ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to determine the best extraction condition of bioactive compounds from lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), using the conventional method and ultrasonic assisted extraction, varying the temperature, in order to evaluate the antioxidant activity and the antimicrobial activity of the extract with higher antioxidant power in fresh chicken sausages during the storage period. The extracts were obtained by the conventional method (solvent extraction) and by ultrasound assisted extraction, varying the temperature (20°C, 40°C and 60°C). Phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity were measured by the DPPH, FRAP, ORAC methods. Conventional extraction and ultrasound methods influenced the phenolic and total flavonoid content at all tested temperatures. Conventional and ultrasonic methods did not influence the IC50 at temperatures of 40°C and 60°C. The antioxidant activity by the DPPH method and by the FRAP method was superior in the conventional method at the temperature of 60°C, however by the ORAC method the best results were in the extraction by ultrasound. The results demonstrate that the conventional extraction at 60ºC was better to obtain extracts of lemongrass with greater amount of bioactive compounds. The antimicrobial capacity evaluated in sausage of fresh chicken showed that in the concentration of 1.0% of the extract protected the product as the growth of mesophilic aerobes and against the growth of psychrotrophic bacteria. Lemongrass can be considered as a natural alternative to obtain extracts rich in bioactive compounds, with antioxidant activity and high antimicrobial capacity.
An Exploratory Study of Forgiveness’ Place into the Interpersonal Conflicts of Pre-teenagers
Authors: Leme Maria Isabel da Silva , Bechara Laura Carrasqueira , Kfouri Mariana
Published: November 2018

Abstract Forgiveness, besides being a controversial issue among researchers in terms of its nature, has not been studied in younger age groups, and neither related to the conflict situations faced by this population. This study aimed to fill this gap, seeking relationships among pre-teens’ strategies to solve conflicts and forgiveness, as well their conceptions about the act and possible relationships with characteristics like religion practice, gender. Therefore, we collected information about pre-teens’ conflict resolution strategies as well religion, the types of situations and persons considered forgivable, and regarding themselves, when and how would they ask for forgiveness. It was found that, although the participants have accurate concepts of forgiveness, the occurrence of such an act in terms of situations and circumstances considered forgivable is not yet related to their conflict resolution strategies. On the other hand, some results related to forgiveness contribute to a better understanding of preteens’ interpersonal conflicts.

Resumo Introdução Apesar do conhecimento sobre a etiologia multifatorial do crescimento intrauterino restrito, há escassez de estudos nacionais. Objetivo Estimar a adequação do peso ao nascer para idade gestacional e investigar fatores associados ao recém-nascido pequeno para idade gestacional (RN-PIG), com destaque para tabagismo e pré-natal. Método Estudo seccional em maternidades públicas no Rio de Janeiro e em Niterói, em 2011, com 1.771 nascidos vivos. Foram realizadas entrevistas com puérperas e consultas em prontuários. Estimaram-se prevalências e intervalos de confiança (IC95%) de recém-nascido pequeno para idade gestacional (RN-PIG), recém-nascido adequado para idade gestacional (RN-AIG) e recém-nascido grande para idade gestacional (RN-GIG), usando a curva INTERGROWTH-21st , segundo características maternas, da gestação e do recém-nascido. Utilizou-se regressão de Poisson, com o desfecho sendo nascer PIG. Resultados As prevalências foram de 9,3% para PIG e de 15,9% para GIG. Cor parda (RP = 1,4), baixa escolaridade (RP = 1,3), inadequação de pré-natal (RP = 1,3), tabagismo (redução/cessação: RP = 1,7; continuidade: RP = 2,4) e hipertensão arterial (RP = 1,3) foram associados ao PIG na análise univariada (p < 0,20), e apenas tabagismo manteve-se associado no modelo final (redução/cessação: RP = 1,7 e continuidade: RP = 2,3; p < 0,05). Conclusão A prevalência de PIG mostrou um efeito dose-resposta com o tabagismo. Estratégias populacionais antitabaco devem intensificar a prevenção direcionada às mulheres em idade fértil e, particularmente, às gestantes, com ações específicas para estímulo à cessação no pré-natal.

