ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a small-scale biomass gasification system within the context of a cooperative wine cellar operation in the Western Cape of South Africa. Central to this goal was the questions whether the time for the implementation of such small-scale renewable energy technologies in South Africa has arrived, in light of the status quo which has changed drastically from the days of abundant and cheap coal-based electricity, and whether the new opportunities afforded by the CDM can help foster financial feasibility. There are various macro-drivers contributing to the current-day emphasis on renewable energy and cogeneration projects. The first and most pressing driver is the global climate change imperative, while the others include the increased aspiration of countries towards energy security, the realization of the importance of sustainable development and the subsequent renewable energy policies that falls within the ambit of sustainable development. Small-scale biomass gasification technology still poses some challenges, particularly when it comes to the gasification of agricultural residues, as with grape residues in the case of this project. The most important technical feasibility problem to overcome is the low ash agglomeration temperature of grape residues reported in the literature. Although the local equipment manufacturer foresees no problem in this regard with their system design - since they have conducted tests on sunflower seed residues, which have similar ash properties, without experiencing any agglomeration problems - the seriousness of this aspect will be confirmed during pilot trials. In order to be eligible for emissions reduction trading under the CDM, the project must adequately demonstrate that the emissions reductions are additional to the business-as-usual scenario, in both the environmental and financial sense. The project will satisfy the environmental additionality requirement, since in its absence the wine cellar will continue its full reliance on coal-based electricity from the grid. Financial additionality, in its strictest sense, requires for the project to be infeasible if it does not pursue CDM participation, which the financial feasibility modeling results indicated to be true in this case. A feasibility model was developed to - subject to the input parameter values assumed and basic assumptions made - be able to assess the financial viability of the project. The main assumptions were that the private feed-in into the national electricity grid was available to all IPPs, in spite of the fact that in its Medium Term Power Purchase Program me (MTPPP) of May 2008 Eskom had only requested expressions of interest from IPPs that had a generating capacity of 5MW and higher to install private base load capacity. This assumption is commensurate with the country's renewable energy targets and the official government aim of achieving a 30% contribution from IPPs to the national electricity mix. The second assumption was that the 65 to lOOclkWh offered by Eskom in its MTPPP will be applicable to sub-SMWe IPPs as well (Creamer, 2008), and that this lower bound electricity price of 65clkWh can be applied over the whole project lifetime. Inherent to this assumption is the further supposition that the progressive decline of electricity prices to an eventual level of 35clkWh by 2018 foreseen by Eskom will not materialize, due both to the sustained pressure an expanding South African economy will put on the considerable but time-consuming supply-side initiatives launched by Eskom, and the likelihood for price premiums to be introduced for clean electricity in order to meet the country's renewable energy targets. From the assumed input parameter values the initial capital and COM expenditures, operating revenues and costs over the project lifetime were determined, and then used to calculate the net cash flows, where after the NPV was computed to serve as the deciding criterion on financial feasibility. A discount rate of 18% was assumed, corresponding with the subjectively judged risks that the project posed as a small-scale renewable energy system within the wine cellar operations. In the case where the project excluded all CDM aspects, the NPV was negative at - ZAR342 573, but this improved to ZAR325 193 if the project participated in the CDM. Thus it was concluded that the project will only be financially feasible if it includes CDM participation, and that this positive contribution can be leveraged by pursuing a programmatic CDM approach. This entails the development of this project as part of a larger program in which similar projects are implemented as they arise, up to the official UN limit of 15MWe in total to still qualify as a small-scale program. The nature of the assumptions that form the backbone of this study indicate that the positive financial feasibility result in the case where the project includes COM participation will become practically relevant only over the short- to medium-term as these assumptions become reality in South Africa. Therefore, although the time for such small-scale renewable energy projects has clearly not arrived as yet, it would seem that it is indeed around the corner.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die mikpunt van die navorsing was om die lewensvatbaarheid van 'n klein-skaal biomassa vergassing sisteem binne die konteks van 'n kooperatiewe wynkelder in die Wes-Kaap van Suid-Afrika te ondersoek. 