Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Adaptação da Escala de Ansiedade de Beck para avaliação de surdos e cegos(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09-05) SANCHEZ, Cintia Nazare Madeira; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274This study met three articles concerning the adaptation of psychological instruments to evaluate the population of deaf and blind. Considering that these instruments are not adapted to evaluate people with special educational needs, complicating diagnosis and prognosis. Therefore the need to adapt these instruments for this population is indisputable. This situation also occurs in the area of deafness and blindness, in which there is a shortage of jobs in Brazil. In the first article was conducted a literature review of instruments adapted for this population. It is concluded that the area of hearing assessment scales are adapted to various factors as psychometric for measuring depression, anxiety and intelligence, but the area of blindness instruments are suited for the assessment of cognitive functioning. The aim of the second study was to adapt the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI) to sign language and alphabet digital generating a scale to assess anxiety in deaf users of Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). The sample consisted of 25 deaf users LIBRAS (experimental group) and 25 listeners (control group), aged between 18 and 25 years of age of both sexes, matched for age and sex. The application was made in a group. Following the guidelines, the subjects completed the scale, the scale pattern control group and the experimental group the adapted scale. The results of the study showed that the BAI adapted not statistically significant compared to the standard scale and total anxiety subscales: subjective, neurophysiological, autonomic, and panic. Therefore BAI adapted showed validity equivalent to BAI standard to assess anxiety in deaf, the items appear to have adapted the modified factor structure of the instrument, thus allowing its use in the assessment of anxiety in deaf users of LIBRAS. The third study was conducted with visually impaired, this deficiency is most prevalent in the population reaching 35.8 million people with difficulty seeing even with corrective lenses, and 506,3 thousand are blind. Despite the significant number of blind in the literature there are few studies of adapting assessment tools for the blind, as they are evaluated on the parameters of the seers. Given this reality, the objective of this study was to adapt the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI) for Braille generating a scale to assess anxiety in blind Braille users. The sample consisted of 25 blind Braille users (experimental group) and 25 seers (control group), aged between 18 and 25 years of age of both sexes, matched for age and sex. The application was made in a group. Following the guidelines, the subjects completed the scale, the scale pattern control group and the experimental group the adapted scale. The results of the study showed that the BAI adapted not statistically significant compared to the standard scale and total anxiety subscales: subjective, neurophysiological, autonomic. Subscale panic in this difference was statistically significant at the limit. Therefore BAI adapted showed equivalent BAI validity standard for evaluating anxiety blind, adapted items seem to have modified the factor structures of the instrument, allowing their use in the evaluation of anxiety in users blind Braille.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Comportamento, ritmo de atividade e arquitetura das galerias de Uca maracoani (Latreille, 1802) e Minuca rapax (Smith, 1870)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-11-22) BELÚCIO, Lucinice Ferreira; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274This study aimed to elaborate the behavioral budget and to obtain the level of annual activity on the surface as well as the shape of the galleries of Uca maracoani and Minuca rapax, which coexist in the intertidal region of the Curuperé mangrove, Curuçá, Pará, During four sequential lunar periods, from October to December of 2013, the behavior of the species was shot to obtain the budget. The annual activity of the species was evaluated by shooting the number of active animals and galleries at four sites along the river. To evaluate the shape and distribution of the galleries paraffin casts were obtained in two stations with mud sediment and sand-muddy. In the ethogram of the species, ninety-five behaviors were recorded, grouped into the categories: Feeding, Reproductive, Walking and Running, Acoustics and Sysmics, Territorial, Agonistic, Maintenance and Grooming. The following categories were important to differentiate the energy budget of the species: Feeding, Territorial, Acoustics, Reproductive. Considering the difference of niches of males and females of the same species, the following behaviors are noteworthy: Feeding, Walking and Running, Territorial, Maintenance, Acoustics and Sysmics, Reproductive, Grooming. A great amount of rainfall (February) and low humidity (October) decreased animals activity at the surface, while the climate in June allowed a higher activity of these animals at the surface. Despite some similarities in the architecture of the galleries of the two species, the differences in volume and depth suggest that they present individual scales that are very different from influences in the bioturbation process. However, this process can be counterbalanced by the population density of each species and its activity rate.