Published: November 2018

Abstract Background Oral health has an important impact on quality of life and should be an integral part of the overall health of the individual. Quilombolas, afro-descendants communities, live in difficult-access rural areas and with several obstacles on the use of health services. Objective This study is aimed to analyse the oral health conditions of the older Quilombola population in the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and the main limitations faced by these communities regarding public health services' access. Method This study evaluated the oral health of elderly Quilombola population in the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study's population consisted in 669 Quilombolas, aged 65 to 74 years old, residing in 33 Quilombola rural communities that are located in 20 different counties of Brazil. Examinations and interviews were conducted in the houses of the elderly people surveyed for the assessment of oral health condition, analysing the use of dental health services, objective conditions (clinical) and subjective conditions (reported). Results Most of the interviewees were self-declared black, female, illiterate and living below the minimum wage. More than 50% of the elderly Quilombola- population interviewed were edentulous and only 17% used total prosthesis. The smiling was the main impact of oral condition reported by them in everyday life. Conclusion The analysis provided by this study exposes the impact of overlooked oral health conditions in minority populations as Quilombolas and reinforces the need of public investments in those vulnerable communities.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to correlate risk classification categories with the level of pain of patients in an emergency service. Method: cross-sectional study carried out in the Risk Classification of 611 patients. The variables studied were: age, gender, comorbidities, complaint duration, medical specialty, signs and symptoms, outcome, color attributed in the risk classification of and degree of pain. We used Analysis of Variance, a Chi-Square test and a Likelihood Ratio test. Results: the average age was 42.1 years (17.8); 59.9% were women; the green (58.9%) and yellow (22.7%) risk classification prevailed and hypertension (18.3%) was the most common Comorbidity. The most frequent pain intensity was moderate (25.9%). In the red category, patients presented a higher percentage of absence of pain; in the blue, mild pain; and in the green, yellow and orange categories, there was a greater percentage of intense pain (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: among the patients who presented pain, the majority reported moderate intensity. Regarding risk categories, most patients in the red category did not report pain. Those who were classified as green, yellow and orange, reported mostly intense pain. On the other hand, patients in the blue category reported predominantly mild pain.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the anxiety level of the mothers of newborns with congenital malformations who were diagnosed in prenatal and postnatal care. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 115 mothers of 117 newborns with congenital malformation admitted to three neonatal units. A questionnaire containing maternal and neonatal variables was used, as well as the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory. Data were analyzed by Student’s t-test and Kolmogorov-Sminorv test. The anxiety level was categorized as low (percentile <25), moderate (25-75) and high (> 75), with a significance level of 5%. Results: most mothers had moderate levels of anxiety. Regarding the diagnosis of the malformation, 57% received the news in the prenatal and 43% in the postnatal period. The anxiety level of those who received the prenatal diagnosis was lower than those who received in the postnatal period, evaluated by the Trait Anxiety Inventory (p = 0.026). Conclusion: mothers of newborns with malformations presented moderate anxiety, and this was higher when the diagnosis was given in the postnatal period. The use of the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory can provide guidance to other studies and to clinical practice.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and factors associated among women who have sex with women. Method: cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study with 150 women. The vaginal microbiota profile was analyzed by microscopic examination of vaginal swabs according to the Gram method. Endocervical samples were collected with cytobrush for the investigation of endocervicitis by Chlamydia trachomatis. The polymerase chain reaction was used to diagnosis Human Papillomavirus infection. Socio-demographic data, sexual behavior and clinical history were obtained through an interview. Logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors independently associated with bacterial vaginosis. Results: among the 150 participants, 71 (47.3%) presented some alteration in the vaginal microbiota, 54 (36.0%) bacterial vaginosis and 12 (8.0%) Flora II. The variable independently associated with bacterial vaginosis was the use of sexual accessories [2.37(1.13-4.97), p=0.022]. Conclusion: the high prevalence of bacterial vaginosis among women who have sex with women indicates the need for screening this population and association between use of sexual accessories and this disease suggests the possibility of transmission of sexual fluids between the partners during the sexual act, which demonstrates the need for educational actions on sexual and reproductive health.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the relationship of family management with sociodemographic and physical dependence aspects of children and adolescents with neurological impairment. Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted at a child neurology center. A non-probabilistic sample was obtained from 141 family members who answered two instruments: a) Sociodemographic condition of families; b) Family Management Measure. In the statistical analysis, we used the Spearman Coefficient and the Mann Whitney Test. Results: the longer the specialized care time, the lower the identity score (rs = - 0.209, p = 0.01); the higher the effort score (rs = 0.181, p = 0.03), the family difficulty score (rs = 0.239, p = 0.001) and the impact of the disease on family life (rs = 0.213, p = 0.01). The families of children and adolescents with physical dependence for activities of daily living presented a higher score in the following dimensions: management effort (<0.001), family difficulty (p = 0.004) and perception of disease impact (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There was evidence of a correlation between management with sociodemographic and child dependence aspects, with an association between management difficulty and longer time of child and adolescent care.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the combined use of models for the evaluation of work-related psychosocial aspects and their association with the prevalence of Minor Psychics Disorders among nursing workers. Method: cross-sectional study with a sample of 285 nursing workers. Data collection was performed through the application of a structured sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire and the Demand-Control-Support, Effort-Reward Imbalance and Self-Reporting Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and a multiple logistic regression were performed. Results: the prevalence of suspicion of minor psychics disorders was 32.6%. The dimensions of both models were associated with mental health. The full Effort-Reward Imbalance and Demand-Control and Social Support models predict Minor Psychics Disorders to a greater extent than the combined use of partial models. Conclusion: it was found that the Effort-Reward Imbalance model captured better the magnitude of the Minor Psychics Disorders in this sample of workers compared to the Demand-Control and Social Support model. However, the concomitant use of the theoretical models revealed unique contributions in the evaluation of Minor Psychics Disorders. Considering the complexity of mental illnesses, it is important that different factors be evaluated.

