A Guarda Nacional foi uma milícia criada pelos liberais durante a Regência e participou ativamente da vida institucional do Brasil no processo de formação do Estado Nacional no oitocentos. Neste sentido, pretendemos evidenciar o sistema eletivo para o oficialato da milícia cívica como um mecanismo de teste do prestígio social dos oficiais civis, no período entre 1831 e 1850, numa tentativa de esmiuçar o microcosmo social dos indivíduos arregimentados no afã do espírito de associação territorial do Império e de legitimidade do Estado / This paper broaches the National Guard’s officers in the present State of Minas Gerais in the special city of Mariana. The National Guard was a militia created by liberals during the Regency and participated actively in the institutional life of Brazil in the National State’s formation process in eighteen hundred. So, this paper intends to show the officers’s election of civic militia as a test mechanism of officers’s social prestige, in the period between 1831 and 1850, trying to research about the social microcosmos of individuals enlisted in association spirit of Empire territory and State’s legitimacy

O presente trabalho apresenta uma nova espécie de Sphenophyta, Phyllotheca longifolia nov. sp., para o Permiano Inferior da Bacia do Paraná. O material correspondente a nova espécie foi coletado no Afloramento Morro do Papaléo, em níveis restritos ao Grupo Itararé, e mostram uma diversidade única de formas vivendo em um mesmo ambiente e preservadas em uma associação autóctone-parautóctone. P. Longifolia nov. sp. que possui alguma semelhança morfológica com formas angáricas (Phyllopitys e Annulina), é caracterizada por seus longos folíolos livres e suas bainhas curtas em forma de copo, sendo a segunda nova espécie do morfogênero Phyllotheca descrita para o Afloramento Morro do Papaléo. Deste modo, este estudo contribui elucidando sobre a classificação de formas consideradas antes relacionadas à morfoespécie Phyllotheca indica, e agora re-alocadas para esta nova espécie. Com a determinação taxonômica dessas formas, e uma compreensão mais acurada da riqueza de esfenófitas presente nesta associação fóssil, este trabalho fornece alicerces para a realização de estudos futuros de cunho paleoecológico, bem como auxilia na compreensão da evolução do grupo dentro do Permiano da Bacia do Paraná. / The present study offers a new species of Sphenophyta, Phyllotheca longifolia sp. nov., for the Lower Permian of Paraná Basin. The material corresponding to the new species was recovered from the Morro do Papaléo Outcrop, in levels restricted to the Itararé Group which show a unique diversity of forms, living in the same environment and preserved in a autochthonousparautochthonous association. P. longifolia sp. nov., which has some morphological similarities with angaric forms (Phyllopitys and Annulina), is characterized by its long leaves and short cup-like sheaths, being the second new species of morphogenus Phyllotheca described for the Morro do Papaléo Outcrop. In his way, this study contributes to elucidate on the forms before considerated as related to morphospecies Phyllotheca indica, and now re-classified in this new species. With the taxonomic determination of this new form, and a more accurate comprehension of the sphenopsid richness present in this fossil association, this contribution provides background to future studies of paleoecological nature, as well as aids in the comprehension on the evolution of this group in the Permian strata of Paraná Basin.

