ABSTRACT The long residual period of pre-emergent herbicides can interfere with successor crops, causing a phenomenon named carryover. This study evaluated the residual effect of imazapyr + imazapic herbicides on cotton crop grown in succession to soybean. The experiment was conducted between September 2016 and March 2017, in a randomized block design with 4 replicates, where the treatments were four doses of imazapyr + imazapic, 75, 150, 225 and 300 g a.i. ha-1, and the control. The analyzed variables were chlorophyll a fluorescence, shoot height, root length and volume, dry shoot mass and root dry mass. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey’s test, at p ≤ 0.05. The reduction in photosynthetic performance indexes for treatments of 150, 225 and 300 g a.i. ha-1 at 15 days after emergence (DAE) and of 75 g a.i ha-1 at 60 DAE indicated a photoinhibitory effect of these herbicides on plants. However, shoot height, length, volume and root dry mass were not affected in the treatments tested. Therefore, the persistence of the herbicide in the soil was not enough to characterize a carryover effect in cotton 135 days after application (DAA).

ABSTRACT Uneven maturation in canola is an important challenge for its management in regions subject to frost and high rainfall at the end of the cycle. In order to identify practices to maximize grain yield under these growing conditions, this work evaluated the effects of desiccation with herbicides at different phenological stages on Hyola 433, one of the most commonly used hybrids in Brazil. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four repetitions in a 6 x 4 factorial scheme, with five herbicides: paraquat, diquat and ammonium glufosinate at dose of 400 g a.i. ha-1, glyphosate at 1,440 g a.i. ha-1 and saflufenacil at 70 g a.i. ha-1, plus the control, at four phenological stages of silique maturation (G2, G3, G4 and G5). Desiccation at G2 and G3 reduced the oil content and thousand-grain weight on average by 60%, affecting directly grain yield. Desiccation at G4, regardless of herbicide, did not influence thousand-grain weight and oil content, but the use of diquat reduced canola yield by 187 kg ha-1. In the desiccation at G5, none of the herbicides led to differences compared to the control for thousand-grain weight, yield and oil content, and it allowed harvest to be brought forward by five days. In general, the crop presents adequate responses to the desiccation with different herbicides at the phenological stages G4 and G5.

Published: July 2019

ABSTRACT Water erosion in soil is influenced by several factors, including rain, relief, cover, and management and conservation practices. Also, erosion is affected by pig slurry (PS) applied to the soil as a fertilizer. The objectives of this research were i): to evaluate water erosion in a Humic Cambisol cultivated with Zea mays L., Avena strigosa, Glycyne max L., and Raphanus sativus in rotation after PS dispersal under different tillage treatments, namely: no-tillage (NT), minimum tillage (MT), rotation tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT) , and ii): to compare erosion before and after PS application in a single dose of 50 m3 ha-1 in each crop, soon after the germination of the crops. NT had lower soil and water loss, which were reduced by 81 and 13%, respectively, in relation to CT. Differences in soil and water losses were lower between MT and RT, than between other treatments. The contents of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in the superficial layers of the soil were higher under NT than under CT. The contents of P and K in the sediments were higher in the NT than in the CT treatment. Also, the contents of P and K were significantly higher in sediments than in water, especially under NT. The application of a single PS dose on the soil surface increased soil P and K contents and decreased water erosion compared to the 19-year historical series that preceded this research in different soil management systems without PS application.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the contents of macronutrients and also chlorine and sodium in the diagnostic leaf, and the extraction and export of macronutrients in sugarcane irrigated with saline water and leaching fractions. The experiment was conducted in a complete randomized design in a 5 x 2 factorial scheme with four replications, corresponding to five levels of water salinity (0.5, 2.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 6.5 dS m-1) and two leaching fractions (L1 = 0 and L2 = 0.17). The treatments were applied 60 days after planting. At 280 days after planting, diagnostic leaves were collected and used to evaluate the nutritional status and the contents of Cl and Na. At 360 days after planting, the sugarcane was harvested and its stalks were separated into tops and leaves. Exposure to water of increasing salinity linearly reduced the N, P, K and Mg contents of the diagnostic leaves and increased their Ca, Cl and Na contents. This effect was minimized by the application of the 0.17 leaching fraction. The extraction of nutrients followed the order K > Ca > N > Mg > S > P. The salinity of the irrigation water had a negative effect on the nutritional status of the plant and on its extraction and export of nutrients; the application of the 0.17 leaching fraction improved the results, except for Ca and S.

