Epistemologias da latitude zero: jogos, brincadeiras e brinquedos de São Tomé e Príncipe

Pattern of mtDNA variation in three populations from São Tomé e Príncipe.

We have analysed the matrilineal genetic composition of three self-reported ethnic groups from São Tomé e Príncipe (Gulf of Guinea), an African archipelago whose settlement begun in the late fifteenth century. Sequence data from the hypervariable segments I (HVS-I) and II (HVS-II) were obtained for 30 Angolares, 35 Forros and 38 Tongas. The repertory of mtDNA lineages in São Tomé e Príncipe den...

Evidence for population sub-structuring in São Tomé e Príncipe as inferred from Y-chromosome STR analysis.

Seven Y-chromosome STR loci, DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392 and DYS393 have been analysed in population samples of Angolares, Forros and Tongas, three ethnic groups from the African archipelago of São Tomé e Príncipe (Gulf of Guinea). Complete typings were obtained for 103 chromosomes, which belonged to 79 different haplotypes. The mean heterozygosity per locus in the overall ...

Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage among patients and health care workers in São Tomé and Príncipe.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major human pathogen worldwide. However, data on MRSA prevalence in the African continent are scarce and nonexistent for São Tomé and Príncipe. In November 2010 and April 2012, a total of 332 individuals (258 patients and 74 health care workers [HCW]) from Hospital Dr. Ayres Menezes in São Tomé and Príncipe, were screened for S. aureus and...

Uma Arquitetura para Integração de Sistemas Hápticos e Engines de Jogos

The sense of touch and physical interaction are among the fundamental aspects that human being needs to understand the world and cause changes to it. For games, haptic systems can offer a concept of interaction in a sophisticated way, increasing the level of realism and offering greater immersion in the virtual environment. This paper presents a study, a planning and development of an architect...
