Editor de Ciência of the Leaf of S.Paulo

How much valley one bioma? The question can seem maluca, but, if bioma in question will be the Pantanal, it already can be answered: US$ 112 billion per year, at least. Some orders of magnitude more than the US$ maximum 414 annual million that the devastação of the place generates.

The calculation was made by a researcher of the Embrapa Pantanal, in Corumbá, and puts for the first time perspective the value of the ambient services given by the biggest fluvial alagável plain of the world, compared with what it is generated by the cattle one, the most income-producing practised economic activity in the region.

According to oceanógrafo and economist gaucho Andres Steffens Moraes, “lost in the Pantanal since 1989”, one hectare preserved of bioma that it withholds the biggest concentration of fauna of Americas valley between US$ 8,100 and US$ 17,500 per year. The account is detailed in its doutorado thesis of, just-defended in the Federal University of available Pernambuco and for download (www.cpap.embrapa.br/teses).

In it, Moraes includes values potential of things as not-lumber wood, forest products and ecoturismo. But also of things that are not nor can easily be placed in the market, as the value of the polinização made for birds and insects, the control of erosion and, mainly, it offers and water regulation - products and services that they are lost when the vegetation tumbles. “I analyzed how much the society loses when it deforests yourself”, the researcher said.

Style Zé Leôncio

With lands that are flooded up to 8 months per year, improper for agriculture and abundant in grassy, the Pantanal seems to combine with the cattle, only activity - beyond the income-producing tourism there. Today it has 5,3 million heads in bioma, according to data of the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics).

The cattle one also seems to combine with the Pantanal: as capim is part of the ecosystem, she is not necessary to appeal to the deforestation to create cattle. It has in bioma an only pacific coexistence in Brazil between cattle and fauna, that finishes becoming the conservacionistas farmers of the region, in optimum style Zé Leôncio (the concientious farmer of the novel “Pantanal”, interpreted for the actor Claude Marzo).

In the jargon of the economists, these pecuaristas are considered “satisficers” (saciadores) and not “maximizers” (maximizadores). Segundo Moraes, the cattle is of certain good form for the fauna: with surplus meat, the hunting pressure diminishes.

It deforests in the mountain range

the problem is that to live as Zé Leôncio it is not for who is interested in great profits: “The cattle one is extensive, then the yield is low”, affirmed Moraes to the Leaf. To be accurate, each hectare of ox in native grass relieves US$ 12,5 to the year for the producers.

E is clearly that little people want to be Zé Leôncio nowadays. From years 1970, an increase in the demand for meat associated with flooding in the river Taquari that diminished the area of natural grass made the farmers to start to knock down the bushes in the calls mountain ranges, the forest areas that are droughts the year all.

Without the pain-of-head to need to take off the cattle all year when the grass floods --that it reduces the weight of the animals--, who creates cattle in mountain ranges gains more money: US$ 28 for hectare to the year.

This obviously had direct impact on bioma. Up to 1991, only 545 a thousand hectares of pantaneira native bush had tumbled. In 2000 already it was 1,2 million of hectares, or 30% of the area of the Pantanal.

“The pecuarista does not have productive alternative. The market pressures it to deforest and to put grass ", says Moraes. “When it makes this, the ONGs and the society criticize, but I eat pecuarista I would make the same thing.”

Astros de Hollywood recebiam fortunas para fumar em filmes

Translations available in: Portuguese (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Astros de Hollywood received richnesses to smoke in films
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
The great cigarette companies in accordance with paid to amounts millionaire to the stars of Hollywood of the first half of the last century so that they appeared smoking in the films, researchers that had had access to some of these contracts.

Clark Gable, Spencer Tracey, Joan Crawford, John Wayne and Bette Davis had been some of the mythical used cinematographic stars for the industry of the tobacco, by means of the payment of dollar millions, to give an image of “glamour” to the cigarette, had denounced the researchers.

One has equipped directed for the professor Stanton Glanzt, of the Center of Research and of Education on the Control of the Tobaccoism of the University of California (U.S.A.), it had access to contracts signed between the cigarette producers and the great stars of Hollywood since the beginning of the cinema said, in the end of the decade of 1920, until the arrival of the TV, in years 1950.

The group proved that Paramount and Warner Bros were the studios with more promocionais agreements with these companies, especially Lucky Strike (American Tobacco) and Chesterfield (Ligget & Myers).

The American Tobacco only paid, in the 1930 end, the equivalent today the US$ 3,2 million to the astros of the cinema to relate them it the cigarettes Lucky Strike.

It was as soon as the great stars of the time had helped to promote the image of the mark Lucky Strike, Old Gold, Chesterfield, or Camel, among others.

Industries friends

the researchers detach the sinergia between both the industries, since the tobacco producers gain one better “acceptance social” of the cigarette, and the studios of cinema if they use to advantage of the commercial strategies of this sector.

The presence of smokers in telona is denounced, frequently, as incentive to the young tobaccoism of e adolescent. Already the ones that if oppose to a regulation on artists who smoke in the films defend that the representation of the cigarette is part of the artistic patrimony of the American cinema and cite classics as “Casablanca” (1942).

The study, financed for the National Institute of the Cancer Grant, it appears in this thursday in the specialized magazine British “Tobacco Control”.

Puberdade precoce atinge cinco meninas para cada menino

Translations available in: Portuguese (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Precocious puberty reaches five girls for each boy
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Many parents lament that the children grow very fast, who good exactly are when they still are children and that “she seems that was yesterday” that they were babies. I exaggerate? Perhaps, but some times the children if develop very before what they would have.

The call precocious puberty characterizes when children --girls with eight years or less and boys with up to nine years-- they develop physical characteristics that normally appear only in the adolescence.

It can be caused by diverse factors --since genetic predisposition until some illness, as a tumor. Girls are the main victims of this riot --the ratio is of five of them for each affected boy.

“It is a world-wide phenomenon, the children are if developing fast more. This if must to a better feeding and the fact of that they are less sick. Problem is when this puberty happens very before normal, because, beyond harming the growth, this makes with that the child if feels different of excessively ", affirms the endocrinologista Angela Spinola-Castrate, integrant of the direction of the department of endocrinology of the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics. It esteem that the problem reaches 10% of the children of the country.

The precocious puberty is classified in two types: the true one is characterized when the gland hipófise produces responsible hormones for the stimulaton of the ovários, in the girls, and of the testicules, in the boys.

In the girls, the ovários start to produce estrógeno and progesterone, that stimulate the growth of the breasts and the ones for the pubianos and the matureness of the reproductive system --from there the menstruation. In the boys, the hormones make with that the testicule produces testosterone, that is the responsible one, among others things, for the growth of the testicules and the production of spermatozoa.

The other type is called precocious pseudopuberty. The glands supply-renais produce hormones that cause the appearance of for.

The first symptom costuma to be the growth of the breasts, in the girls, or of the testicules, in the boys. But pediatra is the indicated person to make the diagnosis.

The children who have the riot costumam to grow suddenly, but later the growth she stops --before the person reaches the normal height. Moreover, the victims of precocious puberty can feel themselves discriminated, therefore they are physically different of the colleagues. “The psychological accompaniment for parents and children Is basic”, recommends to the endocrinologista Vivian Estefan, of the Edmundo Hospital Vasconcelos.
