Abstract Leucism has been reported in at least 14 cetacean species, including Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus). Risso’s dolphins with abnormal pigmentation were sighted and photographed north of Faial Island, Azores Archipelago, in 6 separate events between 2020 and 2023. In 2020, a calf and a juvenile/subadult were observed within a group of over 100 individuals. A leucistic calf with pale skin and dark eyes was observed in 2021, 2022, and 2023 in the same area followed by the same adult within a pod of about 12 individuals, including 3 juveniles, all with normal coloration. This is the first report of wild leucistic Risso’s dolphins in the Atlantic, which could be of interest in future local population and hypopigmentation studies on a dolphin species known to become completely white with age.

Abstract: The cerambycid insect Xylotrechus arvicola is considered a pest that affects the wood of the grapevine (Vitis vinifera) in the major wine areas of the Iberian Peninsula. The larva of this insect perforates the grapevine wood, resulting in structural and biomechanical failure of the vine plants. Vine samples from wood damaged by X. arvicola larvae were picked up from different vineyards and grape varieties. Compressive and flexural tests were performed in order to assess the mechanical behaviour of the wood samples. Total length of the cracks in wood samples (TLCWS) that appeared on the surface of the grapevine wood samples after the mechanical tests was measured. Compressive strength (CS) and flexural strength (FS) decreased with the increase of the cross-sectional area (CSA) of both branches and trunks, regardless of damage condition or water content. Moreover, the resistance was lower in damaged wood. In addition, this was verified through the linear regression coefficients of the interaction CS x CSA and FS x CSA. TLCWS in branches and trunks of damaged samples was greater that in undamaged samples. Also, TLCWS within the same damage condition and part of the plant was higher in dry samples than in fresh samples. The damaged wood would show a higher vulnerability to common mechanical stress suffered by the grapevines in the field including heavy winds, fruit overweight or harvesting machines shaking (when mechanically collected). Larvae of this insect altered the mechanical behaviour of the trunk and branches of grapevine wood. The mechanical strength of wood was more negatively affected when the CSA of the branches and trunks increased. Longer TLCWS was found in affected wood.

Abstract A Penicillium sp. strain was isolated from corroded parts in the Coaracy Nunes hydroelectric power plant in Amapá State, Brazil. Morphological and molecular techniques identified this strain as Penicillium citreosulfuratum Biourge, whose 5.8S-ITS rDNA sequence grouped well in a phylogenetic tree with other Exilicaulis section species of the Penicillium genus. The obtained strain of P. citreosulfuratum ability to form biofilm on the surface of aluminum wires was confirmed by optical and scanning electron microscopy. In plates containing PDA or T&K media, the P. citreosulfuratum strain growth was inhibited around a paper disk containing a highly concentrated solution of copper, iron, or nickel. However, there was no inhibition halo around the paper disk containing aluminum and there was a faint halo around the paper disk containing zinc. This fungus was able to grow in a modified T&K liquid medium containing 50 mM of Al3+ and less efficiently in the same medium but containing 50 mM Zn2+. The essential oils of melaleuca, mint, thyme, and oregano at 100% inhibited the fungus growth. Oregano essential oil inhibited the P. citreosulfuratum strain growth in concentrations as low as 10%. In conclusion, the results show that the obtained strain of P. citreosulfurarum can form a biofilm on aluminum wires, it grows in the presence of a high concentrations of aluminum and zinc, and essential oils can control its growth.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to report an unusual case of actinomycosis in the maxilla region of an asymptomatic patient. A 21-year-old white man was referred for the analysis of panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography, where it was observed the presence of a hypodense lesion on the left side of the maxilla, which extended from the maxillary left central incisor to the region of the maxillary left second premolar. During intraoral examination, a depression was observed in the hard palate mucosa, as well as a fistula in the alveolar mucosa close to maxillary left central incisor, which had pulp vitality confirmed by thermal tests. A fistulography was performed, with periapical radiography, where it was found that the fistulous path did not originate from the tooth mentioned above. An incisional biopsy was performed for diagnostic purposes. However, given the inconclusive microscopic findings, four months later, a new biopsy was performed. The histopathological examination revealed the presence of a colony of microoganisms with filamentous pattern of radiated rosette, surrounded by polymorphonuclear inflammatory cells. Based on the morphological characteristics, the diagnosis of actinomycosis was established. The treatment was based on antibiotic therapy. Six months after treatment of the infection, no signs of recurrence were observed, and the patient remains in follow-up. Actinomycosis in the maxilla is an uncommon infection with a predilection for males between the ages of 20 and 60, whose treatment is antibiotic therapy associated or not with surgical excision.

