Characterisation of clay minerats was attempted by fusion analysis with Ne,CO and determination of CEC of the clay separates. Sixteen clay samples were chosen, four representing each soll group. The date revealed two extremes: the black soils were highly siliceous and laterite soil clay highly sesquioxidic. The soils could be arranged in a sequence, black, alluvial, red and laterite in the increasing order of kaolinite and decreas ing order of montmorillonite. 1:1 clay minerals were dominant in alluvial soils with admixture of 2:1 clay minerals and kaolinite was found to be dominant in the red soil clays. The laterite soils were mainly kaolinitic. CEC and silica-sesquioxide ratio bore s alose relationship between themselves and either of those could be used as a reliable Indicator of clay minerals.

The effects of plant spacing and number of seedlings per hill on LAI were studied in two short duration varieties Kanchi (Co. 34) and Kannagi (Pusa 2-21). Planting was done with 25,50 and 100 hills per m² with one, two, four and eight seedlings per hill. Planting 100 hills per m² with single seedlings per hill recorded the maximum LAI of 7.31 at flower- ing. Increasing the number of seedlings per hill by adopting wider spacing reduced the LAI due to over crowding of tillers and mutual shading of leaves in the line resulting in early senescence. Equitable distribution of seedlings within the unit area is an important factor in deciding LAI.

The genetic Variability in flower production, flower shedding and pods produced per plant and its impact on seed yield of blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) was studied in thirty five cultivars. There were significant differences for these traits between the different genotypes studied. Flower shedding is found to be a heritable trait with 53.04 per cent heritability. The seed yield of the crop is determined by the number of flowers produced and the number of pods set per plant, since these two traits are positively correlated with seed yield. The greater the number of flowers produced the lesser is the percentage of flowers shed as indicated by the significant negative cor- relation between these traits. The high co-heritability estimates between flower shedd- ing and flower production and also between pod number and seed yield suggest that desired recombination could be made between genotypes possessing high flower production and pod setting traits, and genotypes possessing low flower shedding percen tage. It is really the flower production and pod setting potential matter much in determining the yield potential than the flower shedding percentage in blackgram.

Co-operative societies, the traditional agency still continued to play an important role in the disposetion of credit to farmers. The commercial banks though they have come into the picture only recently in regard to direct finance to agriculture have fared well and in due course can be expected to pay a bigger role as they gain ex- perience and certain concessions are granted as in the case of co-operatives. The co- operatives have in no way been affected by the impact of bank credit. The banks serve as a supplementing agency rather than competing with co-operative agency. Regarding recovery of loans in certain cases co-operatives are in better position as they can recover quickly by instituting arbitration proceeding.

Two years data on grain yield revealed non-significant differences in the first year due to slow-release sources of N at a moderate dose of 50 kg N/ha for rice IR 20. In the second year however. IBDU was able to record the highest grain yield of 5040 kg/ha. The split application of N at 25 kg/ha at tillering and another 25 kg/ha at panicle initiation stage and pre-plant application of SCU at 50 kg N/ha gave similar grain yield during second year. No significant difference in the panicle number per unit aren, numberof filled spike- lets, panicle weight and 1000 grain weight due to sources and time of application of N during first year.

Tne different discriminant functions were calculated in 45 strains of chillies grown in the year 1972. The genetic advance cover straight selection for yield and discriminant functions wore calculated and efficiency over straight soloction worked out. The discriminant function based on single character was less efficient. The best selec- tion Index was obtained when based on the seven characters. The comparision of different discriminant functions revealed that number of branches and fruit thickness are major yield components in chillies.

Studies on the conelation of plant characters of cotton with leathepper (Amrosce biguttula biguttula Ishida) incidence revealed that it was positively correlated at a highly significant level with the plant heigh; and negatively with number of leaves and Internodel length. Correlations between the population and patiole length, area of loaf, number of nodes and viold were not significant. Population of leafhoppers and hopparburn, were positively correlated while hopperburn and yield were negatively correlated indicating that population is not the sole factor contributing to the reduction in yield.

Prezados leitores, sejam bem-vindos ao e-CONSULTA, um guia teórico-prático que irá instrumentalizar você enfermeiro(a) a realizar uma consulta de enfermagem bem estruturada e que trará impacto assistencial a pessoa atendida.
Eu me chamo Ludimila Cunha, e como enfermeira atuando há mais de 10 anos profissionalmente percebi o quanto estava distante o conceito teórico da consulta de enfermagem e as ações ao paciente. Isso me incomodou por anos, até que decidi trazer de forma facilitada, simples e dinâmica esse guia interativo, afinal precisamos otimizar o tempo diante das demandas da enfermagem, incentivando e facilitando cada vez mais a prática da consulta de enfermagem. A sociedade precisa de nós e nós podemos ajudar muito!!!
Falar do diferencial de uma boa consulta de enfermagem poderá parecer redundante para vocês que são estudantes (eternos) e/ou profissionais de enfermagem, no entanto, preciso destacar alguns itens que vejo como nossos pontos fortes neste contexto.
Nosso foco está centrando na pessoa/família/coletividade como um todo, de forma holística, através de um olhar amplo que nos permite enxergar além do que é dito ou visto pelo nosso cliente, pois não focamos apenas nas respostas humanas que ele apresentadas diante dos problemas já instalados, mas também vamos além para identificar e prevenir os riscos potenciais e ainda mais além quando atuando na promoção da saúde daquela pessoa.
Esta obra é fruto da dissertação apresentada ao Programa de Pós-graduação Mestrado Profissional em Enfermagem da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto, para obtenção do título de mestre em tecnologia e inovação em enfermagem, e só foi possível devido ao apoio e suporte dos docentes do programa de Mestrado Profissional, em especial a minha orientadora Marta Cristiane Alves Pereira.

