Study about the genetic polymorphism of the αS1 - casein and ĸ - casein in goats from the Brazilian Northeast Semi Arid
No full textA caprinocultura pela expressão sócio-econômica que representa para a população da região Nordeste, tem a necessidade da implantação de biotecnologias com a finalidade de melhorar a produtividade dos seus rebanhos. O estudo do polimorfismo genético do leite de animais criados nas condições zoosanitária e de bioclimatologia dessa região permitirá uma melhor correlação com as raças de produção e o conhecimento da composição do leite de cabras de diferentes raças. Objetivando realizar a genotipagem de cabras da raça Moxotó e Sem Raça Definida (SRD) provenientes do Semi Árido do Nordeste brasileiro(Pernambuco, Paraíba, Ceará e Rio Grande do Norte), por meio da técnica de PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Lenght Polymorfism), estudou-se o polimorfismo dos genes da αS1-caseína e ĸ-caseína. Foram colhidas amostras de sangue total, de caprinos adultos da raça Moxotóe SRD, do sexo feminino, sadios, criados de maneira extensiva; a extração do DNA leucocitário foi realizada por meio do protocolo de clorofórmio e fenol e os genes foram amplificados pela técnica de PCR com primers específicos para cada caseína. Em seguida foram utilizadas as enzimas XmnI (αS1-caseína) e HaeIII (ĸ-caseína) para obter o padrão de fragmentos das raças estudadas. Para a αS1-caseína obteve-se dois padrões de bandas representando os alelos B e D, sendo que a maioria dos animais apresentou o genótipo BB, enquanto o D apareceu em menor número associado ao B (B/D). Entre os animais da raça Moxotó, a frequência alélica observada foi de 96,03% para o genótipo BB e 3,97% para o genótipo B/D. Em relação aos animais SRD, a freqüência observada foi de 88,77% e 11, 23% para os genótipos BB e B/D, respectivamente. Não foi observada diferença estatística entre as raças nem entre os Estados estudados. No caso da ĸ-caseína, apenas o alelo A foi encontrado, caracterizando o monomorfismo para todos os animais estudados. Os resultados do presente estudo demonstraram a proximidade genética entre a raça Moxotó e os animais SRD, e dos rebanhos existentes nos estados do Nordeste incluídos nesta pesquisa, caracterizando a origem similar destes animais. Diante da detecção da maior presença do alelo B (forte) do gene da αS1-caseína nos animais estudados, admite-se a possibilidade de que fenotipicamente esses animais venham a exibir a característica de uma forte produção de proteínas, característica importante para o leite destinado à produção de queijos, favorecendo a caprinocultura da região.The goat raising, by the socio-economic expression that it represents for the population of the Northeast region, has the necessity of biotechnology implantation in order to improve the productivity of its herd. The study of genetic polymorphism of the milk of the animals raised in zoosanitary bioclimatology conditions of this region will permit a better correlation with the breed for reproduction and the knowledge of the milk composition of goats of different breeds. Aiming at the genotyping of Moxotó goats breed and mixed-breed goats from the Semi-Arid of Brazilian Northeast (Pernambuco, Paraíba, Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte), by means of PCR-RFLP technique (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Lenght Polymorfism), it was studied the polymorphism of the αS1-casein and ĸ-casein genes. It was collected total blood samples from adult Moxotó and mixed-breed goats, female, healthy, raised extensively; the leucocytary DNA extraction was made through chloroform and phenol protocol and the genes were ampReaction) with specific primers for each casein. After that, it was used XmnI enzymes(αS1-casein) and HaeIII (ĸ-casein) to obtain the pattern of fragments representing the B and D allele, being the majority of the animals presenting the BB genotype, while the D one appeared in a smaller number, associated to B (B/D). Among the animals of Moxotó breed, the allelic frequency observed was 96,03% for the genotype BB and 3,97% for the genotype B/D. In relation to the mixed-breed animals, the frequency was 88,77% and 11,23% for the genotypes BB and B/D, respectively. It was not observed statistic difference between the breeds nor the studied States. In the case of ĸ-casein, only the allele A was found, characterizing the monomorphism for all the animals studied. Based in the results of the present study, it is demonstrated a genetic proximity between Moxotó and mixed-breed of the exiting herd in the states of the Northeast included in this research, characterizing a similar origin of these animals. Before the detection of a higher presence of the allele B (strong) of the αS1-casein gene in thelified using the PCR technique (Polymerase Chainanimals studied, it is acknowledged the possibility that phenotypically these animals come to show the characteristic of a strong protein production, an important one for the milk destined to cheese production, favoring the goat raising in the region
A Multiscale Method For Data Assimilation
No full textIn data assimilation problems, various types of data are naturally linked to different spatial resolutions (e.g. seismic and electromagnetic data), and these scales are usually not coincident to the subsurface simulation model scale. Alternatives like down/upscaling of the data and/or the simulation model can be used, but with potential loss of important information. To address this issue, a novel Multiscale (MS) data assimilation method is introduced. The overall idea of the method is to keep uncertain parameters and observed data at their original representation scale, avoiding down/upscaling of any quantity. The method relies on a recently developed mathematical framework to compute adjoint gradients via a MS strategy. The fine-scale uncertain parameters are directly updated and the MS grid is constructed in a resolution that meets the observed data resolution. The advantages of the technique are demonstrated in the assimilation of data represented at a coarser scale than the simulation model. The misfit