Abstract It is described for the first time the synthesis and characterization of NiMn2O4 employing the Mn ores from the Amazon Region as starting material, instead of using commercial reagents as normally occurs in its synthesis process. Initially, an Mn ore was transformed into a single product, the octahedral layer (OL) manganese oxide with Ni2+ ions interlayer (Ni-OL-2), which was used as a matrix to obtain NiMn2O4 by thermal decomposition. The following techniques were used for characterization: X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TG-DTA), scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopies. The results revealed that Mn oxide ore composed of nsutite mineral transformed into a well-ordered crystalline Ni-OL-2 phase, after the hydrothermal and cation exchange process. The thermal decomposition of Ni-OL-2 produced the nickel manganite phase at 850 °C with spherical ball morphology and crystal sizes in the range of 200-300 nm.

Resumo: Nesse texto pretendo explorar algumas das consequências para a antropologia da religião de um enfoque que privilegia a prática. Na primeira seção examino os efeitos do enquadramento proposto sobre o modo como tratamos os percursos pelos quais as pessoas transitam entre religiões e mudam de pertença religiosa. Na segunda endereço diretamente a questão de como abordar a religião como uma prática, a partir da proposta de uma ecologia das práticas delineada pela filósofa Isabelle Stengers. A reflexão é desenvolvida a partir de situações de pesquisa junto a religiões afro-brasileiras.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore some of the consequences for the anthropology of religion in terms of an approach that privileges practice. In the first section an examination is made of the effects of the proposed framework on how we study the pathways by which people move between religions and change their religious allegiance. In the second section, the question of how to approach religion as a practice from the standpoint of an ecology of practices outlined by the philosopher Isabelle Stengers is addressed. This reflection is developed through the description of cases drawn from research among Afro-Brazilian religions.

ABSTRACT Scarabeoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) present more than 2000 species recorded from all over Brazil. They have been scarcely recorded from caves, and truly troglobitic species are yet to be found in the country. In this study, we carried out a review of all existing scarab beetles deposited until 2017 in the Coleção de Invertebrados Subterrâneos de Lavras (ISLA), at the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA) (Minas Gerais, Brazil), one of the most important collections of subterranean invertebrates in South America. Ninety-two individuals belonging to 52 species were recorded, distributed in six families (Cetoniidae, Hybosoridae, Melolonthidae, Passalidae, Scarabaeidae and Trogidae). Scarabaeidae was the most diverse of them, representing more than 50% of the total of species recorded. We found Scarabeoidea beetles in 51 of the ~ 1600 caves examined, distributed in nine Brazilian states: Alagoas, Bahia, Distrito Federal, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Pará, Piauí, and Tocantins. Our results provide evidence that Scarabaeoidea beetles are not frequent in Brazilian caves, and their records in this kind of environment are mostly accidental. Exceptions include Trogidae and Aphodiinae species, which may be associated with bat guano. Our study presents the first list of Scarabaeoidea species sampled in Brazilian caves.

Resumo: Neste trabalho discutimos diferentes modos de existir-junto ou, mais especificamente, como certos seres se juntam em trajetórias de enredamento. A ideia, proposta por Souriau, de que as existências são não só plurais como também sempre capazes de tornar-se outras, de ganhar (ou perder) intensidade, constitui o ponto de partida de nossa reflexão. As formas de existir-junto de que falaremos aqui provêm de nossos diferentes campos de pesquisa (relações entre humanos e animais outros que humanos em um laboratório de pesquisa; relações entre seres mais que humanos e seus filhos humanos nas religiões afro-brasileiras). Interessa-nos refletir sobre os trajetos e técnicas através dos quais essas formas brotam e se fortalecem nesses campos.

Abstract In this paper we discuss different modes of existing-together. More specifically, we deal with the question of how certain beings come together in trajectories of entanglement. Étienne Souriau's contention that existence is not only plural but always capable of becoming other and of gaining (or losing) intensity provides the starting point for our reflection. The modes of existing-together that we describe here come from our different fields of research (relations between humans and other-than-human animals in a research lab, and relations between human and more-than-human beings in Afro-Brazilian religions). We are interested in exploring the different trajectories and techniques that enable certain modes of entanglement to emerge and gain force in these fields.