This thesis investigated the phytochemistry and pharmacology of immunomodulatory medicinal plant species used traditionally by the Q’eqchi’ Maya Healers Association (QMHA) of Belize, and the Cree of Eeyou Istchee (CEI) of northern Quebec. Using quantitative ethnobotanical methodology, we identified 107 plant species belonging to 49 families used by Q’eqchi’ healers in the treatment of symptoms from 14 usage categories related to inflammation. Regression analysis revealed that the Piperaceae, Araceae, and Begoniaceae are preferentially selected by the Maya. Healer consensus for plant species was high, with 56 species (52%) being used by all the healers, and consensus for usage categories was also high, as informant consensus factor (FIC) values for each category were greater than 0.4. Fifty-two Belizean species were evaluated for their TNF-α inhibitory activity in an LPS-stimulated THP-1 monocyte model. Twenty-one species (40%) demonstrated significant TNF-α inhibition when assayed at 100 µg/mL, 8 of which had greater than 50% of the activity of the parthenolide positive control (10 µg/mL). Significant regressions were found between the anti-inflammatory activity and total healer frequency of use (Fuse) and the use reports for 3 usage categories, which indicated that ethnobotanical parameters can in part predict the activity of traditionally used species. Five sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the leaves of Neurolaena lobata, one of the most active species tested, all of which demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity greater than that of parthenolide (IC50 = 4.79 µM), with IC50s ranging from 0.17-2.32 µM. Lobatin B was the most active isolate tested. Ethanolic and water extracts of 17 species used by Cree healers were evaluated for their immunomodulatory activity. In general, the average anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extracts was 1.8 times greater than that of water extracts, and the pro-inflammatory activity of water extracts was 3.7 times greater than ethanolic extracts. Picea mariana and Pinus banksiana were the most anti-inflammatory ethanolic and water extracts, while the water extract of Sarracenia purpurea was the most pro-inflammatory. Picea marina cones, the most anti-inflammatory Cree medicine, were subjected to bioassay guided isolation. This led to the isolation of the anti-inflammatory lignan (+)-lariciresinol-9’-p-coumarate, which had an IC50 of 28.4 µM. Together, these results validate the traditional knowledge shared by our Q’eqchi’ and Cree collaborators, and draw attention to the therapeutic potential of subtropical and boreal plants as culturally appropriate complements to modern medicine. - Cette thèse porte sur la phytochimie et la pharmacologie des espèces de plantes médicinales immunomodulatrices utilisées traditionnellement par le Q’eqchi’ Maya Healers Association (QMHA) du Belize, et les Cris d'Eeyou Istchee (CEI) du nord du Québec. En utilisant une méthodologie ethnobotanique quantitative, nous avons identifié 107 espèces végétales appartenant à 49 familles utilisées par les guérisseurs Q'eqchi’ dans le traitement de symptômes appartenant à 14 catégories d'utilisation liées à l'inflammation. Une analyse de régression a révélé que les familles Piperaceae, Araceae, et Begoniaceae sont préférentiellement choisis par les Mayas. Le consensus entre guérisseurs pour les espèces végétales était élevé, avec 56 espèces (52%) étant utilisés par tous les guérisseurs, et le consensus pour les catégories d'utilisation était également élevé, car les valeurs de facteur de consensus des informants (FIC) pour chaque catégorie étaient supérieurs à 0,4. Cinquante-deux espèces du Belize ont été évaluées pour leur activité inhibitrice de TNF-α dans un modèle de THP-1 monocytes stimulés par le LPS. Vingt-et-une espèces (40%) ont montré une inhibition significative de TNF-α lorsque dosés à 100 µg/mL, dont 8 d’entre elles ont démontrées plus de 50% de l'activité du contrôle positif parthénolide (10 µg/mL). Des régressions significatives ont été observées entre l'activité anti-inflammatoire et la fréquence d'utilisation de guérisseurs totale (Fuse) et les rapports d'utilisation pour 3 catégories d'utilisation, ce qui indique que les paramètres ethnobotaniques peuvent en partie prédire l'activité des espèces traditionnellement utilisées. Cinq lactones sesquiterpéniques ont été isolés à partir des feuilles de Neurolaena lobata, l'une des espèces les plus actives testées, qui a démontré une activité anti-inflammatoire supérieure à celle du parthénolide (CI50 = 4,79 µM), avec des CI50 allant de 0,17 à 2,32 µM. Lobatin B était l’isolât le plus actif testé. Des extraits éthanoliques et aqueux de 17 espèces utilisées par les guérisseurs Cris ont été évalués pour leur activité immunomodulatrice. En général, l'activité anti-inflammatoire moyenne des extraits éthanoliques était 1,8 fois supérieure à celle des extraits d'eau, et l'activité pro-inflammatoire des extraits d'eau était de 3,7 fois supérieure à celle des extraits éthanoliques. Picea mariana et Pinus banksiana étaient les extraits éthanoliques et aqueux avec le plus d’activité anti-inflammatoire, tandis que l'extrait aqueux de Sarracenia purpurea était le plus pro-inflammatoire. Le cône de Picea marina, le médicament traditionnelle Cris le plus anti-inflammatoire, a été soumis à une isolation guidée par essais biologiques. Cela a mené à l'isolement du lignane anti-inflammatoire (+)-lariciresinol-9'-p-coumarate, qui avait une CI50 de 28,4 µM. Ensemble, ces résultats valident les connaissances traditionnelles partagées par nos collaborateurs Q'eqchi' et Cris, et mettent en évidence le potentiel thérapeutique des plantes subtropicales et boréales comme des compléments à la médecine moderne qui sont culturellement appropriées.

