Regeneração de espécies madeireiras na floresta secundária da mata altlântica
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Agroecossistemas, Florianópolis, 2014.O estudo teve como objetivo compreender a estrutura e a dinâmica das espécies regenerantes, e descrever o seu potencial para recompor o estoque de espécies florestais madeiráveis em caso de colheita de árvores maduras, em uma formação florestal secundária da Floresta Ombrófila Densa na Mata Atlântica. As florestas secundárias são compostas por elevada diversidade de espécies e com grande estoque de madeiras disponíveis. No processo de regeneração e sucessão florestal árvores maduras vão sendo disponibilizadas, e que poderão ser aproveitadas para produção de madeira. Os indivíduos regenerantes das formações florestais secundárias serão responsáveis pela reposição das árvores colhidas ou senescentes naturalmente, mantendo os processos dinâmicos e que formarão a estrutura florestal. Os dados para este estudo foram obtidos em parcelas permanentes, de uma floresta secundária na região norte do Estado de Santa Catarina, através de dois inventários florestais, nos anos de 2010 e 2013, onde foram mensurados e avaliados todos os indivíduos com diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP) = 5 cm. Os indivíduos regenerantes foram agrupados em três categorias: com potencial madeireiro, sem potencial madeireiro e plântulas. Os resultados demonstraram que há regenerantes de espécies com potencial madeireiro, com bom número de indivíduos, e que apresentam uma distribuição espacial predominantemente aleatória. Também foi observado que os regenerantes de Miconia cabucu, Nectandra membranacea e Matayba intermedia estão presentes em locais com as menores áreas basais da floresta, e os regenerantes de Guapira opposita, Marlierea tomentosa, Sloanea guianensis Virola bicuhyba e Cabralea canjerana estão distribuídos de forma mais homogênea na área de estudo. A maior densidade indivíduos identificados pertence a espécies sem potencial madeireiro, o que sugere a necessidade de intervenção para favorecer as espécies de interesse. Houve elevada densidade no banco de plântulas, o que demonstra grande capacidade de regeneração da floresta. O estudo conclui que há um grande potencial através do processo de regeneração natural para repor o estoque de madeira em uma eventual colheita na floresta estudada.The study aimed to understand the structure and dynamics of regenerating species, and describe their potential to restore the stock of timber forest species in case of harvesting of mature trees, in a secondary forest formation of Dense Omprophilous Forest in Atlantic Forest. Secondary forests are composed by high diversity of species and timber availability. In forest regeneration and succession mature trees become available and may be used for timber. Regenerating individuals from secondary forest formations will account for the reposition of harvested or naturally ageing trees, maintaining the dynamic processes that will form the forest structure. Data were obtained in permanent parcels of a secondary forest in north of Santa Catarina state through two forest inventories, in 2010 and 2013, where all individuals with diameter at breast height (DBH) = 5 cm were measured and evaluated. Individuals were grouped in three potential categories: timber, nom timber and seedlings. Results show that the density of regenerating timber individuals expresses the capacity to restore timber stock in a possible harvesting, and that they present a predominantly random allocation. It was also observed that the regenerating individuals of Miconia cabucu, Nectandra membranacea and Matayba intermedia species are allocated in the lower basal areas of the forest, and regenerating individuals of Guapira opposita, Marlierea tomentosa, Sloanea guianensis Virola bicuhyba and Cabralea canjerana species are allocated more homogeneously in the area of study. Most individuals composing the regenerating stratumare non-timber species, which suggests the need for intervention to favor the species of interest. There was a high density in seedling bank, which shows a high regeneration capacity. The study concludes there is a high potential through natural regeneration process to restore timber stock in a possible harvesting in the forest on study
Comunidade de Besouros Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) em duas áreas de Mata Atlântica do Parque Municipal da Lagoa do Peri, Florianópolis-SC: Subsídios para o Biomonitoramento Ambiental
Full text linkTCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciências Biológicas. Biologia.Os besouros Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) têm sido sugeridos como indicadores biológicos de qualidade ambiental por participarem de importantes serviços ambientais e apresentarem sensibilidade a alterações no ambiente. Os Scarabaeinae da Mata Atlântica do Parque Municipal da Lagoa do Peri (Florianópolis- SC) foram estudados com o objetivo de se conhecer a diversidade destes insetos e seu comportamento ao longo de um ano, calculando medidas ecológicas que visam a comparação de comunidades. As coletas foram realizadas mensalmente de julho/2007 a junho/2008 em duas áreas de Mata Atlântica do Parque: uma às margens da Lagoa e muito utilizada como trilha; e outra em área de encosta, com pouco uso. Foram utilizadas 20 armadilhas de queda com isca