Neue Anforderungen aus der Normung und Akkreditierung nach ISO/DIS 15189:2011 – Der State of the Art-Ansatz für Qualität und Kompetenz in medizinischen Laboratorien/New requirements from standardization and accreditation – the state of the art concept for quality and competence in medical laboratories
Authors: Spitzenberger Folker , Weidemann Gerhard
Published: February 2015

Der neue ISO-Normentwurf ISO/DIS 15189:2011 „Medizinische Laboratorien – Besondere Anforderungen an die Qualität und Kompetenz“ stellt deutlich erweiterte Anforderungen an das Qualitätsmanagementsystem in medizinischen Laboratorien. Die Änderungen lassen sich dabei in drei Kategorien differenzieren: redaktionelle, strukturelle und inhaltliche Änderungen. Die wesentlichen Aspekte der auch im Rahmen der Akkreditierung anzuwendenden Norm betreffen inhaltlich sowohl novellierte Anforderungen an das Management als auch technische Anforderungen. Im Mittelpunkt der Dokumentation des Qualitätsmanagementsystems stehen neben dem QM-Handbuch zukünftig mehr als 20 „dokumentierte Verfahren“, die obligatorisch zu erstellen sind. Hinsichtlich der Beauftragung von Fremdlaboratorien als Unterauftragnehmer fordert der Normentwurf durch eindeutige Kennzeichnungspflichten eine deutlich erhöhte Transparenz für Patienten und Einsender. Konzepte wie Risikomanagement und erweiterte Reviewaktivitäten werden neu eingeführt. Im Rahmen der technischen Anforderungen liegt der Schwerpunkt auf einer Konkretisierung der Kriterien bezüglich der Verifizierung/Validierung von Untersuchungsverfahren und der Sicherstellung der Qualität der Untersuchungsergebnisse. Die zukünftige Norm fordert – entsprechend dem definitionsgemäß reflektierten Stand von Wissenschaft und Technik – die Einhaltung von definierten Qualitätskriterien bei der Befundvalidation und im Rahmen des Informationsmanagements eines Laboratoriums. Im regulatorischen Kontext ist der neue Normentwurf in die anstehende Revision des europäischen Medizinprodukterechts eingebunden, die auch In-vitro-Diagnostika einschließt und national im Medizinproduktegesetz umgesetzt wird.
Spielen CRP-Spiegel neben IL-6 und PCT noch eine Rolle für Patienten auf Intensivstationen?/Are circulating levels of CRP compared to IL-6 and PCT still relevant in intensive care unit patients?
Authors: Boenisch Sylvia , Fae Peter , Drexel Heinz , Walli Autar K. , Fraunberger Peter
Published: February 2015

In der Diagnostik von Infektionen und inflammatorischen Prozessen ist das C-reaktive Protein (CRP) einer der meistverwendeten Parameter, unter anderem aufgrund der geringen Kosten und der schnellen Verfügbarkeit. Im Zuge der letzten Jahre gewannen jedoch andere Entzündungsparameter, wie zum Beispiel das Interleukin 6 (IL-6) oder Procalcitonin (PCT), zunehmend an Bedeutung. Obwohl diese Parameter im klinischen Alltag noch nicht überall etabliert sind, besitzen sie doch wesentliche Vorteile in der Diagnostik und im Verlaufsmonitoring von entzündlichen Erkrankungen. Beispielsweise ist die Erkennung entzündlicher Komplikationen auf Intensivstationen durch erhöhte IL-6 Spiegel 24 bis 48 Stunden vor einer Erhöhung des CRP möglich. Die deutliche Überlegenheit von PCT gegenüber CRP in der Diagnostik von bakteriellen Infektionen und Sepsis begründet sich in der höheren Spezifität des PCT für bakterielle Infektionen. Der PCT-Verlauf ermöglicht daher eine bessere Beurteilung des Therapieerfolges und Krankheitsverlaufs des Patienten und liefert Hinweise auf eine gegebenenfalls erforderliche Therapieumstellung. Daraus ergibt sich die Frage, ob die Messung des CRP-Spiegels durch IL-6 und/oder PCT ersetzt werden kann. In dieser Übersichtsarbeit wird die derzeitige Bedeutung von CRP im Verhältnis zu den neueren Entzündungsparametern in der Diagnostik von bakteriellen Infektionen, im therapeutischen Monitoring und in seiner Aussagekraft bezüglich der Prognose des Patienten auf Intensivstationen dargestellt.
Therapeutic drug monitoring of antifungal agents1)
Authors: Heinz Werner J. , Klinker Hartwig
Published: February 2015