ABSTRACT The disposal of treated effluents on soil is the main final use of wastewater in Brazil. Although this practice can promote improvements of some soil attributes, there is a need for monitoring in order to ensure that potential environmental impacts are not harmful. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of treated effluent from a poultry slaughterhouse on the chemical attributes of an Oxisols, in Matelândia-PR, Brazil under drip irrigation. The soil attributes P, K, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, pH in CaCl2, H + Al, Al, Ca, Mg, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and percent base saturation (V) were evaluated under four effluent application rates, 0, 100, 200 and 300 m³ ha-1 d-1 with treated effluents on three successive sampling dates. As main results it was observed that high irrigation rates increased soil phosphorus and potassium concentrations. In addition, an association between the increase of soil potential acidity and exchangeable acidity was detected, although pH did not vary significantly either between treatments or between sampling dates.

ABSTRACT Characterizing the elemental composition provides useful information about the weathering degree of soils. In Miandoab County, Northern Iran, this characterization was missing, and thus the objectives of this work were to evaluate the weathering degrees for the most typical soils in the area from their elemental compositions, and to estimate this elemental composition using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Random Forest models. Five soil profiles, including Aridisols and Inceptisols, were selected as the most representative of the area. Major elemental oxides were determined in each genetic horizon by X-ray fluorescence, showing that these soils were at early developmental stages. Only Al2O3 and CaO were accurately estimated, with R2 values of 0.8, and out-of-bag mean square errors of 0.2 and 1.1, respectively. The other oxides were not predicted satisfactorily, probably due to small differences in their elemental compositions. Random Forest provided the important spectral bands related to the content of each element. For Al2O3, these bands were between 500 and 650 cm-1, which represent out-of-plane OH bending vibrations and Al-O gibbsite and alumino-silicate vibrations. For CaO, the most important bands are related to carbonate content. A combination of Fourier transform infrared spectra and Random Forest models can be used as a rapid and low-cost technique to estimate the elemental composition of arid and semi-arid soils of Northern Iran.

ABSTRACT Estimation of carbon stored in forest ecosystems requires accurate biomass prediction tools. The objective of this study was to determine the individual aerial biomass of Prosopis affinis and its distribution by component, to develop allometric models for the estimation of biomass and to estimate biomass expansion factors (BEF) in native forests of Entre Ríos (Argentina). Dendrometric variables on 30 individuals of different diameter classes were measured. Values of total aerial biomass and component biomass (trunk, branches larger than 5 cm in diameter and branches smaller than 5 cm + leaves, flowers and fruits) were determined using the destructive method. Different models were developed, and the best models were selected according to the adjusted coefficient of determination (R2adj), mean squared prediction error, the Akaike information and Bayesian information criteria and the Furnival index. The variables crown area, diameter at breast height and total height were the best estimators of total aerial biomass and component biomass of P. affinis. The single-variable model based on the basal diameter has a very good predictive capacity for total aerial biomass, resulting in a simple model of great practicality. The BEF was significantly different among diameter classes, with mean values between 2.28 and 4.90. The highest values corresponded to individuals with trunk diameters larger than 25 cm. The models developed in this work present high precision (R2adj. ≥ 0.94) for the prediction of total aerial biomass of P. affinis and can be applied in the native forest area of the province of Entre Ríos (Argentina).

