Moore, Francesca. "Nana Stories." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2007. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/32.
Full textAbstract:
The film consists of images from home movies of Nana, her daughter (Francesca's mother), and Francesca, and their extended family at gatherings, visits, and vacations, and of Nana in her last years. Nana emigrated from Italy, as did other relatives. The home movies are in black and white or color. Images from photographs in black and white or color, and images of birth, marriage, and death certificates are included. Francesca and her mother speculate on Nana's life based on the contradictory information they have from these documents and from family members. The film ends with the words "In memoriam October 14, 1925 – March 20, 2007" and it is Francesca's wish that Nana found happiness in her life.
The film begins with the quote: "There are three sides to every story. Your side, my side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each differently." Robert Evans.

Full textAbstract:
The ongoing shrubification of the Arctic tundra may in the future have serious consequences for the ecosystem. More trees and shrubs will lead to changes in species composition and may alter diversity, carbon and nutrient balance, and result in a lower albedo. Reindeer can reduce the spread of shrubs, but plants have developed chemical defenses against herbivores made up of secondary metabolites. The concentration of these can be affected by several factors, including damages from herbivory and the availability of nutrients. In this study samples of the shrub B. nana ssp. nana (dwarf birch) and soil samples were collected from outside and inside herbivore exclosures in Fennoscandia. Then, concentrations of phenols and terpenes, the major defense component in birches, and soil nutrient availability were analyzed. A proxy was created for measuring the density of reindeer at each location. The aim was to evaluate this data and see if the exclusion of herbivores or the nutrient availability had any effect on the concentration of the defense components. Few differences between the exclosures and control plots could be found and only two out of 18 t-tests showed any difference that was deemed statistically significant. The density of herbivores was found to have no effect and the nutrient availability showed no clear results. This study concludes there are many factors influencing the concentration of defense components in dwarf birches, including the rising temperatures, that need to be considered in future studies. A better understanding of this subject would be essential in visualizing the future of the Arctic tundra.

Full textAbstract:
Il seguente lavoro di tesi descrive un modello fisico di nana bianca all'equilibrio partendo da dati empirici tipici per tali stelle. Si schematizza la stella come una sfera di gas He completamente ionizzato di densità uniforme, a temperatura T=const e soggetta ad un potenziale gravitazionale centrale. Il gas si costituisce di una parte degenere relativistica (elettroni) ed una parte classica ideale (gli ioni). Si procede ricavando le relazioni essenziali per determinare le proprietà di un gas di Fermi degenere relativistico, mostrando come, al limite di Boltzmann, descrivano anche il caso classico. La trattazione teorica è progressivamente supportata dalle stime dei parametri caratteristici delle due componenti del gas per verificare le loro condizioni fisiche e stimare l'importanza dei rispettivi contributi all'intero sistema. Si procede quindi all'esposizione dell'equilibrio tra pressione degenere ed attrazione gravitazionale ponendo particolare attenzione alla relazione raggio-massa. Infine si discutono le condizioni entro le quali un sistema fisico con tali caratteristiche può sussistere, con esplicito riferimento al limite di Chandrasekhar.