'n Sentrale aspek was die vrae of die tyd aangebreek het om klein-skaal volhouhare energie projekte in Suid-Afrika tot uitvoering te bring, gesien in die lig van 'n status quo wat drasties weg beweeg het van die tydperk toe elektrisiteit volop en goedkoop was, en of die geleentheid wat die CDM bied sulke projekte finansieel lewensvatbaar kan maak. Daar is verskeie eksterne makro-drywers wat bydrae tot die huidige fokus op sulke volhoubare energie projekte. Hieronder tel globale klimaatsverandering as die dringendste drywer, terwyl die res onder andere die hernuwe strewe van lande tot verbeterde energie-sekuriteit, die besef van die belangrikheid van volhoubare ontwikkeling en die daaropvolgende volhoubare energie beleid stappe insluit. Daar bestaan nog etlike tegniese uitdagings tot die toepassing van klein-skaal biomassa vergassing tegnologie, spesifiek met betrekking tot die vergassing van afval landbou byprodukte, soos wat die geval is met druiwe afval in hierdie projek. Die belangrikste tegniese uitvoerbaarheids-aspek wat aandag verg is die lae smeltpunt van druifafval-as wat in die literatuur rapporteer word. Alhoewel die plaaslike toerustings-vervaardiger nie enige probleme in hierdie verhand voorsien nie, aangesien toetse met sonneblom afval - met as-eienskappe rofweg identies aan die van druiwe-afval - geen smelting van die as getoon het nie, sal dit tog nogsteeds aan verdere toetse onderwerp word. Vir die projek om te kwalifiseer as geskik vir verhandeling in kweekhuisgas vermindering deur middel van die COM, moet dit voldoende bewys kan word dat alle uitlaatgas vermindering addisioneel is tot wat die geval sou wees in die gewone gang van besigheid. Hierdie addisionaliteit is relevant in beide 'n omgewings- en finansiele sin. Hierdie projek sal orngewings-addisionaliteit bevredig deurdat die wynkelder in sy afwesigheid volkome afhanklik van die steenkool-gebaseerde elektrisiteit vanaf die nasionale netwerk sou bly, terwyl finansiele addisionaliteit bewys is deur die finansiele lewensvatbaarheids-model wat getoon het dat die projek slegs ekonomies uitvoerbaar sal wees indien dit CDM deelname insluit. Die lewensvatbaarheids-model is ontwikkel om die ekonomiese uitvoerbaarheid van die projek te evalueer, onderworpe aan die aangenome inset parameter waardes en basiese aannames in die studie. Die hoof-aanname was naamlik dat privaat terugvoer in die nasionale elektrisiteits-netwerk vir alle grootte IPPs moontlik is, ten spyte van die feit dat Eskom se MTPPP van Mei 2008 slegs kapasiteite van 5MW en groter aanvaar bet. Hierdie aanname is gebaseer op Suid-Afrika se volhoubare energie teikens en die regering se offisiele mikpunt om 30% van alle krag-voorsiening vanaf IPPs te bekom. Die tweede hoof-aanname was dat die 65 tot 100clkWh wat Eskom in sy MTPPP aangebied het, ook van toepassing sal wees op sub-SMW IPPs (Creamer, 2008), en dat die laer prys-limiet van 65c/kWb oor die hele projek-leeftyd toegepas kon word. Inherent tot hierdie aanname is die verdere veronderstelling dat die progressiewe daling in elektrisiteits-pryse tot 'n eventuele vlak van 35clkWh voorsien deur Eskom nie sal realiseer nie, beide as gevolg van die volgehoue druk wat die groeiende Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie op die aansieniike, maar tydrowende, opwekkings-kapasiteit uitbreidings van Eskom behoort te plaas, en ook die hoe waarskynlikheid dat prys premiums vir skoon elektrisiteit ingestel word sodat Suid-Afrika sy volboubare energie telkens kan bereik. Die aanvanklike kapitaal en CDM uitgawes, en bedryfsuitgawes en - inkomstes oor die projekleeftyd is vanaf die aangenome inset parameter waardes afgelei, waarop die NPV van die projek uitgewerk is om te dien as die beslissende maatstaf van ekonomiese haalbaarheid. 'n Diskontokoers van 18% is gebruik, ooreenstemmend met die subjektief beraamde risikos wat die projek inhou as 'n klein-skaal volhoubare energie sisteem. Die resultate van die finansiele lewensvatbaarheids-model het getoon dat in die geval waar die projek geen CDM aspekte bevat nie, die NPV hoogs negatief sou wees met 'n waarde van -ZAR342 573, terwyl dit verbeter na ZAR325 193 as die projek CDM deelname insluit. Die gevolgtrekking is dus gemaak dat die spesifieke projek slegs ekonomies haalbaar sal wees indien dit wel CDM deelname insluit, en dat hierdie positiewe finansiele bydrae van die CDM geoptimaliseer kan word deur 'n programmatiese CDM benadering te volg. Dit behels die ontwikkeling van die projek as deel van 'n groter program waarin soortgelyke projekte mettertyd geimplementeer word soos hulle ontstaan, tot by die offisiele VN limiet van 15MWe om sodoende nog te kwalifiseer as 'n algehele klein-skaalse program. Die aard van die hoof-aannames in hierdie studie is indikatief dat die positiewe finansiele lewensvatbaarheid in die geval waar die projek CDM deelname insluit, eers oor die kort- tot medium-termyn prakties relevant sal word soos die aannames bevredig word. Dus, alhoewel die era van klein-skaalse volhoubare energie projekte nog nie aangebreek het in Suid-Afrika nie, lyk dit tog asof dit om die draai is.

A ativação dos fagócitos é crítica para a defesa contra vários patógenos, por isso a importância de estudos que desenvolvam alternativas para a ativação dessas células. Nosso estudo visou investigar os efeitos do BAY 41-2272 na ativação de fagócitos. Para este propósito avaliamos a fagocitose, liberação de superóxido e atividade microbicida. Foram usados PBMC, neutrófilos e a linhagem celular THP-1, cultivadas na presença ou ausência de BAY 41-2272 (1mM ou 3mM) por 1h ou 48h a 37°C. A liberação de superóxido foi avaliada pelo ensaio da redução do citocromo c inibido especificamente pela superóxido dismutase; a fagocitose foi analisada através da co-cultura com partículas de Zymosan e contagem das células com partículas englobadas; e a atividade microbicida foi mensurada por meio da co-cultura com E. coli enteropatogênica seguida pela contagem das CFU formadas pelas bactérias recuperadas dos fagócitos. Além disso, fizemos a dosagem de IL-12, IFN-g e TNF-a e a análise da expressão gênica do gene CYBB. Todos os tipos celulares responderam aos tratamentos. Os PBMC, neutrófilos e THP-1 tratados com BAY 41-2272 produziram significativamente mais superóxido (cerca de 50% mais), e apresentaram significativamente maior atividade fagocítica (cerca de 54% mais), microbicida (cerca do dobro) comparados ao grupo controle não tratado, além de produzir TNFa. Ainda, o tratamento com o fármaco aumentou a expressão do gene da gp91phox nas THP-1 e PBMC. BAY 41-2272, especialmente na dose de 3mM, mostrou um grande potencial na ativação dos fagócitos em vários aspectos. Este potencial pode ser explorado na busca por novas terapias destinadas ao controle de infecções, principalmente no caso das imunodeficiências.
