    Hemipogon trilobatus Bitencourt & Rapini sp. nov. urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77213240-1 Figs 1–2 Diagnosis Flowers with reduced, apically 3-lobed corona lobes. Similar to H. acerosus due to the acicular leaves, sessile cymes and urceolate corolla, internally bearded along the lobe basal half, but can be distinguished by the opposite leaves (vs verticillate in H. acerosus) and presence of a corona (vs absence in H. acerosus). Etymology The epithet ʻ trilobatus ʼ refers to the apically 3-lobed corona lobes.

Ferreira 2579; UFG[14114]!. Description Herbs to subshrub erect, 20–30 cm tall; stems 2 or 3, diverging at base, cylindrical, glabrescent; latex white. Leaves opposite, obliquely erect, sessile, acicular to narrowly elliptic, 0.7–1 × 0.1–0.13 mm, apex acute, base cuneate, margins entire, coriaceous, glabrescent. Cymes alternate, 2- or 4-flowered, subaxillary; bracts lanceolate, ca 1.5 × 0.6 mm, glabrous, sessile. Flowers with pedicel 1–1.5 mm long; sepals ovate, 1.5–1.6 × 0.5–0.7 mm, apex acute, glabrescent, axillary colleters not seen; corolla urceolate, probably cream or white, abaxially glabrescent, adaxially bearded from base to centre of lobes, tube 0.5– 0.7 × 0.8–1.1 mm, lobes triangular, 1–1.2 × 0.8–1 mm, apex acute and recurved; corona staminal, lobes short, at base of anthers, oblate, 0.3–0.45 × 0.7–0.76 mm, apex 3-lobed; anthers 0.45–0.5 × 0.6–0.7 mm, triangular, wings triangular, 0.3–0.4 × 0.15–0.2 mm, connective appendage oblong, 0.3–0.4 mm long, over gynostegium; corpusculum ellipsoid, 0.17–0.25 × 0.08–0.1 mm; caudicles horizontal, ca 0.05 mm long, subapically attached to pollinia; pollinia ellipsoid, 0.16–0.2 × 0.06–0.08 mm; style-head apically mammillate, included within corolla tube. Follicles not seen. Distribution, habitat and phenology Hemipogon trilobatus sp. nov. is known from a small population nearby the S„o Bento waterfall, in Chapada dos Veadeiros, Goiás, Brazil (Fig. 2). It grows in open savannah and wet grasslands locally known as “várzea” and was collected with flowers in August and September. The species has not been found since a fire burned the type locality (M.A. da Silva, pers. com., 2015). Provisional conservation status Hemipogon trilobatus sp. nov. is known from only two collections, both near the S„o Bento waterfall, in Chapada dos Veadeiros. Specimen labels provide no information about population density. However, the species is known to occur in a tourist location, surrounded by farms and cattle raising, has an area of occupancy (AOO) estimated at 8 km 2, probably under continuing decline in geographic range and habitat quality. During fieldwork in the type locality, we did not find any specimen of H. trilobatus sp. nov. and the new species has not been recollected since 1994. Based on criteria B2ab(i,ii,iii,iv) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2019) Red List assessment, we provisionally classify the species as Critically Endangered (CR). Taxonomic note Hemipogon trilobatus sp. nov. has narrow leaves, urceolate corolla with bearded lobes and was found in a savannah of Central Brazil. Together, these features support its classification in Hemipogon s. str. It most closely resembles H. acerosus based on the acicular leaves and sessile cymes, but differs from all other taxa in the genus by the opposite leaves and flowers with reduced corona lobes, as presented in the key below and Table 1.Published as part of Bitencourt, Cássia, Santos, Amanda P.

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia.Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa junto a familiares de idosos portadores da Doença de Alzheimer (DA), que teve como objetivo investigar como os familiares cuidadores enfrentam o processo de demência de seus entes. Partiu-se de uma observação participante de campo em um grupo de ajuda mútua para familiares de portadores de demência. Em seguida, foram feitas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 15 familiares de idosos portadores da DA. Para identificar a fase do adoecimento de cada portador, foi aplicada a escala CDR (Clinical Dementia Rating). Foram descritas a estrutura, a dinâmica familiar e a história da doença dos portadores de cada família, junto a um genetograma, e realizou-se análise de conteúdo das entrevistas. Observou-se que, na maioria das famílias, as cuidadoras principais eram as filhas. Destacaram-se três grupos temáticos: 1) relação entre família e portador; 2) cuidados ao portador; 3) processo de enfrentamento. Na fase inicial, o desconhecimento marcava o contato com a doença. A negação era evidente nas fases média e moderada, seguida por uma adaptação, pelo confronto com a realidade da doença nas fases moderada e severa. Nas fases profunda e terminal os familiares relataram as perdas ocorridas com o agravamento da DA de seus pais. O cansaço estava presente em todo o processo. O grupo de ajuda mútua pareceu oferecer suporte para o melhor enfrentamento da família em relação à DA. This is a qualitative research made with relatives of elders with Alzheimer Disease (AD), whose objective was to investigate how the caregiving relatives cope with the process of dementia of their beloved ones. The present research started from a field participant observation within a group of mutual help for relatives of people with dementia. Afterwards, semistructured interviews with 15 relatives of elders with AD were made. In order to identify the stage of sickening of each person, the CDR (Clinical Dementia Rating) scale was applied. The structure, the familial dynamics and the history of the disease of the patients of each family were described, along with a genetic map, and the analysis of the interviews content was accomplished. It was possible to observe that, in most of the families, the main caregivers were the daughters. There were three main thematic groups: 1) the relationship between the family and the patient with AD; 2) cares to the patient; 3) process of coping. In the initial stage, the ignorance was the main characteristic of the contact with the disease. The denial was evident in the medium and moderate stages, followed by the adaptation and by the confrontation with the reality of the disease in the moderate and severe stages. In the deep and terminal stages, the relatives related the losses that ocurred with the aggravation of their parents' AD. Tiredness was present during the entire process. The mutual help group seemed to offer support for the relatives to cope with the AD

    Resumen: El autor reflexiona sobre nuestra misión en el contexto de la Iglesia de América Latina en camino hacia Aparecida. Se centra en dos temas: 1) nuestra Iglesia de América Latina, en la que vivimos la fe y hacemos teología y 2) el acontecimiento y el tema de la V Conferencia, que nos convoca a ser discípulos misioneros de Cristo.