Published: July 2019

Resumo Este artigo descreveu o contexto histórico da formação em gestão em saúde oferecida no Brasil e buscou identificar suas semelhanças e diferenças com aquela oferecida na Espanha. Adotou-se uma abordagem qualitativa da realidade e o método comparado foi empregado. Como fonte de dados, utilizaram-se a bibliografia científica, os documentos oficiais, que orientam as intervenções no campo da formação em gestão em saúde nos dois países, e a entrevista semiestruturada. As entrevistas foram realizadas com gestores selecionados pelo fato de estarem ocupando ou de terem ocupado cargos de gestão e que tenham participado da conformação da política de saúde, totalizando quatro gestores brasileiros e seis espanhóis. Apoiados na análise de conteúdo temática, os resultados se relacionaram com a categoria “institucionalidade” a partir dos seguintes temas: política de saúde e educação; política de formação de gestores; e profissionalização. Identificou-se como elemento comum o fato de tanto o Brasil quanto a Espanha adotarem a proteção à saúde como direito de cidadania por meio de sistemas públicos e universais de saúde. A diferença mais significativa diz respeito à cobertura populacional, alcançada na quase totalidade na Espanha no final dos anos 1990. Evidenciou-se a inexistência de uma política nacional de formação de gestores nos dois países, considerada central para a profissionalização da gestão em saúde. Ainda que o tema da profissionalização esteja presente no Brasil, na Espanha assumiu contornos institucionais distintos com avanços significativos em período recente.
Conversas entre mulheres durante o exame citopatológico
Authors: Meneghel Stela Nazareth , Andrade Daniela Pinheiro
Published: July 2019

Resumo Este artigo aborda conversas entre enfermeiras e mulheres, durante consultas ginecológicas para realização de exame citopatológico. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo que analisou as conversas produzidas durante consultas realizadas em três serviços de atenção básica de saúde de um município do Sul do Brasil. A análise das conversas entre enfermeiras e mulheres usuárias dos serviços foi pautada na perspectiva teórico-metodológica da fala-em-interação, abordagem em que as categorias não são definidas a priori, mas emergem a partir das interações entre os falantes. Os fenômenos interacionais de interesse são analisados a partir de excertos de conversas entre três enfermeiras e sete das 26 mulheres que buscaram os serviços de atenção básica em saúde, transcritas segundo as convenções adotadas por analistas da conversa. Por meio de análise das categorias de pertença, observou-se que nas conversas as mulheres se identificam de acordo com os papéis tradicionais de mãe e esposa. Enfermeiras e usuárias compartilham a ideia de que a sexualidade dos homens, pautada no biológico, é irrefreável, e acreditam que devem cumprir as obrigações matrimoniais de esposas, atendendo à necessidade sexual dos maridos, mesmo quando sentem desconforto e dor. Os achados desta pesquisa podem auxiliar os profissionais da saúde a refletirem criticamente acerca das interações conversacionais com as usuárias de serviços de saúde.
El problema de la obesidad en tiempos de capitalismo tardío: de la economía neoliberal a las políticas públicas colaborativas basadas en el “buen vivir”

Published: July 2019

Resumen Estudiamos el problema de la obesidad a partir de la teoría crítica actual, que analiza el problema planteado desde el capitalismo tardío como su causante. Se utiliza una perspectiva crítica que se enmarca en los estudios hegelianos, concretamente en uno de sus libros centrales, La ciencia de la lógica, pues en él “lo inmediato” nos permite visualizar cómo opera la ideología actual subjetivando al ser humano y cómo “lo inmediato” es uno de los principios que dominan el capitalismo desde el cual analizamos el tema. Las lógicas capitalistas son una realidad que crean un modelo social, político y cultural en el que el ser humano queda atrapado, asumiendo la postura productiva y alimenticia de este sistema que nos lanza a la consecución de altos niveles de producción y una política alimenticia basada en el beneficio empresarial y el consumo por encima de la ética del cuidado. Finalizamos proponiendo la construcción de políticas públicas centradas en lo que desde Latinoamérica se ha denominado “buen vivir”.
“O problema é a enorme produção de espermatozoides”: concepções de corpo no campo da contracepção masculina
Authors: Pereira Georgia Martins Carvalho , Azize Rogerio Lopes
Published: July 2019