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo é relatar um caso incomum de actinomicose em região de maxila de um paciente assintomático. Um homem de 21 anos, branco, foi encaminhado para análise de radiografia panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico, onde foi observada a presença de lesão hipodensa do lado esquerdo da maxila, que se estendia da região do incisivo central superior esquerdo ao segundo pré-molar superior esquerdo. Ao exame intrabucal, observou-se depressão na mucosa do palato duro, bem como fístula na mucosa alveolar próxima ao incisivo central superior esquerdo, no qual tinha vitalidade pulpar confirmada pelos testes térmicos. Uma fistulografia com radiografia periapical foi realizada, onde foi observado que o trajeto fistuloso não era originado do dente mencionado anteriormente. Foi realizada biópsia incisional para fins diagnósticos. Porém, diante dos achados microscópicos inconclusivos, quatro meses depois, uma nova biópsia foi realizada. O exame histopatológico revelou a presença de colônia de microrganismos com padrão filamentoso de roseta irradiada, circundado por células inflamatórias polimorfonucleares. Com base nas características morfológicas, foi estabelecido o diagnóstico de actinomicose. O tratamento foi baseado em antibioticoterapia. Seis meses após o tratamento da infecção, não foram observados sinais de recidiva e o paciente permanece em acompanhamento. A actinomicose da maxila é uma infecção incomum, com predileção por pacientes do sexo masculino com idade entre 20 e 60 anos, cujo tratamento é antibioticoterapia associada ou não à excisão cirúrgica.

Abstract Despite the extent use of geochemical tracers to track warm air mass origin reaching the Antarctic continent, we present here evidences that microorganisms being transported by the atmosphere and deposited in fresh snow layers of Antarctic ice sheets do act as tracers of air mass advection from the Southern Patagonia region to Northern Antarctic Peninsula. We combined atmospheric circulation data with microorganism content in snow/firn samples collected in two sites of the Antarctic Peninsula (King George Island/Wanda glacier and Detroit Plateau) by using flow cytometer quantification. In addition, we cultivated, isolated and submitted samples to molecular sequencing to precise species classification. Viable gram-positive bacteria were found and recovered in different snow/firn layers samples, among dead and living cells, their number concentration was compared to northern wind component, stable isotopes of oxygen, d18O, and the concentration of crustal elements (Fe, Ti and Ca). Use of satellite images combined with air mass back-trajectory analysis obtained from the NOAA/ HYSPLIT model corroborated the results.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the tissue content of neutral and acidic mucins, sulfomucins and sialomucins in colonic glands devoid of intestinal transit after enemas containing sucralfate and n-acetylcysteine alone or in combination. Methods: Sixty-four rats underwent intestinal transit bypass. A colonic segment was collected to compose the white group (without intervention). After derivation, the animals were divided into two groups according to whether enemas were performed daily for two or four weeks. Each group was subdivided into four subgroups according to the substance used: control group: saline 0.9%; sucralfate group (SCF): SCF 2 g/kg/day; n-acetylcysteine group (NAC): NAC 100 mg/kg/day; and SCF+NAC group: SCF 2 g/kg/day + NAC 100 mg/kg/day.Neutral and acidic mucins were stained by periodic acid-Schiff and alcian-blue techniques, respectively. The distinction between sulfomucins and sialomucin was made by the high alcian-blue iron diamine technique. The content of mucins in the colonic glands was measured by computerized morphometry. The inflammatory score was assessed using a validated scale. The results between the groups were compared by the Mann-Whitney’s test, while the variation according to time by the Kruskal-Wallis’ test (Dunn’s post-test). A significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: There was reduction in the inflammatory score regardless of the application of isolated or associated substances. Intervention with SCF+NAC increased the content of all mucin subtypes regardless of intervention time. Conclusions: The application of SCF+NAC reduced the inflammatory process of the colonic mucosa and increased the content of different types of mucins in the colonic glands of segments excluded from fecal transit.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender como a linguagem do direito mediatiza as relações entre mundo-da-vida e sistema, fundamentando teoricamente a gestão social ao colocar a sociedade como protagonista das ações públicas. Consideramos, nesse aspecto, a gestão social como manifestação de um interesse público não-estatal no âmbito das relações complexas entre Estado, Mercado e Sociedade, cuja linguagem do direito socializa e integra, faz interagir organizações, instituições e afeta a autonomia pública e privada dos indivíduos. Para solucionar os problemas relativos à tensão entre mundo-da-vida e sistema, Habermas dedicou-se a detalhar sua teoria política juntamente com o direito, articulando republicanismo e liberalismo, autonomia pública e privada, facticidade e validade. O emprego do conceito de gestão social, em sua vertente habermasiana, suscita questões relativas ao direito, as quais receberam pouca atenção dos teóricos, apesar da centralidade que assumiram nas obras do autor. Destacam-se as transformações que a compreensão do direito sofre nas seguintes obras de Habermas: Teoria do agir comunicativo e Direito e democracia. As tensões que ameaçam a solidariedade e o entendimento e que resultam na colonização do mundo-da-vida pelos subsistemas funcionais, o direito transita da condição primeira de juridicialização das relações sociais para a posição mediadora entre o mundo-da-vida e o sistema, de conversão do poder comunicativo em poder administrativo. A gestão social como expressão da tensão e mediação entre mundo-da-vida e sistema é também expressão da tensão entre facticidade e validade do direito, entre autonomia pública e autonomia privada, entre liberalismo e republicanismo. mundodavida mundo vida públicas Consideramos aspecto nãoestatal não estatal Estado Sociedade integra organizações indivíduos dedicouse dedicou se habermasiana teóricos autor Destacamse Destacam democracia funcionais administrativo

