For that, the food items have been identified, classified and quantified by numeric frequency and occurrence. Were also obtained some morphometric data of both S. brasiliensis larvae and prey captured by them. For the larvae were assessed standard length and size of the mouth, while the prey has been evaluated the maximum height of the body. The material analyzed was collected in the Ilha Grande National Park region in a lotic remaining stretch of the Paraná River, in 18 stations distributed in the main channel, its tributaries and oxbow lakes. The diet of the larvae was predominantly composed of fish larvae, especially of Characiformes and Siluriformes. Cannibalism cases were reported demonstrating that this is a characteristic behavior of the species, and is independent on the availability of other food items. Dorado's larvae show a negative allometric relationship between the proportion size of the upper jaw relative to the standard length, it means, those variables do not grow proportionally throughout the growth. It was observed that there is no selectivity when taking into consideration the height of consumed prey, but their sizes remained within the maximum intake limit, and neither the heights of prey or even the height of the mouth were a factor limiting of intake. / Com o objetivo de avaliar a dieta de larvas de Salminus brasiliensis em ambiente natural, foi analisado o conteúdo estomacal de 200 de indivíduos com comprimento padrão variando entre 7.00 a 13.99 milímetros. Para tanto, os itens alimentares foram identificados e quantificados quanto à frequência numérica e de ocorrência. Foram obtidos alguns dados morfométricos tanto das larvas de S. brasiliensis como das presas ingeridas. Para as larvas foram avaliados o comprimento padrão e tamanho da boca, enquanto que das presas foi avaliado a altura máxima do corpo. O material analisado foi coletado na região do Parque Nacional de Ilha Grande em um trecho do remanescente lótico do rio Paraná, em 18 estações distribuídas na calha principal, seus tributários e lagoas marginais. A dieta das larvas foi composta predominantemente por larvas de peixes, principalmente de Characiformes e Siluriformes. Casos de canibalismo foram registrados demonstrando que este é um comportamento característico da espécie, e independe da disponibilidade de outros itens alimentares. As larvas do dourado apresentam uma relação alométrica negativa entre a proporção do tamanho da maxila superior e o comprimento padrão, isto é, essas variáveis não se desenvolvem proporcionalmente ao longo do crescimento. Pôde-se observar também que não há uma seletividade alimentar quando se leva em consideração a altura das presas consumidas, mas que seus tamanhos mantiveram-se dentro do limite máximo de ingestão, sendo que tanto as alturas das presas e quanto a abertura da boca foram um fator limitante na ingestão.

O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o melhor nível de energia para poedeiras comerciais submetidas ou não a segunda debicagem, sobre o desempenho produtivo, qualidade de ovo e viabilidade econômica. Para tanto, foram utilizadas 640 poedeiras, distribuídas em delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC), em esquema fatorial 5x2 (nível de energia x número de debicagem) com oito repetições e oito aves por unidade experimental. Os níveis de energia estudados foram os seguintes: 2600; 2700; 2800; 2900; 3000 Kcal EM/ kg de ração. Com relação à debicagem, foi avaliado o efeito da realização da segunda debicagem, realizada aos 70 dias de idade, ou não e suas interações com os níveis nutricionais propostos. O período experimental foi conduzido da 20ª a 48ª semana de idade das poedeiras, totalizando 7 ciclos de 28 dias cada. Os dados de desempenho produtivo (produção de ovos, consumo de ração, massa de ovos, conversão alimentar por dúzia e conversão alimentar por massa de ovos), qualidade de ovos (peso, altura do albúmen, coloração de gema, unidade Haugh, resistência e espessura da casca), foram avaliados ao final de cada ciclo de 28 dias. Observou-se interações entre os níveis de energia e debicagem para as seguintes características: produção de ovos, altura de albúmen, unidade Haugh e espessura da casca. O aumento dos níveis de energia promoveram efeito significativo sobre o consumo de ração, conversão por dúzia e por massa de ovos, coloração de gema, resistência e espessura da casca. A debicagem afetou significativamente o consumo, conversão por dúzia e massa de ovos, peso dos ovos, coloração de gema e espessura de casca. A frequência de canibalismo não foi influenciada pelos níveis de energia e debicagem. Com relação à análise econômica tanto os níveis de energia com a debicagem tiveram efeito significativo sobre o custo total de produção, margem bruta e entre custo total sobre a receita total. Os resultados deste estudo demonstraram que o nível de energia mais baixo pode ser utilizado e constatou-se que há necessidade de realização da segunda debicagem do ponto de vista econômico. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the best energy level for layer hens submitted or not to the second beak trimming, on performance, egg quality and economic viability aspects. Therefore, 640 layers were distributed in a completely randomized design, in a factorial 5x2 (energy level x number of beak trimming) with eight replicates and eight birds per experimental unit. Energy levels studied were: 2600; 2700; 2800; 2900; 3000 Kcal EM / kg feed. Regarding the beak trimming, it was evaluated the effect of the second beak trimming performed at 70 days age, or not, and their interactions with the proposed nutrient levels. The trial was conducted from the 20th to 48th week of birds age, totaling 7 cycles of 28 days each. The data of productive performance (egg production, feed intake, egg mass, feed conversion per dozen and feed conversion by egg mass), egg quality (weight, albumen height, yolk color, Haugh unit, strength and shell thickness were evaluated at the end of each 28-day cycle. It was observed interactions between the energy levels and beak trimming to egg production, albumen height, Haugh unit, and shell thickness. Beak trimming significantly affected consumption, conversion per dozen and egg mass, egg weight, yolk color and shell thickness. The frequency of cannibalism was not influenced by energy levels or beak trimming. Regarding the economic analysis both energy levels and beak trimming had a significant effect on the total cost of production, gross margin and between total cost of the total revenue. Results showed that the lowest energy level can be used and it was found that there is need to carry out the second beak trimming by the economic point of view

