Previous issue date: 2012-05-31 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / In this work, the paper of Campos and Dorea [3] was detailed. In that article a
Kernel Estimator was applied to a sequence of random variables with general
state space, which were independent and identicaly distributed. In chapter 2, the
estimator?s properties such as asymptotic unbiasedness, consistency in quadratic
mean, strong consistency and asymptotic normality were verified. In chapter 3,
using R software, numerical experiments were developed in order to give a visual
idea of the estimate process / Neste trabalho estudamos um dos m?todos n?o-param?trico: os Estimadores do
Tipo N?cleo associado a uma sequ?ncia de vari?veis aleat?rias independentes
e identicamente distribu?das com espa?o de estados geral, mais precisamente o
trabalho de Campos e Dorea [3]. No Cap?tulo 2 verificamos as boas qualidades
dessa classe de estimadores como n?o v?cio assint?tico, converg?ncia em m?dia
quadr?tica, consist?ncia forte e normalidade assint?tica. No Cap?tulo 3 com o
auxilio do software R temos uma id?ia visual do que ocorre no processo de

Previous issue date: 2007-12-07 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / In this study, two circadian related centres, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) were evaluated in respect to their cytoarchitecture, retinal afferents and chemical content of major cells and axon terminals with a tract tracer and immunohistochemical techniques in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris), a Brazilian caviidae rodent species. The rock cavy SCN is innervated in its ventral portion by terminals from the predominantly contralateral retina. It also contains neurophisin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide immunoreactive cell bodies and neuropeptide Y and enkephalin immunopositive
fibres and terminals and is marked by intense GFAP immunoreactivity. The IGL receives a predominantly contralateral retinal projection, contains neuropeptide Y and nitric oxide synthase producing neurons and enkephalin immunopositive terminals and is characterized by
dense GFAP immunoreactivity. This is the first report examining the neural circadian system in a crepuscular rodent species for which circadian properties have been described. The results are discussed comparing with what has been described for other species and in the context of the functional significance of these centres / O sistema de temporiza??o circadiana compreende um conjunto de estruturas neurais diferenciadas, que incluem um marcapasso central, o qual produz ritmicidade na aus?ncia de est?mulos externos; vias de entrada, incluindo as afer?ncias retininas, que permitem a sincroniza??o dos ritmos aos ciclos ambientais; e vias de sa?da, que conectam o marca-passo aos efetores comportamentais. Entre os componentes centrais do sistema de temporiza??o circadiana de mam?feros, destaca-se o n?cleo supraquiasm?tico (NSQ) do hipot?lamo, at? o presente o ?nico marca-passo circadiano formalmente comprovado, e o folheto intergeniculado (FIG) do complexo geniculado lateral do t?lamo, que atua como modulador do marca-passo. Neste estudo, estes dois centros foram avaliados com rela??o a sua citoarquitetura, padr?o de inerva??o retiniana e conte?do neuroqu?mico de c?lulas e
terminais ax?nicos, usando um tra?ador neural e t?cnicas imuno-histoqu?micas no moc? (Kerodon rupestris), um roedor nativo do Nordeste Brasileiro, cuja atividade locomotora
exibe um padr?o circadiano predominantemente crepuscular. O NSQ do moc? ? inervado em sua por??o ventrolateral por terminais da retina predominantemente contralateral. O NSQ ?
dotado de neur?nios contendo neurofisina (NPH) e polipept?deo intestinal vasoativo (VIP) e as prote?nas ligantes de c?lcio calbindina (CB) e cal-retinina (CR), terminais imunorreativos a neuropept?deo Y (NPY) e encefalina (ENK) e ? tamb?m marcado por imunorreatividade ? prote?na ac?dica fibrilar glial (GFAP). O FIG recebe uma proje??o retiniana
predominantemente contralateral, cont?m neur?nios produtores de NPY, CB e CR, terminais positivos para ENK e ? marcado por imunorreatividade a GFAP. Este ? o primeiro trabalho a examinar o sistema de temporiza??o circadiana (STC) numa esp?cie de roedor crepuscular, para o qual as propriedades formais dos ritmos circadianos tenham sido descritas. Os resultados s?o comparados com resultados previamente descritos em outras esp?cies diurnas e
noturnas e discutidos no seu contexto funcional