Resumo Fundamento Eventos isquêmicos recorrentes decorrem de instabilidade de placa aterosclerótica, enquanto morte após um evento isquêmico decorre da gravidade do insulto. A natureza diversa desses tipos de eventos pode fazer com que dados clínicos e anatômicos tenham diferentes capacidades prognósticas a depender do tipo de desfecho. Objetivo Identificar as predileções prognósticas de dados clínicos e dados anatômicos em relação a desfechos coronários fatais e não fatais durante hospitalização de pacientes com síndromes coronarianas agudas (SCA). Métodos Pacientes consecutivamente admitidos por SCA que realizaram coronariografia foram recrutados. O escore SYNTAX foi utilizado como modelo anatômico e o escore GRACE como modelo clínico. A capacidade preditora desses escores foi comparada quando à predição de desfechos isquêmicos não fatais (infarto ou angina refratária) e de morte cardiovascular durante hospitalização. Significância estatística foi definida por p < 0,05. Resultados Entre 365 indivíduos, 4,4% foi a incidência de óbito hospitalar e 11% de desfechos isquêmicos não fatais. Para morte cardiovascular, ambos os escores — SYNTAX e GRACE — apresentaram capacidade discriminatória, com estatísticas-C similares: 0,80 (95%IC: 0,70–0,92) e 0,89 (95%IC 0,81–0,96), respectivamente — p=0,19. Quantos aos desfechos isquêmicos não fatais, o escore SYNTAX apresentou valor preditor (estatística-C = 0,64; 95%IC 0,55–0,73), porém o escore GRACE não mostrou associação com esse tipo de desfecho (estatística-C = 0,50; 95%IC: 0,40–0,61) — p=0,027. Conclusão Os modelos clínico e anatômico predizem satisfatoriamente morte cardiovascular em SCA, enquanto a recorrência de instabilidade coronária é melhor prevista por características anatômicas do que por dados clínicos.

Abstract Background Recurrent ischemic events are mediated by atherosclerotic plaque instability, whereas death after an ischemic event results from gravity of insult and ability of the organism to adapt. The distinct nature of those types of events may respond for different prediction properties of clinical and anatomical information regarding type of outcome. Objective To identify prognostic properties of clinical and anatomical data in respect of fatal and non-fatal outcomes of patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods Patients consecutively admitted with ACS who underwent coronary angiography were recruited. The SYNTAX score was utilized as an anatomic model and the GRACE score as a clinical model. The predictive capacity of those scores was separately evaluated for prediction of non-fatal ischemic outcomes (infarction and refractory angina) and cardiovascular death during hospitalization. It was considered as significant a p-value <0,05. Results EAmong 365 people, cardiovascular death was observed in 4,4% and incidence of non-fatal ischemic outcomes in 11%. For cardiovascular death, SYNTAX and GRACE score presented similar C-statistic of 0,80 (95% IC: 0,70 – 0,92) and 0,89 (95% IC 0,81 – 0,96), respectively – p = 0,19. As for non-fatal ischemic outcomes, the SYNTAX score presented a moderate predictive value (C-statistic = 0,64; 95%IC 0,55 – 0,73), whereas the GRACE score did not presented association with this type of outcome (C-statistic = 0,50; 95%IC 0,40-0,61) – p = 0,027. Conclusion Clinical and anatomic models similarly predict cardiovascular death in ACS. However, recurrence of coronary instability is better predicted by anatomic variables than clinical data.