New antifungal compounds, advanced diagnostic tools, early initiation of antifungal therapy, and the option of combination therapy have improved the treatment of fungal diseases. Despite this progress, invasive yeast and mould infections are still associated with a high rate of mortality, especially for patients with severe immunosuppression. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) can both help to avoid toxic effects and improve the efficacy of antifungal agents. For flucytosine and some azoles, a TDM guided therapy is already recommended in current guidelines. Actual knowledge about different antifungal agents varies, and the options and indications for the determination of drug concentrations are likewise different for each compound. Intra- and interindividual variability of concentrations and their association with outcome and adverse events are the most important factors. They determine whether therapeutic drug monitoring may provide an option to improve therapy, which is the case for some, but not all, antifungal agents.
Labordiagnostik Katecholamin-produzierender Tumoren
Authors: Lattke Peter , Peitzsch Mirko , Därr Roland , Siegert Gabriele , Eisenhofer Graeme
Published: February 2015

Phäochromozytome, Paragangliome und Neuroblastome sind seltene neuroendokrine Tumoren, die durch eine erhöhte Katecholaminproduktion charakterisiert sind. Die Katecholamine werden noch in den Tumorzellen zu Metanephrinen O-methyliert. Diese Tatsache erklärt die hohe diagnostische Sensitivität und Spezifität der Katecholaminmetabolite zur Diagnostik von Phäochromozytomen und Paragangliomen. Altersangepasste Referenzwerte von Normetanephrin, dem O-methylierten Metabolit von Noradrenalin, erhöhen hierbei noch die diagnostische Spezifität. Gemessen an der höheren diagnostischen Sensitivität sind die auf Flüssigkeitschromatographie beruhenden Methoden, Metanephrine im Patientenplasma zu messen, immunologischen Verfahren überlegen. Für das Neuroblastom-Screening bleibt die Messung der Tumormarker Vanillinmandelsäure und Homovanillinsäure der am häufigsten benutzte Test, obwohl sie eine eingeschränkte diagnostische Sensitivität haben. Für die Diagnose solcher pädiatrischen Tumoren ist die Suche nach neuen, verbesserten Biomarkern notwendig.
Androgens and cardiovascular risk1)
Authors: Lerchbaum Elisabeth
Published: February 2015

Testosterone concentrations in men gradually decrease with age. Whether this reduction in androgen levels is a pathological process or a physiological event remains to be determined. The age-related decrease in testosterone levels is, however, frequently accompanied by adverse health consequences including low bone and muscle mass, increased fat mass, type 2 diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome. Moreover, low androgen levels are associated with increased mortality. Testosterone treatment should be performed in men with low androgen levels as well as clinical signs and symptoms of hypogonadism. In premenopausal women, hyperandrogenemia is associated with several cardiovascular risk factors. The most common cause of hyperandrogenemia in women is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS women are affected by hyperandrogenism, infertility and metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance, central obesity and dyslipidemia. Androgen levels decrease with menopausal transition in women. Hyperandrogenemia is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in postmenopausal women. Whether this hyperandrogenemia results in increased mortality is, however, less clear. Moreover, the impact of androgen supplementation in postmenopausal women with hypoandrogenemia is open.

From Texture to Skid Resistance: A Multi-Scale Modeling Approach
Authors: Chen Xianhua
Published: February 2015

Real-time measurement of the tire–road friction coefficient is extremely valuable for road-maintenance operations and highway safety management. This paper presents a systematic framework to predict skid resistance of wet pavement with a non-contact method, which could be a potential approach for real-time measurements of pavement friction. The grip potential of pavement is estimated according to the measured pavement texture based on theoretical simulation of the complete hysteresis and partial adhesive effects during tire sliding on wet pavement. Such a method could be potentially used for the purpose of harmonization analysis of skid resistance and potential capability of optimization of pavement surface texture.
Subsurface Condition Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement for Pavement Preservation Treatments
Authors: Ahn Hyungjun , Lee Jusang
Published: February 2015

