Abstract:

Abstract This paper sets out to examine two locative constructions found in Caijia, an unclassified language with many Sinitic features spoken in Guizhou province of China, using the framework of Ameka & Levinson’s (2007) typology of locative predicates (basic locative construction [blc]). These are the locative verb construction and the positional verb construction, both of which are used to answer the question ‘Where is the X?’. The different syntactic, semantic and pragmatic constraints on the usage of these two main constructions are described and analyzed in detail as well, while the locative verb construction is identified as the basic locative construction. The present paper also studies the core constituents in these two constructions, for example, localizers, which serve to indicate a relative spatial relation between two entities and for whose nominal nature we argue in this paper, a locative verb whose source is ‘live, dwell’, and two types of positional verbs. Even though Caijia is a language very close in its characteristics to Sinitic languages, this study demonstrates certain unusual features, atypical for Sinitic. We also show that Caijia does not bear out all the predictions proposed by Ameka & Levinson for the locative verbs in the languages of the single locative type, nor does it entirely conform with the hierarchy for the blc encoding (Ameka & Levinson 2007).

Abstract:

The study comparatively analyzed the general physico-chemical parameters of five different water bodies to assess their suitability for fish production. Four water bodies (Enyigba, Mkpuma, Ameka and Ebonyi) close to quarry sites were selected while the fifth was a culture pond water which served as the control experiment. The water parameters: pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), free CO2 and transparency were examined using standard methods for 24 months. The results showed that the pattern of temperature variation in all the water bodies examined followed a similar trend with the lowest value observed between December and January. The pond water showed slightly varied pH levels compared to the natural water bodies. The DO contents of Ebonyi, Mkpuma and Enyigba were higher than those recorded from Ameke and pond. Relatively, lower concentrations of free CO2 were recorded in the pond water and Ebonyi river during the harmattan period (December to January) and below the detectable levels. The variation of Sechi disc depth was higher in Enyigba when compared with other water bodies all through the period of the experiment. The trend of transparency was the same in all the water bodies.

Abstract:

By revisiting interjections in Scandinavian Studies in Language, the explicit goal of the issue is to bring together Scandinavian and global perspectives on interjections. Our volume opens up Scandinavia-based research to the global audience, and at the same time, our analysis is characterized by deep connections with global scholarships in the plural. The seminal work on interjections by Wierzbicka (1991 [2003]); and Ameka (1992) had a crosslinguistic vision that continues to inspire the ongoing work of understanding both local interjections and global comparison.

Abstract:

A classe das interjeições é certamente aquela que recebeu menos atenção na história dos estudos gramaticas, e devido à falta de uma descrição formal para os membros dessa classe não é incomum encontramos definições vagas desses itens, que dizem queeles servem para “expressar sentimentos e emoções”. Neste artigo, propomos uma análise do significado das interjeições, segundo os moldes da semântica e pragmática formal das línguas naturais. Adotando uma abordagem conceitualista, seguindo Ameka (1992) eWilkins (1992), argumentamos que as interjeições contêm significado semântico, e são um tipo particular de indexical, i.e., expressivos.

Abstract:

Abstract This study has two aims. First, it lays out the synchronic patterning of four constructions that express static location in Secoya (Tukanoan). Each construction licenses different semantic verb types: topological verbs, postural verbs, an existential verb, and a copula. Second, this study explores the different construals encoded by these constructions and highlights the ways speakers use them creatively to elaborate on stage-level properties adjacent to location in locative utterances. Data collected from six speakers using visual stimuli reveal that each of the constructions elaborates on specific aspects of locative scenes. Responses for typical/atypical scenes, negative polarity statements, and frequency patterns show that speakers can choose conceptualizations that favor Ground geometry, Figure posture, more complex Figure dispositions, or marked perspectivizations. Similar phenomena are observed in other Amazonian languages. These results raise difficulties in identifying a basic locative construction, suggesting that Secoya may not fit squarely into any type in existing typologies of spatial expression (e.g., Ameka and Levinson 2007). Additionally, the Secoya system raises questions about the relationship between conceptual alternativity and the notion of “basicness” with respect to construal types.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the linguistic and philological characteristics of the primary interjections in Ancient Greek drama. It employs Ameka’s definition and classification from 1992 as its theoretical base, and provides a comprehensive research survey. The thesis has a data-driven approach, and is based on all items traditionally classified as interjections. In the chapter on morphology and syntax, the unique characteristics of interjections are presented. E.g., NPs co-occurring with interjections form an interjection phrase, which follows a specific pattern, in accordance with a phrase schema. The chapter on semantics, which is the main part of the thesis, employs an analytical model based on a moderate minimalism approach. This assumes that all items have a core meaning that can be identified without the aid of context, yet allows different, but related, meanings. The definition adopted in the present thesis states that interjections share only formal characteristics, and thus can be divided into categories based on their semantic features, which are defined using Kaplan’s notion of informational equivalence. The thesis deals with three such categories, each with its individual semantic properties: expressive interjections, express the speaker’s experience of emotion and/or cognition; conative interjections, express what the speaker wants the addressee or auditor to do; imitative interjections, depict or reproduce sounds or events. Items in category 1 are the most frequent and thus receive most attention. In the chapter on pragmatics, it is proposed that the primary function of interjections is to express the core semantics in a specified context. Felicity conditions are suggested for an utterance to convey the primary meaning of an interjection. Interjections are also shown to have various secondary functions, e.g. that of strengthening markers. Finally, a lexicon is provided, which offers individual informational equivalents of all interjections under study.

Várias espécies do gênero Acanthamoeba podem causar ceratite e encefalite amebiana granulomatosa. A avaliação dos critérios de patogenicidade é de grande importância para analisar o risco de infecção. Nossos objetivos foram determinar o potencial patogênico de isolados ambientais de Acanthamoeba de Brasília, DF e avaliar uma técnica de purificação de cultivos de Acanthamoeba. A análise da sequência do 18S rDNA revelou que: entre os 19 isolados estudados, oitoapresentaram similaridade com o genótipo T5, seis com o genótipo T4 e um com o genótipo T2/T6. Os genótipos dos outros quatro isolados não foram determinados. A cepa de referência Acanthamoeba polyphaga (ATCC 30461) serviu de controle. Além disso, 11 isolados (58%) cresceram a 37°C e oito (42%) cresceram em presença de manitol 1,5 M, parâmetros fisiológicos associados com isolados patogênicos de Acanthamoeba, enquanto quatro isolados de água de piscina e um de ceratite apresentaram elevado potencial patogênico. Nos testes de patogenicidade in vivo, realizados com três isolados e a cepa de referência ATCC30461, o isolado de córnea foi considerado patogênico e dois isolados ambientais,invasivos. Foi possível reduzir a porcentagem de fungos e bactérias em uma placa de cultura da cepa de referência ATCC 30461 e de bactérias em uma placa de cultura de um isolado de solo com a inoculação na cavidade peritoneal de camundongos. Nossos resultados indicam ampla distribuição de isolados de Acanthamoeba spp. similares aos genótipos T4, T5 e T2/T6, classificados como invasivos, em diversos habitats de Brasília, DF, revelando o risco potencial de infecção humana e a necessidade de medidas preventivas. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
Several Acanthamoeba species may cause keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis. The evaluation of the criteria of pathogen city is very important to assess the risk of infection. We aimed to determine the pathogenic potential of environ mental isolates of Acanthamoeba from Brasília, DF, Brazil, and assess technique to purify Acanthamoeba cultures. Sequence analysis of 18S rDNArevealed that: among the 19 isolates tested, eight were similar to genotype T5, six to genotype T4, and one to genotype T2/T6. The genotypes of the remaining four isolates were not determined. The reference Acanthamoeba polyphaga strain (ATCC30461) was the control. Moreover, 11 strains (58%) presented growth at 37°C and eight (42%) developed in medium containing 1.5 M mannitol, the physiological parameters associated with pathogenic isolates of Acanthamoeba, whereas fours trains isolated from swimming pool water and one from a patient with keratitisshowed high pathogenic potential. In vivo pathogen city tests, performed with three isolates and the reference strain ATCC 30461, showed that the isolate from a patient with keratitis was considered pathogenic and two environmental isolates, invasive. It was possible to reduce the percentage of fungi and bacteria in a culture plate of the reference strain ATCC 30461 and bacteria in a culture plate of one soil isolate byinoculating them into the peritoneal cavity of mice. Our results indicate a wide distribution of Acanthamoeba spp. isolates similar to genotypes T4, T5, and T2/T6, classified as invasive, isolated from several habitats of Brasília, DF, revealing the potential risk of human infection and the need for preventive measures.