Phagocyte activation is critical role for host defense against several pathogens, so that studies developing alternatives for activating these cell are very important. We investigated the effects of BAY 41-2272 on phagocytes activation. For this purpose we evaluated several aspects indicating cellular activation, as phagocytosis, superoxide release and microbicidal activity. We used PBMC, neutrophils and THP-1 cell lineage cultured or not with BAY 41-2272 (1mM and 3mM) for 1h or 48h at 37°C. Superoxide release was tested by superoxide dismutase-inhibitable cytochrome c reduction assay; phagocytosis was evaluated through co-culture with zymosan particles and counting of ingested particles; and microbicidal activity was measured through co-incubation with enteropathogenic E. coli followed by counting of CFU from recovered bacteria from phagocytes. We analyzed the IL-12, IFN-g and TNF-a cytokine production and gp91phox gene expression. All cell types showed a response to treatments. PBMC, PMN and THP-1 treated with BAY 41-2272 produced significantly more superoxide (about 50% more), and presented significantly more phagocytic (about 54% more), microbicidal (about twice) activity than control group and production more TNF-a than control group. The expression of CYBB gene was more expressed on treated cells than control. BAY 41-2272, especially at 3mM, showed a great potential in activation of phagocytes in several aspects. This potential should be investigated at the light of new therapies seeking infection control, mainly in immunodeficiency.

A Crista Neural (CN) constitui uma população de células que emergem a partir das pregas dorsais do neuroepitélio durante a neurulação. Estas células migram ao longo de todo o eixo antero-posterior embrionário dos vertebrados até encontrarem seus locais definidos onde irão diferenciar em diversos derivados neurais e mesenquimais. As células da CN cefálica (CNC) e da CN Truncal (CNT) podem dar origem a neurônios e células gliais do sistema nervoso periférico, melanócitos e células endócrinas. Diferentemente do que ocorre com a CNC, a CNT possui uma limitada capacidade de originar elementos mesenquimais in vivo. Entretanto, sob determinadas condições in vitro, a CNT pode originar fenótipos mesenquimais. Até o momento, a maior parte dos estudos com a CNT foram realizados sobre substratos bidimensionais (2D), geralmente revestidos moléculas isoladas da matriz extracelular (colágeno, laminina, fibronectina) ou sobre monocamadas de fibroblastos embrionários (3T3). Atualmente, sabe-se que este tipo de ambiente não reflete a complexa fisiologia dos tecidos in vivo. No presente estudo nós realizamos cultivos de células isoladas da CNT sobre um extrato solúvel da membrana basal, comumente denominado de Matrigel. Elaboramos uma metodologia que permitiu criar dois microambientes dentro do mesmo poço de cultivo: um ambiente bidimensional (2D) e um ambiente tridimensional (3D). Verificamos que o Matrigel permite a diferenciação dos principais fenótipos da CNT (neurais: células gliais, células musculares lisas, neurônios, melanócitos e mesenquimais: condrócitos). Embora tenham sido observadas algumas variações na obtenção dos fenótipos descritos conforme o lote de Matrigel utilizado, o uso de uma mistura destes lotes permitiu normalizar a frequência de poços de cultivo contendo cada tipo celular. Além disso, 70% dos poços de cultivo apresentavam nódulos de cartilagem, os quais frequentemente se encontravam na região 3D. Interessantemente, esta frequência de condrócitos detectada utilizando um microambiente 3D de Matrigel, resultou ser muito maior quando comparado a trabalhos anteriores realizados sobre ambientes 2D convencionais. Estes dados sugerem que o Matrigel pode ser um ótimo substrato para estudar a diferenciação e multipotencialidade das células da CN.
Abstract : The Neural Crest (NC) is a cell population that detach from dorsal neural folds during neurulation. These cells migrate along the entire vertebrate embryonic axis until they find their final destination and differentiate into both neural and mesenchymal phenotypes. Cephalic NC (CNC) and Trunk NC cells (TNCCs) give rise to neurons and glia from the peripheral nervous system, melanocytes and endocrine cells. Differently from CNC, TNC have a limited capacity to give rise to mesenchymal derivatives in vivo. Nevertheless, under special culture conditions, TNC can give rise to mesenchymal phenotypes. Until now, most of studies of TNC were conducted on 2D substrates, usually covered with extracellular matrix molecules (e.g. collagen, laminin, fibronectin) or under fibroblast feeder-layers (3T3). Nowadays, it is worth knowing that this kind of environment does not mimic the complex tissue physiology in vivo. In the present study, we conducted cell cultures isolated from TNC on a soluble extract of basal membrane, commonly named Matrigel. We performed a new methodology that permitted to create two microenvironments in the same culture well: a two-dimensional (2D) and a three-dimensional (3D) environment. We observed that Matrigel permits the differentiation of the main TNC phenotypes (glial cells, melanocytes, smooth muscle cells, neurons and chondrocytes). Even though we observed some described variations on the phenotypes obtained according to the Matrigel lot used, the use of a mixture of lots allowed normalizing the frequency of culture wells containing each cell type. Moreover, 70% of culture wells contained cartilage nodules, which were frequently on the 3D zone. Interestingly, this frequency of chondrocytes detected using a 3D microenvironment of Matrigel resulted even higher than previous reports performed on traditional 2D cultures. Together, this data suggest that Matrigel could be an excellent substrate to study NC differentiation and multipotenciality.

Typdetaljer för olika byggnadsdelar som finns tillgängliga på internet och i böcker är idag begränsade i sin utformning. Terrasstak och källarväggar har båda en utmanande konstruktion där det ställs höga krav på utformning då de är husets skydd mot det yttre klimatet. Uppdragsgivaren WSP hade upplevt ett problem med att konstruktörer på företaget ritade olika vid projektering av dessa typer av detaljer. Företaget ville därför hitta en metod där konstruktörerna kunde utgå från samma typdetaljer. Syftet med detta arbete var att underlätta kvalitetssäkringen av konstruktionsdetaljer vid projektering av terrasstak och källarväggar genom att skapa ett underlag att utgå ifrån. Målet blev då att framställa tydliga typdetaljer med tillhörande teknisk beskrivning. Genom litteraturstudier, projektgranskningar, samtal med konstruktörer och experter på och utanför företaget har underlag insamlats. Ett underlag som sedan legat till grund för analys och slutsats. Analys och slutsats genomfördes utifrån ett livslängdsperspektiv med fokus på aspekterna; byggbarhet, fuktsäkerhet, robusthet och kostnad. Resultatet visade tydligt att konstruktörerna ritat dessa detaljer olika och att de inte alltid har kunnat motivera sina val. Resultatet visade också att gällande terrasstak är det omvända konceptet det bästa ur livslängdssynpunkt och för källarväggar är det viktigt att väggen hålls varm och torr. För både källarväggar och terrasstak råder flera olika förutsättningar som påverkat framtagningen av typdetaljer. Slutligen resulterade arbetet i två typdetaljer för terrasstak och tre för källarväggar.