Full textAbstract:
Les copépodes sont les animaux les plus abondant sur Terre et jouent un rôle essentiel dans le réseau trophique et les cycles biogéochimiques marins. Dans l'océan épipélagique, le genre Oithona est considéré comme le plus abondants et l’un des plus répandus. Malgré leur importance écologique, peu de données moléculaires et anatomiques sont disponibles pour les copépodes en général et plus particulièrement pour Oithona. Nous avons adapté un protocole permettant d'observer les systèmes digestif et reproducteur d'Oithona, mais également de déterminer, pour la première fois, la distribution de la chitine au sein de ces systèmes. Nous avons construit le génome et les transcriptomes aux différents stades de développement d’Oithona nanaAprès analyse comparative avec les autres génomes de copépodes disponibles, nous observons une explosion d’occurrence du domaine protéique Lin12 Notch Reapeat (LNR) dans le génome de O. nana. À l'aide des données métagénomiques de Tara et de DISCOSNP ++, un outil permettant de détecter les variants sans génome de référence, nous avons identifié la structure de la population d'O. nana en Méditerranée, et également détecté les loci sous sélection naturelle. Parmi eux, 5 étaient des gènes codant pour des protéines contenant des domaines LNR (appelé LDPG) dont 3 mutations directement au sein de domaines LNR.Un système ZW de détermination sexuelle est prédit chez O. nana. Une série temporelle de quinze ans dans la petite rade de Toulon a montré un sex-ratio biaisé en faveur des femelles (rapport hommes / femmes <0,15 ± 0,11), mettant en évidence une mortalité plus élevée chez les mâles. Cela peut s'expliquer par le « paradoxe du mâle » : les mâles doivent alterner entre les phases d'alimentation (immobile) et de recherche de partenaire d’accouplement (mobile). Comme la base moléculaire de ce phénomène est inconnue, nous avons effectué une analyse d'expression différentielle. Vingt-quatre pourcent de l’ensemble des LDPGs sont sur-exprimés chez les mâles. Le mâle a également montré un enrichissement en transcrits impliqués dans la protéolyse, la formation de nouveaux axones et dendrites, l'assemblage et le fonctionnement de la synapse ainsi que la conversion d'acides aminés en glutamate, un neurotransmetteur excitateur. De plus, plusieurs gènes, spécifiquement régulés négativement chez le males, sont impliqués dans l'augmentation de la prise alimentaire et de la digestion. La formation de complexes de LDP a été détectée par la technique du double hybride, avec des interactions impliquant des protéases, des protéines de la matrice extracellulaire et des protéines associées à la neurogenèse.L’ensemble de ces résultats semble montré que, chez le mâle O. nana, la recherche prolongée de partenaires serait possible grâce à une autolyse modulée par les LDPs qui libèrent des acides aminés, permettant leur conversion en glutamate et ainsi permet le développement du système nerveux. Cet effet délétère renforce l’hypothèse, à l’échelle moléculaire, d’un comportement sacrificiel chez le mâle O. nana; et constitue le premier cas de comportement suicidaire chez un animal itéropareCopepods are the most numerous animals on Earth and play an essential role in the marine trophic web and biogeochemical cycles. In the epipelagic ocean, the genus Oithona is considered as one of the most abundant and widespread copepods. Despite the ecological importance, few internal anatomy and molecular data are available for copepods in general, and for Oithona in particular. We updated a protocol permitting to observe the digestif and reproductive systems of Oithona, but also to determine, for the first time, the chitin distribution inside these systems. We also made available the Oithona nana genome and transcriptomes at the different development stages.After comparative genomic analysis against other available copepod genomes, we observe an explosion of the Lin-12 Notch Repeat (LNR) protein domain in the O. nana genome. Using the Tara metagenomic data, we identified the population structure of O. nana in the Mediterranean Sea, but also detected loci under natural selection. Among them, five were LNR domain-containing protein-coding genes (LDPGs) whose three single-nucleotide mutations within LNR domain.While a ZW sex-determination system was predicted in O. nana, a fifteen-year time-series in the Toulon Little Bay showed a biased sex ratio toward females (male / female ratio < 0.15± 0.11) highlighting higher mortality in males. This can be explained by the “Oithona male paradox”: males have to alternate between feeding (immobile) and partner research (mobile) phases. As the molecular basis of this trade-off is unknown, we make a differential expression analysis. Twenty-four per cent of LDPGs were up-regulated in males. The male also showed enrichment in transcripts involved in proteolysis, the formation of new axons and dendrites, synapse assembly and functioning and even amino acid conversion to glutamate (an excitatory neurotransmitter). Moreover, several male down-regulated genes were involved in the increase of food uptake and digestion. The formation of LDP complexes was detected by yeast two-hybrid, with interactions involving proteases, extracellular matrix proteins and neurogenesis related proteins.Together, these results showed that the mating partner search of O. nana male is sustained by LDP-modulated autolysis that releases amino acid, convert them to the glutamate and permit a nervous system development. This could support a molecular-scale sacrificial behaviour in O. nana male

Pacioni, Giorgio. "Materia oscura nella galassia nana sferoidale Crater 2." Bachelor's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2017. http://amslaurea.unibo.it/13796/.
Full textAbstract:
Le galassie nane sferoidali sono tipi di galassie peculiari sia a livello strutturale, avendo una complessa popolazione stellare di cui risulta ancora difficile delineare le fasi evolutive, sia per quanto riguarda le proprietà cinematiche. In particolare dagli studi effettuati sulla loro dispersione di velocità lungo la linea di vista (σ_los ), tali galassie sembrano essere caratterizzate dalla presenza di massicci aloni di materia oscura.
Nel contesto delle galassie nane sferoidali, Crater 2 rappresenta per il momento un unicum. Sebbene si conoscano dSphs di dimensioni simili, nessuna di loro presenta una luminosità così debole, e una σ_los così bassa, come quelle mostrate da Crater 2.
In questa tesi è stato costruito un modello per studiare la distribuzione di materia oscura in un sistema non collisionale in equilibrio dinamico, mediante l’analisi di Jeans per sistemi a simmetria sferica, ed è stato applicato a Crater 2 (limitandosi al caso isotropo).
La risoluzione delle equazioni di Jeans a simmetria sferica ha richiesto la scrittura di un codice in C++, e per testarne l’efficienza `e stato applicato al caso della sfera di Hernquist isotropa. Da questo test è emerso che il
programma è in grado di riprodurre il profilo di σ_los discostandosi dal profilo analitico con un errore del tutto trascurabile, il che conferma l’affidabilità del codice. Per Crater 2 sono stati scelti un profilo di Plummer per descrivere la distribuzione spaziale stellare. Si è assunto che il potenziale gravitazionale sia generato da un alone di materia oscura sferico per cui sono stati adottati il profilo NFW e profili con core a tripla legge di potenza. In entrambi i casi si ottengono buoni fit della σ_los. Inoltre è stato mostrato come la materia oscura sia nettamente dominante sulla quantità di massa deducibile dalla luminosità misurata di Crater 2, a qualunque raggio, assumendo un rapporto massa-luminosità tipico per le popolazioni stellari delle galassie nane sferoidali.

