Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
Facteurs de risque associés au statut de troupeau positif à Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis
No full textLa paratuberculose (PTB) est une maladie entérique chronique, contagieuse et incurable qui affecte les ruminants et est causée par Mycobacterium avium ssp paratuberculosis (MAP). Les pertes économiques et l’association entre le MAP et la maladie de Crohn maintiennent un intérêt pour la paratuberculose. Les animaux s’infectent à un jeune âge, principalement par la voie féco-orale. Après une longue période d’incubation (jusqu'à plusieurs années), les vaches débutent l’excrétion fécale de MAP en absence de signes cliniques, perpétuant ainsi l’infection dans le troupeau. Les pratiques de gestion qui limitent l’exposition aux matières fécales contenant le MAP des animaux susceptibles sont plus efficaces pour réduire la prévalence que la simple élimination des animaux positifs. Les objectifs de ce mémoire sont : 1) Examiner et résumer de façon critique la littérature scientifique disponible sur les pratiques de gestion (mesurées à l'aide d'un questionnaire d’analyse de risque) associées au statut du troupeau pour MAP, et 2) identifier l'association entre les pratiques de gestion utilisées et le statut du troupeau pour MAP (déterminé à l'aide de culture bactériologique d'échantillons environnementaux) dans les troupeaux laitiers du Québec.
Pour le premier objectif, une revue globale de la littérature a été réalisée. Nous avons inclus des études qui ont évalué les facteurs de risque de PTB en utilisant un questionnaire d'analyse de risque (QAR) et mesuré l'association entre les facteurs de risque et le statut du troupeau pour MAP. Pour le deuxième objectif, une étude cas-témoins a été conçue. Un total de 26 troupeaux où MAP a été isolé d'au moins 1 échantillon environnemental et 91 troupeaux témoins (aucun cas clinique de paratuberculose et négatifs lors de 2 prélèvements environnementaux annuels consécutifs) ont été sélectionnés. Une régression logistique multivariée a été utilisée pour évaluer l'association entre les facteurs de risque sélectionnés et le statut du troupeau pour MAP.
En tout, 21 études transversales, 5 études cas-témoins et 3 études longitudinales répondaient aux critères d'inclusion. La taille du troupeau était significativement associée à un statut de troupeau positif à MAP dans 12 (dont 4 avec faible risque de biais (RB)) sur 18, l'introduction de nouveaux animaux était significativement associée à un statut de troupeau positif à MAP dans 10 (dont 4 avec faible RB) sur 24 études, l'histoire de PTB était significativement associée à un statut de troupeau positif à MAP dans 6 (dont 4 à faible RB) sur 13, et la gestion du colostrum et du lait était significativement associée à un statut de troupeau positif à MAP dans 5 (aucun à faible RB) sur 18. Dans les troupeaux laitiers du Québec la taille du troupeau (OR = 1,17; IC à 95%: 1,02-1,33) et la proportion de vaches achetées par année au cours des 5 dernières années (OR = 5,44 IC à 95%: 1,23-23,98) étaient significativement associées à un statut de troupeau MAP positif.
Les résultats de ce mémoire fournissent une grande compilation des informations disponibles sur les facteurs de risque associés au statut du troupeau pour MAP et évalués à l'aide d'un QAR. Certains facteurs de risque sont apparemment plus consistants d'une étude à l'autre. Cependant, les résultats doivent être interprétés à la lumière de la qualité et du risque de biais de chaque étude. Les pratiques de gestion visant à empêcher l'introduction de nouveaux animaux dans le troupeau et à réduire le contact des veaux nouveau-nés avec les animaux adultes ou leurs excréments sont des éléments clés pour minimiser l'introduction et la transmission du MAP dans un troupeau. Ces éléments devraient être priorisés dans les programmes de contrôle.Paratuberculosis is a chronic and contagious enteric disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Control of paratuberculosis is justified given the associated economic losses and the potential role of MAP in Crohn’s disease in humans. Cattle usually become infected at a young age, primarily by the fecal-oral route. After a long incubation period (up to several years), infected cows may start shedding MAP without showing clinical signs, thus perpetuating MAP infections on the farm. Management procedures that limit exposure of susceptible animals to MAP are more effective at reducing disease prevalence than simply testing and culling MAP infected cows. Any management practices that expose (directly or indirectly) susceptible animals to fecal material from MAP shedders can be considered a risk factor for infection. The objectives of this master’s thesis are: 1) critically review the available scientific literature that evaluates the association between management practices (measured by a risk assessment questionnaire (RAQ)) and MAP herd status, et 2) identify the association between management practices and MAP herd status (determined using bacteriological culture of environmental samples) of dairy herds in Québec, Canada.