La variabilité au sein des populations naturelles est un facteur primordial de maintien de la diversité fonctionnelle dans les communautés et les écosystèmes. Présente dans une aire géographique restreinte, la truite marbrée (Salmo marmoratus) est une espèce aujourd'hui menacée par les effets du changement climatique (augmentation de la fréquence et de l'intensité des crues) et par les invasions biologiques. Seules quelques populations persistent dans le bassin adriatique. Les objectifs de cette thèse sont de quantifier la variabilité trophique de cette espèce dans des populations naturelles de l'échelle populationnelle à l'échelle individuelle et d'en identifier les mécanismes. Le régime alimentaire de 1523 individus issus des sept populations du bassin de la Soca (Slovénie) échantillonnées entre 2011 et 2013 a été analysé à l'aide des isotopes stables (d15N et d13C). Les résultats mettent en évidence une forte variabilité trophique entre les individus et au sein des individus au cours de leur ontogénie. Cette variabilité trophique également observée à l'échelle populationnelle, dépend d'une part de la structure en taille des populations et d'autre part des effets des variables environnementales à la fois sur la physiologie des organismes et sur la disponibilité des ressources alimentaires. Les résultats indiquent un fort taux de cannibalisme chez cette espèce (de 6 à 32 % à l'échelle de la population) survenant par opportunisme et favorisé par la densité des proies. Le cannibalisme est un comportement permanent qui va affecter la dynamique des populations. L'étude des interactions trophiques entre la truite marbrée et une truite exotique (la truite arc-en-ciel, Oncorhynchus mykiss) montre que la compétition entre ces deux Salmonidés engendre un déplacement de niches trophiques de l'espèce native. Cependant, nos résultats suggèrent que le comportement piscivore de la truite marbrée, rarement observé chez des Salmonidés de rivière, confère à l'espèce une résistance biologique face aux invasions biologiques. L'ensemble des résultats démontre la forte plasticité trophique, à la fois individuelle et populationnelle, de ce prédateur aquatique, qui pourrait constituer un avantage adaptatif dans un contexte de changement climatique. / Variability within natural populations plays a major role in maintaining functional diversity in communities and ecosystems. The marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) is a species of great conservation concern given its restricted geographical area. Few populations persist in the Adriatic basin, threatened by the impacts of global change (increase of the frequency and intensity of flood events) and by biological invasions. In this thesis, we aimed to quantify trophic variability of this species both at the population and individual levels and to understand the underlying mechanisms. The diet of 1523 marble trout from the seven remnant populations persisting in the Soca River basin (Slovenia) were sampled between 2011 and 2013 and were analyzed with stable isotopes (d15N and d13C). Our results show strong variability through ontogeny within as well as between individuals. This intraspecific variation was observed at the population level and was determined by both environmental variables and size-structured demography effects on fish physiology and ecological opportunities. Results indicate a high rate of opportunistic cannibalism (from 6 to 32 % in populations) promoted by prey densities. This permanent behavior may lead to modification of the populations' size structures and dynamics. Studying trophic interactions between the marble trout and an invasive salmonid species (rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss), we showed that trophic niches of the native trout shifted because of interspecific competition. However, our results suggest that the piscivorous behavior of the marble trout, rare for stream-dwelling salmonids, would be a strong advantage for biotic resistance against biological invaders. This thesis demonstrates the high trophic plasticity, both at the individual and population levels, in this freshwater predator that could be an adaptative advantage in a global change context.

The seventh PopPorn Festival (2017), themed Our Body, Our Rules, revolved around sexual agency and exploration, principles that each film, workshop, and debate addressed in its own way. Inscribed in a transnational feminist and queer-porn film culture, the PopPorn Festival decimated heteropatriarchal norms while creating a space to learn, inspire, and create a variety of sexual perspectives. Epitomizing the concept of cultural cannibalism, these sexual ideas and practices traveled from their country of production to the Brazilian film festival, which absorbed them, thus enriching its own culture. Each film analyzed in this dissertation is itself anthropornophagous, the neologism I devised to express the metaphorical devouring a patriarchal enemy through pornography. These films offer unique avenues of reflection on the place of sexual pleasure and its explicit representation in Western culture, on pornography as a vessel to oppose the heteropatriarchal system, and on the extent to which feminist and queer pornographies can constitute a source of inspiration for shame-free sexual expression. The four films analyzed in this dissertation resist patriarchal oppression on different grounds and react to a state of affairs that is dissatisfying. Not only do they question norms, they also create new ways to be sexually inspired.