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has developed a guideline for evaluation of subsurface condition, a project-level evaluation for applicability of Indiana pavement preservation treatments (PPT). The developed guideline, using ground penetration radar (GPR) measurements, surface distress, and laboratory tests, determines the pavement subsurface distress severity and its distribution. The guideline also incorporates the newly developed water stripping severity test utilizing the digital image processing. The guideline has hierarchal evaluation system based on the type of data available for the test section. Level 1 is selected if GPR analysis data is available, level 2 is selected if surface distress data is available, and level 3 is used for all other cases. In addition, the subsurface distress distribution analysis tool (DCUAL) provides the locations of the PPT applicable sections. Case studies were conducted to provide aid to better understand the guideline, to present the example evaluation results upon the application of the guideline, and to validate the applicability of guidelines. Three test roads treated with PPTs within two to three years in Indiana were selected, and different evaluation levels were applied to the test roads. Level 1 and level 2 were applied for state road (SR) SR-70, and level 2 and 3 was applied for SR-257 and SR-43, respectively. Level 1 and level 2 analyses in the case study showed a good agreement with the case of the non-uniform subsurface distress distribution. In the process of determining the PPT applicability, pavements with the overall score of 60 or higher were found to be suitable for PPTs for all three levels of analysis and suitable for the Indiana State Roads having average annual daily traffic of less than 9000. Overall, the case study validated that the guideline provides a consistent, rational, and data-driven decision-making process for the applicability of the project-level pavement preservation program.
New Intelligent Controller for Induction Motor Speed Control
Authors: Sasikumar M. , Senthilkumar S. , Balabharathi B. , Praveen M.
Published: February 2015

This paper presents the design and simulation of high-performance brain emotional learning and fuzzy-based intelligent controller (BELFBIC) for three-phase induction motors V/f speed control. BELFBIC is an improved version of a brain emotional learning-based intelligent controller (BELBIC) controller. V/f control is simple and relatively easy to implement. It provides motor performance, which is adequate in most applications. For the first time, BELFBIC is used for space vector pulse width modulation inverter-fed induction motor V/f speed control. A comparative analysis with a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller and BELBIC are also carried out. The simulation is conducted with MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed controller is implemented in hardware, and its performance is shown to be better than either PID or BELBIC.
Considerations for Prolonging the Working Life of Sealed Exterior Building Joints
Authors: Wolf Andreas T.
Published: February 2015

The working life of a sealed joint depends on its inherent durability—determined by joint design, sealant selection, and installation—and on its regular maintenance. Considerable work in the past has focused on the durability of building joint sealants, while less emphasis has been placed on detecting seal failure, particularly in respect to water- and air-tightness, and on suitable preventive measures that allow prolonging the working life of sealed joints. Recent research suggests that wind-driven rain water readily enters cracks in both extended and non-extended joints. Loss of adhesion is the predominant failure mode observed with sealed joints in field studies. Simple visual inspection may not allow detection of this failure mode in non-extended joints and, even more so, in compressed joints. The most commonly used industry protocol to check joint sealant adhesion has been the destructive “pull test” procedure as described in ASTM C1521-13. The ASTM C1521 discontinuous method allows checking the adhesion of the sealant at discrete locations along the joints; however, this inspection procedure is not suited for the evaluation of the continuity of the seal. Recently, a method suitable for continuous inspection of sealed joints has been published: ASTM C1736-11. ASTM C1736 describes a non-destructive procedure that induces a depression in the joint seal via a rolling device. The force-controlled ASTM C1736 method allows an evaluation of the health of sealed exterior building joints as part of the regular preventive maintenance process and, consequentially, an identification of opportunities for minor repairs, which can have a remarkable effect on prolonging the working life of the sealed joint.
Determination of Calibration Function for Fatigue-Crack Propagation by Measurement Surface Deformation
Authors: Glaser B. , Gubeljak N. , Predan J.
Published: February 2015

Components and structures exposed to elastic dynamic loading respond with elastic strains on the surface of the material. Mechanical response could be monitored by deformations on the surface. The measurements and monitoring of these parameters could be performed with electronic devices for on-line measurements, controlled by computerized systems. Fatigue-induced flaw growth was monitored on a four-point specimen, loaded by cyclic dynamic bend forces. The flaw growth was monitored by strain gauges with a standard resistance of 120 Ω. After performance of fractal–graphical measurements, a flaw-growth analysis was performed to determine the shape, propagation, and cross sections of the crack. To determine the stress-intensity factor, a numerical model was developed based on measured crack shapes, material properties, and cyclic loading data of the actual tested specimen. The investigation results showed that the derived calibration curve could be used to predict surface deformations as a result of crack propagation and growth, but not crack initiation. With the determination of surface deformation, one could follow the crack transition from the semi-elliptical surface crack to the through-thickness crack. The stress-intensity factor has been determined numerically by using the finite-element method for five different fatigue-crack fronts. Results show that fatigue crack on the surface of specimens propagated under an almost constant stress-intensity factor value. Consequently, in our case, the fatigue-crack growth rate was constant during transition from a surface semi-elliptical crack to a through-thickness crack front. The aim of this paper is to describe methodology and results based on experimental and numerical modeling during crack propagation and potential use of this technique for online monitoring purposes.

