Abstract

The present study deals with the morphology of the rat parotid gland and its changes after Trypanosoma cruzi infection. The glands of control and infected animals were analyzed by histologic and histoquantitative methods. After 1 8 days of infection with T. cruzi, a significant reduction of the density of the volume of the acini and duct system, as well as a significant increase in the amount of connective tissue was noted. In addition, these animals displayed an increase in the number of cells undergoing mitosis. In the 45 day infected rats, there was return to the normal pattern. It is suggested that in the infected animals the decrease in body weight could be responsible for retarded sexual maturity, leading to the lower level of testosterone. It can be assumed that decreased levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and neural growth factor (NGF) caused by the lack of testosterone in infected animals also contribute to the atrophy of the parotid gland and to the proliferation of the connective tissue.

Abstract

RESUMO Este artigo trata da disparidade étnico-racial entre os estudantes dos cursos de engenharia ofertados pelo Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG). Mediante estudo exploratório e análise dos dados, identificamos a prevalência de estudantes brancos, independentemente do campus analisado. Entre os engenheiros diplomados pela instituição no ano de 2017, esse padrão se perpetua, sinalizando a existência de um sistema de hierarquização racial, profissional e social. Nessa perspectiva, para os engenheiros negros diplomados pelo CEFET-MG e pertencentes ao grupo de renda mais baixo, ainda que atuantes em atividades inerentes à profissão, a possibilidade de mobilidade social é limitada. ABSTRACT This article deals with the ethnic-racial disparity among students of engineering courses offered by the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG), Brazil. Through exploratory study and data analysis, we identified the prevalence of white students, regardless of the analyzed campus. Among engineers graduated by the institution in 2017, this pattern is perpetuated, signaling the existence of a racial, professional, and social hierarchy system. In this perspective, for black engineers graduated by CEFET-MG and belonging to the lowest income group, even though engaged in activities inherent to the profession, the possibility of social mobility is limited.

Abstract

The forests of Amazonia are among the most biodiverse plant communities on Earth. Given the immediate threats posed by climate and land-use change, an improved understanding of how this extraordinary biodiversity is spatially organized is urgently required to develop effective conservation strategies. Most Amazonian tree species are extremely rare but a few are common across the region. Indeed, just 227 ‘hyperdominant’ species account for >50% of all individuals >10 cm diameter at 1.3 m in height. Yet, the degree to which the phenomenon of hyperdominance is sensitive to tree size, the extent to which the composition of dominant species changes with size class and how evolutionary history constrains tree hyperdominance, all remain unknown. Here, we use a large floristic dataset to show that, while hyperdominance is a universal phenomenon across forest strata, different species dominate the forest understory, midstory and canopy. We further find that, although species belonging to a range of phylogenetically dispersed lineages have become hyperdominant in small size classes, hyperdominants in large size classes are restricted to a few lineages. Our results demonstrate that it is essential to consider all forest strata to understand regional patterns of dominance and composition in Amazonia. More generally, through the lens of 654 hyperdominant species, we outline a tractable pathway for understanding the functioning of half of Amazonian forests across vertical strata and geographical locations.

Abstract

The sensitivity of tropical forest carbon to climate is a key uncertainty in predicting global climate change. Although short-term drying and warming are known to affect forests, it is unknown if such effects translate into long-term responses. Here, we analyze 590 permanent plots measured across the tropics to derive the equilibrium climate controls on forest carbon. Maximum temperature is the most important predictor of aboveground biomass (-9.1 megagrams of carbon per hectare per degree Celsius), primarily by reducing woody productivity, and has a greater impact per °C in the hottest forests (>32.2°C). Our results nevertheless reveal greater thermal resilience than observations of short-term variation imply. To realize the long-term climate adaptation potential of tropical forests requires both protecting them and stabilizing Earth's climate.
