns, are still poorly understood even for the bottlenose dolphin, the best-studied cetacean. To establish the environmental conditions that best predict occurrence of bottlenose dolphins and high feeding densities in Galveston Bay, I conducted a total of 367 boat surveys in five locations of the estuary, totaling 3,814.77 km of search effort. I counted groups of dolphins and measured surface water temperature, salinity, turbidity, total number of boats, shrimp vessels, and number of seabirds. Using geospatial tools, these data -- along with location, distance to the Gulf of Mexico and water depth -- were analyzed on a 500- m resolution grid. Temporal factors at daily and seasonal scales were also examined. Occurrence was modeled using a Generalized Additive Model and core feeding densities (i.e., feeding densities above 2 SD of the mean) were modeled with a Generalized Linear Model. A total of 1,802 dolphins in 262 groups were detected, 56.87% of which were feeding. I found that all factors except warm/cold seasons and turbidity were useful to predict dolphin distribution, which was related non-linearly to most predictors. Fewer variables were relevant in predicting core feeding densities. These were, in decreasing order of relevance, distance to the Gulf of Mexico, surface water temperature, depth, number of boats, and warm/cold seasons. Feeding was highly clustered and the main core areas, less than approximately 3 km2 wide, were stable across time of day and season. The majority of the occurrences (86.2%) and feeding groups (94%) were situated in two bay locations - Galveston Ship Channel (GSC) and Bolivar Roads (BRD) - that amounted to only one- fifth of the surveyed area. Compared to conditions in GSC and BRD when no dolphins were sighted, feeding cores weredeeper and more seabirds were observed. This fine-scale study of bottlenose dolphin distribution may contribute to a better understanding of habitat requirements for coastal dolphins. It also may provide information needed to minimize potential negative impacts to this population caused by human activities.

Abstract:

MADS-box genes are important regulators of reproductive development in seed plants, including both flowering plants and conifers. In this thesis the evolution of the AGAMOUS subfamily of MADS-box genes, and what the ancestral function of this group of genes might have been in the early seed plants about 300 million years ago, was addressed by the discovery of two novel conifer genes, both basal to all previously known AGAMOUS subfamily genes. DAL20, the most basal of these genes, was exclusively expressed in roots, unlike all previously known AGAMOUS subfamily genes. I also studied the evolutionary mechanisms leading to functional diversification of duplicated genes in two different subfamilies of MADS-box genes; the AGAMOUS and AGL6 subfamilies. Focus was on studying changes in gene expression pattern, representing changes in the transcriptional regulation between the genes, and on comparing the functional properties of the gene products, representing changes in the protein-coding sequence between the genes. Duplicated genes in the AGL6 subfamily were found to have evolved by both mechanisms. In the AGAMOUS subfamily I found duplicated spruce genes; DAL2 and DAL20, that appear to have functionally diversified mainly by changes in the transcriptional regulation. Conifer AGAMOUS subfamily genes were also used in a comparative developmental-genetics approach to evaluate hypotheses, based on the morphology of fossil and extant conifer seed cones, on the identity of the female reproductive organ, the ovuliferous scale, and the evolution of seed cone morphology in the conifer families Pinaceae, Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae. Seed cones in these families have been hypothesized to have homologous ovule-bearing organs, but I found substantial differences in the expression patterns of orthologous AGAMOUS subfamily genes in seed cones of these families that are not compatible with this hypothesis, indicating that the evolutionary history of conifer seed cones is more diverse than previously thought.

Abstract:

Presented is a radiometric sensor and associated electromagnetic propagation models, developed to facilitate non-invasive core body temperature extraction. The system has been designed as a close-proximity sensor to detect thermal emissions radiated from deep-seated tissue 1 cm – 3 cm inside the human body. The sensor is intended for close proximity health monitoring applications, with potential implications for deployment into the improved astronaut liquid cooling garment (LCG). The sensor is developed for high accuracy and resolution. Therefore, certain design issues that distort the close proximity measurement have been identified and resolved. An integrated cavity-backed slot antenna (CBSA) is designed to account for antenna performance degradation, which occurs in the near field of the human body. A mathematical Non-Contact Model (NCM) is subsequently used to correlate the observed brightness temperature to the subsurface temperature, while accounting for artifacts induced by the sensor’s remote positioning from the specimen. In addition a tissue propagation model (TPM) is derived to model incoherent propagation of thermal emissions through the human body, and accounts for dielectric mismatch and losses throughout the intervening tissue layers. The measurement test bed is comprised of layered phantoms configured to mimic the electromagnetic characteristics of a human stomach volume; hence defines the human core model (HCM). A drop in core body temperature is simulated via the HCM, as the sensor monitors the brightness temperature at an offset distance of approximately 7 mm. The data is processes through the NCM and TPM; yielding percent error values < 3%. This study demonstrates that radiometric sensors are indeed capable of subsurface tissue monitoring from the near field of the body. However, the following components are vital to achieving an accurate measurement, and are addressed in this work: 1) the antenna must be designed for optimum functionality in close proximity to biological media; 2) a multilayer phantom model is needed to accurately emulate the point of clinical diagnosis across the tissue depth; 3) certain parameters of the non-contact measurement must be known to a high degree of accuracy; and 4) a tissue propagation model is necessary to account for electromagnetic propagation effects through the stratified tissue.

Abstract:

This dissertation contains a study of the multitext manuscript Codex Holmiensis D 3 based in Material Philology and its focus on the material conditions underlying manuscripts. The aim of the investigation is to describe D 3 in order to increase understanding of its material conditions including content and circumstance of copying, as well as its use and purpose. D 3 contains 14 text works in different genres, for example romances, chronicles, and edifying works. The paper manuscript in the format of a holster book has been dated through its watermarks to around 1487/1488. It was written for the noblewoman Elin Gustavsdotter (Sture). An older manuscript, Codex Holmiensis D 4a, has previously been identified as the exemplar of D 3. These manuscripts are very similar as regards language and content. However, it is shown here that D 4a could not have been the model for D 3 in the case of the romance Flores och Blanzeflor; nor can the manuscript as a whole be a copy of D 4a. There are few traces of use in D 3, but the first work, Herr Ivan Lejonriddaren, has several concluding texts before its final closing. These concluding texts suggest that parts of the work were being read while the rest was being copied. There are also dual quire signatures in this work, implying that the quires were in disarray, possibly because they were in use when the signatures were added. The purpose of D 3 was to educate and provide examples of good and bad behaviour for the nobility. Moreover, there is an owner-epilogue which also stresses courtly ideals and can be linked to the concept of exemplary behaviour. The contents can also be ordered thematically, with first a Carolingian connection, followed by one connected with Ireland and finally one focused on the Christian community. Codicological breaks divide the manuscript into two parts, which leads to the assumption of at least two common exemplars for D 3 and D 4a. An emphasis on the materiality of the manuscript reveals it to be not so much an unwieldy collection of unrelated text witnesses as a book created for a certain person and her time.