Find full textAbstract:
Lo scenario cosmologico LCDM prevede che si formino prima gli aloni di materia oscura di piccola massa e in seguito, tramite merging, aloni più massicci. In questo scenario gerarchico di formazione delle strutture, anche le galassie più massicce si sarebbero formate per continue aggregazioni di sistemi più piccoli, formatisi per primi. Ai fini di comprendere meglio la formazione e l'evoluzione delle strutture agli inizi dell'Universo, è di grande importanza lo studio delle galassie nane star-forming (irregolari e blu compatte), povere di metalli e ricche di gas. Lo scopo di questo lavoro è studiare la galassia star-forming DDO 68, una nana blu compatta ed estremamente povera di metalli, situata nel vuoto Lynx-Cancer, nell'Universo locale. Recenti osservazioni potrebbero costituire la prima prova osservativa di processi di merging gerarchico in atto su piccole scale di massa galattica. Per confermare o meno le evidenze di tali interazioni multiple in atto in questa galassia, abbiamo usufruito di nuove osservazioni spettroscopiche delle regioni H II di DDO 68, effettuate nella notte del 21 Febbraio 2017 con MODS1 e MODS2 Multi-Object Double Spectrographs, montati su LBT. Dai dati abbiamo derivato le velocità radiali e le abbondanze chimiche per ciascuna regione H II osservata; dal nostro studio è emersa una differenza in metallicità tra le regioni H II della coda, della testa e del corpo centrale della galassia. Questo potrebbe essere un segno di attività di merging in atto tra un corpo meno metallico, la coda, e uno relativamente più ricco di metalli, il corpo centrale. Potrebbe trattarsi anche di un sistema non interagente e la differenza in metallicità potrebbe anche essere spiegata con un gradiente di metallicità. Rimane il fatto che le nostre osservazioni confermano per DDO68 metallicità estremamente basse, tali da renderla un outlier nella relazione luminosità-metallicità, rendendola un probabile sistema in fase di merging.

Full textAbstract:
An analysis of Zolas Nana focusing on male desire. Through a study of the narrtive structure and the polemic relation between the concepts of “Nature” and “Culture” it is shown that opposing ideologies are imbedded in the text. Nana is a symbolic character, in large, a myth created by male desire that eventually becomes a manifestation of that desire. At the same time, however, the character Nana evolves from being a mirrored image of male desire into a more stable and real individual and this process is also an answer to when and why she dies,underlining the fact that she initially was a creation emanating from male desire and in losing those symbolic functions she loses her function in the novel.

Cherchi, Giacomo. "Effetti mareali sulla massa stellare della galassia sferoidale nana Fornax." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2020. http://amslaurea.unibo.it/20945/.
Full textAbstract:
Come la maggior parte degli ammassi globulari, anche quelli che appartengono alla galassia sferoidale nana (dSph) Fornax presentano popolazioni stellari multiple. Alcuni scenari di formazione proposti per queste popolazioni richiedono che la massa stellare iniziale dovesse essere circa 5-20 volte maggiore rispetto a quella attuale. In letteratura questo prende il nome di mass budget problem. Se si assume che la maggior parte delle stelle di Fornax sia nata nei suoi ammassi globulari e poi espulsa per
effetti dinamici, per giustificare sia valori di quest’ordine che la sua elevata frequenza specifica, questa galassia avrebbe dovuto perdere un’importante frazione di massa stellare. In questo lavoro di tesi, tramite simulazioni N-body, ci proponiamo di studiare l’evoluzione di un modello di dSph in orbita nel potenziale della MW, introducendo un nuovo metodo che ci permetta di studiare l’evoluzione della componente stellare a posteriori delle simulazioni, abbattendo in maniera critica il numero di simulazioni, il numero di particelle richieste, e quindi i tempi di calcolo. Attraverso la funzione di probabilità, siamo in grado di ricavare diversi profili stellari a partire dai set di particelle evoluti appartenenti alla distribuzione totale che descrive la dSph, senza dover studiare un nuovo set-up iniziale per ogni scelta del profilo stellare iniziale. Abbiamo applicato questo metodo al caso di Fornax realizzando, a scopo illustrativo, due simulazioni, dove troviamo che, nell’orbita più eccentrica assunta, la sferoidale nana perde sino al 43% della massa stellare iniziale entro 3 kpc. Quindi, se la massa stellare iniziale di Fornax fosse stata circa il doppio di quella osservata oggi, il limite superiore proposto da Larsen et al. (2012) al mass budget problem verrebbe spostato, da un fattore 4-5, ad un fattore 7-9, rientrando così all’interno del range di valori proposti per alcuni scenari di formazione di popolazioni stellari multiple negli ammassi globulari.

Full textAbstract:
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection causes achlorydria, depressed gastric acid barrier, impaired immune response and is suspected in bacterial overgrowth and diarrhoea. These features of the infection are known to cause significant malabsorption of nutrients and impairment of linear growth in children. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in children is known to be much higher in developing countries, especially among the lower socio-economic groups. The true prevalence of infection in urban children in Mexico and its impact on their growth are largely unknown. This study examined the prevalence of H. pylori infection in school children from an urban area in Northwest Mexico and attempted to identify the risk factors that predispose individuals to infection in childhood; as well as to relate the presence of this infection to growth of children. The cross-sectional study was conducted in 1997/98 in the poorest socio-economic sectors of the city of Hermosillo, Sonora, among 178 children aged 9 and 10 years. H. pylori status was determined in children by the 13C-urea breath test. Anthropometric (weight and height) and haemoglobin measurements along with analysis of faecal samples and a 24-hour dietary recall were carried out in each child. Family sociodemographic/socio-economic status and living conditions data were elicited from parents by interview via structured questionnaires. The overall prevalence rate of H. pylori infection for the children in Hermosillo as determined by this study was 47.1%. The findings indicate that rural-born father, number of siblings, the type of main water supply (one tap in the yard) and the sharing of bed by the study child are important risk factors for acquiring the H. pylori infection. A borderline significant but small effect of H. pylori infection on height for-age was observed in this study. H. pylori infection was found to be positively highly associated with Hymenolepis nana. No differences in mean energy, protein and iron intakes between H. pylori positive and negative children were observed. However, significant differences in the mean energy, protein and iron intakes were observed between boys and girls. H. pylori infection and enteric parasites were not significantly correlated with the presence of anaemia.

