New results in ancient Maya rituals researches: The study of human painted bones fragments from Calakmul archaeological site (Mexico)
2020
Abstract The funeral chambers of the ancient city of Calakmul (Mexico) and the individuals who were buried in them have brought in recent decades new knowledge about the beliefs and funeral customs of the pre-Hispanic Maya. Tombs and bodies were prepared as part of the rituals that should favor the return of ch'ulel to the Underworld, known as Xibalba by the ancient Maya. The ch'ulel is one of the two anemic entities that inhabit the individual, equivalent to our concept of the soul. Bodies preparation included coloured scented body ointments application, with a deep symbolic connotation and probably also a conservative purpose. The aim of this research was to characterize pigments and bind…
Spatial variability of macrozoobenthic community and trophic structure of a subtropical lagoon on southeastern Brazil's Atlantic coast
2013
The objective of this study was to investigate the macrobenthic community of two compartments of the Maricá-Guarapina lagoon system, along the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in relation to its abiotic sediment factors. An additional discrimination between sites was made, wherever the macrophyte Typha domingensis was found. This vegetation supposedly represents a potentially important food source for consumers. Furthermore, the trophic pathways were analyzed functionally by means of stable isotope analysis to assess the role of organic matter sources for consumers in the study area. In conclusion, the results showed differences between abiotic features in the compartments of the lagoon sys…
Combined phylogenetic and morphometric information to delimit and unify the Triatoma brasiliensis species complex and the Brasiliensis subcomplex
2017
Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T16:46:15Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-06-01 “Triatoma brasiliensis species complex” was defined as a monophyletic group of the species: T. brasiliensis, T. juazeirensis, T. melanica, and T. sherlocki. An alternative grouping scheme proposed the concept of “Brasiliensis subcomplex” which included the former species together with T. melanocephala, T. petrocchiae, T. lenti, T. tibiamaculata, and T. vitticeps. To evaluate the relationship among these taxa we combined the results obtained with four mitochondrial genes (12S, 16S, COI and Cytb, adding to 1811 bp) and geometric morphometric analysis of wings and heads. Panstrongylus m…
The forgotten tale of Brazilian phage therapy
2020
The use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections (known as phage therapy) is considered a possible solution to the antimicrobial resistance crisis. However, phage therapy is not a new concept. The discovery of phages in the early 20th century was closely tied to clinical practice, and phage therapy quickly spread around the world. The use of phage therapy in South America in the previous century is still shrouded in mystery and has been mentioned only briefly in recent scientific literature. Research on Brazilian reference collections of medical texts showed that Brazil was an important, but so far little-known, player of phage therapy, uncovering interesting priority claims and miss…
Escuela y derechos: el caso Xakriabá
2015
El propósito inicial de documentar la novedad de las prácticas educativas desarrolladas durante el proceso de implantación de las Escuelas Indígenas de Minas Gerais (Brasil) condujo, a partir de la experiencia de campo realizada en el Área Indígena Xakriabá, a una descripción analítica más enfocada en las decepciones y contradicciones generadas a partir de tales supuestas prácticas y expresadas por los distintos actores del fenómeno. La escuela como derecho se contrapone a la escuela como obligación. Aquí se intenta rastrear algunas de las raíces filosóficas de este conflicto que corren paralelas a la historia de la civilización y operan, especialmente para Occidente, desde los comienzos de…
Doing archaeology and working with Amazonian communities: the case of the earthen structures known as geoglyphs
2018
The project of study of earthen structures known as geoglyphs led by the universities of Valencia (Spain) and the Federal University of Acre (Rio Branco, Brazil) has different objectives but the main one, beyond, the study of the structures is the implementation of plans that allow the necessary protection of these monuments having an impact on local communities. The project pretends to move away from interventions that could be labeled as ‘neocolonialist’ and contribute to the development of archaeological activity in the state of Acre. For this, it has the collaboration of the Acrean delegation of the Instituto de Patrimonio Histórico Artístico (IPHAN), la fundación Elías Mansur de Cultur…

2019
espanolEl presente articulo, producido a partir de un estudio de caso, aborda la cuestion de la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) en el Brasil. Basado en una Metodologia de Evaluacion da RSU, que busca identificar las evidencias objetivas sobre las acciones desarrolladas por las instituciones de educacion superior a partir de siete indicadores de Responsabilidad Social (inclusion social; desarrollo economico y social; defensa del medio ambiente; defensa del patrimonio y memoria cultural; defensa de la produccion artistica e defensa de la produccion deportiva y salud), se analizan las acciones concretas implantadas por el Centro de Ciencias Humanas, Sociales y Agrarias (CCHSA) da Un…
Application of PGPB Combined with Variable N Doses Affects Growth, Yield-Related Traits, N-Fertilizer Efficiency and Nutritional Status of Lettuce Gr…
2022
Nitrogen (N) fertilization is a crucial agricultural practice for boosting production traits in vegetables. However, N synthetic fertilizers—commonly adopted by farmers—have several counterproductive effects on the environment and on humans. The research was performed to assess the combined influence of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) (Azospirillum brasilense DSM 1690, A. brasilense DSM 2298 and Pseudomonas sp. DSM 25356) and various N fertilization doses (0, 30, 60 or 120 kg ha−1) on growth, yield, quality and nitrogen indices of lettuce in protected cultivation. Plant height, root collar diameter, number of leaves and fresh weight were enhanced by A. brasilense DS…
Rahoitusmarkkinainformaatio BRIC-maiden laajennetussa Taylorin säännössä
2017
Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan BRIC-maiden harjoittamaa rahapolitiikkaa vuosina 2005-2015. Tutkielman päämääränä on selvittää, ovatko keskuspankit reagoineet rahapolitiikallaan inflaation ja tuotantokuilun lisäksi myös rahoitusmarkkinainformaatioon. Aineistona on käytetty reaaliaikaista aineistoa inflaation ja tuotantokuilun osalta. Rahoitusmarkkinainformaatiolla tarkoitetaan tutkielmassa kohdemaan valuuttakurssia ja keskimääräistä osinkotuottoa. Rahapolitiikkaa on arvioitu sekä sen hetkisten että eteenpäin katsovien Taylorin sääntöjen avulla. Rahoitusmarkkinainformaation roolia on tutkittu estimoimalla erilaisia rahoitusmarkkinainformaatiolla laajennettuja Taylorin sääntöjä ja arvioimalla laaj…