Researchers have learned much about the biological assemblages that form around hydrothermal vents. However, identities of species in these assemblages and their basic ecological features are often lacking. In 2015, the first leg of the Hydrothermal Hunt expedition identified likely new vent sites in the Mariana Back-arc Spreading Center (BASC). In 2016, the second leg of the expedition used a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to confirm and sample two new sites and two previously known sites. My first objective is to identify the animals collected from these four vent sites. In these samples, I identify 42 animal taxa, including the discovery of four new vent-associated species, five potentially new species and six taxa not previously reported in the Mariana BASC vents. My second objective is to combine these new data with previous studies and examine the species distributions among all known vent sites in the Mariana BASC using the α-, β-, and γ-diversity framework. I present updated species absence-presence lists for all eight Mariana BASC vent sites, which begin to resolve some of the issues with species identification. In this thesis, my approach to assessing β-diversity is novel in the field of hydrothermal vent ecology. My work also provides the first intra-regional scale assessments of β-diversity that include all sites known in a vent system. My third objective is to explore environmental factors driving these species distribution patterns. The α-diversity of BASC vent sites gradually increases with latitude, and the β-diversity calculated using the Raup-Crick index correlates with distance to nearby vent sites. Stochastic assembly processes likely shape the diversity patterns throughout the Mariana BASC as few environmental variables are known to correlate with these patterns. My fourth objective is to compare the β-diversity patterns between the Mariana BASC vent sites and those in two other vent systems: the Mariana Arc and the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The γ- and average α-diversity values for the BASC vents are relatively low compared to the other two systems. The Jaccard index revealed that the average number of shared species among the Arc vent sites is much lower than those of the BASC and the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The Raup-Crick index indicates that stochastic processes explain the average β-diversity of the Mariana BASC vents better than those of the Mariana Arc and Juan de Fuca Ridge. / Graduate / 2021-04-17

[pt] Este trabalho utiliza o caso do desastre de Mariana (2015) como casogatilho para analisar a abordagem jurídica das corporações no contexto de produção econômica de falhas em barragens de rejeito. A personalidade jurídica de corporações carrega o mistério de ser similar a uma pessoa física, juridicamente, ao mesmo tempo em que completamente diferente de uma pessoa humana quando vista por fora da dimensão jurídica. Assim sendo, é analisado o conceito de personalidade jurídica corporativa conforme as teorias hegemônicas do direito, revelando suas insuficiências para abordar o caso do desastre de Mariana. Em seguida, são a avaliadas alternativas teóricas nos estudos de Evguieni Pachukanis e alguns autores que fazem referência aos seus conceitos. Os limites e potencialidades identificados na construção teórica pachukaniana conduzem à elaboração preliminar do conceito de personalidade jurídica corporativa e suas dinâmicas internas em dois passos. Primeiro, revisitando as teorias do fetichismo do capital e da forma-valor, que levam à uma melhor compreensão de formas mais desenvolvidas e fetichizadas como no caso do capital portador de juros, bem como o papel das transações jurídicas no circuito do capital. Segundo, revisitando a construção histórica da forma corporativa e dos seus atributos legais nos Estados Unidos da América e Reino Unido. Finalmente, são propostas algumas características e dinâmicas para interpretação da personalidade jurídica corporativa, considerando as variáveis descritas na análise prévia do desastre de Mariana. / [en] This work uses the Mariana mining disaster (2015) as a trigger case to analyze how corporations are legally perceived in the context of disasters, specifically, tailings dam failures. The legal personality of corporations carries the mystery of being similar to a natural person judicially at the same time that are completely different from a human person when analyzed outside of the legal realm. Under that puzzle, the corporate legal personality nature was analyzed before the