Chimpanzee faces under the magnifying glass: emerging methods reveal cross-species similarities and individuality
No full textIndependently, we created descriptive systems to characterize chimpanzee facial behavior, responding to a common need to have an objective, standardized coding system to ask questions about primate facial behaviors. Even with slightly different systems, we arrive at similar outcomes, with convergent conclusions about chimpanzee facial mobility. This convergence is a validation of the importance of the approach, and provides support for the future use of a facial action coding system for chimpanzees,ChimpFACS. Chimpanzees share many facial behaviors with those of humans. Therefore, processes and mechanisms that explain individual differences in facial activity can be compared with the use of a standardized systems such asChimpFACSandFACS. In this chapter we describe our independent methodological approaches, comparing how we arrived at our facial coding categories. We present some Action Descriptors (ADs) from Gaspar’s initial studies, especially focusing on an ethogram of chimpanzee and bonobo facial behavior, based on studies conducted between 1997 and 2004 at three chimpanzee colonies (The Detroit Zoo; Cleveland Metroparks Zoo; and Burger’s Zoo) and two bonobo colonies (The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium; The Milwaukee County Zoo). We discuss the potential significance of arising issues, the minor qualitative species differences that were found, and the larger quantitative differences in particular facial behaviors observed between species, e.g., bonobos expressed more movements containing particular action units (Brow Lowerer, Lip Raiser, Lip Corner Puller) compared with chimpanzees. The substantial interindividual variation in facial behavior within each species was most striking. Considering individual differences and the impact of development, we highlight the flexibility in facial activity of chimpanzees. We discuss the meaning of facial behaviors in nonhuman primates, addressing specifically individual attributes of Social Attraction, facial expressivity, and the connection of facial behavior to emotion. We do not rule out the communicative function of facial behavior, in which case an individual’s properties of facial behavior are seen as influencing his or her social life, but provide strong arguments in support of the role of facial behavior in the expression of internal states

Caracterização dos movimentos gravitacionais de massa por técnicas mineralógicas no bairro Belchior Baixo, Gaspar (SC)
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia, Florianópolis, 2013.Nos últimos meses do ano de 2008 o estado de Santa Catarina vivenciou uma série de fenômenos meteorológicos intensos que causaram enchentes e deslizamentos. A área estudada se localiza no município de Gaspar, Vale do Itajaí - SC, região mais atingida pelos eventos adversos. A localidade foi afetada por movimentos gravitacionais de massa que ocasionaram a destruição de residências, gerando danos materiais e humanos. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi responder sobre a relação existente entre o substrato rochoso com os movimentos de massa ocorridos na encosta e com o comportamento do material deslizado. Além disso, havia questões relacionadas com a segurança de outro setor da mesma encosta.A metodologia do trabalho consistiu na coleta de amostras de solo e na realização de ensaios de Difração de Raios X(DRX) e Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV). As análises tiveram como finalidade caracterizar a composição mineralógica e textural do material deslizado, visando compreender o seu comportamento extremamente plástico preservado por meses em locais soterrados. Para examinar a possível existência de estruturas que favoreceram a ruptura e determinar a espessura dos solos residuais da encosta estudada foi realizado um perfil geofísico de eletrorresistividade. Os resultados obtidos pelas análises de DRX e de MEV corroboraram com as observações feitas sobre o comportamento do material deslizado e das características geológico-geomorfológicas da área de estudo. A presente pesquisa pretende subsidiar futuros projetos destinados à urbanização, políticas de ocupação do solo, desenvolvimento de programas de redução de riscos de desastres e programas de prevenção e mitigação a áreas suscetíveis a movimentos gravitacionais de massa. Abstract : In the last months of 2008 the state of Santa Catarina has experienced a series of severe weather events that have caused flooding and landslides. The study area is located in the municipality of Gaspar, Vale do Itajai - SC, the region most affected by adverse events. The locality was affected by gravitational mass movements that caused the destruction of homes, causing property damage and human. The main objective of the research was to seek answers about the relationship between the bedrock and mass movements occurred on the slope and the slid material behavior. In addition, there were issues related to the safety of another sector of the same slope. The methodology of the work consisted of collecting soil samples and testing of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The analysis had as purpose to characterize the textural and mineralogical composition of the slid material in order to understand its behavior extremely plastic, which was preserved for months in buried places. To examine the possible existence of structures that favor the rupture and determine the thickness of residual soil on the slope under studies, a geophysical resistivity profile was carried out. The results obtained through XRD and SEM corroborated with the observations made on the behavior of the slid material, and the geological and geomorphological characteristics of the study area. This research aims to support future projects for urbanization, land use policies, development of programs to reduce disaster risk and prevention programs, and mitigation in areas susceptible to gravitational mass movements
Gaspar van Weerbeke
No full textIn memoriam Gerhard Croll (1927–2019) Gaspar van Weerbeke was one of the most successful Franco-Flemish musicians of the second half of the fifteenth century, holding prestigious positions in the Sforza court in Milan, the Burgundian court chapel, and the papal chapel in Rome. His compositions were widely transmitted in manuscript and print sources throughout Europe, and he was one of the best represented composers in the early Italian music prints of Ottaviano Petrucci. Despite the high esteem of his contemporaries, Gaspar has up to now played only a peripheral role in Renaissance music historiography. This book is the first collection of research articles dedicated exclusively to the life and works of Gaspar. While the basic facts of Gaspar’s life have long been known, the book fleshes out the details, presenting a more differentiated and complex picture of his biography. Analysis of a wide range of Gaspar’s compositional output leads to new interpretations of his approach to different genres: masses, motets, and motet cycles. His relatively small quantity of songs is revisited in light of the confusion—both then and now—over the meaning and validity of their attributions. This book seeks to promote further research on this composer and place him in his appropriate place in music history