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Desamparo aprendido com o zebrafish (Danio rerio)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-05-23) NASCIMENTO, Gabriela Souza do; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274Exposure to uncontrollable aversive events leads to difficulty in learning contingency relations, escape and/or avoidance. Such phenomenon was named learned helplessness and it has been correlated to depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. This thesis is composed by three studies that together have the aim of: producing learned helplessness in Danio rerio (Study I); investigating the effects of light on the escape test (Study II) and evaluating the effects imipramine have on learned helplessness when applied acutely in Danio rerio (Study III). In every experiment it was used an acrylic shutllebox (INSIGHT equipment) which contained a central area (removable) that enabled the isolation of the subjects. The general protocol consisted in two phases: 1) Treatment, each subject of the Uncontrollable shock (USH) treatment was subjected to 60 random and uncontrollable shocks (0.7 – 0.9V, lasting 30 seconds each), in this phase the subjects of the group that didn't receive treatment with electric shock (NSH) only remained in the central area for 60 minutes; and 2) Test, each subject from both groups was subjected to an escape session with 30 shocks (0.7 – 0.9V, maximum duration of 30 seconds each). In Study I, 3 groups were used, one experimental (EGUSH) and two controls, one remaining in the experimental aquarium for 60 minutes without shock (CG-NSH). In Study II, 4 groups were used, a pair from NSH and USH subjected to the light test, another pair (NSH and USH) underwent the test no light condition. In Study III 6 groups were used according to the concentration of imipramine administered during 10 minutes before the test session: 0.0 mg/l NCH; 0.0 mg/CHI; 1.0 mg/l NCH; 1.0 mg/l CHI; 2.0 mg/l NCH; e 2.0 mg/l CHI. The main results show that it is possible to create learned helplessness in Danio rerio (study I), considering light as a variable that can interfere directly in the acquisition of the phenomenon (study II), in addition, it was showed that acute imipramine in the doses administered here did not revert the learned helplessness in Danio rerio.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Desempenho do Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) em modelos de ansiedade: campo aberto, preferência claro-escuro e labirinto em cruz com rampa(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-09-23) MONTEIRO, André Luiz Viard Walsh; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274The use of animal models in experimental research in the last decades has shown to be more diversified than the classical model through the use of rodent or primate. This is mainly by advances in molecular, morphological and functional studies that revealed a big homology between the vertebrates. On this perspective, the Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has shown to be the non-mammal animal with biggest ascension as a study model in biological sciences in the latest decades. However, other species of fish also show to be promising as alternatives of use as animal model. This study used Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) as model for the research in behavior through different experimental approaches. In study I, guppies were exposed and re-exposed in different shifts (morning, afternoon, evening and night) in the open field test and light-dark preference. The found results show that in both tests, male and female present behavioral differences, being sensitive to re-exposure, with capacity of learning e controlling of the circadian cycle. In study II, was developed a plus-maze with ramp where it was verified the sensibility of the specie to the apparatus, the profile of response upon re-exposure and the drug effect. The results revealed sensibility to the apparatus with a height of water column at 8 cm and 5 minutes of session and differences between sex and learning by habituation along the re-expositions. The pharmacological study indicates that in this apparatus, the specie is sensitive to anxiolytic and anxiogenic drugs. Finally, we can conclude that Guppy presents similar behavior and drug responses compatible with the data described to the Zebrafish. These similarities reinforce the use of fishes as an alternative to the use of mammals in animal experimentation.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Dissociação entre observação e interação na modificação do display agressivo do Betta splendens(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) CUNHA NETO, João Soares da; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274The observation of fight (i.e., the presence of an anonymous observer of a fight) is something that changes the parameters of the fighting display of Betta splendens. The aim of this study was to identify whether and how observation alone or associated with the interaction modifies the emission of the display. Male Betta splendens were used (N = 28) in a battery of experiments to identify whether the aggressive display is modified either by the observation of a conspecific in a situation of confrontation (Experiment I) or by the observation of a conspecific in a situation of confrontation and subsequent exposure to this very conspecific (Experiment II). There was no statistical difference in the data obtained from the Experiment I, however, with respect to the data obtained in the Experiment II we could identify a statistically significant difference (F (1.6) = 6.002, p = 0.05) reflected in an increased latency of the Horizontal Display. We concluded that in Experiment I the behaviors were stable, and that the observation associated with interaction (Experiment II) is able to modify the emission of the aggressive display of Betta splendens.