Full textAbstract:
Dans Le Roman expérimental (1880), Émile Zola affirme que «nous [les écrivains] n'av[ons] pas à tirer une conclusion de nos oeuvres, et cela signifie que nos oeuvres portent leur conclusion en elles». Grâce à l'objectivité narrative tant souhaitée de Zola, les personnages évolueraient sans que le narrateur ne porte de jugement.
Cette thèse se propose d'étudier le discours populaire des femmes de modeste condition, principalement les prostituées et les comédiennes dans Nana . Le discours du narrateur sera pris en compte dans la mesure où il met en scène tous leurs discours, non pas d'une façon objective, mais avec force de gloses péjoratives qui font de la figure féminine un bouc émissaire. Conscientes de la doxa du patriarcat qui les domine à travers le narrateur, les femmes populaires croient détenir un certain pouvoir par la voie du sexe et d'un discours calqué sur celui des hommes.
Nous nous pencherons tant sur les idées reçues quant au sexe, notamment sa construction sociale qui s'articule sur l'opposition masculin/activité et féminin/passivité et d'autres stéréotypes plutôt mythiques que naturalistes, que sur les composantes linguistiques (implicite, sous-entendu, usage de la maxime, style indirect libre) qui condamnent les femmes tout en permettant au narrateur de conserver un semblant d'objectivité.

Tous ces atouts lui confèrent un double potentiel très intéressant pour les recherches en cours : en tant qu’organisme d’essai pour l’évaluation des risques associés aux polluants aquatiques (bioindicateur), et en tant que proie vivante en culture de masse pour l’alimentation des larves de poissons en aquaculture.Dans le cadre de ce projet de thèse, nous avions pour objectifs : (i) de tester le potentiel productif et qualitatif de P. nana en aquaculture en lien avec la nature du régime de micro-algues ingérées ; (ii) d'établir le profil de P. nana en tant que modèle écotoxicologique au moyen de tests d'exposition à des contaminants métalliques.Les effets de sept régimes de micro-algues différents constitués de Rhodomonas salina (R), Tisochrysis lutea (T) et Pavlova lutheri (P) sur la productivité de P. nana en culture ont été explorés. Les régimes R+T et R ont induit la plus forte croissance de population et l’investissement reproductif des femelles ovigères le plus élevé. Ces mêmes régimes ont également généré la plus forte teneur en acides gras totaux chez les copépodes, et la plus forte teneur en monosaccharides totaux a été trouvée chez les copépodes nourris avec R+T+P. Les résultats globaux ont montré que tous les régimes incluant R. salina entraînaient une augmentation de la productivité de P. nana, en particulier en association avec T. lutea dans un régime mixte.Une autre étude a examiné les effets du cadmium (Cd), du cuivre (Cu) et du nickel (Ni) sur deux sous-populations de P. nana. Une première expérience menée sur une culture classique de P. nana a montré une diminution de la croissance de population, mais une bioaccumulation croissante des métaux chez les copépodes. Le Cd était également accumulé davantage lorsqu'il était seul que dans le mélange avec Cu et Ni, confirmant l'hypothèse de la concurrence des métaux démontrée récemment chez un copépode calanoïde. Une seconde expérience réalisée sur une culture de P. nana déjà exposée à une concentration plus élevée de Cu depuis plusieurs générations a révélé un impact moindre sur la croissance de la population et une accumulation de métaux plus faible dans les copépodes. L'augmentation des concentrations de métaux dans l’eau expérimentale a reflété la dépuration se produisant chez cette population chargée en métaux et déjà acclimatée à leur exposition.Ces résultats sont les premiers montrant que R. salina est une micro-algue appropriée à une culture de masse productive de P. nana pour son utilisation en tant que proie vivante pour l’aquaculture des larves de poissons marins, et investiguant les paramètres influant sur les capacités de bioaccumulation de P. nana en réponse aux métaux dans les écosystèmes aquatiques contaminésThe cyclopoid copepod Paracyclopina nana plays a key role in the trophic chains of the aquatic environments of Eastern Asia. It has a small adult size (600 μm), a short life cycle, a high fecundity, and can be easily cultured under medium salinity (15 psu) and a wide range of temperatures. Its whole genome has also been recently sequenced, assembled and annotated. All these assets give it a very interesting double potential for current research: as a test organism for risk assessment associated with aquatic pollutants (bioindicator), and as a live prey in mass culture for the feeding of fish larvae in aquaculture.In the framework of this PhD project, we aimed: (i) to test the productive and qualitative potential of P. nana in aquaculture in relation to the nature of the ingested microalgae diet; (ii) to establish the profile of P. nana as an ecotoxicological model through metal contaminant exposure tests.The effects of seven different microalgal diets constituted by Rhodomonas salina (R), Tisochrysis lutea (T), and Pavlova lutheri (P) on P. nana productivity in culture were explored. The R+T and R diets induced the highest population growth and the greatest reproductive investment in ovigerous females. Those same diets also generated the highest total fatty acid content in copepods, and the highest total monosaccharide content has been found in copepods fed R+T+P. Overall results demonstrated that all the diets including R. salina lead to an increasing productivity of P. nana, and particularly when combined with T. lutea in a mixed diet.Another study examined the effects of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni), on two subpopulations of P. nana. A first experiment conducted on a regular P. nana culture showed a decreasing population growth but an increasing metal bioaccumulation in copepods. Cd was also more accumulated when it was alone than in the mixture with Cu and Ni, confirming the hypothesis of metal competition recently demonstrated in a calanoid copepod. A second experiment performed on a P. nana culture already exposed to a higher Cu concentration for several generations revealed a lesser impact on population growth and a lower metal accumulation in copepods. Increasing metal concentrations in the experimental water reflected the depuration happening in this metal-loaded population already acclimated to metal exposure.Overall results are the first ones showing that R. salina is a suitable microalga for productive mass culture of P. nana for use as live food for marine fish larval aquaculture, and to investigate the parameters influencing the bioaccumulation capacity of P. nana in response to metals in contaminated aquatic ecosystems