To Show What Will Be By What Has Been
Authors: Young Phoebe S.K.
Published: February 2015

San Diego vied with San Francisco to host the 1915 World’s Fair. San Francisco won, but San Diego went ahead and staged the International Panama-California Exposition. Planners of both fairs traded on ideas of empire to raise their cities’ profiles and capitalize on increased commercial opportunities promised by the newly opened Panama Canal, but they took very different approaches. In San Diego, city leaders saw themselves as inheritors of Spain’s colonial empire and as the critical link to a new American empire at the intersection of Latin America and the Pacific. They also saw themselves as the pinnacle of human progress and conquest, distinct from a supposedly primitive nonwhite past and a romantic Spanish interlude. The impact of this view of California history can still be seen and still troubles the state today.
CaliMeXina or Bust, Cabrones!
Authors: Arellano Gustavo
Published: February 2015

In this essay, humorist Gustavo Arellano looks at the past and present state of relations between Asians and Latinos in California to offer a glimpse of the future for Californians in the Pacific world. He suggests that foreign investment from Latin America and Asia will increasingly turn California into a global crossroad for the world economy, which it has been for a long time already; remittances back home will help modernize countries of origin, while residents here will influence politics there—and in California too. Bilingualism and multiculturalism won’t be so exotic by the twenty-second century, but rather the only way for California and America to survive.
Waiting at the Seal
Authors: Madrigal Alexis
Published: February 2015

In this short piece of science fiction, the author imagines a future California that is divided between people who have used artificial intelligence and bio-hacking to extend and optimize their lives, and those who have access only to 2015-era technologies, and therefore live and die as we do today. The story is of a father who has been optimized giving up his son because he cannot afford the best technology for him.
The Boom Interview
Authors: Steffen Alex
Published: February 2015

An interview with Alex Steffen, a futurist and native Californian. Steffen, a self-described optimist, is nevertheless deeply worried about the inertia he has found in his home state. The power of the past—which, it turns out, has much to do with the California dream—weighs on the present, preventing the changes needed to ensure that the California dream continues to evolve. The irony is that how we think about the future is a big part of the problem.
Women & Film
Authors: Jacob Clarissa K.
Published: February 2015

This short essay provides an introduction to the short-lived but influential magazine Women & Film, published in California between 1972 and 1975. Two graduate students, Siew-Hwa Beh (b. 1945) and Saundra Salyer (b. 1946), from the University of California, Los Angeles, and San Francisco State, respectively, were the founders of this pioneering publication devoted entirely to providing a feminist perspective on film. They set up the magazine in response to a collision between their radical leftist and feminist politics and their cinephilia. This essay contextualizes some examples, which are reproduced here, of the first issue's contents. It also sheds light on the eclectic and impassioned approach adopted by the magazine's editors and contributors, bolstered by accompanying excerpts and images.
Evaluating Simulation Education Via Electronic Surveys Immediately Following Live Critical Events: A Pilot Study
Authors: Happel Corinne Savides , Lease Meredith A. , Nishisaki Akira , Braga Matthew S.
Published: February 2015

Background and Objectives:

Simulation-based medical education has become popular in postgraduate training for medical emergencies; however, the direct impact on learners’ clinical performances during live critical events is unknown. Our goal was to evaluate the perceived impact of simulation-based education on pediatric emergencies by auditing pediatric residents immediately after involvement in actual emergency clinical events.

Methods:

Weekly team-based pediatric simulation training for inpatient emergencies was implemented in an academic tertiary care hospital. Immediately after actual pediatric emergency events, each resident involved was audited regarding roles, performed tasks, and perceived effectiveness of earlier simulation-based education. The audit was performed by using a Likert scale.