Authors: Salomão N. V. , Silva M. D. D. , Machado E. L. M.
Published: November 2018

Abstract Considering that area and edge effects are the most important factors that lead to landscape changes from the fragmentation of terrestrial communities, the present study aimed to analyze changes in the structure of vegetation classes of a fragmented landscape. The methodology employed was based on a model of patch dynamics for the years between 1979 and 2015. The analysis was performed with quantitative (area, shape and edge effect) and qualitative (low declivity of the terrain, fire resistance and tolerance to variation in light) variables of the classes of vegetation. Processes of retraction and expansion of the vegetation classes were identified, as well as the alteration of the structure of the fragments, which resulted in the intensification of the edge effect.

Resumo A síndrome de Lemierre caracteriza-se pela tromboflebite séptica da veia jugular interna, após uma orofaringite, com embolização séptica para o pulmão ou outros órgãos. Neste relato de caso, apresentamos uma paciente feminina, 37 anos de idade, com história de edema e dor em hemiface direita há três dias, associada a fadiga e dispneia progressiva há um dia. História de extração dentária do elemento 48 há três dias. No exame físico admissional, apresentava-se taquipneica, saturando 60% (em ar ambiente), com edema em ângulo da mandíbula direita, redução difusa do murmúrio vesicular e panturrilhas sem empastamento. Angiotomografia de tórax e exames laboratoriais foram compatíveis com quadro de embolia séptica, e tomografia computadorizada da cervical corroborou o diagnóstico de tromboflebite séptica da veia jugular interna. Foi tratada com antibióticos e sintomáticos. A síndrome de Lemierre afeta mais homens jovens e tem embolização para o pulmão em até 97% dos casos. Extrações dentárias raramente podem ser a etiologia dessa síndrome. A tomografia computadorizada é o método de imagem mais utilizado no diagnóstico, e o tratamento é, essencialmente, com antibióticos; portanto, a abordagem cirúrgica é raramente necessária.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT This paper analyzed the effects of the spatial distribution of the firewood gross production value (GPV) of northeast Brazil through an exploratory approach using spatial data for the period from 1994 to 2013. Identification of spatial clusters in firewood production through the spatial weighting matrices of 2 nearest neighbors and “queen” and “rook” contiguity matrices were used. Based on the analyses, the following can be concluded: there is a positive autocorrelation for firewood GPV; the high-high spatial cluster was formed predominantly in the Bahia region; the high-high spatial cluster, which considers the weight matrix per area, was composed of the Ceará and Pernambuco mesoregions; the low-low spatial cluster consisted of the Sergipe and Alagoas mesoregions; and the low-low cluster, which considers the weight matrix per area, was formed by the Sergipe, Alagoas and Piauí regions.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT This research aimed to characterize the biometry of seeds, the morphology of seedlings and to evaluate the initial growth of blue jacaranda trees (Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don.) in two environments with distinct luminosity. The biometry of 100 de-winged seeds was measured by their length, width and thickness. One hundred seeds were sown into 300 cm3 tubes and seedlings morphology was registered throughout the germination process using digital photographs disposed sequentially according to seedlings age. The initial growth analysis was performed in two environments, full sun and greenhouse, during nine periods, and arranged in a complete randomized design with subplots. The response variables were: number of leaves, plant height, collar diameter, root length, aerial and roots dry weight, and Dickson’s Quality Index (DQI). Biometry results showed seeds 7.09 - 9.26 mm long, 6.74 -9.39 mm wide, and 1.11 -1.89 mm thick. Germination is of hypogealphanerocotylar type, with first root arising six days after sown. Plants at full sun presented larger collar diameters, greater root dry weight and higher DQI as evaluation periods passed by. In conclusion, the biometry of seeds and the morphology of seedlings of blue jacaranda can be used to recognize this species in the field. Plants at full sun presented better development. Seedlings cultivated at full sun can be destined to recuperate forests and degraded areas just 36 weeks after sowed.