    Chloeia pocicola Barroso & Kudenov in Barroso et al. 2021 Chloeia pocicola Barroso & Kudenov in Barroso et al. 2021: 5–8, Figs. 2–4. Diagnosis. Chloeia with bipinnate branchiae from chaetiger 4, abruptly decreasing in size after a few segments; dorsal cirri dark purple along their basal half; notochaetae furcates and harpoon chaetae with tines or without them; neurochaetae furcates with longer tines smooth or denticulate along inner margin. Remarks. Chloeia pocicola Barroso & Kudenov in Barroso et al. (2021) was described from Brazil. Together with C. kudenovi Barroso & Paiva, 2011, also described from Brazil, they belong in the group kudenovi, because their bipinnate branchiae start in chaetiger 4, becoming abruptly shortened after a few chaetigers. These two species differ, as indicated above, because of the pigmentation of their dorsal cirri, and the type of furcate neurochaetae. In C. pocicola, the dorsal cirri are pigmented along their basal half, and its furcate neurochaetae are denticulate along the inner margin, whereas in C. kudenovi dorsal cirri are basally pigmented, and furcate neurochaetae have smooth tines. It is interesting that C. pocicola has neurochaetae furcates with major tines denticulate along inner margin, which are recorded only for C. pinnata but in this latter species they are present in notochaetae, are restricted to the first chaetiger, and their denticles are barely developed. It is likely that after the study of the type material, and an emendment of the diagnosis for Bathychloeia Horst, 1910 regarding the start of branchiae and their size proportions along body, C. pocicola might be transferred to Bathychloeia, but that is beyond my current objective.Published as part of Salazar-Vallejo, Sergio I., 2023, Revision of Chloeia Savigny in Lamarck, 1818 (Annelida, Amphinomidae), pp. 1-134 in Zootaxa 5238 (1) on page 94, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5238.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/762179

    TCC (Graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Desportos. Curso de Graduação em Educação Física.O presente estudo visou identificar os motivos de prática de futsal em universidade pública. O instrumento utilizado para identificar os fatores motivacionais foi a Escala de Motivos para Prática Esportiva (EMPE), adaptada e validada para uso no Brasil por Barroso (2007). Participaram 44 acadêmicos do sexo masculino, integrantes das turmas de educação física curricular (EFC - iniciação e aperfeiçoamento) e da equipe de treinamento durante o primeiro semestre de 2012, com idade média de 24,27+4,31 anos. Em ordem de importância, os fatores foram: Saúde, seguido de Condicionamento Físico (Muito Importantes), Aperfeiçoamento Técnico, Afiliação, Liberação de Energia e Contexto (Importantes) e por último Status (Pouco Importante). Comparando os grupos, verificou-se que a EFC é mais motivada nas categorias Saúde e Contexto e o treinamento em Aperfeiçoamento Técnico e Afiliação, não havendo nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significativa entre eles. Ocorreu correlação apenas entre o aspecto sociodemográfico “estado civil dos pais dos universitários” e o fator motivacional Saúde (r=0,324; p=0,032). Recomenda-se estudos com outras modalidades, ampliando a coleta para outras instituições públicas e privadas, bem como outras cidades e estados

    Mission? Gestion? Cabinets in the Barroso Commission

    No full text
    This paper develops three basic arguments about the evolving role of cabinets – the personal offices of European Commissioners – in the work of the Commission. First, however much their roles may have changed, any cabinet is only as strong as the Commissioner it serves. Second, cabinets have become a bridge between long-time member states and new, inexperienced, post-2004 entrants. Third, the cabinet system helps ‘rescue’ the Commission from several barely imaginable fates. One is the one it would face if there existed no channel by which national EU capitals could truly influence and shape the work of the Commission