Construction details available on the Internet and in books for various building components are today limited in their design. Terraces and cellar walls both have a challenging construction where high demands are made, as they are the house's protection against the external climate.   The initiator WSP had experienced a problem that designers at the company designed differently when designing these types of details. The company therefore wanted to find a method where the designers could use the same type details as guidance.   The purpose of this work was to facilitate the quality assurance of design details when designing terrace roofs and cellar walls by creating a basis for starting. The goal was then to produce clear construction details with an accompanying technical description.   Through literature studies, project reviews, conversations with designers and experts on and outside the company, information has been collected to a sufficient extent as a basis for analysis and conclusion. Analysis and conclusion were conducted based on a longevity perspective focusing on the aspects; constructability, moisture safety, robustness and cost. The result clearly showed that the designers at the office designed these details differently and that they could not always justify their choices. The result also showed that the terrace roof as per the reverse concept is the best solution according to the longevity perspective, and for cellar walls is the important aspects to keep the wall dry and warm. For both cellar walls and terraces, there are different conditions that affect the production of construction details. This eventually led to two types construction details of terrace roofs and three for cellar walls.

O álcool atua no organismo podendo trazer várias doenças, entretanto sua ação no tecido ósseo ainda apresenta resultados controversos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do consumo crônico de álcool a 20% em osteoblastos obtidos da calvária de ratos recém-nascidos. Foram utilizadas 18 ratas prenhas, tratadas durante a gestação e divididas em grupos conforme a dieta: álcool a 20%, grupo isocalórico, e controle. Aos três dias de vida, os recém-nascidos foram eutanasiados para remoção da calvária e isolamento das células por meio de digestão enzimática sequencial, sendo estas cultivadas por períodos de até 14 dias. Foram realizados testes para avaliar o efeito do álcool na adesão, proliferação e viabilidade celular, no conteúdo de proteína total, na atividade da fosfatase alcalina e nas formações nodulares de matriz mineralizada. Os resultados mostraram que em geral, a adesão celular não foi influenciada pelo consumo crônico de álcool, já que não foi demonstrada diferença estatística entre os grupos. Contudo, o grupo álcool apresentou aumento significativo na proliferação, exceto no período de 1 dia, e nas formações nodulares. Com relação a viabilidade celular, apenas no período de 3 dias houve aumento significativo de células no grupo álcool. Os valores representativos de proteína total variaram dependendo do período estudado, sendo maior no grupo controle com 7 dias, porém aos 14 dias houve maior média nos grupos isocalórico e álcool. Quanto à fosfatase alcalina observamos aumento de sua atividade nos grupos álcool e isocalórico em todos os períodos. Concluímos que nesta metodologia, o álcool não apresentou efeito deletério para os osteoblastos, talvez pelo curto tempo de administração
The alcohol affects the organism and may cause various diseases, even though its effects on bone metabolism are still controversial. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the effects of alcohol 20% chronic consumption in osteoblasts obtained from the calvaria of newborn mice. The alcohol was administrated to pregnant mice throughout the entire pregnancy. For that purpose, 18 mice were used, divided in groups according to the diet: 6 receiving alcohol 20%, 6 belonging to the isocaloric group and 6 receiving water and ration at will. At three days of life, the newborns were euthanized so as to remove the calvaria and start the cell culture procedures. The osteoblastic lineage cells were isolated by sequential enzymatic digestion and the osteoblasts were cultivated for periods of 14 days or less. Tests were performed on the culture slides to evaluate the effect of alcohol based on adhesion, proliferation and cellular viability on total protein content, alkaline phosphatase activity and nodule formation of mineralized matrix. The results have shown that the alcohol group presented significant increase in proliferation, except for the period of one day, and in nodule formation. A significant increase in the alcohol group concerning cellular viability was only observed in the period of 3 days and there was no statistic difference in adhesion. The total protein content was higher in the control group in 7 days, and the average higher in the isocaloric and alcohol groups in 14 days, according to the periods of time studied. An increase in the activity of the alkaline phosphatase was observed in the isocaloric and alcohol groups in all periods of evaluation. By this methodology, we have concluded that the alcohol has not presented any deleterious effect on osteoblasts, possibly due to the short period of administration

Resumo: Transplantes autoplásticos de células-tronco periféricas (CTP) já vêm sendo realizados há algum tempo, tendo mostrado algumas vantagens em relação aos transplantes do mesmo tipo que utilizam medula óssea. Dentre estas vantagens, destaca-se a capacidade das CTP de produzir uma "pega" mais rápida do enxerto, encurtando o período de aplasia de medula óssea que se segue ao condicionamento do paciente. A coleta de CTP por aférese oferece maior conforto ao doador, que não precisa ser submetido à anestesia geral e às numerosas punções da crista ilíaca necessárias à obtenção do número de células suficientes para o transplante. Apesar das evidentes vantagens observadas no cenário autoplástico, a aplicação da mesma técnica aos transplantes alogênicos só se iniciou no começo dos anos 90. Este retardo se deveu ao temor de que os enxertos de CTP alogênicas, mais ricos em células T imunocompetentes, pudessem acarretar aumentos na incidência e gravidade da doença do enxerto-contra-o-hospedeiro (DECH). Outro empecilho à realização desses transplantes é a ecessidade de mobilização das CTP para a circulação sangüínea, que se fez possível nos transplantes autoplásticos, inicialmente, pelo uso de quimioterápicos citotóxicos; tal prática seria eticamente condenável em doadores sadios e, só mais recentemente, os fatores de