Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Disputas pelo monopólio da prática odontológica e a criação da Escola Livre de Odontologia do Pará (1911-1914)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-12) LIMA, Marcelino Carmo de; NASCIMENTO, Sulenir Candida da Silva; ALVES, Jose Jeronimo de AlencarThe objective of this research is to analyze the newspapers published in the State of Pará, in the period that preceded the creation, in 1914, of the Escola Livre de Odontologia do Pará, when dentistry was still practiced both by professionals trained in schools located outside the State and by the others. We find that the newspapers, the Estado do Pará and A Província do Pará, in the period before the creation of the Escola that is, from 1911 to 1914 published several news related to the formation and practice of dentistry. What was this news? We found that they expressed, above all, the controversies among the holders of diplomas obtained in schools of dentistry outside the State that sought to exclude the others. The claims about the monopoly of the profession, therefore, as the news shows, began even before the creation of the Escola do Pará.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Influence of the flood pulse on the reproduction of Tocantinsia piresi (Miranda Ribeiro) and Auchenipterus nuchalis (Spix & Agassiz) (Auchenipteridae) of the middle Xingu River, Brazil(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08) FREITAS, Tiago Magalhães da Silva; PRUDENTE, Bruno da Silveira; OLIVEIRA, Valéria de Albuquerque; OLIVEIRA, Mairo Nazareno Carvalho de; PRATA, Erival Gonçalves; SOUSA, Híngara Leão; MONTAG, Luciano Fogaça de AssisThis study investigates the influence of the flood pulse on the reproductive biology of the auchenipterids Tocantisia piresi (Miranda Ribeiro, 1920) and Auchenipterus nuchalis (Spix & Agassiz, 1829) from the middle Xingu River in the Brazilian state of Pará. The specimens were collected every three months between April, 2012, and January, 2014, covering four distinct periods (flood, ebb, dry, and filling). The sex ratio, size at first maturity, gonadosomatic index, and condition factor were analysed in the two species, and evaluated in the context of the different hydrological periods. A total of 897 specimens of T. piresi were collected, of which 467 were female, and 430 males, and 383 A. nuchalis (286 females and 97 males). In T. piresi, the sex ratio was biased only in the filling and ebb periods, whereas in A. nuchalis, it departed significantly from the expected ratio of 1:1 in all periods, with a predominance of females. The female T. piresi mature at a smaller size than the males, with the opposite of the pattern being recorded in A. nuchalis. In T. piresi, the breeding peak was observed during the low water periods, whereas in A. nuchalis, the peak was recorded in the flood periods. Male and female T. piresi presented similar positively allometric growth rates, whereas in A. nuchalis, growth was negatively allometric, but rates were different between genders. A higher condition factor was recorded in the females of both species during the ebb period. Overall, the results of this study reveals distinct flood pulse effects on the reproductive parameters of the two auchenipterid species studied; for A. nuchalis the spawning seems to happen at the flood period and for T. piresi at the dry season of the middle Xingu River.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Karyotypic evolution of ribosomal sites in buffalo subspecies and their crossbreed(2014-06) DEGRANDI, Tiago Marafiga; PITA, Sebastian; PANZERA, Yanina; OLIVEIRA, Edivaldo Herculano Correa de; MARQUES, José Ribamar Felipe; FIGUEIRÓ, Marivaldo Rodrigues; MARQUES, Larissa Coelho; VINADE, Lucia Helena do Canto; GUNSKI, Ricardo José; DEL VALLE GARNERO, AnalíaDomestic buffaloes are divided into two group based on cytogenetic characteristics and habitats: the “river buffaloes” with 2n = 50 and the “swamp buffaloes”, 2n = 48. Nevertheless, their hybrids are viable, fertile and identified by a 2n = 49. In order to have a better characterization of these different cytotypes of buffaloes, and considering that NOR-bearing chromosomes are involved in the rearrangements responsible for the karyotypic differences, we applied silver staining (Ag-NOR) and performed fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) experiments using 18S rDNA as probe. Metaphases were obtained through blood lymphocyte culture of 21 individuals, including river, swamp and hybrid cytotypes. Ag-NOR staining revealed active NORs on six chromosome pairs (3p, 4p, 6, 21, 23, 24) in the river buffaloes, whereas the swamp buffaloes presented only five NOR-bearing pairs (4p, 6, 20, 22, 23). The F1 crossbreed had 11 chromosomes with active NORs, indicating expression of both parental chromosomes. FISH analysis confirmed the numerical divergence identified with Ag-NOR. This result is explained by the loss of the NOR located on chromosome 4p in the river buffalo, which is involved in the tandem fusion with chromosome 9 in this subspecies. A comparison with the ancestral cattle karyotype suggests that the NOR found on the 3p of the river buffalo may have originated from a duplication of ribosomal genes, resulting in the formation of new NOR sites in this subspecies.