Resumo Desde o final dos anos 1960, há tentativas de produção de um contraceptivo masculino reversível com eficácia equivalente à da pílula anticoncepcional. Até hoje, esse produto não foi lançado, e as justificativas para tal baseiam-se em entraves de ordem política, econômica, cultural e biológica. O argumento do obstáculo fisiológico tem bastante proeminência nessas explicações e será o nosso foco neste artigo. Com base nos estudos de gênero e ciência, buscamos compreender como esse raciocínio aparece no trabalho de viabilização dessa tecnologia por um ator de destaque no campo, a organização não governamental (ONG) estadunidense Male Contraception Initiative. Por meio da técnica de análise de documentos e com base na metodologia de análise do discurso, buscamos compreender como o corpo masculino é representado e, consequentemente, materializado nesse processo de viabilização de uma “pílula masculina”, e debater o caráter generificado das concepções e intervenções biomédicas. Observa-se que a função reprodutiva dos homens cisgêneros é construída como complexa e, em certo sentido, resistente a intervenções farmacológicas. Tal caracterização se dá em comparação com o corpo feminino cisgênero, que é configurado como mais acessível para a realização da contracepção. A tradicional associação entre mulheres e reprodução e homens e sexo é facilmente reconhecida nessas perspectivas.

Resumo Este estudo bibliográfico tem o objetivo de examinar estudos de avaliação da atenção primária à saúde (APS) no Brasil, enfatizando principalmente o desenho metodológico adotado e características-chave de avaliação. Foram consultadas as bases Scientific Electronic Library Online, Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, utilizando-se a combinação de vocabulários estruturados para indexação e buscando-se artigos publicados entre 2007 e 2017 que abordassem informações originárias de avaliação em serviços brasileiros de APS. Foram selecionados 41 artigos, sendo analisadas, entre outras variáveis, ano de publicação, modalidade do artigo, serviço de APS investigado, desenho metodológico, características avaliativas e desdobramentos e potencialidades oportunizados pela avaliação. Dos 41 produtos de pesquisa, a maioria originou-se de estudos de campo (86,8%) e foi desenvolvida exclusivamente em Unidades de Saúde da Família (48,9%). Quanto aos aspectos metodológicos, observou-se o predomínio de abordagens quantitativas, sendo o Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool) o instrumento mais utilizado nos estudos. Observou-se também que a produção nacional sobre a avaliação em APS refletiu o cenário histórico-político nacional de estruturação desse nível de atenção e assumiu, em sua maioria, características de pesquisa avaliativa com enfoque na avaliação da qualidade. A revisão informa o panorama nacional acerca da avaliação na APS, que denotou o pluralismo conceitual e prático que envolve essa área, mas também limitações e desafios.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é refletir, a partir de nossa experiência como docentes do curso de graduação em Saúde Coletiva da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), sobre o ensino dos conteúdos relativos à problemática/às questões de gênero para estudantes em formação profissional na área da saúde. Acatando o desafio proposto neste dossiê, buscamos analisar como esse bacharelado - per se, interdisciplinar - tem sido atravessado cotidiana e praticamente pelas ciências sociais, em particular pelas teorias que abordam o gênero como categoria analítica e importante ferramenta conceitual para uma compreensão crítica e política da realidade social. Acreditamos que tal aprendizado se torna imprescindível para uma atuação mais engajada com as desigualdades sociais em sentido lato (classe, raça/etnia, gênero), como a de futuros sanitaristas ou pesquisadores em saúde, tendo em vista o despertar do interesse e da sensibilidade discentes para o tema. A partir da conexão de suas próprias experiências e vivencias cotidianas como jovens, mulheres e homens, com pertencimentos étnico-raciais distintos, filiação de classe e inserção religiosa, temos assistido um processo de amadurecimento pessoal e profissional em nossos(as) estudantes que nos comprovam a fecundidade do ensino nessa direção.

