O caso analisado neste artigo revela um projeto de ação no qual poder estatal e poder doméstico parecem se reforçar mutuamente. Abordo aqui um dos aspectos da política de Povoamento do Solo Nacional, mais especificamente as práticas dirigidas à constituição de cadeias de autoridade através da apropriação das estruturas de auto-organização dos imigrantes e colonos, isto é, suas estruturas familiares. Estas práticas punham as famílias de imigrantes e colonos no centro do empreendimento de atração de imigrantes e montagem de colônias. A análise tem como referência o argumento de que as políticas de imigração e colonização jogaram um papel no interior de processos mais amplos de formação de Estados Nacionais. Papel que envolve, entre outros aspectos, o uso de técnicas de poder que, ao conformarem um campo de ações dos agentes que eram objeto destas políticas, contribuíram à construção da autoridade pública do governo federal. Assim, tento mostrar como a família é tomada como objeto e instrumento da ação estatal, na busca pela construção de autoridade pública. Entangling families: State and Family in the Population of National Land Abstract The particular case analyzed in this article reveals a project of action in which state and domestic powers seem to mutually reinforce each other. It is considered here one aspect of the “Populating National Land” policy, more specifically the practices aiming to the constitution of authority chains through the appropriation of auto-organizing structures of immigrants and colonizers, namely, family structures. These practices placed immigrant and colonizers´ families at the center of the enterprise of immigrant attraction and the building up of colonies. This analysis has as its reference the contention that immigration and e colonization policies have played a role at the interior of more ample processes of National State formation. This role involves, among other aspects, the use of power techniques that, by making up a field of actions of those who were the object of these policies, have contributed to the construction of the public authority of the federal government. It is therefore shown how the family is taken both as an object and an instrument of state action, in the search for the construction of public authority.

Land policy must be carried out by an apparatus that has not grasped the tasks and ideas of Soviet construction in the countryside and that is riddled with elements that are alien and even hostile to Soviet power.—N. M. Shvernik, section chief, People’s Commissariat of Workers' and Peasants' Inspectorate, 1924“Anyone who reads the letters that passed between the Intendants and their superiors or subordinates,” wrote Alexis de Tocqueville, “cannot fail to be struck by the family likeness between the government officials of the past and those of modern France.” He added that not only the personnel and institutions but even the internal bureaucratic terminology of the old regime was similar to that of postrevolutionary, republican France. Despite their obsession with the French Revolution, Russia’s revolutionary rulers had probably not read Tocqueville’s cautionary tale about the persistence of the old-regime state. If they had, they might have learned quite a bit.

Hells Canyon

Two Upper Triassic sphinctozoan sponges of the family Sebargasiidae were recovered from silicified residues collected in Hells Canyon, Oregon. These sponges areAmblysiphonellacf.A. steinmanni(Haas), known from the Tethys region, andColospongia whalenin. sp., an endemic species. The latter sponge was placed in the superfamily Porata by Seilacher (1962). The presence of well-preserved cribrate plates in this sponge, in addition to pores of the chamber walls, is a unique condition never before reported in any porate sphinctozoans. Aporate counterparts known primarily from the Triassic Alps have similar cribrate plates but lack the pores in the chamber walls. The sponges from Hells Canyon are associated with abundant bivalves and corals of marked Tethyan affinities and come from a displaced terrane known as the Wallowa Terrane. It was a tropical island arc, suspected to have paleogeographic relationships with Wrangellia; however, these sponges have not yet been found in any other Cordilleran terrane.

Information concerning the morphology and replication of organism of the family Mycoplasmataceae remains, despite over 70 years of study, highly controversial. Due to their small size observations by light microscopy have not been rewarding. Furthermore, not only are these organisms extremely pleomorphic but their morphology also changes according to growth phase. This study deals with the morphological aspects of M. pneumoniae strain 3546 in relation to growth, interaction with HeLa cells and possible mechanisms of replication.The organisms were grown aerobically at 37°C in a soy peptone yeast dialysate medium supplemented with 12% gamma-globulin free horse serum. The medium was buffered at pH 7.3 with TES [N-tris (hyroxymethyl) methyl-2-aminoethane sulfonic acid] at 10mM concentration. The inoculum, an actively growing culture, was filtered through a 0.5 μm polycarbonate “nuclepore” filter to prevent transfer of all but the smallest aggregates. Growth was assessed at specific periods by colony counts and 800 ml samples of organisms were fixed in situ with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 3 hrs. at 4°C. Washed cells for sectioning were post-fixed in 0.8% OSO4 in veronal-acetate buffer pH 6.1 for 1 hr. at 21°C. HeLa cells were infected with a filtered inoculum of M. pneumoniae and incubated for 9 days in Leighton tubes with coverslips. The cells were then removed and processed for electron microscopy.

Physical Accessibility

Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the type species os the genus orbivirus in the family Reoviridae. The virus has a fibrillar outer coat containing two major structural proteins VP2 and VP5 which surround an icosahedral core. The core contains two major proteins VP3 and VP7 and three minor proteins VP1, VP4 and VP6. Recent evidence has indicated that the core comprises a neucleoprotein center which is surrounded by two protein layers; VP7, a major constituent of capsomeres comprises the outer and VP3 the inner layer of the core . Antibodies to VP7 are currently used in enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays and immuno-electron microscopical (JEM) tests for the detection of BTV. The tests involve the antibody recognition of VP7 on virus particles. In an attempt to understand how complete viruses can interact with antibodies to VP7 various antibody types and methodologies were utilized to determine the physical accessibility of the core to the external environment.