Abstract:

Pouco se conhece da obra de Popper entre os psicólogos à parte alguma informação sobre as suas contribuições à Filosofia da Ciência. Todavia as relações que Popper manteve com a disciplina, seja a sua formação inicial nesta área, ou seus escritos em que abordava matéria psicológica, foram várias e profícuas. Em sua pretensão mais modesta este trabalho é uma retomada do estudo destas relações, entretanto ele pretende não só recapitulá-las, mas também argumentar em favor da atualidade das contribuições de Popper para a Psicologia em diversos níveis: do metateórico à sugestão de hipóteses para testagem empírica. Os principais resultados aos quais a pesquisa conduziu foram: a) o rastreamento de Bühler e Selz como principais influências do campo da Psicologia sobre a obra de Popper. A Psicologia da Aprendizagem de Selz inspirando suas idéias sobre o problema do crescimento do conhecimento, e a solução pluralista de Bühler para a crise da psicologia, associada à sua Teoria da Linguagem, colaborando para a criação do pluralismo metodológico; b) a identificação do pluralismo metodológico popperiano como base de uma epistemologia interacionista. Seu pluralismo tem grande potencial para repercussões na Psicologia, especialmente na forma da Teoria dos Mundos e do papel concedido ao Mundo 3 tanto na constituição do psiquismo, quanto na mediação da relação entre seres autoconscientes; c) as incursões de Popper na Teoria da Evolução, como o modelo popperiano do Dualismo Genético, e a proposição de que seu esquema tetrádico do crescimento do conhecimento pode ser entendido como uma generalização da evolução darwinista enriquecem, colaboram com debate corrente no campo da Psicologia Evolucionista no que se refere ao papel desempenhado pelo comportamento ativo dos organismos na evolução e do alcance do dawinismo universal; d) A idéia de que o eu pode em grande medida ser entendido como um objeto de Mundo 3, com todas as suas propriedades, resulta em um fértil campo de especulação que lança luz sobre problemas contemporâneos em Psicologia Cultural, como o da interobjetividade, e a complementariedade dos processos de internalização e externalização; e) algumas propostas concretas de hipóteses a serem testadas são apresentadas ao conjugar-se a idéia popperiana de que a ciência é a um só tempo uma atividade criativa e crítica, com a perspectiva do Self-Dialógico. Eu- Crítico, e Eu- Criador, poderiam ser entendidos como I-positions dos cientistas concretos; f) a Epistemologia da maturidade de Popper, com sua ênfase na crítica do indutivismo e em determinado ethos científico, podem nos ajuda a enfrentar o problema da Crise da Psicologia. Apesar dos resultados acima não esgotarem toda a possibilidade de diálogo que se pode estabelecer entre a obra de Popper e a Psicologia (pois haveria ainda outros aspectos que poderiam ser abordados, como a relação de Popper com a Psicanálise; o problema do individualismo metodológico e suas conseqüências para a Psicologia Social; novas maneiras de se pensar o inconsciente a partir do entendimento do eu como um objeto do Mundo 3, etc.), acredita-se que o presente trabalho representa ganhos substanciais ao debate teórico acerca das relações que se propõe discutir
Popper oeuvre is mostly unknown among psychologists, besides a piecemeal of information about his contributions to Philosophy of Science. Nevertheless, Popper has always been in close and productive contact with Psychology, since his first academic studies in the area, to his later works on Mind Philosophy. The minor goal of this work is to retake from the History books the study of these relations, although it intends to go further defending their value to the contemporary Psychology, in different levels: from the metalevel, to the formulation of empirically testable hypothesis. The main results of my research are: a) identify Bühler and Selz as the main psychological influences over Poppers work. Selzs Learning Psychology had served as an inspiration to Popper thoughts about the nature of the processes involved on the growth of knowledge, as Bühlers pluralistic solution to the Crisis in Psychology problem, and his also pluralistic Language theory, had helped in the creation of his methodological pluralism; b) pointing Popperian methodological pluralism as the ground to an interactionist epistemology. His pluralism has great potential repercussions to Psychology mainly the form of his Worlds Theory, and the role given to the third world in the constitution of the psyche and mediation of the communication of sentient beings; c) Poppers flirts with evolutionary theory, as the genetic dualism model, and the proposition that his knowledge growth scheme could be understood as a general formula of the Darwinian evolution, contribute to the current discussion in Evolutionary Psychology about the role of the active behavior of the organism upon the evolutionary pathways, and the reach of the universal darwinism; d) the idea that the I can be understood as a world 3 object, results in a fertile field of speculation on contemporary Cultural Psychology problematic, as the concept of interobjectivity and the complementary nature of internalization and externalization processes; e) some concrete proposal of empirical testable hypothesis are presented trying to connect the Popperian idea that the scientific activity is at the same time a creative an critic activity with the Dialogical-Self perspective. I- Critic and I-Creator could be taken as concrete scientists I-positions; f) Poppers maturity philosophy, with its emphasis on the criticism of inductivism and in the prescription of a certain scientific ethos, can help us to face the old problem of the Crisis of Psychology. Although the results present dont exhaust all the possibility of dialogue between Poppers work and psychological inquiry (once there still being other aspects that could be explored, as the relationship among Popper end Psychoanalysis; the problem of the methodological individualism and its consequences to the Social Psychology; new ways to look at the unconscious from the Popperian assumption of the world 3 nature of the Self), we believe the present work represents substantian improvements to the theoretical debate about the relationships it discuss