crescimento hematopoiético humanos, obtidos por tecnologia de recombinação gênica (rhGCSF), ofereceram uma alternativa mais segura para conseguir essa mobilização. Neste estudo, não controlado analisamos os resultados de dezessete transplantes alogênios de CTP, comparando-os com aqueles obtidos em um grupo-controle que recebeu, contemporaneamente, transplantes alogênicos convencionais de medula óssea. O objetivo foi o de se estudar, comparativamente, o perfil de "pega" dos enxertos de CTP, assim como a morbidade associada ao procedimento. Para tanto, foram comparados vários parâmetros entre os dois grupos, que incluíram: tempo de "pega" do enxerto, tempo de permanência no hospital após o transplante, necessidade de transfusões, número de dias em uso de antimicrobianos ou nutrição parenteral, níveis séricos máximos de creatinina e bilirrubina, incidência e gravidade de DECH aguda, entre outros. Procuramos avaliar ainda os eventuais efeitos colaterais a curto prazo do rhG-CSF nos doadores. Os resultados mostraram que a incidência e gravidade da DECH aguda foram comparáveis entre os dois grupos, assim como a morbidade geral relacionada ao transplante. De fato, os transplantes com CTP apresentaram "pega" mais rápida e permitiram alta hospitalar mais precoce. A mobilização de CTP pelo uso de rhG-CSF e sua obtenção por sessões únicas de aférese mostraram-se, no período estudado, livres de efeitos colaterais ou complicações clínicas sérias para os doadores. O número de células foi suficiente para garantir a "pega" e estabilidade do enxerto em todos os pacientes, não se observando rejeições ou "falhas de pega". Aparentemente, as vantagens oferecidas pelas CTP em transplantes autoplástiéos também se aplicam aos transplantes alogênicos. Os resultados sugerem ser a técnica viável, porém devem ser interpretados com cautela devido às limitações metodológicas do estudo, que incluem o curto tempo de seguimento dos pacientes e a realização de análise de dados de grupos de pacientes distribuídos sem "randomização"
Abstract: Autologous blood stem celI (BSC) transplantation is already a welI established medical procedure, which has shown some advantages over the use of bone marrow for the same purpose. A faster engraftment rate is observed in these transplants, consequently shortening the period of marrow aplasia that folIows the conditioning phase. Besides, BSC colIection by apheresis offers more cornfort to the donors, avoiding the need for general anesthesia and marrow aspiration in order to obtain sufficient numbers of stem celIs for engraftment. Despite alI these advantages, the use of allogeneic BSC for transplantation did not start until the beginning of the Nineties. The application of the technique had always been hampered by the fear. that BSC grafts, which contain a larger amount of immunocompetent T -celIs, could result in intolerable increases of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) incidence and severity. ColIection ofBSC by apheresis requires that these celIs first be mobilized to the circulation, a task acomplished initially by the use of antinoeplastic cytotoxic drugs. The administration of such agents to healthy donors would be a clearly unnacceptable practice, and, only Tecently, recombinant human hematopoietic growth factors (rhG-CSF) have offered a reasonable alternative for this purpose. In thi~ study, we retrospectively analyze the results of seventeen allogeneic BSC transplants, comparing them to those obtained in a control group of patients who received conventional allogeneic marrow transplants contemporarily fashion. The objective was to study the engraftment profile of the BSC grafts, as welI as the general transplant-associated morbidity. For this purpose, several parameters were assessed and compared between the two groups, including: time to engraftment, transfusion needs, number of days under antimicrobial treatment and parenteral nutrition, maximal serum levels of creatinine and bilirubin, incidence and severity of acute GVHD, among others. We also analyzed the eventual short-term deleterious effects of rhG-CSF upon donors. The results have pointed to a comparable incidence and severity of acute GVHD in the two populations, as well as similar transplant-associated morbidity profiles. Indeed, BSC grafts produced significantly faster engraftment and shorter hospital stays. Donor stem cell mobilization by rhG-CSF and their collection by single apheresis sessions have been devoid of significant side-effects or clinical complications in the study period. The numbers of cells collected have always proven sufficient to promote good engraftment, with no documentated of rejection or any other kind of graft failure. It seems apparent that the advantages offered by autologous BSC transplants can be shared by their allogeneic counterparts. The results suggest that allogeneic BSC transplantation is a feasible procedure, but one must not forget that this was not a randomized, prospective study, and that our follow-up time was not long enough to permit safe conclusions about the issue. More studies are necessary until we can replace alogeneic BSC transplantation for conventional bone marrow transplants

Resumo: O álcool atua no organismo podendo trazer várias doenças, entretanto sua ação no tecido ósseo ainda apresenta resultados controversos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do consumo crônico de álcool a 20% em osteoblastos obtidos da calvária de ratos recém-nascidos. Foram utilizadas 18 ratas prenhas, tratadas durante a gestação e divididas em grupos conforme a dieta: álcool a 20%, grupo isocalórico, e controle. Aos três dias de vida, os recém-nascidos foram eutanasiados para remoção da calvária e isolamento das células por meio de digestão enzimática sequencial, sendo estas cultivadas por períodos de até 14 dias. Foram realizados testes para avaliar o efeito do álcool na adesão, proliferação e viabilidade celular, no conteúdo de proteína total, na atividade da fosfatase alcalina e nas formações nodulares de matriz mineralizada. Os resultados mostraram que em geral, a adesão celular não foi influenciada pelo consumo crônico de álcool, já que não foi demonstrada diferença estatística entre os grupos. Contudo, o grupo álcool apresentou aumento significativo na proliferação, exceto no período de 1 dia, e nas formações nodulares. Com relação a viabilidade celular, apenas no período de 3 dias houve aumento significativo de células no grupo álcool. Os valores representativos de proteína total variaram dependendo do período estudado, sendo maior no grupo controle com 7 dias, porém aos 14 dias houve maior média nos grupos isocalórico e álcool. Quanto à fosfatase alcalina observamos aumento de sua atividade nos grupos álcool e isocalórico em todos os períodos. Concluímos que nesta metodologia, o álcool não apresentou efeito deletério para os osteoblastos, talvez pelo curto tempo de administração