Thermal and hydrological performance of extensive green roofs in Amazon climate, Brazil
Authors: Watrin Vanessa da Rosa , Blanco Claudio José Cavalcante , Gonçalves Edkeyse Dias
Published: July 2019

Improper urban planning has been proven to produce excessive environmental impacts in urban areas, such as urban flooding and urban heat islands. A new approach to protecting the urban environment brought forward the idea of low-impact urban development, which uses rainwater-control devices such as cisterns, permeable pavements and green roofs. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of green roofs in two important environmental dimensions: thermal and hydrological. An experimental study was conducted at the Federal University of Pará Guamá Campus, Belém, Brazil. Hydrological and thermal data from a green roof and a fibre-cement roof were collected and compared to analyse the performance of the roofs. The results showed extensive green roofs to be an effective tool for reducing rainfall run-off at the roof scale, particularly for small-storm events, as well as an efficient thermal roof insulation.

Significance Statement

TRPC6 is a receptor-activated nonselective cation channel. Naturally occurring mutations in this channel are associated with FSGS. FSGS-associated TRPC6 channel mutations appear to have a “gain-of-function” mechanism, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. The authors show that negative feedback regulation induced by cellular calcium levels, called Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI), is impaired in FSGS-associated TRPC6 channel mutations. Dysfunctional coiled-coil assembly in the mutated TRPC6 disrupts calmodulin bridging which is essential for CDI. The authors reveal how disruption in a Ca2+-dependent regulatory mechanism may play a role in FSGS.

Background

TRPC6 is a nonselective cation channel, and mutations of this gene are associated with FSGS. These mutations are associated with TRPC6 current amplitude amplification and/or delay of the channel inactivation (gain-of-function phenotype). However, the mechanism of the gain-of-function in TRPC6 activity has not yet been clearly solved.

Methods

We performed electrophysiologic, biochemical, and biophysical experiments to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying calmodulin (CaM)-mediated Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) of TRPC6. To address the pathophysiologic contribution of CDI, we assessed the actin filament organization in cultured mouse podocytes.

Results

Both lobes of CaM helped induce CDI. Moreover, CaM binding to the TRPC6 CaM-binding domain (CBD) was Ca2+-dependent and exhibited a 1:2 (CaM/CBD) stoichiometry. The TRPC6 coiled-coil assembly, which brought two CBDs into adequate proximity, was essential for CDI. Deletion of the coiled-coil slowed CDI of TRPC6, indicating that the coiled-coil assembly configures both lobes of CaM binding on two CBDs to induce normal CDI. The FSGS-associated TRPC6 mutations within the coiled-coil severely delayed CDI and often increased TRPC6 current amplitudes. In cultured mouse podocytes, FSGS-associated channels and CaM mutations led to sustained Ca2+ elevations and a disorganized cytoskeleton.

Conclusions

The gain-of-function mechanism found in FSGS-causing mutations in TRPC6 can be explained by impairments of the CDI, caused by disruptions of TRPC’s coiled-coil assembly which is essential for CaM binding. The resulting excess Ca2+ may contribute to structural damage in the podocytes.

Time and chaos: the “imagination of possibilities” and the media
Authors: Castro Gustavo , Dravet Florence
Published: July 2019

This article proposes a reflection about the notion of time and its relation to the media based on the complex thinking paradigm and the transdisciplinary perspective. Departing from reflections about literary and cinematographic narratives, our objective is to examine how the notion of time mediates the concept of comprehension of space/time as well as of the aesthetic perception of the world between order and chaos. We relied on the dialogue between science and narrative and on modern physics for concepts of time, order and chaos. Our conclusions point to three ideas: 1) the constant remembrance of catastrophe is an obsessive intimate theme which presents itself through an artistic and mediatic narrative; 2) the expression of catastrophic obsession partially satisfies the current humanity’s affection for horror and 3) the imaginary of catastrophe traverses time and space, being transdisciplinary.
Fear time versus science time: discursive disputes over the epidemic of the Zika virus and microcephaly in Brazil
Authors: Cunha Simone Evangelista , Garcia Marcelo
Published: July 2019