Mes travaux de recherche révèlent une nouvelle voie de signalisation qui est impliquée dans l'étape d'internalisation cellulaire. Cette voie de signalisation cellulaire nécessite une libération d'ATP ainsi que l'activation de récepteur purinergique au niveau des cellules cannibales et va aboutir à l'élimination de la cellule internalisée. Nous avons également défini au cours de ces travaux le devenir de la cellule cannibale et préciser au cours d'expérimentations in vivo l'activité oncosuppressive du cannibalisme cellulaire. Nous avons également observé ce processus au niveau de biopsies tumorales obtenues à partir de patients ayant un cancer du sein et ayant reçu un traitement néo-adjuvant et avons révélé que sa détection pouvait prédire l’efficacité d'un traitement néo-adjuvant. L’ensemble de ces résultats révèle les bases moléculaires du cannibalisme cellulaire et précise le rôle du cannibalisme cellulaire lors du développement tumoral. / My research reveals a new signaling pathway which is involved in the cellular internalization. This signaling pathway requires ATP release and purinergic receptor activation at the level of cannibal cells and will lead to the elimination of internalized cell. We also defined during this work the future of the cannibal cell and specify during experiments in vivo the tumor suppressor activity of cellular cannibalism. We also observed this process in tumor biopsies obtained from patients with breast cancer who received neoadjuvant treatment and have revealed that its detection could predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment. Theses results reveal molecular bases of cellular cannibalism and indicate the role of cellular cannibalism during tumor development.

This essay argues that cannibalism is not inherently immoral. To demonstrate this, I have analyzed the ethics of cannibalism through the perspective of consent, rights, autonomy, and consumption of flesh. I have defined the concepts of cannibalism and morality. The case of the German Cannibal Armin Meiwes is used throughout the essay as it gives factual examples of a case where cannibalism is in accordance to consent. I have analyzed cannibalism as a taboo, in the ways this taboo has formed and how we differentiate cannibalism in humans and nonhumans. Following this I have demonstrated how the relations surrounding human rights, the law's interpretation of consent and autonomy can alter its morality. With discussing consumption of flesh, whether it be from an animal or a human being, followed by how our view on treating nonanimals as a means to an end, I illustrate a comparison to cannibalism in human beings. By exploring the relationship of cannibalism with morality through these theories I conclude that cannibalism in fact cannot be inherently immoral.

Att ha en framgångsrik produkt som fortsätter att växa på dagens marknad är komplext. På grund av det stora antalet marknadsföringsstrategier som är tillgängliga för företag som verkar på en global marknad. Syftet med denna forskningsstudie är finna hur digitala produkter marknadsförs i olika faser av produktlivscykeln med fokus på datorspelsindustrin. Därför kommer denna studie att undersöka om strategierna är tillämpliga i en mer global och digital miljö. Studien kommer således att försöka fylla det litterära gap som finns inom detta område. Empiriska data i denna studie samlas in genom intervjuer med personer som har erfarenhet eller arbetar inom dataspelsindustrin. Detta inkluderar affärscoacher och marknadsföringschefer som verkar inom dataspelsindustrin. Resultaten indikerar att varumärket är en av de viktigaste faktorerna för framgång på denna marknad. Men samspelet mellan de olika strategierna var märkbar och kunde inte bortses från. Intervjuerna har givit nya insikter om hur ett spel kan prissättas. Därför skulle en riktning för ytterligare forskning vara intressant att fokusera på prissättningen av digitala produkter. / To have a successful product that continues to grow in today's market is complex due to the amount of marketing strategies that are available to the operating firm, especially when they operate on a global market. The purpose of this research study is to find out how digital products are marketed in different stages of the product lifecycle with the focus on the videogame industry. Therefore, will this study examine if the strategies are applicable in a more global and digital environment. Thus, will this study attempt to fill the literature gap that exists in this field. The empirical data in this study are gathered through interviews with people who have experience or worked in the videogame industry. This includes business coaches and marketing managers who operate in the videogame industry. The findings indicate that brand is one of the most important factors for success in this market. But the interplay between the different strategies were noticeable and could not be overlooked. The interviews have given a new insight on how a game could be priced. Therefore, would a direction for further research be interesting to focus on the pricing of digital products.

This thesis supports the Master of Fine Arts exhibition at the Tipton Gallery, East Tennessee State University, from March 23rd through April 3rd, 2009. To comment on the title of my thesis, it describes an invented process created to re-contextualize failed paintings into works that critically comment on the discipline of painting itself. The paper describes and analyzes the conceptual moves created by a refusal to be satisfied with predictable outcomes in my work. At the end of this tumultuous quest to explore what painting is to me, the most rewarding works were a product of a reconfigured failure. This paper also briefly discusses a period in the history of painting that is particularly relevant to my work, influential artists that I have continually returned in admiration, and collage techniques and materials used to create my work. An explanation of my current body of work is given at the end.