de atração e distribuídas entre as áreas. Um total de 2691 indivíduos de 18 espécies foi coletado, sendo Canthon rutilans cyanescens e Dichotomius aff. sericeus as espécies mais abundantes. A comunidade apresentou um padrão sazonal associado a temperaturas médias mais elevadas, onde ocorreu maior abundância, biomassa, riqueza e diversidade de espécies durante o período de setembro a fevereiro (primavera-verão). A comunidade da área de encosta apresentou uma maior riqueza de espécies, além de contribuir com maior biomassa para o ecossistema. As espécies Coprophanaeus saphirinus e Paracanthon rosinae estiveram associadas à área de encosta enquanto Deltochilum irroratum e Eurysternus parallelus foram associadas à área na beira da lagoa. Essas espécies, que apresentam associações com gradientes de diferentes características ambientais, são úteis na busca de espécies bioindicadoras focais que possam identificar níveis de respostas para distúrbios antropogênicos em florestas tropicais da região
(Re) claiming my Fat Brown Body: An Auto-Testimonio of a MeXicana Mujer
Full text linkThis research documents the auto-testimonio of a fat brown MeXicana. The primary goal is to deconstruct the “fat” brown body as a site of violence through fat phobia and sexual violence. I explore the following questions: Is there a relationship between fatness and the sexual abuse I experienced? What are the tools that MeXicanas use to reconcile between their fatness and experiences of violence? And is embodied knowledge a tool to address violence towards women? This research then looks at the intersections of fat bodies with race and gender. Also, it (re)claims words such as fat and gorda. To challenge labels that attempt to control fat bodies, I argue that fat brown bodies are a source of knowledge and resistance. My auto-testimonio (testimony) investigates the concept of embracing fatness as form of resistance and the reality that facing fatphobia is a form of violence.California State University, Northridge.

Because preadolescence is a critical period, this study will assess a multicomponent mediational intervention program, to determine the possibility of improving these skills. There were 61 preadolescent participants, between the ages of 8 and 12; 34 were associated with HFR and 27 were associated with low family risk (LFR). All the participants were tested with EF and IS measures. Results showed that, prior to treatment, the HFR preadolescents had poorer performance on EF and IS than did the LFR preadolescents. In the posttreatment measures, to assess the utility of the multicomponent program, the HFR preadolescents group was able to match the scores of those in the LFR group. In addition, intervention effects in the HFR group were maintained in the follow-up assessment.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by Andalusian Regional Government (Junta de Andalucía) under Grant Proyecto de Excelencia 2012, P12-SEJ-560

Functional analysis of some yeast genes
Full text linkA series of mutant strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are sensitive to osmotic stress and also have a defect in vacuolar biogenesis have been isolated (M. Latterich, PhD Thesis 1992). The mutations that cause this pleiotropic phenotype are termed ssv, for salt sensitive vacuolar mutants. Complementation analysis has revealed that ssv mutations fall into one of 18 complementation groups. A MAP kinase related signal transduction pathway, termed the HOG pathway for High Osmolarity Glycerol, has been identified in yeast. This pathway senses osmotic stress and invokes the cellular response, one aspect of which is the accumulation of intracellular glycerol (Brewster et. al, 1993). Mutations in the HOG pathway often cause an osmosensitive phenotype similar to that shown by ssv mutations. This work sets out to characterise several ssv strains for defects in the HOG pathway. These strains were subjected to osmotic stress and the intracellular and extracellular glycerol determined and compared to control strains and conditions. Many of the strains showed reduced, or even elevated in one case, glycerol levels compared to wild-type strains. No correlation could be made between these glycerol levels and the activity of the rate-limiting enzyme, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) determined in an independent study. Transcription of the GPDH gene is under the control of the HOG pathway. In a separate study, the nucleotide sequence of a short region of yeast chromosome VII was determined. Approximately 11,000 bases of DNA from the right sub-telomeric region was sequenced. Analysis of the DNA sequence showed four potential open reading frames. One of these encoded the YORl gene and another a protein related to PAU1 The remaining two ORFs, termed ORFl and ORF2, encoded potential proteins of unknown function. Disruption cassettes containing the LEU2 selectable marker were constructed for both ORFl and ORF2. Successful disruption of ORFl was achieved, but no viable transformants were ever recovered after attempted disruption of 0RF2..ORFl gene knockouts are viable and show no observable phenotype under a range of growth conditions. Subsequent analysis of ORFl and 0RF2 after the completion of the Yeast Genome Project, shows that both ORFl and 0RF2 are members of different sub- telomeric associated gene families. 0RF2 encodes a putative Y' protein