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT This research objective was to evaluate the technical feasibility of using Schizolobium amazonicum Huber ex Ducke (Paricá) and Cecropia palmata Willd (Embaúba) timbers for the production of veneers and external plywood using two types of adhesives: phenol-formaldehyde and tannin-formaldehyde, and different veneer compositions. The trees were harvested in a planted forest area from gap enrichment in the municipality of Dom Eliseu, Pará state. The Pinus elliottii timber was used as the reference and was donated by a company located in the municipality of Irati, Paraná state. The panels were produced with pure timber of the three species, and two combinations between the paricá and embaúba species, using a resin weight of 145 g m 2 in single line. The veneers yield for the paricá was 80.03% and that of the embaúba 46.37%; The panels produced with pure embaúba timber, or in combination with paricá timber, and bonded with phenol-formaldehyde, presented satisfactory technological properties for external use and were the compositions that presented better properties. The best adhesive for the panels was phenol-formaldehyde, as the tannin-formaldehyde did not present good performance in the weight used in this study.
LOSS OF DESICCATION TOLERANCE IN SEEDS OF TREE SPECIES DURING GERMINATION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Pereira Wilson Vicente Souza , Faria José Marcio Rocha , Tonetti Olivia Alvina Oliveira , José Anderson Cleiton , Melo Lucas Amaral de
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Understanding the loss of desiccation tolerance is of great importance in seed technology for its implications in the development of strategies for seed conservation and seedling production. In the present work, the loss of desiccation tolerance was studied in seeds of tree species Bowdichia virgilioides, Libidibia ferrea, Cedrela fissilis, Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Handroanthus impetiginosus, and Piptadenia gonoacantha. The seeds were collected in the region of Lavras, MG, and subjected to desiccation experiments individually for each species. Imbibition curve was created for each species by measuring seed weight at regular intervals under germination conditions. Based on this information, the seeds were allowed to imbibe for a time inferred from the imbibition curve, and then allowed to dry until reaching the initial water content measured before the imbibition begun. Then, the seeds were rehydrated, and those that developed into normal seedlings were considered desiccation-tolerant. The loss of seed desiccation tolerance followed a specific pattern in each studied species, but none of the species was tolerant to desiccation after radicle protrusion. A drastic decrease in desiccation tolerance was observed in P. gonoacantha seeds at the beginning of the germination process. Under the conditions implemented in this study, the loss of desiccation tolerance in all species started at the beginning of the germination process. These results have implications in both theoretical studies (seed priming) and the practice (in seedling production).

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT One of the main diseases occurring in clonal nurseries of Eucalyptus spp. is powdery mildew caused by the fungus Oidium eucalypti. This work evaluated the efficiency of biological products based on Trichoderma spp. and Bacillus spp. applied as preventive and curative treatments for the control of Oidium eucalypti in clonal seedlings of E. benthamii Maiden et Cambage. Treatments were: Trichoderma harzianum (THP), T. atroviride (TAI), T. harzianum (THE), Trichoderma spp. (TTA), Bacillus spp. (BNE), Sulfur (KUM), Difenoconazol (SCO) and distilled water (AD). Treatments were applied preventively by spraying seven days before inoculation of the pathogen, and in curatively, ten days after inoculation. Weekly evaluations of the incidence and severity of the disease were done. The analyzed variables were: Disease Index (ID) and Incidence (I), calculating the area under the disease curve (AUDPC) for each treatment. The results pointed BNE (Bacillus spp.) and TAI (isolate T. atroviride) as effective preventive treatments and BNE (Bacillus spp.), applied curatively for the control of O. eucalypti in E. benthamii seedlings, proving that treatments based on biological products may be effective for controlling eucalyptus powdery mildew in clonal nurseries.

