Comparison of Locomotor and Feeding Rhythms between Indoor and Outdoor Cats Living in CaptivityThe plastic nature of cat behaviour allows this “friendly symbiont” of humans to adapt to various housing conditions. Beyond daylight, one could wonder if other environmental factors affect its patterns. Yet, how its activity and feeding rhythms are impacted by its environment is rarely studied in standardised conditions between populations. We compared the behaviour of cats living in a 29 m2 indoor room and cats living in a 1145 m2 outdoor enclosure, tracking them simultaneously in summer for 21 days, with advanced technologies. Both populations received daylight but weather fluctuations only occurred outdoors. Bimodality was detected in the activity and feeding rhythms of both groups, while twilight triggered crepuscular peaks. Daily, the outdoor population covered more distance (4.29 ± 0.27 km; p < 0.001) and consumed more food (67.44 ± 2.65 g; p < 0.05) than the indoor population (2.33 ± 0.17 km, 57.75 ± 2.85 g, respectively), but displayed less rhythmic behaviours, assume...

The change of optical band gap of Nd3+ doped glasses by electron beam irradiation2019 •
Fabrication of Nd 3+ doped oxyfluorophosphate glass with new composition of 58P2O5-26MgF210MgO-3K2CO3-2Y2O3-1Nd2O3 have been presented. The samples have been irradiated with 10 MeV electron beam at different dose rates. Absorption spectra of samples before and after electron irradiation have been measured at room temperature The optical band gaps, width of tail (Urbach parameter), the extinction coefficient and the refractive index of samples have been determined. The experiments and calculations show that electron beam irradiation creates defects and color centers in glass and these change some optical parameters.

Tenho refletido muito sobre o "vácuo" ideológico e político que se tornou evidente na vida nacional brasileira. Tenho refletido muito sobre as decepções e frustrações de milhões de brasileiros. Sobre esse vazio de Sonhos e Esperanças verdadeiras. Não me refiro aqui, sobre aqueles que, por conveniência política, financeira ou religiosa, ou mesmo por uma "necessidade de acreditar" em algo ou alguma "coisa" abraçam esse "algo" ou "alguma coisa", as vezes até de forma fanática e irracional, como a "última chance", a "única saida", como a "Salvação da Pátria" para os problemas nacionais e problemas pessoais que não conseguem resolver. Escrevo sim, pensando naqueles que, como eu, sonham e lutam por um Brasil diferente do que esse que vemos hoje. Por um Brasil que precisamos salvar e resgatar, para nós e para as próximas gerações.

Abstract: Qualitative research in Italy has gone through hard times. On the one hand it has long been hampered by the hegemony of Crocean idealism. On the other hand survey researchers have also undervalued it. Despite, this from the 1980s qualitative research gained an important role in Italian sociology and at the end of the 1990s it conquered a space in Italian methodology, still ruled by the survey approach. At the beginning of the new millennium qualitative methodology has become institutionalized in teaching programs and courses of methodology. The article reconstructs, step by step, a history of qualitative research and methodology in Italy.
