Introduction: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the main agent of myelopathy associated with HTLV-1 or tropical paraparespatic (MAH / PET). Clinical and neurological manifestations in patients infected with HTLV-1 without myelopathy are documented at a higher frequency in HTLV-1 carriers than in seronegative controls, but little is known about the ability of this virus to cause female sexual dysfunction. These manifestations can negatively affect the sexual life of these wome...

It all started with Ananse. Then came Zélia, Lélia, Jane. And they continue. We arrived and joined them. We continue (almost) all here. Since Ananse, we have produced technologies and used them critically, for an unbreakable silver web cannot be just anything; it is undoubtedly a communicative phenomenon and unquestionably a technology. A technology of care, entanglement, and resistance. This is where this thesis starts. Through it, we navigate Amazonian waters discussing infrastructures, acc...

Brazilian contemporary dance, as a form of artistic expression, has been influenced by a rich cultural and historical tapestry. However, the presence and recognition of black creative artists in this context face significant challenges, resulting in persistent invisibility. Despite the challenges, many black people, artists, in the Brazilian contemporary dance scene have adopted creative and resilient strategies to face invisibility. This includes creating collectives, festivals and initiativ...

This dissertation consists of the critical organization of a succession of encounters and affections from artistic experiences that comprise an authorial journey of a dancer, choreographer and director, from the moment when an artistic training begins – the experience as a collaborative interpreter in some companies of dance, in Brazil and Germany – until the moment when creation begins to be characterized by intense partnerships and dialogues with artists from other fields of art, within the...

The research addressed dance as a curricular component of Elementary School. The main objective was to investigate knowledge and theoretical-practical practices of a conceptual, procedural, and attitudinal nature to formulate a proposal for a curricular framework for teaching Dance as a component of Elementary Education, in Full-Time schools in the City of Teresina, Piauí. The following questions mobilized the development of the investigation: in what way/s is Dance inserted in schools? How h...

In this paper, inspired by Conceição Evaristo, I present my Escrevivências, my personal and professional path centered on teaching and learning foreign languages, mainly German, as a black woman and teacher/researcher in this context. Speaking another language has given me other ways of being in the world. Usually, access to learning is a privilege for elitist bodies, and access to learning German for black bodies is almost a transgression. Thus, this dissertation is to make known and problem...

This quantitative-qualitative work aims to contribute to the morphological description of the Brazilian Portuguese, with a focus on collaborating with research in the field of linguistics. This process is established through the collection and analysis of data from oral interviews conducted by the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil Project. This sample includes 92 speakers from 22 locations in the state of Bahia, who were selected through parameters previously established by the Project. The focus of...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of inclusion of sources of unsaturated fatty acids in diets for buffaloes on the consumption and apparent digestibility of nutrients, ruminal fermentation, ingestive behavior of the animals. Four buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) Murrah, approximately 24 months old, castrated, cannulated in the rumen and with initial mean weight of 407 ± 60 kg were used. The animals were randomly distributed in a 4 × 4 Latin square design, in a 2 × 2 factorial...

The use of antibiotics concomitantly with in ovo vaccination has been carried out routinely in industrial hatcheries. However, research on the implications of this procedure is scarce. A large-scale experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of using the antimicrobial gentamicin associated with Marek's vaccination in ovo on the incubation performance, quality and morphophysiology of newly hatched chicks. Eggs from 35-week-old Cobb® breeders were divided into two treatments, based on w...

Acacia mearnsii extract has been used as a source of condensed tannin (TC) and has the potential to improve nitrogen utilization in ruminant production. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of Acacia mearnsii as a source of TC on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance and rumen fermentation in Nellore bulls finished in feedlot. Four crossbred, castrated cattle equipped with a rumen cannula, with an average body weight of 446 (± 34) kg were distr...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of diet supplementation with monensin and saponins alone or combined with essential oils (EOs) on the nutrient intake and apparent digestibility, rumen fermentation parameters, microbial population, nitrogen balance, ruminal microbial protein synthesis, blood metabolites, and milk composition, yield and fatty acid (FA) profile of mid- to late-lactating Jersey cows. Eight ruminally cannulated lactating Jersey cows (average 17.6 ± 5.5 kg/day of milk yiel...

Violence against women is a multifactorial phenomenon of great magnitude, which causes physical, sexual and psychological suffering or causes property damage. It is recognized as a violation of human rights, and increases global morbidity and mortality indicators, gaining a collective character and alerting public spheres around the world. Faced with the entire scenario of morbidity and mortality and public burden, in 2006, the Maria da Penha Law was enacted in Brazil, with the aim of curbing...

The present study aims to offer, from the perspective of Economic Criminal Law, essential dogmatic contours to the crime of currency evasion, included in article 22 of Law no. 7,492/86. Going through an analysis of the context of the emergence of the criminal type in question, in which the consequences of the hasty adoption of an unprecedented criminal protection for the National Financial System are elucidated in an attempt to resolve the country's economic instability, initially, the t...

This work sought to develop research around the historical, cultural, and legal milestones of the Native Peoples of Brazil, particularly the Tuxá People of Rodelas – BA. We conducted a survey on the formation of Brazilian history, whose theoretical and empirical developments allowed, both in the past and present, the formulation of diagnoses specific to the national reality of the native peoples. From this initial observation, the research delimited the time frames and began the process of de...

This research is part of the studies of race and gender relations that have debated on the political participation of black women in Brazil. Pretend to renew these studies based on the collective action of the Network of Black Women of the Northeast (RMNN) during the process of building the 1st March of Black Women in Brasília against Racism, Violence and for the Good Life (2011-2015) and in a theoretical framework that fits the assumptions of contemporary sociological theories, decolonial bl...

Plastics are materials that have been widely used in modern society. Among them, microplastics (plastics smaller than 5 mm in diameter) have been raising concerns due to their high capacity for dispersion and accumulation, which can be widely found in coastal regions worldwide. Plastic pellets are raw materials for plastic products. Pellets are small in size and have a granular shape. They can be lost during industrial and transportation processes. Several studies have reported the prese...

This paper analyzes the trade flow between Brazil and China, encompassing both imports and exports. The study examines the impacts of specialization in the key sectors of this trade flow, such as trade gains or potential enclaves that may arise as a consequence. Both purchases from and sales to China during the period are concentrated in specific sectors, as exemplified by exports predominantly represented by the aforementioned agricultural and mineral commodities. This paper seeks to co...