Abstract:

Nesse trabalho temos como objetivo simular diversos estágios da ameba Dictyostelium discoideum durante o seu ciclo de vida social. Tal organismo apresenta um ciclo de vida típico no qual se comporta como uma ameba Eucarionte, alimentando-se de bactérias e dividindo-se por mitose. É quando as fontes de nutrientes no ambiente se tornam escarças que tem início o ciclo de vida social no qual as amebas começam a emitir um sinal químico que guiará as mesmas com objetivo de formar agregados com aproximadamente 50 mil amebas. Dentro de tal agregado as amebas se diferenciam e formam um ser pluricelular na forma de uma lesma que tem como objetivo transportar as amebas para uma região com maior probabilidade de sobrevivência. Para simular tal organismo iremos mesclar dois modelos diferentes para reproduzir a sinalização química entre as amebas e o seu movimento. O modelo utilizado para descrever a sinalização química do composto Adenosina Monofosfato cíclico 3'5' foi desenvolvido de acordo com a análise dos processos bioquímicos envolvidos e os parâmetros foram obtidos experimentalmente. A movimentação das amebas é implementada através de um modelo de animóides com velocidade fixa onde o ângulo de movimento varia de acordo com regras simples que já provaram ser eficientes na simulação desde grupos de animais a processos de segregação celular. Nessa tese mostraremos como o método utilizado para resolver o modelo de sinalização química não é somente mais eficiente numericamente, como também é capaz de apresentar diversas das propriedades da ameba vistas nos experimentos até o momento da agregação, entre elas: sincronização; adaptação; formação de espirais; padrões de reação difusão. Ao implementarmos o movimento das amebas verificamos outras propriedades como: caminhos preferenciais de deslocamento até o centro do agregado (streaming); formação de mound e movimento coletivo circular. Nesse trabalho além de conseguirmos unir diversas propriedades em um único modelo, também conseguimos demonstrar que a origem do movimento helicoidal coletivo das amebas dentro da lesma pode ser proveniente de simples propriedades físicas ao contrário de algumas vertentes que afirmam ser proveniente da quimiotaxia em um sistema com ondas de sinal químico helicoidal.
In this work we aim to simulate different stages of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum through its social cycle. This organism has a typical life cycle in which it behaves like an Eukaryotic amoeba, feeding on bacteria and reproducing through mitosis. It is when the sources of nutrients in the environment become scarce that the social cycle begins. In this cycle the amoebae start to emit a chemical signal that will guide them to form aggregates with approximately 50 thousand amoebae. Within such aggregate the amoebae differentiate themselves to create a multicellular being in the form of a slug, which aims to transport the amoebae to a region with a higher probability of survival. In order to simulate such organism we have merged two different models to reproduce the chemical signaling among amoebae and their movement. The model chosen to describe the chemical signaling of the compound cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate 3'5' has ben developed according to the biochemical processes and the parameters obtained experimentally. The amoebae movement is implemented through a boids model with fixed speed where the angle of movement varies according to simple rules that have proven effective in other simulations of animal groups and cellular segregation. In this thesis we show how the method used to solve the model chemical signaling is not only numerically more efficient, but also capable of reproducing several properties of the amoeba seen in experiments until the aggregation stage, including: synchroniiation, adaptation, spiral formation and reaction-diffusion patterns. Upon implementation of amoeba movement we verified other properties such as streaming, mound formation and collective rotational movement. In this thesis we in addition to uniting several properties in a single model, were also able to demonstrate that the origin of the helicoidal movement within the slug can come from simple physical properties, in contrast to some studies which claim the origin to be from chemotaxis in a system with scroll waves of chemical signaling.

Abstract:

L'objectif de ce travail de thèse était d'étudier les effets de l'hyperthermie sur la proprioception et leurs répercussions sur la cinématique de la course à pied. Nous avons élaboré un protocole expérimental composé de deux études pour répondre à cette question. La première expérimentation a exploré l'hyperthermie induite en mode passif et son effet sur la proprioception. Notre hypothèse était que les perturbations neuromusculaires induites par une hyperthermie passive générale pourraient affecter la proprioception et l'équilibre. 14 participants ont réalisé une série de tests de la fonction neuromusculaire ainsi que des tests de proprioception et d'équilibre statique et dynamique dans une chambre environnementale en conditions chaude (44°C-50°C) et contrôle (24°C). Les résultats de cette 1ère étude ont montré qu'une augmentation de la température rectale (39.0°C vs. 36.9°C) et cutanée (37.9°C vs. 32°C) en ambiance chaude par rapport à la situation de contrôle était associée à une réduction de l'amplitude du reflexe H, une diminution de l'acuité proprioceptive et des perturbations de l'équilibre statique et dynamique. Ces résultats suggèrent que l'hyperthermie passive détériore la proprioception et l'équilibre, ce qui pourrait affecter le geste sportif. Afin d'explorer les effets de l'hyperthermie active sur la proprioception, nous avons par la suite réalisé le test de proprioception active chez 12 coureurs entrainés avant et après un test de 30 minutes en course à pied dans des conditions chaude (39°C) et contrôle (22°C). Les résultats de cette étude ont montré une augmentation plus importante des contraintes thermiques, perceptives et cardiovasculaires en ambiance chaude comparé à la condition tempérée. En plus, nous avons observé une diminution de l'acuité proprioceptive suite à l'exercice en ambiance chaude mais pas tempérée. Ces résultats montrent que les altérations identifiées en situation d'hyperthermie passive lors de la première étude sont également spécifiques à un exercice en ambiance chaude. Lors de ce protocole expérimental, nous avons également exploré les répercussions de ces perturbations de la proprioception sur la cinématique de la course à pied. Pour ce faire, les paramètres spatio-temporels et cinématiques angulaires de la foulée ont été mesurés à vitesse constante (i.e., 70% de la vitesse maximale aérobie) lors de la première et dernière minute de l'exercice (la vitesse étant librement choisie de la 2ème à la 29ème minute). Nous avons ainsi montré une diminution de la fréquence et une augmentation de la longueur des foulées avec la fatigue dans les deux conditions ; accompagnée de changement des paramètres angulaires limités à un redressement du bassin et une diminution de l'angle de la cheville. Cependant, Il n'y avait aucun effet de la condition thermique ou d'interaction entre la fatigue et l'environnement thermique pour les paramètres spatio-temporels et cinématiques angulaires. Ces résultats suggèrent que l'hyperthermie induite par un exercice de course à pied affecte la proprioception de la cheville, mais que cette altération n'affecte pas la cinématique de la course à pied. Suite à ces travaux, nous pouvons donc conclure que la proprioception est affectée par l'hyperthermie induite soit par des méthodes passives ou actives. Ces altérations pourraient provenir des effets de l'hyperthermie sur les fonctions neuromusculaire et cognitive. Cependant, la dégradation de l'acuité proprioceptive avec une augmentation de la température rectale au-delà de 39°C n'affecte pas la cinématique de la course à pied, ce qui suggère une forte stabilité du pattern de course malgré une proprioception et des fonctions neuromusculaires affectées