    Aricidea (Acmira) filamentosa sp. nov. Figures 2–4 Type material. Holotype (MZUSP4066), 18º32’3.6” S, 39º23’16.91” W, 20 m deep, 17 Jan 2012, Espírito Santo Basin, Brazil. Paratypes: 18º32’3.6” S, 39º 23’ 16.91” W, 20 m deep: 22 specs (UFBA-1583), 17 Jan 2012, Espírito Santo Basin, Brazil. Description. Holotype incomplete with 71 chaetigers (paratypes: 55–88), 7 mm long (paratypes: 4.6–10.7), 0.2 mm wide in branchial region (paratypes: 0.19–0.20). Body anteriorly enlarged and dorsoventrally flattened, gradually becoming slender and cylindrical in posterior region (Fig. 2A). Prostomium triangular, acuminate, slightly longer than wide, with a short median antenna, with a thin base and inflated and rounded tip, inserted in the mid-prostomium and not reaching its posterior margin (Figs 2A, B; 4A). A pair of nuchal organs as oblique slits located in posterior region of prostomium (Fig. 2B), a band of cilia located on ventral side of prostomium. First two notopodial postchaetal lobes short and tuberculate, cirriform and longer from chaetiger 3, with rounded tips and bowl-shaped in anterior branchiate region, slightly longer and thinner in posterior branchiate chaetigers, and filiform from branchiate region to end of body (Figs 2 A–F; 3A; 4A). Neuropodial postchaetal lobes absent (Figs 2 C–F; 3 A–B; 4A). Branchiae starting from chaetiger 4, numbering 10 pairs in holotype; up to 16 pairs in paratypes; branchiae of first two pairs short and cirriform, followed by longer and foliaceous ones with rounded tips; last two pairs short and cirriform (Figs 2A, C–E; 4A); bearing ciliary bands both on outer and inner margins. Anterior region with capillaries in noto- and neuropodia, ca. 12 in each, organized in two parallel rows in each fascicle (Fig. 2B). In post branchial region, noto- and neuropodia with ca. six capillaries organized in single rows; number of capillaries reducing to four in posterior chaetigers. Modified neurochaetae of two types from chaetiger 23 onwards: 1) recurved and smooth (Figs 3B, 4B), and 2) recurved bearing numerous pubescence at sub-distal and distal ends, with bent tips and a thin, ornate and delicate filament, with a few minute pubescence in its basal region (Figs 3 A–D, 4B–C); under light microscope, the former appear as a hooded hook with distal filament barely visible; two types of modified chaetae occur in same row (Fig. 3B), with up to seven chaetae in midbody, progressively decreasing to 2–4 modified neurochaetae with distal filaments and 1–2 smooth ones towards posterior region (Fig. 3 A–B). Pygidium not observed in holotype; complete paratypes bearing three anal cirri (Figs 2G; 4D). Remarks. Aricidea (Acmira) filamentosa sp. nov. was scarcely sampled and collected from only one specific area within the sampled region (Fig 1). Although belonging to a group that have modified neurochaetae with a long distal filament, it differs from the others by the presence of a second type of modified neurochaetae, morphology of the antenna and/or the number of pairs of branchiae. For instance, Aricidea (Acmira) lopezi Berkeley & Berkeley, 1956 bears a long antenna (narrow at the base, broader in its middle section, and tapering long and thread-like at the tip), and possesses 18 pairs of branchiae. Aricidea assimilis Tebble, 1959 has a very long antenna (reaching chaetiger 8), and 21 pairs of branchiae; Aricidea (Acmira) rubra Blake, 1996 has antenna with an acuminate tip, and up to 30 pairs of branchiae; Aricidea (Acmira) taylori Pettibone, 1965 has a bifurcate antenna, and up to 29 pairs of branchiae; Aricidea (Acmira) catherinae Laubier, 1967 possesses a proximally enlarged antenna, and up to 25 pairs of branchiae; Aricidea (Acmira) philbinae Brown, 1976 bears similar number of pairs of branchiae, but differs in having an asymmetrically bifid antenna. Aricidea (Acmira) finitima Strelzov, 1973 differs by the presence of a longer antenna with an acuminate tip and by having up to 32 pairs of branchiae. The species Aricidea (Acmira) laubieri Hartley, 1981 has a similarly shaped but longer antenna, and similar modified neurochaeta, but differs in having up to 27 pairs of branchiae and up to 14 modified neurochaetae per parapodia, which starts after 30–37 segments in this species. Finally, the species Aricidea (Acmira) bispinata Cantone, 1994 bears a similar number of pairs of branchiae, but differs in the morphology of the antenna, which is broader proximally, tapers distally and reaches chaetiger 2. Geographic distribution and bathymetric range. Aricidea (Acmira) filamentosa sp. nov. occurs in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, off the Brazilian coast, in the Espírito Santo Basin, at depths between 20 and 34 meters. Substrate. This species was collected from substrates with a high percentage of sand (86%), complemented by mud (9%) and pebbles (5%). Bottom temperatures varied between 24.4 and 24.6°C. Etymology. The epithet filamentosa refers to the long and ornate filament attached to the distal region of the modified neurochaeta of this species.Published as part of Barroso, R., Paiva, P.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Ophthalmology. 2005 Feb;112(2):208-18; discussion 219. Mitomycin C modulation of corneal wound healing after photorefractive keratectomy in highly myopic eyes. Gambato C, Ghirlando A, Moretto E, Busato F, Midena E. SourceRefractive Surgery Service and Antimetabolite Therapy Research Unit, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Padova, Padova, Italy. Abstract PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes. DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia. METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively). CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK. Comment in Ophthalmology. 2006 Feb;113(2):357; author reply 357-8