O veado-mão-curta (Mazama nana) é uma espécie de cervídeo que ocupa a região Sul do Brasil, norte da Argentina e leste do Paraguai, tendo sido severamente afetada pela redução drástica das áreas florestadas. Trata-se, também, da espécie de cervídeo neotropical menos estudada pela ciência. Frente a essa situação, o presente projeto propôs-se a entender como essa espécie se distribui em sua área de ocorrência, propôs áreas prioritárias para sua conservação e estimou a densidade de duas populações. Dada a raridade e a alta elusividade da espécie, propôs-se o uso de metodologias indiretas para se atingir o objetivo proposto. Assim, foram usadas metodologias baseadas na coleta de amostras fecais, extração do DNA e posterior análises molecular e genética. Foram coletadas amostras fecais com o auxílio de um cão farejador em unidades de conservação distribuídas ao longo do Sul do Brasil. Após a identificação da espécie por meio da amplificação de um fragmento do citocromo B e corte com enzimas de restrição (PCR/RFLP) e com os dados de localização das amostras, foram feitas modelagens de distribuição com o software Maxent. Foram escolhidas duas unidades de conservação, onde foram realizadas coletas de amostras fecais, baseadas em faixas, para possibilitar a estimativa da densidade de animais nestas populações. Estabeleceu-se a distribuição geográfica potencial de M. nana no Brasil para os Estados do Paraná, Santa Catarina, norte e centro do Rio Grande do Sul, extremo sul de São Paulo e Mato Grosso do Sul. Porção leste do Paraguai e, na Argentina para a província de Missiones. A densidade da espécie para a região norte do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu foi de 1,9 ind/km2 e para o Parque Estadual Vila Rica do Espírito Santo foi de 5,5 ind/km2. A população potencial da espécie foi de 152.991 indivíduos, sendo 15.524 indivíduos a população dentro das áreas protegidas. Sugere-se a manutenção do estado de conservação da espécie como Vulnerável, tanto na lista Brasileira como na lista Internacional de fauna ameaçada de extinção.The Brazilian dwarf brocket (Mazama nana) is a deer species that occupies the forests of southern Brazil, north of Argentina and east of Paraguay. It has been greatly affected by the drastic reduction of forested areas. It is also the less studied neotropical deer. Considering this situation, this project aimed to shed light on the species distribution along its range, to indicate conservation priority areas and estimate the density of two populations. Given the rarity and high elusiveness of the species, it is proposed the use of indirect methods to achieve this goal. Fecal samples collection based methodologies were used, followed by DNA extraction and subsequent molecular and genetic analysis. Fecal samples were tracked and collected in protected areas spread over south Brazil, with the help of a scat detection dog. After species identification by PCR/RFLP and samples spatialization, species distribution modeling was carried out using Maxent software suit. Two protected areas were chosen for a faecal sampling based on transects, in order to estimate the population density. Potential geographical distribution of M. nana in Brazil was stablished at states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, northern and center Rio Grande do Sul, extreme South of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul. Also at Eastern Paraguay and Missiones province in Argentina. Species density at the northern area of Iguaçu National Park was 1.9 ind/km2 and at the State Park of Vila Rica do Espírito Santo was 5.5 ind/km2. The species potential population was 152,991 individuals, including 15,524 individuals inside protected areas. It is suggested to maintain species conservation status as vulnerable on the Brazilian and on the International red list of threatened species.