Previous issue date: 2009-10-29 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / The thalamus plays an important role in the sensorial processing information, in this particular case, the visual information. Several neuronal groups have been characterized as conductors and processors of important sensorial information to the cerebral cortex. The lateral geniculate complex is one to them, and appears as a group very studied once it is responsible, in almost all totality, for the processing of visual information.
Among the nuclei that constitute the lateral geniculate complex we highlight the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus (DLG), the main thalamic relay for the visual information. This nucleus is located rostral and lateral to medial geniculate nucleus and ventral to thalamic pulvinar nucleus in most of the mammals. In the primates humans and non-humans, it presents as a laminate structure, arranged in layers, when observed in coronal sections. The objective of this work was to do a mapping of the retinal projections and a citoarchictetonic and neurochemical characterization of DLG in the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), a New World primate. The retinal projections were traced by anterograde transport of subunit b of cholera toxin (CTb), the citoarchicteture was described by Nissl method, and to neurochemical characterization immunohistochemicals technical were used to examine the main neurotransmitters and neuroatives substances present in this neural center. In DGL of marmoset thalamus, in coronal sections labeled by Nissl method, was possible to visualize the division of this nucleus in four layers divided in two portions: magnocellular and parvocellular. The retinal projections were present being visualized fibers and terminals immunorreactives to CTb (IR-CTb) in the DLG ipsilateral and contralateral. And through the immunohistochemicals techniques was observed that DLG contain cells, fibers and/or terminals immunoreactives against neuronal nuclear protein, subunits of AMPA 15 glutamate receptors (GluR1, GluR2/3, GluR4), choline acetyltransferase, serotonin, glutamic acid decarboxylase, binding calcium proteins (calbindin, parvalbumin and calretinin), vasopressin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and an astrocyte protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein. / O t?lamo exerce um importante papel no processamento de informa??es sensoriais, em particular, a informa??o visual. V?rios grupos neuronais j? foram caracterizados como condutores e processadores de informa??es sensoriais importantes para o c?rtex cerebral. O complexo geniculado lateral ? um deles e aparece como um grupo muito estudado uma vez que ? respons?vel, em quase toda sua totalidade, pelo processamento de informa??o visual. Entre os n?cleos que constituem o complexo geniculado lateral destacamos o n?cleo geniculado lateral dorsal do t?lamo (GLD), o principal rel? tal?mico para as informa??es visuais. Este n?cleo se localiza rostral e lateral ao n?cleo geniculado medial e ventral ao n?cleo pulvinar do t?lamo na maioria dos mam?feros. Nos primatas humanos e n?o humanos, apresenta-se como uma estrutura laminar, disposto em camadas, quando observada em sec??es coronais. O objetivo neste trabalho foi fazer um mapeamento da proje??o retiniana e uma caracteriza??o citoarquitet?nica e neuroqu?mica do GLD no Callithrix jacchus (sag?i), um primata do Novo Mundo. As proje??es retinianas foram tra?adas por transporte anter?grado da subunidade B da toxina col?rica (CTb), a citoarquitetura foi descrita atrav?s do m?todo de Nissl, e para a caracteriza??o neuroqu?mica t?cnicas imunoistoqu?micas foram utilizadas para examinar os principais neurotransmissores e subst?ncias neuroativas presentes neste centro neural. No GLD do t?lamo do sag?i, nas sec??es coronais coradas pelo m?todo de Nissl, foi poss?vel visualizar a divis?o desse n?cleo em quatro camadas dividas em duas por??es: magnocelular e parvocelular. As proje??es retinianas estavam presentes visualizando-se fibras e terminais imunorreativos a CTb (CTb- IR) no GLD ipsolateral e contralateral. E atrav?s das t?cnicas imunoistoqu?micas observou-se que o GLD cont?m c?lulas, fibras e/ou terminais 13 imunorreativos a prote?na nuclear neuronal, subunidades dos receptores AMPA de glutamato (GluR1, GluR2/3, GluR4), colina acetiltransferase, serotonina, descarboxilase do ?cido glut?mico, prote?nas ligantes de c?lcio (calbindina, calretinina e parvalbumina), vasopressina, polipept?deo intestinal vasoativo, e uma prote?na astrocit?ria, prote?na ac?dica fibrilar glial.

Limitations and liabilities: Flanner House, Planned Parenthood, and African American birth control in 1950s IndianapolisBrown, Rachel Christine 09 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis analyzes the relationship between Flanner House, an African
American settlement house, and Planned Parenthood of Central Indiana to determine why
Flanner House director Cleo Blackburn would not allow a birth control clinic to be
established at the Herman G. Morgan Health Center in 1951. Juxtaposing the scholarship
of African Americans and birth control with the historiography of black settlement
houses leads to the conclusion that Blackburn’s refusal to add birth control to the health
center’s services had little to do with the black Indianapolis community’s opinions on
birth control; instead, Flanner House was confined by conservative limitations imposed
on it by white funders and organizations.
The thesis examines the success of Blackburn and Freeman B. Ransom,
Indianapolis’s powerful black leaders, in working within the system of limitations to
establish the Morgan Health Center in 1947. Ransom and Blackburn received monetary
support from the United Fund, the Indianapolis Foundation, and the U.S. Children’s
Bureau, which stationed one of its physicians, Walter H. Maddux, in Indianapolis. The
Center also worked as a part of the Indianapolis City Board of Health’s public health
program. These organizations and individuals did not support birth control at this time
and would greatly influence Blackburn’s decision about providing contraceptives.
In 1951, Planned Parenthood approached Blackburn about adding birth control to
the services at Morgan Health Center. Blackburn refused, citing the Catholic influence on
the Flanner House board. While acknowledging the anti-birth control stance of
Indianapolis Catholics, the thesis focuses on other factors that contributed to Blackburn’s
decision and argues that the position of Flanner House as a black organization funded by
conservative white organizations had more impact than any religious sentiment; birth
control would have been a liability for the Morgan Health Center as adding
contraceptives could have threatened the funding the Center needed in order to serve the
African American community. Finally, the position of Planned Parenthood and Flanner
House as subordinate organizations operating within the limitations of Indianapolis
society are compared and found to be similar.