Abstract This article aims to understand how the language of law mediates the relations between the lifeword and system, theoretically supporting social management by considering society as the leading actor of public actions. Social management is considered a manifestation of a non-state public interest in the complex relationships between state, market and society, whose language of law socializes and integrates, make organizations and institutions Interact and affects individuals’ public and private autonomy. To solve problems related to the tension between the lifeword and the systems, Habermas detailed his political theory along with the law, linking republicanism and liberalism, public and private autonomy, facticity, and validity. The transformations that understanding law undergo in Habermas’ work: Theory of communicative action and Law and democracy stand out. In the tensions that threaten solidarity and understanding and result in the colonization in the lifeworld by functional subsystems, the law moves from the first condition of juridicalization of social relations to the mediating position between the life world and system of converting communicative power into administrative power. Social management is an expression of the tension and mediation between the lifeworld and the system is also expression. of the tension between facticity and validity of the law, between public autonomy, and between liberalism and republicanism. actions nonstate non state integrates individuals autonomy systems work out subsystems

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of the organic load to Tucunduba Igarapé. The data were collected over 12 h for continuous analysis of physical variables, and every 3 h for physicochemical analysis. The cross-sectional profile and flow rate were measured using an accustic doppler current profile, and the load of organic matter was estimates using equations. Three distinct flow periods were verified, two of which were governed by the hydrodynamics of the Guamá River estuary and the other by unidirectional flow from Tucunduba Igarapé to the Guamá River estuary. The organic loads of biochemical oxygen demand (0,03 kg d-1 – 0,07 kg d-1) produced in Igarapé is greater than the contributions from the Guamá River estuary. The Guamá River estuary exerts a positive effect on the Igarapé by dispersing the produced organic loads and aiding its capacity for self-purification.

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a contribuição da carga orgânica o Igarapé Tucunduba. Os dados foram coletados durante 12 h, com análises contínuas para variáveis físicas e a cada 3 h para físico-químicas. O perfil da seção transversal e a vazão foram medidos usando Accustic Doppler Current Profile e a carga de matéria orgânica estimada usando equações. Foram verificados três períodos distintos de vazões, sendo dois regidos pela hidrodinâmica do estuário do rio Guamá e outro pelo fluxo unidirecional do Igarapé Tucunduba para o estuário do rio Guamá. A carga orgânica de demanda bioquímica de oxigênio (0,03 kg d-1 – 0,07 kg d-1) produzida na bacia é maior do que a contribuição do estuário do rio Guamá. O estuário do rio Guamá exerce um efeito positivo nesta bacia por dispersar as cargas orgânicas produzidas e por auxiliar sua capacidade de autodepuração.