Results:

From September 2010 through August 2011, a total of 49 simulation sessions were held. During the same period, 27 pediatric emergency events occurred: 3 code events, 14 rapid response team activations, and 10 emergency transfers to the PICU. Forty-seven survey responses from 20 pediatric residents were obtained after the emergency clinical events. Fifty-three percent of residents felt well prepared, and 45% reported having experienced a similar simulation before the clinical event. A preceding similar simulation experience was perceived as helpful in improving clinical performance. Residents’ confidence levels, however, did not differ significantly between those who reported having had a preceding similar simulation and those who had not (median of 4 vs median of 3; P = .16, Wilcoxon rank-sum test).

Conclusions:

A novel electronic survey was successfully piloted to measure residents’ perceptions of simulation education compared with live critical events. Residents perceived that their experiences in earlier similar simulations positively affected their performances during emergencies.

Published: February 2015

Este artigo parte da hipótese que toda produção no campo da arte coloca em cena, necessariamente, uma transgressão. A arte precisa de uma transgressão que busque tencionar os códigos instituídos abrindo espaços para novas significações. Contudo, nem toda transgressão é perversão. Este artigo busca fundamentar esta tese discorrendo sobre alguns fundamentos do ato de criação mostrando suas interfaces com o discurso psicanalítico.
O sujeito adolescente e a intervenção psicanalítica: notas a partir de um caso clínico
Authors: Teixeira Leônia Cavalcante
Published: February 2015

Este artigo versa sobre as vicissitudes subjetivas e institucionais das medidas sócioeducativas a partir das interfaces entre os estudos sobre a subjetividade nos campos da Psicanálise e do Direito. O adolescer é analisado a partir dos paradoxos e enigmas estruturantes que se instauram no processo de constituição subjetiva, sendo privilegiado como momento lógico a partir da construção de um caso clínico que interroga as intervenções junto ao sujeito adolescente no campo nebuloso de interface entre Psicanálise e Direito. A perversão social consiste no foco da discussão teórico-clínica, sendo o conceito que fez trabalhar a possibilidade de uma clínica psicanalítica quando indicações jurídicas não consideram as vicissitudes subjetivas.

Valores de Motoristas de Caminhão: o que lhes causa Admiração e Indignação?
Authors: Martins Luzia Teixeira , Agli Betânia Alves Veiga Dell'
Published: February 2015

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar quais valores centrais estão presentes nas representações de si de trabalhadores motoristas de caminhão. Participaram da pesquisa 17 motoristas de caminhão de uma empresa de transporte de cargas. Foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista semidirigida e as respostas foram analisadas e categorizadas segundo as técnicas da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram que os valores estão relacionados à ética no que se refere às categorias a si como pessoa e como motorista, mas não como empresa e concluiu-se que existe a necessidade de se criar oportunidades que favoreçam o "desenvolvimento" pessoal e profissional, mas que cabe também à empresa propor ações cooperativas e democráticas para que esse desenvolvimento seja de fato efetivo.

Authors: Kovács Maria Julia , Vaiciunas Nancy , Alves Elaine Gomes Reis
Published: February 2015

Este artigo aborda a questão da morte no cotidiano de trabalho de profissionais funerários. Profissionais de funerária têm condições de trabalho com risco físico e psíquico com possibilidade de desenvolvimento de burnout. Há sobrecarga de trabalho, contato com famílias enlutadas, sem ter preparo para essas tarefas. Não escolheram sua profissão, não têm capacitação nem órgão de classe que os represente. São vistos com desconfiança quando os trabalhos são cobrados ou há demora para realizar os trâmites necessários. São analisados fatores que podem tornar seu trabalho difícil: mortes violentas, suicídio, corpos deteriorados e crianças. Consideramos esses profissionais como cuidadores do corpo morto e de famílias enlutadas. São discutidas formas de cuidados a esses profissionais: luto, famílias, expressão de sentimentos e rituais, e também responder às questões pessoais. Foram oferecidas informações e esclarecimentos sobre modalidades de cuidado pessoal e psicológico.

Authors: Gomes Maria Aparecida de França , Dimenstein Magda
Published: February 2015

A utilização de imagens é um recurso que vem sendo largamente utilizado nas pesquisas qualitativas nas ciências humanas e da saúde. Na Psicologia, as narrativas visuais têm uma função estratégica, pois ajudam a superar barreiras culturais entre pesquisador/pesquisado e produzir conhecimentos culturalmente sensíveis. Objetivou-se apresentar a estratégia de ensaio fotográfico e resultados de investigações que utilizaram narrativas visuais como instrumento metodológico junto às crianças catadoras de lixo, adolescentes em tratamento de dependência química, idosos, adolescentes surdos, profissionais de saúde, estudantes, docentes, assistentes administrativos. Observamos que a fotografia provoca discursos e se apresenta como uma fonte privilegiada de informações da realidade estudada e da visão de mundo dos participantes. A articulação imagem-discurso mostra-se potente no acesso a diferentes dimensões dos sujeitos e constitui uma estratégia de intervenção em várias problemáticas.