The objective of this PhD was to investigate the effects of hyperthermia on proprioception and their impact on running gait kinematics. We developed an experimental protocol consisting of two studies to answer this question.The first experiment explored passive hyperthermia and its effects on proprioception and balance. We hypothesized that neuromuscular disturbances induced by passive hyperthermia would impair proprioception and balance. 14 participants performed a series of tests of neuromuscular function, proprioception, as well as static and dynamic balance in an environmental chamber under hot (44°C - 50°C) and control (24°C) conditions. The results of this first study showed that an increase in rectal (39.0°C vs. 36.9°C) and skin (37.9°C vs. 32°C) temperatures in hot compared to control ambient conditions was associated with a reduction in the amplitude of the Hoffman reflex, a decrease in the proprioceptive acuity and impairments in static and dynamic balance. These results suggest that passive hyperthermia deteriorates proprioception and balance, something that could potentially affect sports movement. ln order to explore the effects of active hyperthermia on proprioception, we subsequently performed the active discrimination test in 12 trained runners before and just after a 30-minute running time-trials under hot (39°C) and control (22°C) conditions. The results of this study showed a larger increase in thermal, perceptual and cardiovascular stresses when running in the heat as compared to running in a temperate environment. ln addition, we observed a decrease in proprioceptive acuity following exercising in the heat only. This showed that the proprioceptive impairments identified during the first study are also present following exercise-induced hyperthermia, but not exercise-induced fatigue without hyperthermia. During this study, we have also explored the impact of hyperthermia-induced alterations in proprioception on running gait kinematics. To do so, we measured angular kinematics and spatiotemporal stride parameters at a constant speed (i.e., 70% of the maximum aerobic speed) during the first and last minute of the exercise (whilst speed was freely chosen from the 2nd to the 29th minute). Results showed that fatigue decreased step frequency and increase step length under both conditions, along inducing a few little changes in the angular kinematic parameters limited to an increase of the PELVlS angle and a decrease of the ANKLE angle. However, no interaction effect was found for any of the spatiotemporal or angular stride parameters. These results suggest that exercise-induced hyperthermia impairs ankle proprioception, but that this alteration does not affect running kinematics. ln summary, proprioception is affected by hyperthermia induced either by passive or active methods. These alterations could be due to the effects of hyperthermia on neuromuscular and cognitive functions. However, the degradation of proprioceptive acuity with an increase in rectal temperature above 39 °C does not affect the kinematics of running, suggesting that running pattern remains stable despite proprioception and neuromuscular functions impairments

