Background
The Chácobo are a Panoan speaking tribe of about 1000 members (300+ adults) in Beni, Bolivia. Originally nomadic, the Chácabo were relocated to their current main location in the 1960s. Researchers have visited the Chácabo since 1911. A first more detailed anthropological report exists from the late 1960s, and ecological–ethnobotanical studies were conducted in the 1980s and 1990s. The presented work represents a complete ethnobotanical inventory of the entire adult Chácobo population, with interviews and plant collection conducted directly by Chácobo counterparts.Methods
Based on previous reports and our preliminary studies, we hypothesized that twenty-first century Chácobo plant use centered on income generation, and that traditional plant use related to household utensils, medicine and traditional crop varieties had almost disappeared. To test this hypothesis, we started the “Chácobo Ethnobotany Project,” training 10 indigenous Chácobo participants in ethnobotanical interview and plant collection techniques, in order to more fully document Chácobo knowledge and avoid the influence of foreign interviewers.Results
Our study found 331 useful plant species in 241genera of 95 plant families, with leaves, roots and bark being the most commonly used plant parts The comprehensive documentation that these methods enabled completely nullified our initial hypothesis of knowledge loss. Traditional crop varieties are still widely grown and traditional knowledge is alive. Moreover, it is being actively recuperated in certain domains by the younger generation. Most Chácobo know, and can name, traditional utensils and tools, although only the older generation has still the skills to manufacture them. While many Chácobo still know the names and uses of medicinal species, the younger generation is however often unsure how to identify them.Conclusions
In this paper we illustrate the complexity of perspectives on knowledge at different ages, and the persistence of knowledge over almost a century. We found that traditional knowledge was only partially affected by the processes of exposure to a market economy, and that different knowledge domains experienced different trends as a result of these changes. Overall knowledge was widely distributed, and we did not observe a directional knowledge loss.We stress the importance to not directly conclude processes of knowledge loss, cultural erosion or acculturation when comparing the knowledge of different age groups.22.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Data generated with the body composition monitor (BCM, Fresenius) show, based on bioimpedance technology, that chronic fluid overload in hemodialysis patients is associated with poor survival. However, removing excess fluid by lowering dry weight can be accompanied by intradialytic and postdialytic complications. Here, we aim at testing the hypothesis that, in comparison to conventional hemodialysis, blood volume-monitored regulation of ultrafiltration and dialysate conductivity (UCR) and/or regulation of ultrafiltration and temperature (UTR) will decrease complications when ultrafiltration volumes are systematically increased in fluid-overloaded hemodialysis patients. Methods/design BCM measurements yield results on fluid overload (in liters), relative to extracellular water (ECW). In this prospective, multicenter, triple-arm, parallel-group, crossover, randomized, controlled clinical trial, we use BCM measurements, routinely introduced in our three maintenance hemodialysis centers shortly prior to the start of the study, to recruit sixty hemodialysis patients with fluid overload (defined as [greater than or equal to]15% ECW). Patients are randomized 1:1:1 into UCR, UTR and conventional hemodialysis groups. BCM-determined, 'final' dry weight is set as 7% ECW postdialysis, and reached by reducing the previous dry weight, in steps of 0.1 kg per 10 kg body weight, during 12 hemodialysis sessions (one study phase). In case of intradialytic complications, dry weight reduction is decreased, according to a prespecified algorithm. A comparison of intra- and post-dialytic complications among study groups constitutes the primary endpoint. In addition, we will assess relative weight reduction, changes in residual renal function, quality of life measures, and predialysis levels of various laboratory parameters including C-reactive protein, troponin T, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, before and after the first study phase (secondary outcome parameters). DISCUSSION: Patients are not requested to revert to their initial degree of fluid overload after each study phase. Therefore, the crossover design of the present study merely serves the purpose of secondary endpoint evaluation, for example to determine patient choice of treatment modality. Previous studies on blood volume monitoring have yielded inconsistent results. Since we include only patients with BCM-determined fluid overload, we expect a benefit for all study participants, due to strict fluid management, which decreases the mortality risk of hemodialysis patients.

The effects of Cormorants and 3 species of ducks were studied on the eutrophication of Lake Balaton. The quantity of consumed food and of excrement were estimated. The Cormorants (1500 pairs and their fledglings) inhabiting the area of Kis-Balaton took up 12.5 tonnes of N and 3.1 tonnes of P in 1983. The effects of fish-eating Cormorants can be quantified better than those of ducks which also feed on plant material. 相似文献

Thalli of the intertidal Phaeophyte Fucus spiralis L. and the subtidal Chlorophyte Ulva olivascens Dangeard were exposed to artificial UV-A, UV-B and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) by combination of PAR + UV-A
+ UV-B (PAB), PAR + UV-A (PA) and PAR (P) treatments. UV-A enhanced photosynthesis and stimulated carbonic anhydrase (CA)
and nitrate reductase (NR) in F. spiralis whilst PAR only had an inhibitory effect in this species. U. olivascens suffered chronic photoinhibition in all the treatments as evidenced by reduced maxima photosynthesis (Pmax) and photosynthetic efficiency (α). Non stimulatory effect was observed upon CA and NR in this species. Our results showed that artificial UV radiation triggered
opposite responses in both species. We suggest that differences shown by both species might be related to their location in
the rocky shore and their ability to sense UV. We propose that the ratio UV:PAR acts as an environmental signal involved in
the control of photosynthesis as shown by pronounced inhibition in samples exposed to only PAR. We also suggest that UV-regulated
photosynthesis would be related to carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles, regulating feedback processes that control C and N
assimilation. 相似文献

Birds possess fast metabolism, and therefore they ingest and egest relatively large quantities of organic materials. Effects on the eutrophication depend on the site where they release their excrements. Mallards were studied as model animal to evaluate this process. Mallards of different ages have different ecological roles. In the beginning of their individual life they reduce the trophic level but later they contribute to the eutrophication processes. 相似文献

Dual UV wavelength scanning at 206 and 254 nm was used to develop a sensitive, separation and quantitation procedure for estrone, estradiol-17β, testosterone, 4-androstene-3,17,-dione, progesterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The difference in UV absorption of the estrogens from the androgens and progestogens allows for correction of the co-elution of testosterone with estradiol-17β and 4-androsten-3,17,-dione with estrone. Incorporation of an isocratic step-gradient provides improved separation while maintaining shortened elution times for the less polar steroids. 相似文献

A novel series of benzimidazole-2-carboxamide derivatives was prepared and identified as NR2B selective NMDA receptor antagonists. The influence of some structural elements, like H-bond donor groups placed on the benzimidazole skeleton and the substitution pattern of the piperidine ring, on the biological activity was studied. Compound 6a showed excellent analgetic activity in the mouse formalin test following po administration. 相似文献
