Yy Karai: fortalecimento e celebração de nomes mbya guarani
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2025.Esta dissertação de mestrado pesquisa o Yy Karai que é um dos rituais de nomeação mais preservados e sagrados na cultura guarani. Ele se insere dentro do conceito Nhemongarai que nomeia vários rituais que podem ter celebração de nome: Yy Karai, Mbojape'i Nhemongarai e Ka?a?i Nhemongarai. Estes rituais são a mais forte cerimônia que temos na nossa devoção cultural, o que mais fortalece o nosso espírito e a nossa vida. São os mais praticados nas aldeias e devem ser sempre preservados para não serem esquecidos. Estes rituais são a maior celebração de nome que nós temos na nossa cultura. Através dos rituais a gente recebe o nome verdadeiro, tery ete, e ouve as palavras sagradas ayvu maraey dos anciões e sábios xeramoi kuery e assim a gente pode ouvir, conhecer, se fortalecer. Através dos nomes vivemos e buscamos o nosso conhecimento, os nossos saberes, por meio dos mais velhos. Esta pesquisa faz parte da minha vida, da minha trajetória, sendo um caminho de busca de conhecimento. Cada um tem um jeito de traduzir e forma de expressar sentimento, cada um tem conhecimento diferente, o sentido é o mesmo, o modo de contar é diferente. Com cada tradução, com cada reflexão, com cada conhecimento, vai complementando e fortalecendo.Abstract: Kova'e kuaxia re ma ambopara yy karai regua.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes and Signaling Pathways between XY and YY Testis in Yellow Catfish.
No full textYY super-males have rarely been detected in nature and only been artificially created in some fish species including tilapia and yellow catfish (Pelteobagrusfulvidraco), which provides a promising model for testis development and spermatogenesis. In our previous study, significant differences in morphology and miRNA expression were detected between XY and YY testis of yellow catfish. Here, solexa sequencing technology was further performed to compare mRNA expression between XY and YY testis. Compared with unigenes expressed in XY testis, 1146 and 1235 unigenes have significantly higher and lower expression in YY testis, respectively. 605 differentially expressed unigenes were annotated to 1604 GO terms with 319 and 286 genes having relative higher expression in XY and YY testis. KEGG analysis suggested different levels of PI3K-AKT and G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways between XY and YY testis. Down-regulation of miR-141/429 in YY testis was speculated to promote testis development and maturation, and several factors in PI3K-AKT and GPCR signaling pathways were found as predicted targets of miR-141/429, several of which were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assays. Our study provides a comparative transcriptome analysis between XY and YY testis, and reveals interactions between miRNAs and their target genes that are possibly involved in regulating testis development and spermatogenesis
Mean field equations on tori: existence and uniqueness of evenly symmetric blow-up solutions
No full textWe are concerned with the blow-up analysis of mean field equations. It has been proven in [6] that solutions blowing-up at the same non-degenerate blow-up set are unique. On the other hand, the authors in [18] show that solutions with a degenerate blow-up set are in general non-unique. In this paper we first prove that evenly symmetric solutions on an arbitrary flat torus with a degenerate two-point blow-up set are unique. In the second part of the paper we complete the analysis by proving the existence of such blow-up solutions using a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method. Moreover, we deduce that all evenly symmetric blow-up solutions come from one-point blow-up solutions of the mean field equation on a “half” torus

Study of nozzle and vent locations on die casting filling process
No full textThe casting nozzle location plays an important role in die casting. Improper location results in defects, such as cold shut, air cavity, shrinkage, etc. Therefore, it’s sure that the molten metal full fills the mould cavity before it solidifies. And, it’s to be wished that no vortex occur during the filling process, because the vortex is a main source that induces gas entrapment. To get the high quality and performance product, the inlet and outlet locations must be set properly. This paper, an optimal design problem of nozzle and vent locations, which is constrained by nonlinear partial differential equations and boundary and initial conditions, is introduced to describe the location selection on die casting filling process. By numerical simulation, one can compare the filling time, flow pattern and temperature field at different inlet and outlet locations, then choose the most proper locations

The Dunhuang Ci-poem Yuan Chun Gui written on the back of the scroll P. 2748 was firstly discovered by Prof. Jao Tsung-i in the 1960s-1970s, who gave no clear periodization to the piece yet dated Si Yue Ren, another Ci-poem inscribed on the scroll to 923AD. Since then, little attention has paid to the Ci-poem except that Mr. Ren Ban-tang’s strong criticism against Prof. Jao’s periodization of the two Ci-poems. This article is therefore to have a comprehensive restudy of the Ci-poem Yuan Chun Gui starting from a crack found on the scroll, which leads to the conclusion that Prof. Jao rather than Mr. Ren is right. The text is then re-investigated with textual criticism approach and metrical studies. A new commentary annotation to the Ci-poem is also provided
Evaluation of management factors affecting the relative success of a Brook Trout eradication program using YY male fish and electrofishing suppression
No full textRemoval of non-native fish populations can be crucial to the conservation of native species, but often presents a complex challenge for managers. The goal of Trojan Y chromosome (TYC) programs is to skew the non-native sex ratio until only males remain, leading to eradication. We present results from a simulation model used to explore effects of alternative management approaches on an in-progress mechanical removal and TYC program to eradicate non-native Brook Trout. Simulation results indicated that stocking fingerling YY males (~137 mm) was more effective than stocking catchable-sized YY males (~230 mm), although questions about inter-cohort competition warrant further investigation. Increasing the proportion of mature fingerling YY males reduced treatment time by increasing the number of YY male spawners and increasing density-dependent mortality on young, mature wild Brook Trout. Maximizing the spatial distribution of YY male releases may be crucial to program success but is also dependent upon immediate dispersal movements. Principles derived from our results can be broadly applied to the management of other aquatic invaded systems using TYC programs to eradicate non-native species.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

Wheat gluten hydrolysate potently stimulates peptide-YY secretion and suppresses food intake in rats
No full textThe study was aimed to compare the satiating effect of various protein hydrolysates in rats and examine the underlying mechanism associated with the satiety hormones. Food intake and portal satiety hormone levels were measured in rats. Enteroendocrine cell-lines were employed to study the direct effect of protein hydrolysates on gut hormone secretions. The results showed that oral preload of wheat gluten hydrolysate (WGH) suppressed food intake greater and longer than other hydrolysates. The portal peptide-YY levels in WGH-treated rats at 2 h and 3 h were higher than those in control- and lactalbumin hydrolysate (LAH)-treated rats. In a distal enteroendocrine cell model, WGH more potently stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion than LAH, and the effect was largely enhanced by pepsin/pancreatin digestion of WGH. These results suggest WGH is potent in activating enteroendocrine cells to release satiety hormones leading to the prolonged suppression of food intake