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous avons procédé à une étude stylistique de la métronymie dans les quatre œuvres suivantes : L’Assommoir, Nana, Une page d'amour et Pot-Bouille. Pour ce faire, nous avons sélectionné parmi les différents champs d'étude que connaît la stylistique ceux qui nous permettent d'examiner cette figure dont le texte de Zola regorge. L'objectif en cela est de démontrer que cette dernière constitue une dominante ; qui plus est, elle rend compte d'une créativité discursive incessante. La métonymie que nous avons découverte tout au long de ces textes se manifeste sous différentes formes typologiques, grammaticales et énonciatives. En outre, insérée dans un texte littéraire, elle fait l'objet d'un travail pragmatique considérable sur le plan romanesque, sur le plan thématique et symbolique et aussi sur le plan esthétique et littéraire. Nous nous sommes rendu compte qu'une véritable dimension poétique émane du texte grâce à cette figure nommée métonymie. D'abord, du point de vue thématique, et grâce à cette figure, Zola a pu dire tout le ridicule de la société du Second Empire. Ainsi, littérature et science se joignent pour expliquer le rapport de l'homme avec son milieu. Ensuite, nombre de qualités lyriques et poétiques animent le texte grâce à la métonymie. Si la métaphore est le procédé de l'imaginaire, la métonymie est celui de « la vérité et de la lumière », donc aussi bien du réel que de l'imaginaire. Cette caractéristique fait de la métonymie un trope original et du texte zolien un véritable « roman-poème »In this thesis, we have undertaken a stylistic study of metonymy in Emile Zola's following four works : L'Assommoir, Une Page d'Amour, Nana and Pot-Bouille. In so doing, we have selected among the various study fields in stylistics those that allow to examine this figure which is permeating Zola's text. Our aim is to demonstrate that the figure constitutes a prevalence. Moreover, it accounts for the author's ceaseless discursive creativity. The metonymy we have found out throughout these texts shows itself under various typological, grammatical and enunciative forms. Besides, inserted into a literary text, it is the object of considerable pragmatic work on the fictional, thematic and symbolic levels and also on the aesthetic and literary plan. We have realised that a real poetic dimension emanates from the text thanks to the figure called metonymy. First, from the thematic point of view, and thanks to this figure, Zola was able to expose the ridicule of society under the Second Empire. He thus made use of this device in a remarkable way in order to relate literature to science and try to explain the relationship of man with his milieu. Second, thanks to metonymy, a number of lyric and poetic qualities animate the text. If metaphor is the device of imaginary, metonymy is that of “truth and light”, therefore of reality as well as of the imaginary. This characteristic makes metonymy an original trope of the “zolian” text, an actual “novel-poem”

Full textAbstract:
Two of the most rapid drivers of evolution are hybridisation and polyploidisation. Hybridisation allows the rapid introduction of novel genetic material, potentially much faster than mutations, but this process is impeded by reproductive barriers between species. Differencesinploidylevelcanformsuchabarrier. Hybridisationaswellaspolyploidyareknown to occur frequently in the plant kingdom, including the genus Betula, which is investigated in this thesis. Three species of the Betula genus that exist in the United Kingdom are studied here: B. nana (dwarf birch), B. pendula (silver birch), and B. pubescens (downy birch). They differ in ploidy: B. nana and B. pendula are diploid and B. pubescens is a tetraploid. HybridisationandgeneflowbetweenthesethreespecieswasanalysedbyusingaRAD-seq dataset derived from 196 wild individuals. It was found that introgression acts unidirectionally from the diploid into the tetraploid species and that there is a cline of introgression between the north and south of the UK. This result suggests a range shift of the species from different distributions in the past. Gene flow from B. nana to B. pubescens could be a neutral or even maladaptive consequence of their past species distributions. Alternatively, it could be an adaptive process: alleles from B. nana could be helping B. pubescens to adapt to harsher, more northerly populations. To gain a preliminary understanding of the possible effects of introgression, the loci in close linkage to RAD tags introgressed from B. nana into B. pubescens were investigated and their putative function inferred by comparing their homologs in related species. To enhance the analyses, a draft whole genome sequence assembly of a B. nana individual was improved with long read data generated by PacBio sequencing, as well as the addition of RNA-seq data. This produced a more contiguous and complete reference sequence, enabling a closer look at more genes in linkage to the RAD tags.

Full textAbstract:
A number of dihydroxyacetone kinases (DAK) have been described that can utilize either ATP (in animals, plants and some bacteria) or phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) (in most bacteria) as the energy source to convert dihydroxyacetone (Dha) to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DhaP), which plays critical roles in many metabolic pathways. It has also been described that Homo sapiens DAK is able to regulate the innate immune system via its interaction with Melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5), which is recognized as an RNA sensor during virus infection. These findings make H. sapiens DAK a very noteworthy research target due to its multiple functions in many fields. Therefore, structural studies of DAK from H. sapiens are presented. The initial structure of the wild type (WT) H. sapiens DAK was determined to 2.5Å resolution and solved by molecular replacement. The structure forms a homodimer and four dimers were shown to be present in each asymmetric unit. However, within each monomer, most regions of the C-terminal domain were disordered, and therefore in order to improve structure quality, multiple site-directed mutagenesis was used. The mutated protein was then crystallized and the structure was determined to 1.4Å. The N-terminal Dha binding domain consists of two α/β regions and the C-terminal ATP binding domain is comprised of eight anti-parallel α-helices, which forms a deep pocket and is filled with a phospholipid molecule. In addition, the structures of mutated DAK in complex with ATP analogues and Dha are also described in the current study. The second part of the project concerned sialidases, which are glycoside hydrolases that specifically hydrolyse terminal sialic acid from various glycans. Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria of humans, and is reported to encode three sialidases that act as virulence factors in bacterial colonization and infection. One of these sialidases, NanA, was reported to be present in all clinical strains and plays a vital role during the bacterial infection. Consequently, the structure of N-terminal Carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) domain of NanA has been determined to 1.8Å, and reveals a β-sandwich fold. The apo form of NanA-CBM is present as a dimer in the asymmetric unit, whereas a monomer was detected when it is bound to sialic acid or its derivatives. Structural comparisons between NanA-CBM and other structures of the CBM40 family were also performed. The substrate binding sites of NanA-CBM forms a cavity that is able to accommodate the substrates. A potential molecular binding site located beside the sialic acid binding site was revealed, and is occupied by the side chain of a lysine from a symmetry- related molecule. Heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR spectroscopy and fluorescent-based thermal shift assays were also carried out to further characterise the protein. The current results reveal the structure of both DAK from H. sapiens and NanA-CBM from S. pneumoniae, which may contribute to a better understanding towards cell metabolism and bacterial colonization.