objective function is constructed to keep the MS nature of the problem. The regularization term is represented at the simulation model (fine) scale, whereas the data misfit term is represented at the observed data (coarse) scale. The performance of the method is demonstrated in synthetic models and compared to down/upscaling strategies. The experiments show that the MS strategy provides advantages 1) on the computational side – expensive operations are only performed at the coarse scale; 2) with respect to accuracy – the matched uncertain parameter distribution is closer to the “truth”; and 3) in the optimization performance – faster convergence behaviour due to faster gradient computation. In conclusion, the newly developed method is capable of providing superior results when compared to strategies that rely on the up/downscaling of the response/observed data, addressing the scale dissimilarity via a robust, consistent MS strategy.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Reservoir EngineeringCivil Engineering & GeosciencesGeoscience and Engineerin
A assistência social à população em situação de rua: um estudo na cidade de Florianópolis/SC
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2015.O debate sobre a população em situação de rua (PSR) está presente no campo de ação das políticas públicas, porém poucas vezes se prioriza conhecer a percepção dessa população sobre os serviços que lhe são prestados e/ou garantidos. Este estudo objetivou compreender a percepção da PSR em Florianópolis acerca dos serviços de assistência social e verificar em que medida estes serviços correspondem ao que está previsto pelo Decreto nº 7.053/2009. Para desvelá-lo, realizou-se pesquisa qualitativa com levantamento bibliográfico acompanhada de pesquisa de campo tanto na rua, quanto nos espaços institucionais. Para critério de seleção da PSR entrevistada, priorizou-se a abordagem de maiores de 18 anos de ambos os sexos, acompanhados ou não pelo serviço municipal Centro de Referência ao seu atendimento, o Centro-Pop. Nos espaços institucionais profissionais dos serviços públicos municipais da assistência social (Centro Pop e Casas de Acolhimento/Abrigos); da saúde (Consultório na Rua e Centro de Atenção Psicossocial-CAPS); do Conselho Municipal de Assistência Social; assim como representantes de organizações não governamentais que atuavam com o atendimento a PSR foram ouvidos. As análises das respostas obtidas foram baseadas em sete categorias conceituais: status, estigma, fenômeno, rualização, pobreza, exclusão social e interdependência. Assim, verificou-se, sob a perspectiva da PSR, que estes não estão recebendo uma proteção social de forma integral; que há necessidade do investimento em ações que fortaleça a intersetorialidade da assistência social com as demais políticas públicas; que é importante valorizar o movimento de organização e participação política deste usuário; que as ações de intervenções com ele não asseguram relações interdependentes reificando a figuração de que indivíduo e sociedade são instâncias separadas. A partir disso, sugeriu-se uma metodologia de intervenção para com a PSR visando à construção de relações mais interdependentes entre eles e a sociedade.Abstract : The debate on the homeless population (HP) is present in the public policies field, but it seldom prioritizes know the perception of this specific group of people about the services that are provided and/or guaranteed for them. This study aimed to understand the perception of this population segment on the public service received by social assistance and if this service meets their needs as provided by Decree no. 7053 in Florianopolis. In order to reach this aim, a qualitative research was combined with both the field work on the street and in institutional space. For selection criteria of the HP interviewed, people over 18 years-old, both sexes, accompanied or not by the Reference Center - Centro-Pop, municipal service for their health care - were addressed. At the institutional space, professionals from the municipal public services of social assistance (Pop. Center and Refuge / Homeless Shelters); health workers (Office on the street and Psychosocial Care Center); the Municipal Council of Social Assistance; as well as representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who have been working with homeless care were heard. The responses analysis was based on seven conceptual categories: status, stigma, phenomenon, rualização, poverty, social exclusion and interdependence. The following findings were identified from the perspective of Homeless People: They are not being socially protected from a comprehensive health perspective; there is a need for investment in actions that strengthen the dialogue between social assistance and other public policies; it is important to enrich and incentive the organization of the Social Movement of this user; the intervention actions to them does not ensure an interdependent relationship, reifying the idea that individual and society are different instances. Based on that, this study has purposed an intervention methodology to HP in order to build interdependent relationships between them and the society
Search for a low-mass pseudoscalar Higgs boson produced in association with a bb‾ pair in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV
No full textA search is reported for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson decaying to a pair of τ leptons, produced in association with a bb‾ pair, in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models. The results are based on pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. Pseudoscalar boson masses between 25 and 80 GeV are probed. No evidence for a pseudoscalar boson is found and upper limits are set on the product of cross section and branching fraction to τ pairs between 7 and 39 pb at the 95% confidence level. This excludes pseudoscalar A bosons with masses between 25 and 80 GeV, with SM-like Higgs boson negative couplings to down-type fermions, produced in association with bb‾ pairs, in Type II, two-Higgs-doublet models. © 2016 The Author(s