Memórias e trajetórias da educação profissional no Centro Estadual de Educação Tecnológica Paula Souza: a atuação da professora Márcia Regina de Oliveira Poletine
Authors: Constantino Paulo Roberto Prado
Published: October 2023

O texto propõe-se a rememorar a trajetória da professora Márcia Regina de Oliveira Poletine [1955-2021], que atuou durante quase três décadas no Centro Estadual de Educação Tecnológica Paula Souza [CEETEPS ou Centro Paula Souza], em diferentes funções pedagógicas e de administração escolar. Sua notável presença institucional se deveu pela abrangência, pela ética e o profissionalismo demonstrados no período: esteve à frente da supervisão educacional das escolas técnicas estaduais paulistas [Etecs] da região de Presidente Prudente e Marília entre os anos de 2008 e 2021, além de ter sido diretora de Etec por dois mandatos, coordenadora de área e professora desde 1977 no ensino técnico, nas antigas escolas técnicas agrícolas [ETAE]. Deixou uma contribuição ampla e variada para a educação profissional, o que se pretende registrar nestas linhas. Na perspectiva de registrar a memória e a história da educação profissional em São Paulo, o artigo ultrapassa a individualidade, para tomá-la como parte desta memória das instituições escolares. Divide-se em sintetizar os anos de formação profissional da professora Márcia, pontos relevantes de sua trajetória profissional no CEETEPS, além de inventariar toda a produção científica ligada a este percurso. O trabalho assentou-se em princípios metodológicos da História de Vida e da Biografia, mas também no desdobramento de uma pesquisa documental realizada entre os meses de maio e agosto de 2021. Para tal, recorremos às fontes contidas nos acervos escolares abertos, repositórios acadêmicos e no acervo pessoal cedido pela família.

Como as mulheres professoras percebem a construção de sua identidade docente? Um dos primeiros passos para evidenciar essa problemática é trazer a tona essa identidade docente feminina. Neste artigo nos propomos a revelar essa identidade através da narrativa como metodologia de investigação, utilizando a entrevista narrativa como forma de conhecer a identidade docente feminina. Adotamos a técnica de storytelling para contar essa narrativa, através da jornada do herói, técnica que motiva e inspira as pessoas. E ainda, o podcast uma mídia em formato de áudio, que colabora no registro da identidade investigada distribuindo em plataformas virtuais. Desta forma, temos por objetivo descrever o percurso e resultado do processo de elaboração de um Podcast pautado em Storytelling no compartilhamento da Identidade Docente Feminina. Este trabalho resultou em um podcast, disponível na Web, para livre acesso a professores e interessados sobre a identidade docente feminina.
Steven Universo

Published: October 2023

A mediação através de filmes e animações possibilita a aprendizagem, pois a fantasia provoca discussões e produções de saberes e implicações na subjetividade no contexto escolar. Esta pesquisa se norteou através da questão: em que estilo a narrativa audiovisual Steven Universo pode viabilizar implicações subjetivas com vistas à construção de saberes? Tem como objetivo analisar a construção de saberes no sujeito através de narrativas audiovisuais contemporâneas e suas implicações subjetivas. A metodologia é qualitativa; método de análise documental de uma animação (Steven Universo) e como dispositivo de pesquisa a análise fílmica psicanalítica. A categoria principal de análise foi a construção da subjetividade. A pesquisa foi organizada em blocos: (I) Educação e subjetividade(s), estabelecendo que a subjetividade é produção em relação social sendo possível uma educação com vistas à subjetividade na sala de aula; (II) A pós-modernidade, apontando que o sujeito na pós-modernidade se encontra em uma grande sensação de desamparo e ruptura, saídas ao mal estar; e (III) A função da fantasia e as Narrativas audiovisuais contemporâneas, dialogando que a fantasia de narrativas enquanto interface que medeia o sujeito com o real e o auxilia a simbolizar sua vida. Demonstrou-se possível aplicar Steven Universo em sala de aula pois alcança elementos relacionados ao conceito de subjetividade e temas que estão orientados em documentos da educação.