L’incursion de l’Islam en Afrique subsaharienne à partir du IXe siècle, s’est opérée via le commerce transsaharien entre les peuples d’Afrique du Nord et ceux du Sahel. Ce contact entretenu par les caravanes commerciales entre les deux peuples a engendré l’islamisation progressive de la population hausaphone. Sous l’influence de l’arabe, plusieurs vocables sont introduits dans le lexique du hausa. Cet effet islamique s’accompagne d’une révolution dans la production de la littérature arabe-ajami. Grâce à l’adaptation de l’écriture ajami, Nana Asma’u, une polyglotte de renommée écrit au 18e siècle, plusieurs œuvres poétiques dont la plupart sont en langues - hausa, fulfulde et arabe. Sur la base de ces observations, cette thèse se propose d’analyser les emprunts lexicaux arabes dans les œuvres poétiques de l’auteur, et leur intégration dans la langue hausa. Sur le plan méthodologique, notre travail de recherche s’appuie sur la combinaison de deux méthodes : linguistique et statistique ; ce qui nous a permis d’analyser tous les phénomènes afférant au métissage linguistique et culturel dans les œuvre de Nana Asma’u. Notre corpus comprend 15 œuvres poétiques que nous avons lemmatisées en préalable aux calculs statistiques à l’aide du logiciel Excel. Les principaux résultats obtenus sur les formes graphiques, montrent une fréquence d’utilisation très élevée des emprunts arabes. L’association de l’analyse linguistique et des traitements informatiques, nous a permis ainsi de confirmer, de façon formelle et impartiale, que la plupart des emprunts les plus fréquents relèvent de domaines religieux, et donc liés aux lexiques de situationThe incursion of Islam in Sub-Saharan Africa from the 19th Century was operated through trans-Saharan commerce between the peoples of North Africa and those of the Sahel. This contact, maintained by the commercial caravans of these two peoples engendered the progressive islamisation of the Hausa-speaking populations. Under the influence of Arabic, several terms were introduced into Hausa lexicon. This Islamic effect comes with a revolution in the production of Arabic-Ajami literature. Thanks to the adaptation of Ajami writing, Nana Asma’u, a renowned polyglot, wrote several poetic works in the 18th Century, most of which are in the Hausa, Fulfulde and Arabic languages. On the basis of these observations, this thesis proposes to analyse the borrowed Arabic lexicon in the poetic works of the author, and their integration into the Hausa language. From the methodological perspective, our research work relies on a combination of two methods: linguistic and statistical; which enable us to analyse all the phenomena relating to linguistic and cultural hybridization in the works of Nana Asma’u. Our corpus is made up of poetic works that we have first of all lemmatized using statistical calculations with the help of Excel software. The principal results, obtained in the form graphs, indicate a frequency of very high usage of words borrowed from Arabic. The association of the linguistic and computer analyses enabled us to confirm, in a formal and impartial manner, that most of the frequent borrowings fall under religious domains, and as such linked to situational vocabulary