ABSTRACT The scientificity of the social management field (SM) has been constructed and validated in the Brazilian academy. It is positioned based on empirical evidence and a theoretical construction since the 1990s. In addition, the research developed under the aegis of SM has been guided by dialogues with different topics and areas of knowledge. Thus, this article presents an integrated synthesis of the articles available in the SPELL database, between 2010 and 2020. The evolution of SM was analyzed as a field of knowledge, exploring concepts, theoretical categories, epistemological and ontological assumptions, and theoretical references. When analyzing the categories and theoretical approaches of SM, the public sphere, social space, participation, cooperation, cooperativism, decentralization, solidarity economy, corporate sustainability, public governance, and social innovation were identified. Regarding the analysis of the epistemological and ontological assumptions of the field, it was possible to perceive a considerable multiplicity of approaches: Habermas critical theory, structuring theory, coloniality of power, ecology, Maffesolian sociology, sociologies of absences and emergencies by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Putnam’s fact vs. value dichotomy, strategy as practice and decoloniality. As a result, the field’s effort to resolve inconsistencies and misunderstandings that invalidate its practice is clear. In addition, the urgency of carrying out the actions proposed by SM is evident, since the current mainstream model reinforces and elevates social disparities between groups, preventing the common good.

RESUMEN El campo de conocimiento de la gestión social (GS), cuya cientificidad ha sido construida y validada en la academia brasileña, se posiciona por medio de la evidencia empírica y una construcción teórica desde la década de 1990. Además, las investigaciones desarrolladas bajo la égida de la GS se han guiado por diálogos con diferentes temas y áreas de conocimiento. Así, este artículo presenta una síntesis integrada de los artículos disponibles en la base de datos Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library (SPELL), en el período de 2010 a 2020. Se analizó la evolución de la GS como campo de conocimiento, explorando conceptos, categorías teóricas, supuestos epistemológicos y ontológicos y referentes teóricos. Al analizar las categorías y enfoques teóricos de la GS se identificaron la esfera pública, el espacio social, la participación, cooperación, cooperativismo, descentralización, economía solidaria, sostenibilidad empresarial, gobernanza pública e innovación social. En cuanto al análisis de los presupuestos epistemológicos y ontológicos del campo, fue posible percibir una multiplicidad considerable de enfoques: teoría crítica habermasiana, teoría de la estructuración, colonialidad del poder, ecología, sociología maffesoliana, sociologías de las ausencias y de las emergencias de Boaventura de Sousa Santos, dicotomía hecho-valor de Putnam, la estrategia como práctica y decolonialidad. Como resultado, es claro el esfuerzo del campo por resolver las inconsistencias y malentendidos que invalidan su práctica. Además, se evidencia la urgencia de llevar a cabo las acciones propuestas por la GS, ya que el modelo actual de la corriente principal refuerza y eleva las disparidades sociales entre grupos, impidiendo la realización del bien común.

ABSTRACT Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that can have diverse clinical manifestations. Cutaneous involvement may occur as a result of exogenous inoculation, contiguous dissemination from a focus of infection, or by hematogenous spread from a distant focus (1). Multibacillary forms of cutaneous localization remain by far the most common in children (2). Children and the elderly are greatly affected due to immunological inability to contain the mycobacterial infection. Scrofuloderma can occur in isolation or coexist with pulmonary and disseminated forms of TB. It presents with erythematous nodules that fistulize and discharge caseous and purulent material (3). Anatomopathological examinations reveal abscesses, necrosis and tuberculoid granulomas (3). Clinical, biological, pathological correlation and sometimes progression with antibacillary treatment are the key to diagnosis (2).

RESUMEN La tuberculosis (TB) cutánea es una forma rara de tuberculosis extrapulmonar y puede tener diversas manifestaciones clínicas. La afectación cutánea puede producirse como resultado de inoculación exógena, diseminación contigua desde un foco de infección, o mediante la propagación hematógena desde un foco distante 1. Las formas multibacilares de localización cutánea siguen siendo, con mucho, las más comunes en los niños 2. La tuberculosis cutánea representa sólo el 1-2% de las formas extrapulmonares de TB. Se clasifica en varias variantes, y la escrofulodermia es una forma de tuberculosis endógena. Afecta a personas de todas las edades, sin embargo, los niños, los adolescentes y los ancianos se ven muy afectados, debido a la incapacidad inmunológica para contener la infección por micobacterias. La escrofulodermia puede presentarse de forma aislada o coexistir con formas pulmonares y diseminadas de TB. Se presenta como nódulos eritematosos que se fistulizan y descargan material caseoso y purulento 3. Los exámenes patológicos revelan abscesos, necrosis y granulomas de tipo tuberculoide (3). La correlación clínica, biológica, patológica y, a veces, la progresión con el tratamiento antibacilar son la clave del diagnóstico 2.