Resumo Fundamento: Os níveis plasmáticos de peptídeos natriuréticos cerebrais têm melhor precisão diagnóstica em comparação com a avaliação clínico-radiológica para insuficiência cardíaca aguda. Nas síndromes coronárias agudas (SCA), o valor prognóstico da insuficiência cardíaca aguda é incorporado nos modelos preditivos através da classificação de Killip. Não está estabelecido se o NT-proBNP poderia aumentar a previsão prognóstica. Objetivo: Avaliar se o NT-proBNP, como medida da disfunção ventricular esquerda, melhora o valor prognóstico intra-hospitalar do escore GRACE na SCA. Métodos: Foram incluídos no estudo pacientes admitidos por dor torácica aguda, com eletrocardiograma e/ou critérios de troponina para SCA. O nível plasmático de NT-proBNP foi medido no momento da admissão hospitalar e o desfecho primário foi definido como morte cardiovascular durante a hospitalização. Foi considerado significativo o valor de p < 0,05. Resultados: A mortalidade cardiovascular entre os 352 pacientes estudados foi de 4,8%. O valor preditivo do NT-proBNP para morte cardiovascular foi mostrado por uma estatística C de 0,78 (IC 95% = 0,65-0,90). Após o ajuste para o modelo GRACE subtraído pela variável Killip, o NT-proBNP permaneceu independentemente associado à morte cardiovascular (p = 0,015). No entanto, a discriminação pelo modelo logístico GRACE-BNP (estatística C = 0,83; IC 95% = 0,69-0,97) não foi superior ao escore GRACE tradicional com Killip (estatística C = 0,82; IC 95% = 0,68-0,97). O modelo GRACE-BNP não proporcionou melhora na classificação dos pacientes de alto risco pelo Escore GRACE (índice líquido de reclassificação = - 0,15; p = 0,14). Conclusão: Apesar da associação estatística com a morte cardiovascular, não houve evidências de que o NT-proBNP aumente o valor prognóstico do escore GRACE na SCA.

Abstract Background: Plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptides have better diagnostic accuracy compared to clinical-radiologic judgment for acute heart failure. In acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the prognostic value of acute heart failure is incorporated into predictive models through Killip classification. It is not established whether NT-proBNP could increment prognostic prediction. Objective: To evaluate whether NT-proBNP, as a measure of left ventricular dysfunction, improves the in-hospital prognostic value of the GRACE score in ACS. Methods: Patients admitted due to acute chest pain, with electrocardiogram and/or troponin criteria for ACS were included in the study. The plasma level of NT-proBNP was measured at hospital admission and the primary endpoint was defined as cardiovascular death during hospitalization. P-value < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Among 352 patients studied, cardiovascular mortality was 4.8%. The predictive value of NT-proBNP for cardiovascular death was shown by a C-statistic of 0.78 (95% CI = 0.65-0.90). After adjustment for the GRACE model subtracted by Killip variable, NT-proBNP remained independently associated with cardiovascular death (p = 0.015). However, discrimination by the GRACE-BNP logistic model (C-statistics = 0.83; 95%CI = 0.69-0.97) was not superior to the traditional GRACE Score with Killip (C-statistic = 0.82; 95%CI = 0.68-0.97). The GRACE-BNP model did not provide improvement in the classification of patients to high risk by the GRACE Score (net reclassification index = - 0.15; p = 0.14). Conclusion: Despite the statistical association with cardiovascular death, there was no evidence that NT-proBNP increments the prognostic value of GRACE score in ACS.

RESUMO Obrigações no candomblé são ritos realizados após a feitura (iniciação) para fortalecer os laços entre a filha de santo e seu orixá; a sequência desses ritos descreve uma trajetória de crescimento e maturação no terreiro. Em um sentido mais amplo, o conceito de obrigação fala de um modo próprio de criar e manter vínculos cujas dimensões temporais, éticas e políticas exploro ao longo deste texto. As muitas e diferentes obrigações construídas e por vezes rompidas no candomblé revelam um universo pluralista, próximo do sentido que William James atribui ao termo, embora um tipo muito particular de pluralismo, cujas características procuro descrever.