Resumo: Este estudo objetiva compreender as vivências e perceções sexuais de mulheres portuguesas com mais de 65 anos. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas a 13 mulheres (sete casadas e seis viúvas), com idades compreendidas entre os 66 e os 85 anos, e a informação obtida foi analisada através do método da análise temática. Desta análise foram construídos 5 (cinco) temas - Perceções sobre papéis de género, Sexo “obrigação”, Sexualidade e envelhecimento, Medos do casamento e da sexualidade e Educação sexual. Para as participantes deste estudo, encarar as alterações provocadas pelo envelhecimento como fim da obrigação sexual ou como uma oportunidade de readaptação sexual está inteiramente relacionado com a relação conjugal em si e com as ideologias que os membros do casal têm.
Feminismo materialista na França: sócio-história de uma reflexão
Authors: Abreu Maira
Published: November 2018

Resumo: O feminismo materialista constitui uma das correntes mais importantes do feminismo francês. São identificadas com essa perspectiva diversas análises antinaturalistas para as quais o conceito de relações sociais tem uma centralidade - notadamente aquelas produzidas por Christine Delphy, Colette Guillaumin, Nicole-Claude Mathieu e Monique Wittig. Este artigo se propõe a apresentar a emergência dessas teorizações no bojo das intensas mobilizações da década de 1970 e algumas de suas ideias centrais. Partindo de diferentes tipos de fontes como panfletos, textos de revistas militantes e outros materiais não publicados, o objetivo é abordar tais teorias no contexto histórico e teórico no qual emergiram.
Ecofeminismo, teorias do care e as críticas a protetoras de animais de rua
Authors: Osório Andréa
Published: November 2018

Resumo: O artigo pretende efetuar uma análise de algumas das críticas recebidas por protetoras de animais de rua, a saber, acusações de irracionalidade, misantropia e sentimentalismo. Essas acusações são lidas à luz do ecofeminismo e das teorias do care, de modo a perceber esse tipo de proteção como uma atividade de care, majoritariamente desenvolvida por mulheres e sujeita a críticas sexistas. O ecofeminismo é mobilizado para combater o sexismo em questão, indicando o potencial que a proteção animal apresenta, de construir outros papéis que não os tradicionais para as mulheres.
Gender Justice in Feminist Analysis of Public Policies in Argentina, Brazil and Chile
Authors: Muñoz-Cabrera Patricia , Rangel Patricia Duarte
Published: November 2018

Abstract: This paper presents part of the authors’ postdoctoral research at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. It focuses on the transformation processes triggered by feminist-driven governmental actions in Brazil, Argentina and Chile over the last few years, especially during the terms of Cristina Fernández, Dilma Rousseff and Michele Bachelet. Using concepts and theoretical insights from specialized literature, we address questions about lobbying and disputes in the political arena in order to understand the impact of feminisms on public policies, and the extent to which these policies relate to the intersectional nature of discrimination (gender, race / ethnicity, class). Four major public policies areas are examined, namely economic autonomy, social facilities, health, and violence, from three analytical angles: 1) the role of women’s policy agencies in policy making processes; 2) Gender-Aware Public Policies during the mandates of female presidents in Argentina, Brasil e Chile; 3) the intersectionality of gender justice in public policy-making.