hegemonic theories of Brazilian legal scholars, revealing their insufficiencies to approach the Mariana Mining Disaster. Subsequently, an alternative approach is assessed through the studies of Evguieni Pashukanis and some recent authors that endorse his main ideas. Pashukanis reveals potentialities and limits that led to a proper elaboration of the corporate legal personhood concept and its internal dynamics in two steps. Firstly, revisiting the capital fetishism and the value-form theories, which led to a better understanding of the most developed and fetishized forms of capital, the interest bearing capital, as well as the contradictory developments between the capital and productive circuits. Secondly, revisiting the historic construction of the corporate form and its legal features in both USA and United Kingdom, in order to perceive the ascension of the corporate legal personality concept. Finally, some the corporate legal personhood concept characteristics and dynamics are proposed. / [de] Diese Dissertation nimmt den Fall der Tragodie von Mariana (2015) als Ausgangspunkt, um zu analysieren, wie Unternehmen im Zusammenhang von Naturkatastrophen – insbesondere von Dammbrüchen – rechtlich wahrgenommen werden. Unternehmen als juristische Personen tragen ein Geheimnis in sich: Einerseits sind sie rechtlich gesehen den natürlichen Personen ahnlich, andererseits sind sie aber auberhalb des rechtlichen Raums ganz anders als menschliche Personen. Zunachst wird der von den vorherrschenden Rechtstheorien vertretene Begriff der Rechtspersonlichkeit des Unternehmens herausgearbeitet und dessen Unzugänglichkeiten bei der Analyse der Tragodie von Mariana werden aufgezeigt. Anschliebend wird der alternative Ansatz von Evguieni Pashukanis und seinen Nachfolgern analysiert. Die bei Pashukanis identifizierten Grenzen und Potenziale fuhren zu der Formulierung eines neuen Begriffs der Rechtspersonlichkeit des Unternehmens und deren internen Dynamiken, und zwar in zwei Schritten. Erstens werden die Konzeption des Kapitalfetischismus und die der Wertform wieder aufgegriffen, was zu einem besseren Verstandnis der entwickeltesten und fetischisiertesten Auspragungen des Phänomens führt, namlich des Falles des verzinslichen Kapitals sowie der Rolle juristischer Transaktionen im Kapitalkreislauf. Zweitens wird die historische Konstruktion der Unternehmensform und deren rechtlichen Eigenschaften sowohl in den USA als auch in Grobbritannien rekonstruiert. Zum Schluss werden einige Merkmale und Dynamiken zur Deutung der Rechtspersonlichkeit des Unternehmens vorgeschlagen, wobei die Variablen berücksichtigt werden, die in der vorherigen Analyse der Tragodie von Mariana beschrieben wurden.

Master of Science / Department of Apparel, Textiles, and Interior Design / Joy Kozar / This study examines colonization, development, and globalization in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) with respect to the garment industry, the main industry of the islands. A broad-reaching analysis examined population, gender, economic factors, and import/export data in order to explore the repercussions of garment industry development and subsequent decline on the CNMI. A quantitative analysis was conducted utilizing data from the United States Census Bureau, the CNMI's Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Textiles and Apparel. This research illustrates how the effects of the garment industry in small developing nations are dramatically impacted by a trade arrangement, the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA), which was a protectionist measure used to restrict manufacturing of certain product through a quota system. In addition, this study reveals the economic implications and societal outcomes for the CNMI after the collapse of the garment industry as a result of the 2005 MFA phase-out. Garment production orders shifted to large producer nations once quota restrictions were no longer in place. Factory closures, lost business revenue, and a loss of manufacturing positions affecting predominantly women plagued the CNMI as well as cost-of-living increases. Federalization of the CNMI took place in 2009 which further complicated the islands’ politics and guest worker population status. Tourism is now the CNMI's chief industry although its growth is dismal and heavily reliant upon world economies. A comparison between Mauritius, another small island nation, concludes the discussion with insight on women's development and future considerations for economic growth as a means of development and dependency in the CNMI.

