Ecoturismo Recanto dona Elvira, Curitibanos - SC
No full textProjeto acadêmico (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Campus Curitibanos. Ciências Rurais.O Ecoturismo vem crescendo desde a década de 70, tendo seu impulso dado final da década de 80. Desde então se pensa muito ecológicamente e em qualidade de vida, aumentando a demanda por esses serviços. Em Santa Catarina o campo de ecoturismo, turismo rural e até mesmo agroturismo têm vasto campo e belas extremamente exuberantes. No município de Curitibanos /SC não têm um campo ecológico para visitação, porém existe uma propriedade privada denominada Recanto Dona Elvira que poderia ser um forte atrativo no município e na região. A proposta deste trabalho é casar a ideia inicial dessa propriedade com ecoturismo, tornando-o mais ecológico possível, bem como o adequando às normas/legislações ambientais. Espera-se que seja possível a implantação deste projeto, pois com certeza será bastante rentável, atrativo e principalmente muito importante para conservação dos recursos naturais que nosso país possu

Functional renormalization with fermions and tetrads
No full textWe investigate some aspects of the renormalization group flow of gravity in
the presence of fermions, which have remained somewhat puzzling so far. The
first is the sign of the fermionic contribution to the running of Newton's
constant, which depends on details of the cutoff. We argue that only one of the
previously used schemes correctly implements the cutoff on eigenvalues of the
Dirac operator, and it acts in the sense of screening Newton's constant. We
also show that K\"ahler fermions give the same contribution to the running of
the cosmological and Newton constant as four Dirac spinors. We then calculate
the graviton contributions to the beta functions by imposing the cutoffs on the
irreducible spin components of the tetrad. In this way we can probe the gauge
dependence of the off-shell flow. The results resemble closely those of the
metric formalism, except for an increased scheme-- and (off shell)
gauge--dependence.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figure
A prática do coronelismo em São João da Ponte (MG), no período de 1946-1996
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas.Este trabalho objetiva analisar o coronelismo como prática política atual e, para tanto, estabeleceu-se um recorte específico. Estuda-se a prática do coronelismo em São João da Ponte e se examina uma de suas características secundárias: o mandonismo de Dona Lulu , no período de 1946 a 1996. A maioria dos autores abordou tal fenômeno nas décadas de 50 a 80, indicando o declínio do coronelismo. A relevância desse estudo é comprovar que o coronelismo é uma prática atual. Pretende-se, também, estimular o conhecimento da prática política naquele município e levar a uma reflexão do fenômeno. Simão da Costa Campos, Olímpio da Costa Campos e Dona Lulu foram os representantes do coronelismo naquele município. A legitimidade do poder desses coronéis baseou-se em dois tipos de dominações weberianas: o poder dos dois primeiros fundamentou-se na tradição, já o poder de Dona Lulu, no carisma. A prática política no município passou por um viés maquiavélico. Como fatores preponderantes para a sobrevivência do coronelismo em São João da Ponte, apontam-se a debilidade financeira do município e a pobreza da população
PERIPHERAL-NERVE LESIONS CAUSE SIMULTANEOUS ALTERATIONS OF SUBSTANCE-P AND ENKEPHALIN LEVELS IN THE SPINAL-CORD
No full textThe substance P and Met-enkephalin content were measured in the rat lumbar spinal cord after monolateral section of the sciatic nerve. The proximal stump of the lesioned nerve was either ligated, limiting the formation of neuroma, or sutured intraperitoneally, allowing the formation of a very large neuroma. Both types of lesion caused a similar peptide loss. Substance P and Met-enkephalin decreased by about 50% 10 days following the lesion. Such a loss was maintained even 30 days postoperatively and was not affected by the neuroma size. Immunohistochemical stainings showed that the loss of both peptides occurred in laminae I and II of the dorsal horn. It is suggested that pain sensation developing after peripheral nerve lesion may be due to the intraspinal loss of enkephalin rather than to the neuroma formation

Asymptotic safety in an interacting system of gravity and scalar matter