Abstract: The alcohol affects the organism and may cause various diseases, even though its effects on bone metabolism are still controversial. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the effects of alcohol 20% chronic consumption in osteoblasts obtained from the calvaria of newborn mice. The alcohol was administrated to pregnant mice throughout the entire pregnancy. For that purpose, 18 mice were used, divided in groups according to the diet: 6 receiving alcohol 20%, 6 belonging to the isocaloric group and 6 receiving water and ration at will. At three days of life, the newborns were euthanized so as to remove the calvaria and start the cell culture procedures. The osteoblastic lineage cells were isolated by sequential enzymatic digestion and the osteoblasts were cultivated for periods of 14 days or less. Tests were performed on the culture slides to evaluate the effect of alcohol based on adhesion, proliferation and cellular viability on total protein content, alkaline phosphatase activity and nodule formation of mineralized matrix. The results have shown that the alcohol group presented significant increase in proliferation, except for the period of one day, and in nodule formation. A significant increase in the alcohol group concerning cellular viability was only observed in the period of 3 days and there was no statistic difference in adhesion. The total protein content was higher in the control group in 7 days, and the average higher in the isocaloric and alcohol groups in 14 days, according to the periods of time studied. An increase in the activity of the alkaline phosphatase was observed in the isocaloric and alcohol groups in all periods of evaluation. By this methodology, we have concluded that the alcohol has not presented any deleterious effect on osteoblasts, possibly due to the short period of administration

Resumo: Dada à necessidade de uma efetiva barreira tecidual precoce ao redor dos implantes osseointegrados, o presente estudo avaliou, in vitro, a influência das características físicas e químicas de materiais simulando superfícies de abutments de implantes em titânio (T) e zircônia (ZrO2) na adesão de células epiteliais gengivais OBA-9. Para este estudo foram utilizados espécimes em forma de discos (n=13) de titânio e zircônia, e como controles positivo e negativo, discos de esmalte bovino (EB) e lamínulas de vidro (LV), respectivamente. Foram avaliadas previamente a adesão celular a rugosidade superficial (Ra), energia livre de superfície (ELS) e os elementos químicos presentes na superfície identificados por meio de Espectrômetro de raios-X por Dispersão de Energia em Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV). Após a adesão celular em 1 e 24 horas, foram avaliadas a viabilidade celular por meio do MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide); e a morfologia das células aderidas sobre as superfícies por meio de MEV. Os dados de viabilidade celular foram avaliados estatisticamente pelo teste de ANOVA a dois critérios fixos ("material" e "período de análise"), enquanto os dados de ELS foram submetidos aos testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney, considerando um nível de significância de 5%. A superfície de T obteve o maior valor de ELS com 6,2N/m, seguida pela ZrO2 com 5,8N/m, LV com 4,9N/m, e com o menor valor o EB com 4,7N/m. Foi observado que os fatores material (p=0,336) e período de análise (p=0,400) não apresentaram efeito sobre os dados de viabilidade celular, assim como a interação entre eles (material*período de análise, p=0,559). A análise da morfologia celular mostrou que as células aderidas às superfícies de T e ZrO2 apresentaram espraiamento semelhante, sendo este maior quando comparado as superfícies de EB e LV. Concluiu-se que não houve diferença entre a adesão...
Abstract: Given the need for effective early mucosal barrier around dental implants, the present study evaluated, in vitro, the influence of physical and chemical characteristics of materials simulating abutments implants surfaces in titanium (T) and zirconium (ZrO2) on gingival epithelial cells OBA-9 adhesion. For this study, disks-shaped samples (n=13) of titanium and zirconium were tested, and as positive and negative control groups, bovine enamel disks (BE), and glass coverslips (GCS), respectively. Previously the cellular adhesion surface roughness (Ra), surface free energy (SFE) and the chemical composition of specimens by X-ray Spectrometer Dispersive Energy in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were evaluated. After the periods of cellular adhesion, 1 and 24 hours, the cellular viability was evaluated by MTT Assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) and the morphology of the epithelial cells adhered to the surfaces was analyzed using the SEM. The data of cell viability were statistically evaluated by two-way ANOVA ("Material" and "period of analysis"), while the SFE data were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests, considering a significance level of 5%. The T specimens showed the highest values of SFE (6.2 N/m), followed by ZrO2 (5.8 N/m), GCS (4.9 N/m), and BE (4.7 N/m). It was observed that the factors material (p = 0.336) and periods of analysis (p = 0.400) showed no effect on cell viability data, as well as the interaction between them (material* period of analysis, p = 0.559). The analysis of cell morphology showed that cells adhered to the T and ZrO2 surfaces presented similar spreading, which was higher compared to the BE and GCS surfaces. It was concluded that there was no difference between the cellular adhesion to different materials for implant abutments, T and ZrO2, in evaluated periods. However, cell spreading was qualitatively higher in rougher surfaces and greater titanium and zirconia...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This mini-study project examines the strategic position of the Douglas Wine Cellar in context with the dynamics in the wine industry. For success in the future it suggests that producers, manufactures and marketing strategies will have to focus on doing the same things differently as well as doing different things, with the emphasis on improving productivity, increasing quality focus and generating value-added products aimed at meeting market requirements. The greater focus on productivity in agriculture should include wider use of effective farming practices, more effective use of capital equipment, more effective implementation of Research & Development results, product differentiation and brand building as well as the development of distribution channels with the ability to deliver these products in a cost effective and timely manner. There is no single "Superhighway". Routes are complex and discontinuous with an ever increasing pace of change. Today we live and work in a technology rich society. Rapid advancements in all industries are occurring daily. To survive and prosper, Douglas Wine Cellar must commit to a continual processof advancement and improvement of strategies to fulfill the vision of GWKLtd. THE VISION OF GWK IS TO BE A SUSTAINABLE AGRI-BUSINESS OF EXCELLENCE
