14. Epidemiology of Chagas disease in non endemic countries: the role of international migration
Human infection with the protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi extends through North, Central, and South America, affecting 21 countries. Most human infections in the Western Hemisphere occur through contact with infected bloodsucking insects of the triatomine species. As T. cruzi can be detected in the blood of untreated infected individuals, decades after infection t

15. Gauging differential health among the sexes at Windover (8Br246) using the Western Hemisphere Health Index
Assessment of intrapopulation human health provides information concerning social structure, division of labor, and lifestyle. Differential health among the sexes can provide clues to social roles, resource acquisition and status within prehistoric populations. Windover (8Br246) is an Archaic mortuary pond located in eastern central Florida. Its occupation s

16. A "cooperação necessária" como idéia-força na política exterior do Brasil (1958-2005)
This study analyses the central argument of Operation Pan-America, initiative by Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek in May, 1958, in which he urged for economic aid from the United States to the countries of Latin America, and how it was used later in Brazilian diplomatic discourse. According to Kubitschek, cooperation on the part of the leader of the

17. Dinâmicas de (in)segurança regional nos países em desenvolvimento : uma perspectiva brasileira para a América do Sul
A História da Política Exterior do Brasil (PEB) é amplamente reconhecida por suas tradições e princípios. Ao longo do tempo, a atuação internacional brasileira ocupou-se de aplicar tais tradições e princípios de forma coerente, especialmente em áreas geográficas e temas prioritários. Neste sentido, o hemisfério ocidental e a América do Sul re

18. AVALIAÇÃO IMUNOLÓGICA DOS INDIVÍDUOS EXPOSTOS À RADIAÇÃO IONIZANTE DO 137Cs, NO ACIDENTE RADIOATIVO DE GOIÂNIA (BRASIL).
On September 13, 1987, it happened in Goiânia the largest radioactive accident of the western hemisphere. A capsule containing Cesium 137 (137Cs), originating from an unit of radiotherapy, was violated contaminating more than 200 people and taking 4 individuals to death. From the beginning of the accident, the health of the involved individuals started to b

19. Brazil and the Free Trade Area of the Americas: spatial and sectoral dimensions / Dimensão regional e setorial da integração brasileira na Área de Livre Comércio das Américas.
The process of trade liberalization in Brazil has been extended in recent years to broader regional trade agreements, motivated by both economic and political objectives. The country has been pursuing different strategies of regional integration in an attempt to strengthen strategic impulses for economic development. One of the alternatives for the developme

20. Loyolanthidium gen. n. e três espécies novas neotropicais (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae)
Loyolanthidium gen. n. (type species: Anthidium apicale Cresson, 1878) is proposed to accommodate the western hemisphere species hitherto placed by the authors in Anthidiellum Cockerell, 1904. Three new species are described: Loyolanthidium bolivianum sp. n. (from Bolívia), Loyolanthidium azteca sp. n. and Loyolanthidium xilitlense sp. n. (both from México

21. Composição e tamanho de faunas associadas a capitulos de compostas
Composition and species richness of phytophagous insects associated with flowerheads of Compositae were investigated in samples of 70 plant species, most of them in the Astereae, Eupatorieae, Heliantheae, Senecioneae and Vernonieae. Sampled plants ranged from highly endemic species to widespread ones To investigate the effect of macrohabitat on the associate

22. Ventilatory function test values of health adult Jordanians.
A sample of 144 male, and 117 female healthy adults was selected to determine the normal ventilatory functions for Jordanians. Forced vital capacity, FEV1, and FMF 25-75% were determined using a dry bellows spirometer. Linear regression curves and nomograms were constructed for predicted values. Jordanian values for FVC and FEV1 were similar to those of Cauc

23. Hierarchical analysis of linkage disequilibrium in Rhizobium populations: evidence for sex?
Many bacterial species exhibit strong linkage disequilibrium of their chromosomal genes, which apparently indicates restricted recombination between alleles at different loci. The extent to which restricted recombination reflects limited migration between geographically isolated populations versus infrequent mixis of genotypes within populations is more diff

24. Pulmonary function in normal Jordanian children
A sample of 204 male and 224 female healthy Jordanian children was selected to determine the normal ventilatory functions of this Arab population. Forced vital capacity (FVC), one-second forced expiratory volume (FEV1), and forced mid-expiratory flow rate (FMFR 25-75%) were determined with a dry bellows spirometer. Multiple linear regression formulae and cor