No full textAsymptotic safety is an attractive scenario for the dynamics of quantum spacetime. Here, we work from a phenomenologically motivated point of view and emphasize that a viable dynamics for quantum gravity in our Universe must account for the existence of matter. In particular, we explore the scale dependence of a scalar matter-gravity vertex, and investigate whether an interacting fixed point exists for the so-defined Newton coupling. We find a viable fixed point in the pure-gravity system, disregarding scalar quantum fluctuations. We explore its extensions to the case with dynamical scalars, and find indications of asymptotic safety in the matter-gravity system. We moreover examine the anomalous dimensions for different components of the metric fluctuations, and find significant differences between the transverse traceless and scalar component. © 2016 American Physical Society
Effects of a supervised exercise training in the management of women with gestational diabetes: preliminary results from a randomized controlled trial
No full textBackground. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is becoming increasingly common and it is associated with a number of metabolic and cardiovascular alterations. To date, only a few, small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the effects of aerobic exercise training on maternal glyco-metabolic control and perinatal outcomes in women with GDM. Therefore, it remains still unclear whether these vascular and metabolic alterations may be reversed by regular exercise. In this study we aimed at investigating the effects of low-intensity aerobic exercise on the glycometabolic and cardiovascular outcomes in women with GDM. Subjects and Methods. 20 women with GDM were recruited in the GDM-FIT Study, a RCT (Clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT03067662) to be randomly assigned between 18th-28th gestational week to structured aerobic exercise intervention (n=10) or standard care (n=10). Women in the control group received diet and physical exercise recommendations. Women in the intervention group received standard diet counseling and performed 40 minutes low intensity aerobic exercise three times per week at 30% heart rate reserve. Both groups underwent structured medical interview and psychological assessment in two separate occasions, at study entry and between 35th-37th gestational week, together with clinical and anthropometric measures. Weekly energy and carotid-to-femoral (CF) and radial (CR) pulse wave velocity (PWV) were also measured. Blood samples were stored for the determination of circulating pro-inflammatory metabolites and miRNA. In addition, a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system was applied to measure capillary blood glucose levels at 5-min timed intervals over 5 days at 32th-34th gestational week. Glucose variability measures and time spent in hypo- or hyperglycemia were also calculated. Results. Age, body-mass index (BMI) and HbA1c were similar between the two groups at study entry (standard care vs. exercise group, mean±SE): age (years) 34.5±1.4 vs. 34.3±0.9, BMI (kg/m2) 29.8±1.9 vs. 30±0.8, HbA1c (mmol/mol) 35±1.42 vs. 33.8±0.8, as well as in terms of CR-PWV (m/sec; 7.49±0.66 vs. 9.5±1.1) and CF-PWV (m/sec; 5.57±0.83 vs. 5.56±0.96). The metabolic parameters were similar between groups at 35th-37th gestational week. However, 4 women in the intervention group vs. 8 in the control group required insulin to reach the glycemic targets for pregnancy. Compared to the control group, women assigned to the exercise intervention showed a significant increase in weekly energy expenditure and a reduction in delta CR-PWV (1.4±0.74 vs. -2.2±1.4 m/sec). As compared to the corresponding non-exercise day, the CGM readings in the exercise group showed a significant decline of glucose levels during physical activity sessions, particularly after 30 minutes of exercise (P<0.05) up to 180 min after completion of exercise (P<0.005). With regard to the nocturnal and 24-h mean blood glucose levels, as well as time spent in hypo-/hyperglycemia and 24-h glucose variability, no significant differences were observed between the exercise vs. non-exercise days. Notably, as compared to the standard care arm, significantly lower 24-h mean blood glucose levels were observed during exercise days in the intervention group (P<0.05). Conclusions. These preliminary data indicate that a structured program of low-intensity aerobic exercise may have favorable effects on blood glucose and arterial stiffness in women with gestational diabetes