Las enteroparasitosis intestinales constituyen un problema de salud pública en Perú, debido a que estos parásitos pueden ingresar al organismo por vía oral y hábitos higiénico-sanitarios deficientes que facilitan su transmisión y conservación. Cuando la carga de dichos parásitos es considerablemente alta o se acompaña de alteraciones en la inmunidad del hospedero, se pueden producir complicaciones que comprometen seriamente la salud del paciente. Sabemos que el control farmacológico de las parasitosis es efectivo y seguro. No obstante, sin autocuidado y mantenimiento sostenible de buenas condiciones higiénico-sanitarias, no es posible su erradicación. Considerando lo mencionado anteriormente, desarrollaré la presente investigación en una población escolar de la Institución Educativa N° 6041 “Alfonso Ugarte” del distrito San Juan de Miraflores para determinar la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinales. Se eligió una muestra representativa conformada de 116 niños de 8 a 13 años. Las muestras fecales obtenidas fueron analizadas utilizando: examen macroscópico, método directo, método de Parodi Alcaraz y test de Graham. El 85.3% de los alumnos examinados resultaron parasitados. La incidencia parasitaria fue mayor en mujeres (86.8%) comparado a los hombres (83.6%). La frecuencia parasitaria de acuerdo al Monoparasitismo de los grupos taxonómicos fueron 35.3% del Phylum Amoebozoa, 3.4% del Phylum Metamonada, 3.4% del Phylum Platyhelminthes, 0.9% del Phylum Bigyra y 0.9% del Phylum Nematoda, con las especies Entamoeba coli, Giardia lamblia, Hymenolepis nana, Blastocystis hominis y Enterobius vermicularis, respectivamente. La mayor frecuencia correspondiente al Biparasitismo fue la asociación de los Phyla Metamonada y Amoebozoa con 32.8%. La mayor frecuencia correspondiente al Triparasitismo fue la asociación de los Phyla Metamonada, Amoebozoa y Platyhelminthes con 1.7%.
The intestinal enteroparasites constitute a public health problem in Peru, due to these parasites can enter the body by mouth and hygienic habits-poor health that facilitate its transmission and conservation. When the burden of such parasites is considerably high or is accompanied by alterations in the immunity of the host, it can produce complications which seriously compromise the health of the patient. We know that the pharmacological control of the parasitosis is effective and safe. However, self-care and sustainable maintenance of good hygienic and sanitary conditions, it is not possible to its eradication. Considering the above, I will develop this research in a school population of the Educational Institution N° 6041 "Alfonso Ugarte" of the district San Juan de Miraflores to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitism. I chosen a representative sample consisted of 116 children 8 to 13 years old.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Estudos FrancesesNeste trabalho, partimos de uma leitura comparativa – elegendo, para o efeito, dois romances de filiação naturalista: Nana, de Emile Zola, e O Livro de Alda, de Abel Botelho – à luz de uma poética do erotismo. Assim, começámos por salientar a apetência realista-naturalista para a representação do erotismo, principalmente na sua versão patológica e transgressiva, para, de seguida, podermos analisar os pontos de contacto e/ou de divergência existentes entre os referidos textos na abordagem da representação do corpo e do desejo femininos. Ora, não nos era possível avançar para uma análise comparativa sem, primeiro, efectuarmos uma retrospectiva das narrativas do século XIX, essencialmente as produzidas na segunda metade de Oitocentos. Procurámos, pois, debruçar-nos sobre um conjunto significativo de obras de vários autores, que, inegavelmente, contribuiu para uma nova reflexão sobre a metafísica do amor, da sedução e da sexualidade, contestando, portanto, o ideal romântico que defendia uma visão oposta da mulher, figurando-a como um objecto intocável e assexuado. De seguida, tentámos tecer algumas considerações teóricas sobre os conceitos inovadores realistas-naturalistas,visando sempre a construção simbólica de um imaginário erótico, sendo este representado por um sujeito enunciador de desejo – a mulher. Tentámos, também, demonstrar que a supremacia do discurso científico da época viria a contribuir para uma desmistificação da sexualidade feminina. Assim, a mulher, detentora de uma sensualidade exacerbada, seria objecto de estudo científico e representação literária, abrindo caminhos para o reconhecimento da sexualidade feminina, sem, contudo, deixar de salientar o lado perverso, maléfico e doentio dessas mulheres. Contudo, em obediência ao substrato realista-naturalista, o comportamento sexual desregrado tem sempre origem na hereditariedade, no meio e na educação. Estudada a estética naturalista e a figuração do corpo erótico na primeira parte do nosso trabalho, passámos a analisar, na segunda parte, os romances Nana e O Livro de Alda, intentando demonstrar a centralidade da figuração erótica feminina, quer na própria construção da narrativa, quer na codificação da temática realista-naturalista. ABSTRACT: In this dissertation we carry out a comparative reading of two naturalistic novels (Emile Zola’s Nana and Abel Botelho’s O Livro de Alda) in the light of the construction of a poetics of eroticism. We have started by highlighting the realistic-naturalistic preference for the textualization of eroticism, especially in its pathological and disruptive aspects, and have pointed out the similarities and divergences between both texts regarding the representation of the female desire and the female body. We wouldn’t be able to lead a comparative analysis had we not heeded the 19th narrative tradition with a special emphasis on novels written during the second half of the century. We have focussed on a significant number of works that have brought about a new reflection on the metaphysics of love, seduction and sexuality, in explicit opposition to the romantic ideal of the asexual untouchable female. We have made a few theoretical considerations about the innovative concepts defining realistic-naturalistic aesthetics pertaining to the symbolic construction of an erotic imaginary, as formulated by a female subject that clearly states her desire. We have attempted to show that the hegemony of the scientific discourse at the time has decisively furthered the demystification of female sexuality. It has therefore become the object of scientific and literary investigation, opening new paths for the recognition of female exacerbated sexuality, shedding some lighton the perverse and pathological side of these women. According to the realistic-naturalistic principles, deviant sexual behaviour is a by-product of heredity, environment and education. In the second section, we have analysed the novels Nana and O Livro de Alda, so as to highlight the representation of female eroticism in terms of narrative techniques and their relation to the realistic-naturalistic thematic frame of reference.

Full textAbstract:
South African organisations face the challenge of creating organisations that will engage employees in ways that allow for the optimisation of their strengths. This can be achieved by following a strength-based approach (SBA). An SBA aims to achieve optimisation of human functioning, where talents and strengths are the focus and weaknesses are understood and managed. Although previous research suggests that an SBA has positive influences on individual and organisational outcomes, no instrument exists within the South African context that measures employees’ perception of the extent to which they believe their organisation makes use of their strengths and talents. Recently, a new scale was developed to address this need. However, no studies have been done to see how well the items of this scale function.
The objectives of this research were to 1) conceptualise an SBA according to literature, 2) determine whether the items in the SBA scale are unidimensional, 3) to determine the internal validity and reliability of the new SBA scale, and 4) make recommendations for future research. A cross-sectional quantitative research design was used whereby online and hardcopy versions of the questionnaire were distributed to participants. A sample of 699 participants was collected from the Gauteng and North-West provinces. Rasch analysis was used to determine the reliability and validity of the items. Acceptable item reliability was found. Both the item and person separation indices were acceptable. Mean infit and outfit indices for both person and item were acceptable. The seven-point frequency-based Likert scale worked satisfactorily overall, although categories 0, 1, and 2 were under-utilised. Finally, the infit and outfit statistics for all eight items functioned satisfactorily, except for one item.
Recommendations are made for practice as well as for future research.Thesis (MA (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012