ABSTRACT Obligations in the Candomblé refer to rites that are performed after initiation to strengthen ties between an adept and her orixá; these rites form a sequence that describes a trajectory of growth and maturation. In a broader sense, the concept of obligation points to a mode of building and maintaining ties that has important temporal, ethical and political dimensions which I explore throughout the paper. The many different obligations that are made and sometimes broken in the candomblé reveal a pluralistic universe, close to William James’ definition of the term, albeit a very particular kind of pluralism whose features I seek to describe.

RESUMEN Las obligaciones en el candomblé son ritos realizados después de la iniciación para fortalecer los lazos entre la hija de santo y su orisha; la secuencia de estos ritos describe un camino de crecimiento y maduración en el terreiro. En un sentido más amplio, el concepto de obligación habla de una forma propia de crear y mantener vínculos cuyas dimensiones temporales, éticas y políticas exploro a lo largo de este texto. Las muchas y diferentes obligaciones construidas y algunas veces rotas en el candomblé revelan un universo pluralista próximo al sentido que William James atribuye a este término, aunque un tipo muy particular de pluralismo, cuyas características trato de describir.

Resumo Entidades brasileiras, donas da terra, caboclos são presença marcante nos candomblés de Salvador, onde são cultuados os orixás, divindades africanas. Neste trabalho, discutimos o modo como eles se conectam no terreiro de candomblé e nos corpos dos adeptos. Procuramos mostrar que essas conexões constituem exemplo de simbiose no contexto do que a filósofa Isabelle Stengers denomina ecologia das práticas: são conexões parciais entre seres que, embora relacionados por interesses comuns, seguem divergindo. Conforme argumentamos, oportunidades de simbiose desenham-se na dinâmica espacial do terreiro e apoiam-se em uma ética sutil que maneja a distância entre termos que se atraem.

Abstract Brazilian spirit entities, known as owners of the land, caboclos are a strong presence in the candomblé houses of Salvador, where African gods, the orixás, are worshipped. In this paper, we discuss how these entities are connected in the Candomblé houses (terreiros) and in the body of practitioners. We try to show that these connections can be taken as examples of symbiosis in the context of what the philosopher Isabelle Stengers calls an ecology of practices symbiosis: they are partial connections between beings that go on diverging despite being related by common interests. We argue that opportunities of symbiosis are given in the spatial dynamics of terreiros and rest upon an ethics that manages the distance between entities that are attracted to one another.

SUMMARY: This study aimed to evaluate the microstructure of the buffalo’s hoof capsule using hystomorphometry and computerized light microscopy. The length, thickness, gap and number of epidermal papillae and the morphology of the corneal tubules of the hoof were described in this paper. This study used 56 hoof capsules from hooves of 14 adults - age ranging from 24 to 60 months old - female buffaloes of the Jafarabadi breed; weighing around 650 kg. Fifty-six samples, 28 from thoracic limb and 28 from pelvic limbs, were analyzed, resulting in a total of 112 digits. Clinical specimens were collected at the coronary corium, laminar corium of the abaxial wall and pre-bulbar soles. The study concluded that the microstructure of the hoof capsule of buffalo hooves are made of epidermal papillae measuring 1,721.59 mm of length, 62.94 mm of thickness and 49.02 mm of gap between the papillae. This study determines that the coronary corium has more epidermal papillae than the laminar corium of the abaxial wall and pre-bulbar soles. The corneal tubules of the hoof capsules exhibit helical fashion and points to the possibility of applying this feature to the hooves of the biungulate species as well. In this research, we have been able to determine morphological parameters not yet described in scientific literature. These findings can be used in future comparative studies of healthy cattle and buffaloes and speculate evidence about the hooves’ vulnerability facing different hoof diseases.

