ABSTRACT In January 1978, the tanker Brazilian Marina, while under tow, struck rock in São Sebastiao Channel, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and spilled approximately 10,000 tons (3,000,000 gallons) of 31.4 API gravity Kuwait crude. Prevailing winds and currents carried the oil in a northeasterly direction, causing pollution of the coastal embayments and beach areas in the States of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The most severely impacted areas were those in Ubatuba, Sao Paulo, and the coastline along the southwestern shore of the State of Rio de Janeiro. In an attempt to protect recreational and other public use areas, particularly the popular beaches of Ubatuba, undiluted dispersants were applied to remove oil accumulations from the shoreline. This response action, while it cosmetically removed oil from the surface of the beaches, caused the oil to penetrate more deeply into the underlying sand, thus compounding the pollution and aesthetic problems attributable to the spill incident. Chemical analysis of detergent-treated and oil-contaminated sand samples from Ubatuba beaches, as well as samples from a beach area in the State of Rio de Janeiro, located approximately 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the spill site, found similarities between the environmental samples and the suspected source, the Brazilian Marina. Preliminary follow-up studies, conducted seven months after the incident, verified the persistence of the detergent-treated oil in the beach sand.

Index Of Abundance

This paper includes an analysis of the length distribution of Sardine landed from the Lagoon of Cananéia in the south of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, in which it is shown that young Sardines appear in the catches during October, grow quickly until about January, and then more slowly until they reach the length of 14 cm in April. They then disappear from the Lagoon. A correlation is made between the landings of larger Sardine in Rio de Janeiro and the small Sardine landed in Cananéia the previous year. It is suggested that the abundance of Sardine landed in Cananéia may be used as an index of abundance in the following year at Rio de Janeiro.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the first most common malignancy in the female population worldwide. Monitoring the survival of women with breast cancer has been a strategy often adopted at the international level as a measure to assess public policy progress for disease control. Objectives: To estimate the probability of five-year survival and to investigate the prognostic factors of women with breast cancer included in the São Paulo State Cancer Hospital Records Base (RHC-SP), established in 2000 and maintained by the Oncocentro Foundation of São Paulo (Fundação Oncocentro de São Paulo – FOSP). Material and methods: This is a historical cohort. The sample consisted of women with breast cancer diagnosed between 2002 and 2012 and included in the RHC-FOSP. The event studied was specific mortality from breast cancer. Live cases at the end of follow-up (December 31st, 2017), loss of follow-up and those who died from causes other than breast cancer were considered censures on the date of the last contact or date of death. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meyer method and the survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. Hazard ratios (HR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were also estimated using the Cox's proportional hazards model. This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the School of Medicine of Botucatu, UNESP. Results: In the period between 2002‒2012, 53,146 cases of invasive breast cancer were registered at RHC-FOSP. The median age of women at diagnosis was 55.9 years. By the end of the follow-up (December 31st, 2017), 20,683 patients died and 71.4% were due to breast cancer. The probability of specific survival for the entire cohort at 5 and 10 years was 76.1% (95%CI 75.7‒76.5%) and 64.8% (95%CI 64.2‒65.3%), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the factors associated with the prognosis were: age at diagnosis, year of diagnosis, educational level, grouped clinical stage and histological type. Conclusion: Specific survival for breast cancer in the state of São Paulo is significantly associated with several characteristics. The knowledge of these characteristics can contribute to the development of public policies in the area.

Here we provide the first record of Ceriomydas crassipes (Westwood, 1841) from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Previously, this species was recorded only in the southeastern Brazilian states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. Therefore, this record extends the  range of C. crassipes further south to include the southernmost state of Brazil.

Although there are six species of Catenicellidae recorded in Brazil, the three Catenicella species described here are the first mention of the genus in the state of Rio de Janeiro, enlarging their distribution along the Brazilian coast. Previously, C. contei was recorded in Pernambuco and São Paulo, while C. elegans was recorded in the states of Alagoas and São Paulo. The recent identification of these species in the state of Rio de Janeiro suggests two possibilities: it is difficult to find them due to small size and cryptic habitat, and/or they represent introduced species.

Catunda began her piano studies at the age of five with Mima Osward and later studied piano with Branca Bilhar and composition with Oscar Guanabarino. At the age of twelve she gave her debut recital at the Salão Nobre of the Instituto Nacional de Música in her home town, and five years later entered the concert scene performing Moskowsky’s Concerto in E Major, Op. 59 with the Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, to critical acclaim. In 1934 she married Omar Catunda and the couple moved to São Paulo, beginning a new and important chapter in Mrs. Catunda’s artistic career.