Published: November 2018

Abstract Introduction Endodontically treated teeth are more susceptible to root fracture than vital teeth. In order to reduce the risk of fracture, the use of intra-radicular posts and crowns is indicated. However, their own fracture resistance remains unclear. Objective To analyze the behavior of metal-ceramic crown copings cemented to two types of intra-radicular posts under tensile stress. Material and method Sixteen metal-ceramic crown copings cemented with zinc phosphate cement to cast metal posts and cores (group 1, n = 8) or with self-adhesive resin cement to glass-fiber posts rebased with composite resin (group 2, n = 8) were subjected to tensile testing after endodontic treatment and standardized preparation. Failure occurred when the crown coping and/or post-core assembly fractured and/or detached. Result In group 1, after the application of a mean tensile load of 46.83 N, 7 crown copings and metal cores separated as a whole, while in 1 specimen the coping detached from the metal core. In group 2, a mean tensile load of 127.68 N resulted in glass-fiber post fracture, and in 1 case the entire crown-post-core assembly was detached. Tensile strength differed significantly between the two groups (p = 0.0085). Conclusion Our findings suggest that metal-ceramic crown copings cemented with self-adhesive resin cement show strong adhesion to composite resin cores associated with glass-fiber posts, thus providing a safe alternative to the use of cast metal posts and cores.

Abstract Introduction The use of osseointegrated dental implants for the rehabilitation of patients has revolutionized dentistry. Objective To retrospectively evaluate the survival rate and the frequency of complications with external hexagon platform supporting single crowns. Material and method Dental forms of 110 patients who received 143 implants at the Ilapeo College (2004-2015) were used. The variables were: age, gender, systemic involvement at the time of surgery, region, implant design, type of surface, fixation system, pillar type and prosthesis material. The outcome variables were the incidence of complications in the implant or prosthesis and time in use. The mean follow-up period was 9 years. Result 32.8% had some systemic disease. Ninety-six implants (67.1%) were installed in the maxilla and 47 (32.9%) in the mandible, 87 (60.8%) were in the posterior region and 56 (39.2%) in the anterior region, while 40 (28%) were placed in regions that had received bone reconstruction. The majority (97.2%) of the implants presented surface treatment, 42% had a cylindrical design and 58% were tapered. The majority of the prosthetic components (89.6%) used were UCLAs and most of the prostheses were fused-to-metal (79.7%). The rate of prosthetic complications was 19.58% and three implants had been lost (97.9% survival rate). There was no statistical difference between the variables analyzed for both the occurrence of prosthetic complications and for the loss of the implant. Conclusion Implants with external hexagon connection were an effective and predictable option to support crowns and had high survival rates.

ABSTRACT: The entomopathogen Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is widely used as one of the ingredients in pest control formulations, but researches conducted on its effect on non-target organisms are still in the nascent stage. This investigation aimed to uncover if Bt treated with Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae and pupae could affect the biological variables of Podisus nigrispinus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and Palmistichus elaeisis (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), all of which established natural enemies of leaf defoliator caterpillars in the eucalyptus culture. Larvae of T. molitor were fed on wheat bran containing different concentrations of B. thuringiensis (0.00; 0.25; 0.50; 1.00; 2.00 and 4.00 g Agree/kg bran). When the larvae attained size of about 2 cm, they were used as prey for P. nigrispinus (Bioassay I), and their pupae used as hosts for P. elaeisis (Bioassay II). Only the biological variables oviposition period and egg numbers by posture of the predator P. nigrispinus were altered. The biological variables of P. elaeisis were not altered, since it was possible to use these control methods within the integrated pest management.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the spatial-temporal distribution of phytophagous and predatory mites in the canopy of Jatropha curcas L. Mite richness, diversity, and abundance were determined, and higher values were observed primarily in the top stratum. Mite population in J. curcas was higher during the rainy season. Phytophagous mites were mostly concentrated in the top stratum, and Brevipalpus sp. was the most abundant. Predatory mites from the family Phytoseiidae presented the highest richness and diversity, and Amblydromalus zannoui was the most abundant species. The present results indicate seasonal population dynamics for both predatory and phytophagous mites on J. curcas.

ABSTRACT: The giant African snail Achatina fulica was introduced in Brazil and since then has become an important pest, because of its resistance to abiotic conditions, hermaphroditism, polyphagia, and absence of natural predators. This study aims to evaluate the control of A. fulica in lettuce, in Alagoas, Brazil. Bioassays for the determination of lethal dose and lethal time to adults of A. fulica and the egg mortality were performed in the laboratory by applying commercial synthetic products, commercial and non-commercial alcoholic botanical extracts on mollusk adults. Additionally, the protein concentration, lipase activity and enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), in the stomach, intestine, nervous ganglion and liver were determined. The alcoholic extract of Capsicum frutescens caused higher mortality of A. fulica, and the alcoholic extract of C. frutescens and Piper tuberculatum oil can prevent the hatching of A. fulica. The lipase activity was present and in greater quantities in tissues, stomach, intestine, liver and ganglia of A. fulica, before and after exposure of the alcoholic extract of C. frutescens. The enzymatic activity of BuChE was present in the ganglia and liver of A. fulica, prior to exposure of the alcoholic extract of C. frutescens. The enzymatic activity of AChE was present only in the ganglion and absent in liver of A. fulica, prior to exposure of the alcoholic extract of C. frutescens. The concentration of 10% of the alcoholic extract of C. frutescens caused 84% mortality of adult A. fulica in lettuce in field conditions.