A systematic review was performed to answer the first objective. We included studies that assessed PTB risk factors using a RAQ and measured the association between risks factors and MAP herd status. For the second objective, a case-control study was designed. A total of 26 case herds in which MAP had been isolated from at least 1 environmental sample in each herd and 91 control herds (no clinical cases of paratuberculosis and negative on 2 consecutive yearly environmental samplings) were selected. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between selected risk factors and MAP herd status.
Twenty-one cross-sectional, 5 case control and 3 longitudinal studies met the inclusion criteria. Herd size was significantly associated with MAP herd status in 12 (4 with low RoB) out of 18 studies, introduction of new animals was significantly associated with MAP herd status in 10 (4 with low RoB) out of 24, history of PTB was significantly associated with MAP herd status in 6 (4 with low RoB) out of 13, and management of colostrum and milk were significantly associated with MAP herd status in 5 (none with low RoB) out of 18. For Québec dairy herds, herd size (OR=1.17; 95% CI: 1.02-1.33) and proportion of cows purchased per year in the last 5 years (OR=5.44; 95% CI: 1.23-23.98) were significantly associated with a positive MAP herd status.
The results of this master’s thesis provide a large compilation of available information about risk factors associated with MAP herd status evaluated using a RAQ. Some risk factors are apparently more consistent across studies. However, results should be interpreted in the light of the quality and risk of bias of each study. Management practices aiming to prevent the introduction of new animals into the herd and to reduce the contact of newborn calves with adult animals or their feces are key elements to minimize MAP introduction and transmission into a herd. These elements should be prioritized in control programs

Isto é contra a natureza? Decisões e discursos sobre conjugalidades homoeróticas em tribunais brasileiros
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação Interdisciplinar em Ciências Humanas, Florianópolis, 2009Partindo de dados encontrados em pesquisa de campo realizada em quatro Tribunais de Justiça brasileiros, e com o fundamento teórico dos estudos de gênero e antropologia do parentesco, analiso as posições jurídicas e políticas sobre casamento e família, identificadas pela leitura de 185 acórdãos judiciais e interlocução com 25 desembargadores acerca do tema das uniões entre pessoas do mesmo sexo. Considerando as transversalidades entre os discursos jurídicos e as convicções morais e políticas de seus/suas autores/as, a análise aponta, entre outras questões, a forte influência destes fatores sobre a tomada de decisões judiciais relativas ao acesso a direitos sexuais e possíveis implicações na (re) produção de subjetividades marginais ao acesso aos direitos de família. A análise dos discursos de documentos e de entrevistas com desembargadores sobre o enquadramento das conjugalidades homoeróticas ora no conceito de sociedade de fato ora no de união estável demonstra que a tendência jurisprudencial acentua as disputas políticas sobre a interpretação jurisprudencial, concretizadas nas distintas posições assumidas pelos relatores dos tribunais em estudo, e que se materializam basicamente na controvérsia quanto à necessidade de existência de lei específica para tomada de decisão e/ou interpretação da constituição federal como tarefas impostas aos juízes da atualidade para a resolução dos conflitos postos pela demanda de reconhecimento e de redistribuição de direitos. Os resultados apontam ainda para uma tendência que pode ser considerada mais "positiva" do que "negativa" dos tribunais em estudo, se a discussão for relativizada de um ponto de vista da partilha de bens, central nas disputas judiciais. Por outro lado, a maioria dos relatores mantêm o conceito de família num lugar "naturalizado", seja pelas convicções expressas em entrevistas e acórdãos acerca da conversão em matrimônio civil prevista como conseqüência deste enquadramento, seja pela consideração que se faz acerca do valor patrimonial ou não do trabalho doméstico nas relações entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, ou mesmo sobre a posição das crianças junto ao casal de gays ou de lésbicas, gerando conseqüências que por outro lado são reconhecidas como variáveis e instáveis para a vida dos sujeitos que litigam sob o vazio da lei. From data found on field research conducted in four Brazilian Courts of Justice, and the basis of theoretical studies of gender and anthropology of kinship, I analyze the legal positions and policies on marriage and family, identified by the reading of 185 judicial rulings and interlocution with 25 magistrates about the issue of unions between persons of the same sex. Considering the cross between the words legal and moral and political beliefs of his / her author / as the analysis shows, among other issues, the strong influence of these factors on judicial decision-making on access to sexual rights and possible implications for (re) production of subjectivities marginal access rights of the family. The analysis of speeches of documents and interviews with magistrates on the environment of conjugality homoerotic moment in the concept of society in fact now in the stable case law shows that the trend highlights the political disputes on the case-law, implemented in different positions taken by the rapporteurs the courts under study, which is basically materialized in dispute as to the need of specific law in making decisions and / or interpretation of the federal constitution as tasks imposed on judges of today to resolve the conflict posed by the demand for recognition and redistribution of rights. The results also point to a trend that can be considered more "positive" than "negative" study in the courts if the thread is relativised from a sharing of property, central in judicial disputes. Moreover, most of the rapporteurs retains the concept of family in a place "naturalized" is the belief expressed in interviews and judgments about the conversion to civil marriage planned as a result of this framework is the consideration that is about the value or non-domestic work in the relations between persons of the same sex, or even the position of the couple with children of gays and lesbians, creating consequences that the other variables are known to be unstable and subject to the life of that audience in the vacuum of law
Buenas prácticas de gestión ambiental de las empresas de alojamiento turístico: una herramienta clave para la competitividad de los destinos de playa.