O artigo aborda a questão da resistência problematizada por Michel Foucault e analisa as condições de possibilidade, tanto do chamado louco-criminoso, internado em instituição psiquiátrica-penal, quanto do profissionalpsiem poder resistir ao instituído, àquilo que está posto e determinado. Para tal, ancoramo-nos no pensamento filosófico foucaultiano e na capacidade criativa do sujeito em inventar o cotidiano por meio de novasmaneiras de fazerque subvertem a ordem dominante, destacadas por Michel de Certeau. Nosso objetivo é apresentar a visão desses dois autores no que tange à questão da resistência e às estratégias em driblar a cronicidade do instituído e, assim, pensar sobre a atuação do operador de saúde no cotidiano de sua prática no interior das instituições totais.
A potência do cyborg no agenciamento de modos de subjetivação pós-identitários: conexões parciais entre arte, psicologia e gênero
Authors: Stubs Roberta , Teixeira Filho Fernando Silva , Peres Wiliam Siqueira
Published: February 2015

Em consonância com uma psicologia mais afeita ao devir do que às essências, a proposta deste artigo é fundamentar a importância de se compreender a tradicional concepção de subjetividade enquanto um processo de subjetivação, principalmente no que tange as discussões sobre identidade e gênero na atualidade. Feito isso, traçamos algumas aproximações entre arte e psicologia, compreendendo a primeira como um potente dispositivo para favorecer modos de subjetivação que tenham a diferença como inerência relacional. Por fim, lançamos nossos olhares em alguns fragmentos da obra Cremaster do artista contemporâneo Mathew Barney para perceber o modo como a obra ultrapassa os binarismos de gênero e lança linhas pós-identitárias de subjetivação.

Published: February 2015

Para obter altas produtividades de trigo, são necessários o manejo correto da adubação nitrogenada e a utilização de cultivares de alto potencial produtivo. Sendo assim, objetivou-se avaliar doses e fontes de nitrogênio (N), aplicadas totalmente em semeadura ou em cobertura, na produção e nos seus componentes em dois cultivares de trigo irrigado, em sistema de plantio direto, cultivado numa região de cerrado de baixa altitude. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 5 × 3 × 2 × 2, com três repetições, combinando cinco doses de N (0, 50, 100, 150 e 200 kg ha-1), três fontes de N (Entec®, sulfato de amônio e ureia), duas épocas de aplicação de N (na semeadura, ao lado das linhas, ou em cobertura), e em dois cultivares de trigo (IAC 370 e Embrapa 21). Os cultivares de trigo tiveram produtividade de grãos semelhantes. As fontes de N não diferiram para produtividade de grãos e demais avaliações. O N fornecido totalmente na semeadura não diferiu da aplicação tradicional, em semeadura e cobertura, para a produção do trigo irrigado em plantio direto. O incremento das doses de N aumentou os teores foliares de N e de clorofila, a altura de plantas e o número de espigas por m². A produtividade de grãos dos cultivares IAC 370 e Embrapa 21 aumentaram até as doses de 134 e 128 kg ha-1 de N, respectivamente, independentemente da época de aplicação e da fonte de N. A correlação positiva entre o teor de clorofila e a produtividade de grãos em razão das doses de N indicou que a adubação nitrogenada de cobertura pode ser recomendada a partir das leituras (SPAD) de clorofila realizadas aos 38 dias, após a emergência do trigo.