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie werkstuk is onderneem ten einde die strategiese posisie van Douglas Wynkelder in die konteks van die wynindustrie dinamika te ondersoek. Sukses in die toekoms hang daarvan af of produsente, vervaardigers en bemarkingstrategië daarop fokus om dieselfde dinge verskillend te doen sowel as om nuwe stelsels te implementeer, met die klem op produktiwiteit, verhoogde kwaliteit en die generering van waardetoegevoegde produkte wat aan die markbehoeftesvoldoen. Die groter fokus op produktiwiteit in die landbou behoort die algemene verbruik van effektiewe boerderypraktyke, effektiewe kapitaalspandering, effektiewe implementering van navorsings- & ontwikkelingsresultate, produkdifferensiasie en handelsmerk-uitbouing in te sluit, asook die ontwikkeling van distribusiekanale met die vermoë om produkte koste effektief en tydig aan die mark te lewer. Daar bestaan geen enkele "super hoofweg" nie. Roetes is kompleks en nie volhoubaar nie, met ewigdurende veranderings. Vandag lewe en werk ons in 'n tegnologies-ontwikkelde samelewing. Vinnige vooruitgang in alle industrië is aan die orde van die dag. Om te oorleef en welvaart te skep moet Douglas Wynkelder die pad betree van voortdurende vordering en verbetering van strategië, om sodoende aan die visie van GWK Bpk te voldoen. DIE VISIE VAN GWK IS OM IN VOLHOUBARE LANDBOUBESIGHEID VAN UITNEMENDHEID TE WEES

La biodiversité fongique interspécifique (Illumina Mi-Seq) et la dynamique des espèces Saccharomyces cerevisiae et Brettanomyces bruxellensis ont été étudiées au sein d’une nouvelle cuverie et/ou dans 3 caves d’élevage, plus particulièrement sur le sol, les murs, le matériel vinaire et l’extérieur des fûts. Dans la nouvelle cuverie, un consortium fongique (levures et moisissures) de départ est déjà présent sur tous les environnments étudiés avant l’arrivée de la première vendange. Ce consortium est constitué de genres tels que Aureobasidium, Alternaria, Didymella et Filobasidium. Ces genres qui persistent pendant deux millésimes, ne sont pas spécifiques de l’environnement de la cuverie et semblent être adaptés à tous les environnements naturels ou anthropiques au regard de leur caractère ubiquiste. Le consortium de départ est enrichi par des genres œnologiques (exemple : Hanseniaspora, Saccharomyces) qui sont introduits dans la cuverie soit par les vendanges, soit par des transferts potentiels entre les différents environnements de la cuverie. Cependant, ces genres ne semblent pas persister ou s’implanter probablement dû à leur faible adaptation aux conditions stressantes de l’environnement de la cuverie. La dynamique de la flore indigène S. cerevisiae dans la nouvelle cuverie a été également étudiée. Aucun isolat appartenant à cette espèce n’a été retrouvé avant l'arrivée de la première vendange confirmant que cette espèce n’est pas spécifique de l'environnement de la cuverie et que sa présence est en lien avec l'activité des fermentations alcooliques. Cependant, les résultats obtenus suggèrent une colonisation potentielle de l’environnement de la nouvelle cuverie par certaines souches de S. cerevisiae. Ces souches dites « colonisatrices » ont présenté une capacité plus élevée à former des biofilms comparée à celle de souches non implantées. Cette étude met en évidence l’importance de l’environnement de la cuverie qui constitue une véritable niche écologique pour les populations fongiques capables de s’implanter au cours du processus de vinification. Dans l’environnement des 3 caves d’élevage, le matériel vinaire et l’extérieur des fûts (en contact direct avec le vin) sont les environnements qui semblent favorables au développement et à l’installation des populations microbiennes cultivables (levures totales et bactéries lactiques) et des microorganismes d’altération (bactéries acétiques et B. bruxellensis), contrairement au sol et aux murs où des populations faibles ont été trouvées. Des souches récurrentes de B. bruxellensis ont été retrouvées sur le matériel et sur l’extérieur des fûts et pourraient être à l’origine de la contamination de vins au cours de l’élevage. Ces souches récurrentes présentent des capacités de formation de biofilms et de résistance plus importantes qui pourraient expliquer la persistance de B. bruxellensis dans des caves d’élevage. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance du nettoyage du matériel vinaire et du suivi microbien régulier des vins au cours de l’élevage afin de limiter les contaminations
The interspecific fungal biodiversity (Illumina Mi-Seq) and the dynamics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Brettanomyces bruxellensis species were studied in a new winery and/or in 3 aging cellars, more specifically on the floor, the walls, the equipment and the outside of the barrels. In the new winery, an initial fungal consortium (yeasts and molds) is already present on all the winery environments before the arrival of the first harvest. This consortium consists of fungal genera such as Aureobasidium, Alternaria, Didymella and Filobasidium. These genera, that persist during two vintages, are not specific to the winery environment and seem to be adapted to natural or anthropic environments due to their ubiquitous character. The initial consortium is enriched by oenological genera (e.g. Hanseniaspora, Saccharomyces) that are introduced into the winery either by the harvest or by potential transfers between the different environments of the winery. However, these genera do not seem to persist or establish due to their low adaptation to the stressful conditions of the winery environment. The dynamics of wild S. cerevisiae in the new winery was also studied. No isolates belonging to this species were found before the arrival of the first harvest, confirming that this species is not