ABSTRACT: Five Zea mays cultivars (BRS Caatingueiro, BRS Gorutuba, BRS Sertanejo, BRS Asa Branca and BR 106) were evaluated considering their effect on the nutrition of the maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais, by analysis of total protein in adult fed with these cultivars and for the presence of lectins and trypsin inhibitors in grains. In addition, free-choice and no-choice assays were performed to investigate the resistance of grains of the Z. mays cultivars to an attack by S. zeamais. The BR 106 cultivar showed the lowest susceptibility index, followed by BRS Caatingueiro, BRS Asa Branca, BRS Sertanejo and BRS Gorutuba. The number of emerged adults in the Z. mays cultivars ranged from 213.17 to 74.0, and the lowest number of insects was recorded for the BR 106 cultivar. The insects were able to feed on grains of all cultivars, but the BR 106 cultivar showed the least reduction in dried biomass. Lectins were detected in extracts from BR 106, BRS Asa Branca, BRS Sertanejo and BRS Gorutuba, and the highest activity was shown by BR 106. The lowest protein assimilation was detected in the insects from treatments with BRS Asa Branca. The extracts from all cultivars were able to inhibit the activity of bovine trypsin, but this effect was not related to the resistance degree of Z. mays cultivars. The results suggest the resistance of BR 160 to the attack of S. zeamais, as well as indicating that the presence of lectin in the grains is the cause of this resistance.

ABSTRACT: The “second generation” of glyphosate-tolerant soybean (RR®2 soybean) was developed through a different technique of insertion of the glyphosate-insensitive EPSPs gene. Information on the selectivity of glyphosate, alone or in combination, in RR2 soybean is lacking. This study evaluated the effects of glyphosate, isolated or in associations, applied at post-emergence (V4), at agronomic performance and seed quality of soybean cultivar NS 6700 IPRO (RR2). The experimental design was randomized block with four replications and seven treatments, conducted in the field for two growing seasons. The treatments consisted of glyphosate herbicide, alone or in combination with clethodim, cloransulam, chlorimuron, lactofen and fluazifop, besides the control without application. Analysis was performed for crop injury, Soil and Plant Analyzer Development (SPAD) index, as well as variables related to agronomic performance (height, number of pods per plant, yield and 1,000-seed weight) and seed quality (vigor, germination, abnormal seedlings and dead seeds). An additional test was conducted with the same cultivar and treatments in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design with four replications. The herbicides did not affect agronomic performance and seed quality of RR2 soybean. Thus, the soybean cultivar NS 6700 IPRO (RR2) was tolerant to glyphosate, alone or combined with other herbicides applied in post-emergence (V4).

ABSTRACT: Evaluation of alveolar macrophage functions of cattle is an important tool in order to assess whether measures taken during the cattle husbandry can decrease the respiratory tract defense. The aim of this study was to determine whether dexamethasone used at therapeutic dose can affect the oxidative metabolism of alveolar macrophages of cattle. This was evaluated by two tests, the fluorometric and colorimetric. The similarity of the results was studied, using alveolar macrophages of six healthy cattle, obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage on a basal and an immunosuppressant moment after the application of dexamethasone. For the fluorometric test, alveolar macrophages were incubated with Staphylococcus aureus and 2’-7’dichlorohidroflurescein, and analyzed by flow cytometer. For the colorimetric test, alveolar macrophages were incubated with Phorbol 12- miristate-13 acetate and nitroblue tetrazolium, dissolved and analyzed in a spectrophotometer. It was noted that dexamethasone therapeutic dose (0.05 mg/kg) reduced the functions of alveolar macrophages from healthy bovine. This result was observed by both tests with the difference that the flow cytometry assay was more informative for identifying which specific cellular function has been compromised.