Published: February 2015

Citrus plants are the most important fruit species in the world, with emphasis to oranges, mandarins and lemons. In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, most fruit production is found on small properties under organic cultivation. Soil compaction is one of the factors limiting production and due to the fixed row placement of this crop, compaction can arise in various manners in the interrows of the orchard. The aim of this study was to evaluate soil physical properties and water infiltration capacity in response to interrow management in an orchard of mandarin (Citrus deliciosa Tenore 'Montenegrina') under organic cultivation. Interrow management was performed through harrowing, logs in em "V", mowing, and cutting/knocking down plants with a knife roller. Soil physical properties were evaluated in the wheel tracks of the tractor (WT), between the wheel tracks (BWT), and in the area under the line projection of the canopy (CLP), with undisturbed soil samples collected in the 0.00-0.15, 0.15-0.30, 0.30-0.45, and 0.45-0.60 m layers, with four replicates. The soil water infiltration test was performed using the concentric cylinder method, with a maximum time of 90 min for each test. In general, soil analysis showed a variation in the physical-hydraulic properties of the Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico arênico (sandy loam Typic Paleudalf) in the three sampling sites in all layers, regardless of the management procedure in the interrows. Machinery traffic leads to heterogeneity in the soil physical-hydraulic properties in the interrows of the orchard. Soil porosity and bulk density are affected especially in the wheel tracks of the tractor (WT), which causes a reduction in the constant rate of infiltration and in the accumulated infiltration of water in this sampling site. The use of the disk harrow and mower leads to greater harmful effects on the soil, which can interfere with mandarin production.
Soil water erosion under different cultivation systems and different fertilization rates and forms over 10 years
Authors: Bertol Ildegardis , Barbosa Fabrício Tondello , Mafra Álvaro Luiz , Flores Murilo Córdova
Published: February 2015

The action of rain and surface runoff together are the active agents of water erosion, and further influences are the soil type, terrain, soil cover, soil management, and conservation practices. Soil water erosion is low in the no-tillage management system, being influenced by the amount and form of lime and fertilizer application to the soil, among other factors. The aim was to evaluate the effect of the form of liming, the quantity and management of fertilizer application on the soil and water losses by erosion under natural rainfall. The study was carried out between 2003 and 2013 on a Humic Dystrupept soil, with the following treatments: T1 - cultivation with liming and corrective fertilizer incorporated into the soil in the first year, and with 100 % annual maintenance fertilization of P and K; T2 - surface liming and corrective fertilization distributed over five years, and with 75 % annual maintenance fertilization of P and K; T3 - surface liming and corrective fertilization distributed over three years, and with 50 % annual maintenance fertilization of P and K; T4 - surface liming and corrective fertilization distributed over two years, and with 25 % annual maintenance fertilization of P and K; T5 - fallow soil, without liming or fertilization. In the rotation the crops black oat (Avena strigosa ), soybean (Glycine max ), common vetch (Vicia sativa ), maize (Zea mays ), fodder radish (Raphanus sativus ), and black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris ). The split application of lime and mineral fertilizer to the soil surface in a no-tillage system over three and five years, results in better control of soil losses than when split in two years. The increase in the amount of fertilizer applied to the soil surface under no-tillage cultivation increases phytomass production and reduces soil loss by water erosion. Water losses in treatments under no-tillage cultivation were low in all crop cycles, with a similar behavior as soil losses.

O sistema de plantio pode influenciar atributos físicos e químicos do solo, alterando o desenvolvimento das raízes das culturas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do sistema plantio direto (PD) e o do preparo convencional (PC) e o uso de calcário (0 e 2,0 t ha-1) no sistema radicular da cana-de-açúcar. Este estudo foi realizado em Latossolo Vermelho eutroférrico, em experimento de longa duração, iniciado em 1998, após três ciclos de quatro anos com colheita sem queima da palha. Foram realizadas coletas de amostras de solo para avaliação de alguns atributos físicos (densidade, porosidade e resistência à penetração) e de fertilidade do solo. Para a coleta de raízes, foi utilizada sonda amostradora em quatro épocas definidas pelo balanço hídrico da região, sendo a amostragem realizada em seis pontos equidistantes à linha da soqueira, em camadas de 0,20 m até 1,0 m de profundidade. O PD e o uso de calcário resultaram em valores mais elevados dos atributos relacionados à aplicação do calcário, como V% e teores de Ca, apenas na camada superficial. Os valores de densidade e resistência foram mais elevados no PD e na entrelinha. Na linha de plantio, não houve diferença entre os tratamentos. A cana-de-açúcar manteve, em média, cerca de 4,0 t ha-1 de raízes no solo na camada até 1,0 m de profundidade. Houve diferença significativa entre as camadas e as posições de amostragem e, embora as raízes da cana-de-açúcar se concentrem na superfície e próximo da soqueira, 25 a 30 % das raízes estão na entrelinha (0,6 m da soqueira) e 15 a 30 % estão abaixo de 0,60 m, indicando que as raízes da cana-de-açúcar exploram grande volume de solo. A variação na quantidade de raízes foi mais influenciada pela condição hídrica do solo do que pelas práticas de manejo. A maior quantidade de raiz foi determinada no máximo excedente hídrico; e a menor, na época de reposição hídrica do solo. As maiores variações na quantidade de raízes entre épocas foram observadas no PC e sem aplicação de calcário. Os tratamentos PD e com calcário mantiveram a massa radicular com menor variação ao longo das épocas de amostragem. As alterações físicas e químicas do solo por influência do PD e calcário não foram suficientes para alterar significativamente o desenvolvimento do sistema radicular da cana-de-açúcar.