Abstract:

Lesões na parte ventral do núcleo anteromedial do tálamo (AMv) interferem no processamento da memória aversiva predatória sem no entanto influenciar as respostas de defesa inatas do animal frente a um predador. O escopo deste trabalho foi entender melhor o papel do AMv e investigar se seus alvos de projeção corticais também interferem no processamento da memória aversiva. No primeiro experimento detectamos que o AMv participa da aquisição da memória aversiva. As áreas corticais pré-límbica, cingulada anterior, visual anteromedial e retroesplenial ventral, recebem e integram entre si projeções oriundas do AMv, além de enviar projeções para a amígdala e hipocampo. Estas áreas corticais estão seletivamente recrutadas durante a exposição ao predador, e observamos que lesões neuroquímicas afetaram severamente a formação da memória aversiva. Nossos dados sugerem que há um circuito de áreas corticais que está criticamente envolvido no processo mnemônico aqui abordado, e fornece as primeiras evidências para a hipótese de módulos corticais a partir do conectoma do rato.
Neurochemical lesions placed into ventral part of anteromedial thalamic nucleus (AMv) disrupt contextual, but not innate, fear responses to predatory threats. In the present investigation, we determined whether the AMv is involved in the acquisition and/or retrieval of the conditioned responses, and if its cortical targets are involved in the fear memory processing. In the first assay, we found that AMv has a critical role in the acquisition of conditioned responses. The cortical areas prelimbic (PL), anterior cingulate area (ACA), anteromedial visual area (VISam) and the ventral part of retrosplenial area (RSPv), receive projections from AMv and are recruited during predator exposure. The integrity of these cortical areas is required for the processing of the mnemonic processes here addressed. Our data corroborate current ideas on functional cortical modules, and help to elucidate how they are involved in the acquisition of fear memories related to life threatening situations.

Abstract:

Introdução: A parasitologia humana é o estudo dos parasitas ou das doenças parasitárias humanas. Nos últimos anos, a investigação e o tratamento dessas doenças receberam interesse renovado, pois, acomete grande parte da população, em sua maioria por razões como ausência de saneamento, dentre outros fatores. Objetivo: O presente trabalho objetivou realizar um levantamento dos tipos de parasitas humanos mais frequentes na cidade de São Paulo de Olivença, Amazonas. Material e métodos: Realizou-se uma pesquisa de caráter quantitativo, além da coleta de informações via aplicativo celular. O levantamento dos dados coletados foi obtido no segundo semestre de 2020, no laboratório de análises clínicas do hospital Santa Izabel no município mencionado. O procedimento utilizado para identificação de helmintos e protozoários foi o método direto, que consiste em visualizar a motilidade de trofozoítos dos protozoários em fezes recém emitidas, posteriormente analisadas em microscópio. Resultados: As espécies parasitárias encontradas nas amostras de exame parasitológico de fezes (EPF), realizadas no laboratório da cidade, com maior ocorrência, foram: ascaridíase (A. lumbricoides), 66 casos; ameba (E. histolytica), 104 casos; bactéria bacilar (E. coli), 14 casos; verme do chicote (T. trichiura), 63 casos; amarelão (Ancilostomídeo), 3 casos; ameba não patogênica, amebíase (I. Butschlii), 12 casos; lambliose (G. lamblia), 5 casos; e ameba (E. nana), 1 caso; está por sua vez é a menor das vermes intestinais que infetam os humanos. Conclusão: Com 268 casos de ocorrência, uma das grandes razões que levam a esse número de doenças, está relacionada diretamente com a questão social. Os pacientes que possuem mais casos de verminose, encontram-se nos bairros ou comunidades ribeirinhas onde o saneamento básico é precário.