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeitos da dominância sobre as dimensões de personalidade em Danio rerio(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-05-13) PINHEIRO, Marcelo de Sena; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274The zebrafish is widely used in various areas of research as experimental model, dominance and submission phenomenon are present in this species, and relate directly with the aggressive behavior, these can be linked to personality dimensions that can be used to predict and explain the conduct of an individual, creating different profiles of behaviors on certain aspects, these behavioral changes may reflect several factors, among them bodily differences, the availability of food, the pressure of predators, the intraspecific competition, among others. To try to answer whether dominant subjects respond differently in situations involving appetitive and aversive stimuli, was performed a battery of tests involving both previously tested to determine its state of dominance, then were subjected to the following tests as scooling, predator inspection and open field. These results showed that the dominance profile in zebrafish, appears to be related to differences in the behavioral patterns when associated with possible parameter approximation of aversive stimuli (predator) and not aversive stimuli (shoals), which may be related to two large personality, extroversion and neuroticism.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Preferência Claro/Escuro em Danio rerio: Efeitos da Melatonina Sobre o Horário da Coleta e de Regime de Luz(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-12-12) DIAS, Cláudio Alberto Gellis De Mattos; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274Danio rerio is a widely used animal model for behavioral experiments in white / black tanks. The white side of the aquarium seems to cause aversion and the preference seems to be to stay longer on the dark side. Melatonin is a indoleamine which influence the physiological functioning of fish. The aims of this work are: to survey the literature on melatonin and its correlation with fishes and Danio rerio; compare the efficiency of two apparatuses insulation in behavioral tests; testing the influence of four periods of the day and five photoperiods response variation in Zebrafish to light-dark test; compare the time spent on each side of the aquarium test period, subjects isolated on a photoperiod of 12/12 hours with exposure to seven different concentrations of melatonin; statistically comparing the sample into quartiles within each concentration; and statistically compare the sample into quartiles among the first, second and third quartiles of each concentration. The Zebrafish and the fishes seem to have their physiology and behavior influenced by melatonin (both endogenous as exogenous). Both apparatuses isolation proved to be equally effective for behavioral tests. Luminosity seems to drag the Zebrafish circadian cycle, reducing their aversion to the white side of the aquarium, photoperiod 12/12 hour period and night collection. Melatonin seems to influence the change caused by photoperiod, decreasing or canceling the dragging. In our sample seems to be subpopulations that respond differently to exposure to the same concentration of melatonin. Studies with specific strains of Zebrafish and with a wider range of concentrations of melatonin appear to be necessary to identify the specific dosage possible to counteract the performance in light entrainment of the circadian cycle in Danio rerio.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Validação farmacológica da esquiva Inibitória do Danio Rerio(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-06-12) SANTOS, Bruno Rodrigues; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274The Danio rerio is a fish species widely used in emerging models of anxiety due to well described behavior, anatomy, neuroanatomy and biochemistry. The inhibitory avoidance test is an anxiety-related parameters in the model development that described a suppressed behavior emitted to avoid an aversive stimulus. This experiment aimed to describe the inhibitory avoidance averssiveness of white side and the pharmacological validation of this test by using the following drugs: antidepressants - fluoxetine (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) and imipramine (4, 8 and 16 mg/kg), anxiolytics - diazepam (0.06, 1.25 and 2 , 5 mg/kg) and clonazepam (0.02, 0.05 and 1.10 mg/kg), and stimulants - diethylpropion (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) and caffeine (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg). The data confirm the aversiveness of the white side in inhibitory avoidance test. Flouxetine, imipramine, caffeine and dietilpropione have anxiogenic-like effect and imapaired inhibitory avoidance, excluding imipramine 8 mg/kg who facilitates its acquisition. Diazepam also facilitates inhibitory avoidance acquisition and clonazepam show anxiolytic-like effect on this test. These data show the effectiveness of inhibitory avoidance test as a model to study axiety.