RESUMEN: El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la microestructura de la cápsula del casco del búfalo mediante histomorfometría y microscopía óptica computarizada. Se describe la longitud, el espesor, el espacio y el número de papilas epidérmicas y la morfología de los túbulos corneales del casco. Utilizamos 56 cápsulas de cascos de 14 hembras adultas entre 24 a 60 meses de edad de la raza Jafarabadi, cuyo peso aproximado era de 650 kg. Analizamos 56 cascos, 28 del miembro torácico y 28 del miembro pélvico, con un total de 112 dedos. Se recogieron especímenes clínicos en el corion coronario, corion laminar de la pared abaxial y suelas pre-bulbares. Concluimos que la microestructura de la cápsula de los cascos de los búfalos está formada por papilas epidérmicas de 1.721,59 mm de longitud, 62,94 mm de espesor y 49,02 mm de espacio entre papilas. Se determinó que el corion coronario tiene más papilas epidérmicas que el corion laminar de la pared axial y las suelas pre-bulbares. Los túbulos córneos de las cápsulas de casco presentan una forma helicoidal y existe la posibilidad de que esta característica también se aplique a las pezuñas de otras especies de animales biungulados. También se determinaron algunos parámetros morfológicos no descritos en la literatura científica. Estos hallazgos pueden ser útiles en estudios comparativos de ganado bovino y bubalino saludable y en consideración de la ‘vulnerabilidad’ frente a diferentes enfermedades del casco.

ABSTRACT The metabolism of ethanol occurs mainly in the liver, promoting increase of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen, leading to redox imbalance. Therefore, antioxidants can be seen as an alternative to reestablish the oxidizing/reducing equilibrium. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effect of aqueous extract of Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC., Asteraceae, in a model of hepatotoxicity induced by ethanol. The extract was characterized and in vitro tests were conducted in HepG2 cells. It was evaluated the cells viability exposed to aqueous extract for 24 h, ability to scavenging the radical DPPH, besides the production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide, and the influence on the transcriptional activity of transcription factor Nrf2 (12 and 24 h) after exposure to 200 mM ethanol. The results showed that aqueous extract was non-cytotoxic in any concentration tested; moreover, it was observed a decrease in ROS and NO production, also promoting the transcriptional activity of Nrf2. In vivo, we pretreatment male rats Fisher with 600 mg/kg of aqueous extract and 1 h later 5 ml/kg of absolute ethanol was administrated. After two days of treatment, the animals were euthanized and lipid profile, hepatic and renal functions, antioxidant status and oxidative damage were evaluated. The treatment with extract improved liver function and lipid profile, reflecting the reduction of lipid microvesicules in the liver. It also promoted an increase of glutathione peroxidase activity, decrease of oxidative damage and MMP-2 activity. These results, analyzed together, suggest the hepatoprotective effect of B. trimera aqueous extract.

ResumoNeste artigo discuto o aprendizado de práticas visuais no candomblé. Conforme procuro mostrar aprender a ver está diretamente relacionado ao modo como se fazem pessoas nessa religião. Uma parte importante desse processo envolve a experiência de não ver – de ter a visão repetidamente limitada por outros. Reforçada por um conjunto de práticas, contextos e modos de sociabilidade, essa experiência contribui para formar pessoas que aprendem a ver um excesso oculto sob o visível (ou repousando ao seu lado), que aprendem a ver o invisível. Na conclusão aponto para o tipo de mundo que as práticas visuais do candomblé tanto descortinam e quanto ajudam a instaurar.

AbstractIn this paper I discuss the process by which novices learn to see in the Afro-Brazilian religion known as candomblé. As I try to show learning to see is intimately tied to way by which persons are constructed or “made” in candomblé cult houses. An important part of this process involves the experience of not being able to see, of having one’s vision repeatedly restricted by others. Reinforced by a series of practices, situations and modes of sociability, this experience helps form persons wholearn to see an excess hidden under the visible (or lying beside it), persons who learn to see the invisible. The paper concludes by identifying the world which the candomblé’s visual practices both unveil and help constitute.