Realizamos neste trabalho uma análise das aparições de Nossa Senhora no Brasil, buscando compreender o processo social e simbólico que sustenta a formação de convicções coletivas em torno das aparições que sempre tem seu início em testemunhos pessoais sobre visões de Nossa Senhora. Para isso partimos do estudo de caso realizado nas aparições de Maria na cidade de Jacareí, interior de São Paulo. Demonstramos o processo de construção destas manifestações, em que fatores de diferente ordem se mostraram fundamentais. Entre eles destacamos: as relações e conexões estabelecidas entre os atores e grupos envolvidos inserindo a aparição numa rede de manifestações marianas -; a peregrinação entre elas; a centralidade do movimento católica Renovação Carismática na organização dos eventos, disseminação de idéias e práticas e na modelagem simbólica dos fenômenos -; o papel desempenhado pela Igreja Católica na produção de idéias e crenças que servem como fonte de legitimidade para as aparições -; a modelagem simbólica das aparições fundamental para a atribuição de legitimidade ao fenômeno -, e a presença de elementos simbólicos de longa duração. Cada um desses temas foi desenvolvido ao longo dos quatro capítulos que compõem essa tese. / The thesis analyses Our Ladys appearances in Brazil, trying to understand the social and symbolic process supporting the creation of collective beliefs about these appearances, a process that always start with personal witness about the appearances of Our Lady. In order to analyze that, we realize a case study in the city of Jacareí, São Paulo state. The thesis reveals the process in which these appearances occur, where different factors are fundamental. Among them we shall focus: 1) the relations and connections involving individuals and groups, inserting the apparitions in a net of Mary´s demonstrations, like pilgrimages; 2) the Catholic Church role in the production of ideas and beliefs which give legitimacy to the appearances; 3) the symbolic molding of theses appearances, which are fundamental to that legitimacy; 4) the presence of long terms symbolic elements. Each one of these topics was developed in a separate chapter.

Padre, professor, redator de diferentes jornais, deputado provincial e geral, Bhering começou sua carreira no Seminário de Mariana, de onde foi expulso em 1829 pelo bispo D. Frei José da Santíssima Trindade em função das suas ideias filosóficas e de seu posicionamento político liberal. Sua demissão, tida como injusta e arbitrária pelos "patriotas mineiros", possibilitou a projeção de seu nome e fomentou uma nova fase em sua carreira, quando assumiu cargos representativos na educação e na política. Sua trajetória se entrelaça com a história política do Brasil. Bhering vivenciou acontecimentos marcantes do Primeiro Reinado, do período Regencial e do Segundo Reinado, tendo tomado parte, na condição de autoridade constituída, de movimentos, discussões e decisões que interferiram no rumo dos acontecimentos. Homem de inteligência aguçada, liberal convicto e combativo, atuou ao lado de figuras importantes da história brasileira, tanto no âmbito da Corte, como em sua província natal, Minas Gerais.

Priest, teacher, editor of various newspapers, provincial and general deputy, Bhering began his career in the Seminário de Mariana, from which it was expelled in 1829 by Bishop Frei José da Santíssima Trindade on the basis of his philosophical ideas and his liberal political position. His dismissal, seen as unfair and arbitrary by "patriotas mineiros", made possible the projection of his name and fomented a new phase in his career, when he took representative positions in education and politics. His career is intertwined with the political history of Brazil. Bhering experienced significant events of the First Empire, the Regencial period and the Second Empire, having taken part, as a constituted authority, in movements, discussions and decisions that interfere with the course of events. Man of keen intelligence, a combative liberal, he worked alongside important figures in Brazilian history, both within the Court of Rio de Janeiro, as in his home province of Minas Gerais. In 1849 he joined the "Regresso conservador", as did many other liberals who believed in the stability and progress of the Empire. For this change was strongly opposed by former allies. Our intention was to follow their actions and ideas through his writings and speeches, which held the defense of a national project.