No full textDebido a una constante sensibilidad ambiental y conciencia ecológica de la opinión pública, la
protección ambiental constituye uno de los objetivos prioritarios de la sociedad actual, en la cual las actividades relacionadas con el turismo están adquiriendo gran relevancia. En este sentido, son cada vez más los turistas que optan por elegir destinos y empresas turísticas que demuestren un comportamiento responsable con el medioambiente y que posean distintivos de calidad ambiental. La actividad turística ha pasado en los últimos años por una serie de cambios, dado que la demanda actual le ha hecho replantear una serie de aspectos relacionados a la oferta, distribución y, sobre todo, a la manera de ver el futuro. En este sentido, la evolución de esta actividad, apunta hacia un turismo más sensible, a través de un desarrollo sostenible, que da cuenta de una actitud armoniosa con el medioambiente. Así, la industria del turismo es consciente de que los esfuerzos del sector, deben estar orientados al desarrollo de un “Turismo Responsable”, a través de la introducción de diversas prácticas de gestión ambiental tendientes a aumentar la eficiencia en la utilización de los recursos y disminuir los efectos negativos sobre el entorno, para conservar la calidad ambiental de los atractivos turísticos que los destinos brindan. Dentro de la actividad turística, la industria hotelera constituye uno de los elementos clave, dado que para la prestación de cada uno de los servicios que los alojamientos turísticos ofrecen, como el descanso, la alimentación, el aseo y la recreación, se emplean recursos naturales y se generan residuos que pueden ocasionar problemas ambientales con diferentes niveles de complejidad. […] Puerto Madryn posee atractivos con un gran potencial natural, capaces de tornar al destino competitivo frente a otros destinos de playa, destacando el turismo de naturaleza, ecológico y de bajo impacto, haciendo mención a su slogan “naturaleza muy cerca”. Sin embargo, debido al constante crecimiento físico y demográfico y un notable incremento de la oferta y demanda turística, se evidencia cierto grado de contaminación ambiental, manifestada en el exceso de algas en la costa, la contaminación del recurso agua producto de residuos cloacales y desechos de buques pesqueros depositados al mar, la presencia de basurales abiertos, los cuales atentan contra la integridad de la biodiversidad, la salud de las personas y la calidad paisajística del lugar. Partiendo del problema real en que actualmente atraviesa el destino, se pretende hacer énfasis en la manera que las empresas de alojamiento turístico llevan a cabo la gestión ambiental, teniendo en cuenta que sus prácticas operativas diarias demandan un gran consumo de energía eléctrica y agua potable, y generan cantidades relevantes de residuos.Fil: Parada, Heidy Dalila.