O presente trabalho relata um surto de intoxicação por sal em ovinos no Brasil, em uma propriedade no estado do Pará. De um total de 545 ovinos, oito animais adoeceram (1,46%) e quatro destes morreram (50%). A avaliação das instalações e do manejo indicaram como fatores predisponentes a ingestão excessiva de mistura mineral e a restrição hídrica. Os principais sinais clínicos foram decúbito, diminuição ou ausência da sensibilidade cutânea, ausência dos reflexos de ameaça, palpebral e auricular, midríase, nistagmo, opistótono, espasticidade de membros, sonolência e estupor. Havia ainda, timpanismo, diarreia, taquipneia, taquicardia, desidratação e poliúria. A evolução do quadro clínico nos animais que morreram variou de duas horas e meia a 48 horas. As médias das concentrações séricas de sódio e de potássio de 31 ovinos do mesmo lote afetado pela intoxicação, em amostras colhidas durante o surto, revelaram hipernatremia (190mEq/l) e hipercalemia (8,2mEq/l). À necropsia, observou-se em um animal, achatamento das circunvoluções cerebrais. Microscopicamente, neste animal, evidenciou-se vacuolização moderada do neurópilo, particularmente nas lâminas intermediárias do córtex cerebral, com aumento dos espaços perineural e perivascular. Nessas áreas foram observados ainda, acentuada tumefação e edema dos astrócitos e necrose neuronal aguda. A dosagem de sódio no encéfalo de um ovino, revelou-se elevada com valor de 3.513ppm. O diagnóstico foi realizado com base na epidemiologia, nos sinais clínicos, nas lesões macro e microscópicas e nas dosagens de sódio no soro e no encéfalo dos ovinos.

Ipomoea asarifolia é uma das principais plantas tóxicas para ruminantes nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. A intoxicação ocorre na época das secas quando há escassez de forragem e é mais frequente em ovinos do que em outras espécies, porem casos espontâneos também são relatados em caprinos, bovinos e búfalos. Este trabalho relata a ocorrência de 18 surtos de intoxicação em bovinos por I. asarifolia que ocorreram de agosto de 2012 a fevereiro de 2013 no estado do Rio Grande Norte. De um total de 1704 bovinos, 202 (11,8%) adoeceram e 34 (2%) morreram. Em seis propriedades onde havia ovinos estes também se intoxicaram. Foram observados também sinais clínicos em bezerros e cordeiros confinados, sem acesso às pastagens, que se intoxicaram pela ingestão do leite das mães que ingeriam I. asarifolia a pasto.

This work was carried out during one year in a fish pond to evaluate the effect of water quality in a plankton community according to the adopted management. High densities of Euglenophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanobacteria were associated with high nitrate levels (1 to 210 mg.L-1). Cell densities of Cyanobacteria over 90 ind.m³ × 10³ (85.5%) occurred when nitrate concentrations approximated 210 mg.L-1, total phosphorus less than 160 mg.L-1 and temperature above 25 °C. High density of Rotifera was associated with high density of Cyanobacteria (December). Only Trichocerca sp. among the Rotifera species was constant in all sampled sites, whereas Diaphanosoma birgei, ranging between 4 and 342 ind.L-1 (0.7 and 2.4%) during the study period, was the most representative among the Cladocera species. Results show that water quality management in the fish pond had a direct influence on the plankton population due to the shallowness of the environment, large nutrient discharges through feed, fertilizing, fish waste. In fact, they contribute towards the appearance of undesirable plankton organisms.
The City and African-Brazilian Religions
Authors: Contins Marcia
Published: February 2015

In this article, I discuss the relationships between ethnicity and religion, based on anthropological studies of religions in the urban context. I also discuss the transformations of these studies since the 1970s. Since I have myself contributed to this field of studies, my own experience as a researcher must be taken into account. I focus on the uses of the categories of ethnicity and religion during two distinct periods in the history of Brazilian anthropology. In each of these periods, I point out significant transformations in the way Brazilian researchers describe themselves and how they conceive the relationship between their research topics and the city.