specific to the winery environment and its presence is related to the alcoholic fermentation activity. However, the results obtained suggest a potential colonization of the new winery environment by certain S. cerevisiae strains. These so-called « colonizing » strains showed a higher capacity to form biofilms compared to non-implanted strains. This study highlights the importance of the winery environment that constitutes a true ecological niche for fungal populations capable of implantation during the winemaking process. In the environment of the 3 aging cellars, the equipment and the outside of the barrels (in direct contact with wine) are the environments that seem to be favorable for the development and installation of cultivable microbial populations (yeasts and lactic acid bacteria) and spoilage microorganisms (acetic acid bacteria and B. bruxellensis), unlike the floor and the walls where low microbial populations were found. Recurrent strains of B. bruxellensis have been found on both the equipment and the outside of the barrels and could be the cause of wine contamination during aging. These recurrent strains showed greater biofilm formation and resistance capacities which could explain the persistence of B. bruxellensis in aging cellars. These results highlight the importance of equipment cleaning and the regular monitoring of wines during aging in order to limit the contaminations

O presente relatório de estágio tem por objectivo descrever as actividades desenvolvidas entre 13 de Janeiro e 19 de Junho do presente ano, no Arquivo Distrital de Leiria, no âmbito da conclusão do Curso de Mestrado em Ciências da Informação e Documentação, ministrado na Universidade de Évora. O trabalho desenvolvido durante o estágio consistiu essencialmente no tratamento e organização do conteúdo documental da Adega Cooperativa das Cortes. Este fundo documental constitui um dos poucos exemplos relativos às Adegas Vinícolas que se conseguiu recuperar e preservar, não obstante o encerramento da Instituição. Este trabalho comporta duas partes fundamentais: a primeira, referente à contextualização e enquadramento histórico da Adega Cooperativa das Cortes; a segunda expõe as actividades desenvolvidas no estágio. Depois de uma breve caracterização do local do estágio e de uma contextualização histórica da Instituição em causa, fazemos algumas considerações gerais e teóricas sobre a organização de um fundo documental, no sentido de se compreender melhor as funções desenvolvidas por nós durante o estágio. Na segunda parte, descrevemos e avaliamos as diferentes actividades exercidas, centradas essencialmente na organização e tratamento arquivístico do Fundo Documental da Adega Cooperativa das Cortes. Deste relatório constam ainda outras partes acessórias, nomeadamente: introdução, conclusão, bibliografia e anexos. – ABSTRACT: The purpose of this probation period's report is to describe the activities developed between 13th January and 19th June of the present year, in the District Archive of Leiria. This was done to attain a Master degree in Documentation and lnformation Sciences at the University of Évora. The developed work during this probation period consisted essentially in the treatment and organization of the documental content of the Cooperativa Wine Cellar of Cortes. This Documental Fund is one of the few examples related to Vinicultura Wine Cellars that was recovered and preserved in spite of its closing due to the lack of competitiveness of the Portuguesa agriculture in a new political and economic context after 1985. This work is constituted by two essential parts: the first one, refers to the contextualization and historical framing of the Cooperative Wine Cellar of Cortes; the second one, exposes the activities developed in the probation period. After a brief characterization of the place where the probation period took place and of the historical contextualization of this institution, some general and theoretic considerations were done concerning the organization of the Documental Fund. The purpose was to improve the insight considering the functions developed during the probation period. ln the second part, we describe and evaluate the different activities exercised, concentrating essentially in the organization and archivist treatment of the Documental Fund of the Cooperative Wine Cellar of Cortes. This report still contains other additional parts, namely: introduction, conclusion, bibliography and annexes.

Para serem apresentados pelo MHC I em células dendríticas, os antígenos são processados pelo imunoproteassomo. O objetivo do trabalho foi examinar o efeito de pró-oxidantes em DC para avaliação da proliferação de linfócitos T CD8+, com foco no sistema ubiquitina-proteassomo. Os resultados mostram que o sistema Xantina/Xantina Oxidase aumentou a proliferação de T CD8+ isolados de camundongos imunizados com DNA-HSP65 após a co-cultura destas células com DC tratadas com XaXO. O XaXO promoveu maior maturação de DC em relação ao LPS, assim como uma queda da atividade catalítica do IP, sugerindo que o aumento da proliferação de T CD8+ não está diretamente relacionado à atividade do IP. A incubação de DC com XaXO não alterou a expressão da unidade catalítica 20S, da unidade regulatória 19S ou da subunidade ⓹i. Observou-se aumento da expressão da unidade regulatória 11S e do conteúdo de proteínas ubiquitinadas. Sugere-se que 11S se acoplaria a 20S deslocando 19S, promovendo o acúmulo de proteínas ubiquitinadas e direcionando mais fragmentos para a apresentação antigênica.
To be presented in dendritic cells MHC I, antigens are processed by immunoproteasome. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of pro-oxidants in dendritic cell-induced T CD8+ lymphocyte proliferation with focus on ubiquitin-proteasome system. The co-culture of DC incubated with Xanthine/Xanthine Oxidase system and T CD8+ isolated from mice immunized with DNA-HSP65 promoted T CD8+ proliferation. XaXO incubation was more efficient in promoting DC maturation compared to LPS. In addition, XaXO incubation decreased IP catalytic activity in relation to LPS, suggesting that increased T CD8+ proliferation is not directly related to IP activity. XaXO incubation did not alter the expression of 20S catalytic subunit, 19S regulatory unit or ⓹i subunit. XaXO incubation increased 11S regulatory unit content as well as that of ubiquitinated proteins. We suggest that the DC incubation with XaXO increased 11S content favoring its coupling to 20S in detriment of 19S. This would increase ubiquitinated protein levels and direct more peptide fragments for antigen presentation.