Distribution. Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay (Alto Paraná: Puerto Bertoni), Peru. Comments. Bezzi (1922: 120) reported Chiromyza vittata fuscana Wiedemann, 1821 from Puerto Bertoni, Alto Paraná, Paraguay, although he considered the species a variety of Chiromyza vittata Wiedemann, 1820. In his same paper, he reported C. vittata ochracea Wiedemann, 1820 (species above) from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and described a new variety: C. vittata viridis Bezzi, 1922. Although he considered them all varieties of C. vittata, C. ochracea and C. viridis are currently valid and separated species from C. vittata, but C. fuscana is a synonym of C. ochracea (see James 1973a: 26.2; Woodley 2001: 47–48). Given that, the record presented by Bezzi (1922) for C. vittata fuscana from Paraguay should be assigned to C. ochracea, which then represents the second species of the genus in the country. The information on the number of specimens in the type series of C. ochracea, that was not given in the original description and stated as “ syntype ♂ ” in Woodley (2001: 47), should be now read as “ two male syntypes ”, of which images of the specimens and labels are given in Pujol-Luz (2020).Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar, Zichinelli, Marcela Maria Parada & Barrett, Bolívar Rafael Garcete, 2022, An illustrated checklist of Stratiomyidae (Diptera: Brachycera) from Paraguay with three new synonyms and 22 new records of species for the country, pp. 1-55 in Zootaxa 5190 (1) on page 12, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5190.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/711990

Comments. Differently from typical males and females of H. mutabilis (Fabricius, 1787), in which the abdominal tergites 4–5 are entirely yellow or nearly so (according to James 1934: 443) and the abdominal tergites 1–3 are completely black, this species has also a yellow transverse band posteriorly on tergite 3 in females, which can be interrupted medially (see, for example, a female in: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/67455941) or not (Fig. 96), and in males, as well, there are yellow posterior bands on tergites 2–3, which are usually narrow (Figs 95 and 103), but in two males (in one from Alto Paraguay, Parque Nacional Defensores del Chaco and in one from San Pedro, Puerto Ybapobó), the pair of posterior bands extend towards the anterior margin (Figs 104–105). James & McFadden (1979: 12) mentioned that, rarely, some specimens of H. mutabilis from southern Brazil and Argentina could have narrow posterior bands, also interrupted medially, on tergite 3. As the Hoplitimyia species have not been revised and the specimens were not dissected, we are not sure if these specimens correspond to a range of color variation of H. mutabilis or should be part of a distinct species, maybe H. subalba (Walker, 1854), which is known by having, at least in males, a pair of yellow narrow posterior bands on tergites 2-3 (James & McFadden 1979: 11, as Stratiomys fasciata Fabricius, 1787). At least two other species of the genus occur in the southern portion of the continent (Woodley 2001: 266) for which we have not seen the type specimens or additional pictures, so we are keeping this species as morphospecies until the intraspecific variation among the species can be better understood.Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar, Zichinelli, Marcela Maria Parada & Barrett, Bolívar Rafael Garcete, 2022, An illustrated checklist of Stratiomyidae (Diptera: Brachycera) from Paraguay with three new synonyms and 22 new records of species for the country, pp. 1-55 in Zootaxa 5190 (1) on page 32, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5190.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/711990

Detective fiction in Cuban society and culture.
No full textPhDThe object of this thesis is to reach towards an understanding of Cuban society through a
study of its detective fiction and more particularly contemporary Cuban society through
the novels of the author and critic, Leonardo Padura Fuentes.
The method has been to trace the development of Cuban detective writing and to
read Padura Fuentes in the light of the work of twentieth century Western European
literary critics and philosophers including Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, Terry
Eagleton, Roland Barthes, Jean Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Jean François Lyotard and
Jean Baudrillard in order to gain a better understanding of the social and historical
context from which this genre emerged.
By concentrating on the literary texts, I have explored readings which lead out into
an analysis of the broader philosophical, political and historical issues raised by the
Cuban revolution. Since it deals primarily with modes of deviance and notions of legality
and justice within the context of the modern state, detective fiction is particularly well
suited to this type of investigation. The intention is to show how this is as valid in the
Cuban context as it is in advanced capitalist societies where such research has already
been carried out with some success.
The thesis comprises an introduction, ten chapters and a conclusion. The chapters
are divided into three sections. Chapters 1 to 3 attempt a broad theoretical, historical and
socio-political analysis of the cultural reality within which the Cuban revolutionary
detective genre emerged. Chapters 4 to 6 analyse the Cuban detective narrative from its
inception in the early part of the twentieth century until the emergence of Leonardo
Padura Fuentes as the foremost exponent of the genre in Cuba after 1991. Chapters 7-
10 concentrate upon the work of Leonardo Padura Fuentes, offering a reading of his
detective tetralogy informed by the preceding discussion.
The contribution made by the thesis to knowledge of the subject is to build upon the
work of Seymour Menton and Amelia S. Simpson on the development of the Cuban
detective novel and to provide analyses of the pre-Revolutionary Cuban detective
narrative and the work of Leonardo Padura Fuentes for the first time in the English
language. The thesis concludes that the study of this popular genre in Cuba is of crucial
importance to the scholar who wishes to reach as full an understanding of the social
dynamics within that society as possible. In particular, it proves that Cuban detective
fiction provides a useful barometer of social change which records the shifts in the Cuban
Zeitgeist that have taken place over the past century