Neste trabalho, foi estudado o desempenho catalítico de materiais a base de Ni, suportado em cério dopado com Zr, Pr e Nb para serem usados como anodos em células a combustível de óxido sólido (SOFC) alimentadas com combustíveis contendo metano e CO2. Os anodos foram preparados pelo método hidrotérmico, usando um teor de Ni (14% em volume) menor do que o utilizado em anodos convencionais (30% em volume). Os materiais obtidos foram caracterizados através de análises de difração de raios X, redução à temperatura programada, espectroscopia Raman e termogravimetria. Os resultados mostraram que o material contendo Zr apresentou o menor tamanho de cristalito de níquel metálico, o que levou a um maior valor de atividade inicial na reação de reforma seca do metano a 1073 K. Entretanto, o catalisador Ni/CePr apresentou a menor quantidade de carbono formada. Isto foi atribuído à maior mobilidade de oxigênio do suporte CePr, o que promove o mecanismo de remoção do carbono.

In this work, the catalytic performance of Ni supported on ceria doped with Zr, Pr and Nb used as anodes for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operating directly on fuels containing methane and CO2 was studied. The anodes were prepared by a hydrothermal method using a Ni content (14 vol%) lower than that of a conventional SOFC anodes (30 vol%). The materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction, Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses. The results showed that the sample containing Zr exhibited the lowest Ni crystallite size, which led to a high initial activity on dry reforming of methane at 1073 K. However, the Ni/CePr catalyst showed the lowest carbon formation. This was attributed to the higher oxygen mobility of CePr support that promotes the carbon removal mechanism.

Introduction: The Dietary Sodium Restriction Questionnaire (DSRQ) was designed to assess attitudes and behaviors of patients with heart failure (HF) related to following a low-sodium diet. Recently, it has been translated and culturally adapted for use in Brazil. However, further validation of the instrument is required before it can be used in the management of patients with HF in Brazil. Objective: To test the reliability and validity of the Brazilian version of the DSRQ. Methods: Face and content validity were assessed by a panel of experts. Construct validity was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha to assess the internal consistency of the instrument. Results: A total of 206 systolic HF outpatients were assessed (mean age, 60.4 ± 11.9 years). Face and content validity analysis showed equivalence between the Brazilian version and the original instrument. In the exploratory factor analysis, the principal component analysis (PCA) yielded four factors with eigenvalues greater than 1. Three models were tested in the confirmatory factor analysis, and the three-factor model resulting from the PCA showed the best fit, accounting for 49% of the variance. Alpha values obtained for the attitude/ subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and dependent behavior subscales were 0.71, 0.67, and 0.79, respectively. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the final validated Brazilian version of the DSRQ is a valid and reliable tool for measuring attitudes and behaviors related to following a low-sodium diet in Brazilian patients with HF.

Introducción: El Dietary Sodium Restriction Questionnaire (DSRQ) evalúa actitudes y comportamientos de pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) relacionados con el cumplimiento de la restricción de sodio. Recientemente, ha sido traducido y adaptado culturalmente para uso en Brasil. No obstante, una validación adicional del instrumento se requiere para que pueda ser utilizado en el manejo de pacientes con IC en Brasil. Objetivo: Probar la fiabilidad y validez de la versión brasileña del DSRQ. Métodos: Validez aparente y de contenido fueron evaluados por un grupo de especialistas. Validez de cons-tructo se evaluó mediante análisis factorial exploratoria y confirmatoria. La fiabilidad y consistencia interna del cuestionario fue evaluada mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: Un total de 206 pacientes ambulatorios con IC fueron evaluados (edad media, 60,4 ± 11,9 años). Los resultados de la validez aparente y de contenido demostró la equivalencia entre la versión brasileña y de la versión original. En el análisis factorial exploratorio, el análisis de componentes principales (PCA) se obtuvieron cuatro factores con valores superiores a 1. Tres modelos fueron probados en el análisis factorial confirmatoria, y el modelo de tres factores resultantes del PCA mostró el mejor ajuste, representando 49% de la varianza. El alfa obtenido para las escalas de actitud/norma subjetiva, control de la conducta percibido y comportamiento dependiente fueron 0,71, 0,67 y 0,79, respectivamente. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados sugieren que la versión brasileña del DSRQ es un instrumento válido y fiable para medir las actitudes y comportamientos relacionados con una dieta baja en sodio en pacientes brasileños con IC.