This article discusses some of the tensions caused by the friction between distinct temporal regimes associated with an epidemic episode. This text is based on the study of the way information related to the Zika epidemic and microcephaly in Brazil was speeded out during the year 2015-2016. Starting with the context of intense mediatization, as well as of the complex temporality produced by digital communication technologies, we sought to analyze the relationship between human and non-human actors that contributed to the social construction of this epidemy. The focus of the text are the videos produced by the “lay” public who also spread rumors which show likely alternative explanations about the epidemy.
The chairs of hereditary cancer: understanding time and illness using creative ethnographic drawing
Authors: Noronha Susana de
Published: July 2019

Using scientific illustration, this article aims to examine how time is experienced, understood, and managed in hereditary malignancies, analysing the breast cancer story of a Portuguese woman with BRCA1/2 mutations. Blending lived experience, anthropology, and art, this text results from a transdisciplinary qualitative exercise, incorporating embodied knowledge, speech, and creative ethnographic drawing at the core of the research, using them as methodological and heuristic resources. Based on a narrative collected in an informal interview, it suggests the use of visual and creative methodologies aimed at a reinforced understanding of cancer. Combining text and images, we will analyse the multiple meanings of time that permeate this story, searching for the experiences, uses, and meanings of moments of waiting, interruption, slowness, delay, urgency, and acceleration, before, during and after illness and treatment, using and drawing chairs, as concrete objects and metaphors, to give them form. Waiting emerges as the most relevant experience to understand her hereditary cancer story, linking past, present, and future within a form of suffering that minimizes physical pain.

Liberal and Conservative Trends in Post-Soviet Social Policies for Children
Authors: Okolskaya Lidia
Published: July 2019

This study examines the framework documents capturing the political rhetoric on children as well as different versions of the Russian law on children’s rights to explore how government agencies perceive and treat children as a social group and what social policy values and norms are at play in this field in Russia. The sample includes documents of two genres: general child protection policies and existing laws. Content analysis allows identifying the underlying values and the principles of treating children (universalism, self-direction, benevolence, conservation, openness to change) as well as the methods of social policy (incentivization, normalization, prohibition) that have been reflected in the legislative documents. Analysis of how social policies for children were changing from the 1990s through the 2010s shows that both liberal and conservative trends were present. The liberal trend of the 2010s consisted in taking terms and values from the international legislative experience. In particular, children have come to be recognized as social actors and full-fledged participants of societal processes; the government’s perception of children as a social group has become more individualized; orphanage deinstitutionalization is occurring; children’s need for belonging and love has been acknowledged; the values of autonomy, such as independence and responsibility, are being encouraged in children. The conservative trend in social policies for children manifests itself in a statistically significant growth of support for the traditional values, such as multigenerational households, parental authority, and family loyalty.
Predation assessment on fake caterpillars and leaf sampling: Protocol for partner schools v1
Authors: Castagneyrol Bastien , Valdés-Correcher Elena , Kaennel Dobbertin Michèle , Gossner Martin
Published: July 2019

The 'Oak bodyguards' citizen science project aimed to assess the effects of climate on two key biotic interactions occurring widely in natural and anthropized ecosystems, i.e., the top-down and bottom-up forces controlling insect herbivory on leaves of the English oak (Quercus robur) trees. We chose the English oak as a model species as it is one of the most common and most emblematic forest trees in Europe, with a geographic range spanning more than 19 degrees of latitude. It is also widespread in both rural, suburban and urban environments. We exposed dummy plasticine caterpillars in trees to estimate predation rates. We additionally estimated leaf insect herbivory as the percentage of leaf area removed or damaged by insect herbivores. The Oak bodyguards project involved professional scientists and school children throughout Europe. We designed a simple protocol that was applied by both partner types. The protocol was written by scientists in collaboration with science instructors and communication officers. It was available in five languages: French, English, German, Spanish and Portuguese. The present document is the English version of the protocol. It describes how to estimate insect herbivory on oak leaves as well as predation rate on artificial prey made with green modelling clay.
