Predicative possession in the languages of the Circum-Baltic area
Authors: Mazzitelli Lidia Federica
Published: April 2017

This paper deals with the linguistic means used to express predicative possession in the languages of the Circum-Baltic area. The domain of possession is considered here as a prototypically organized domain, where the prototype is the notion of ownership. It is shown that most languages of the area do not provide evidence of splits in their possession systems: rather, they extend the scope of use of their ownership constructions to include all other non-prototypical possessive notions. The linguistic expression of notions that belong to domains neighboring possession, namely experience, location and attribution, is also analyzed. The results show that these notions are rarely coded by means of possessive constructions: exceptions are explained by invoking semantic causes as well as language contact. A comparison of the functions fulfilled by “have”-verbs in the Indo-European languages of the area and by adessive constructions in the Finnic languages is provided, too, and their different scopes of use are explained with reference to their diachronic development and to processes of areal convergence.

The First Iconoclasm in Islam: A New History of the Edict of Yazīd II (AH 104/AD 723)
Authors: Sahner Christian C.
Published: April 2017

This article offers a revised history of the iconoclastic edict of the Umayyad caliph Yazīd II, which was promulgated in 104/723. This edict is often interpreted as a precursor of Byzantine iconoclasm and as a forerunner of the Islamic doctrine of images. Yet this focus on later developments has obscured the law’s original purpose and meaning. This essay attempts to examine the issue anew by analyzing the written and archaeological evidence for the edict. In addition to presenting new sources and a revised dating, it situates Yazīd’s actions in the context of early
Erdbeben in arabischen Gedichten der Ayyūbiden- und Mamlūkenzeit
Authors: Wagner Ewald
Published: April 2017

During the Ayyūbid and Mamlūk eras, several desastrous earthquakes happened in the Near East and in Egypt. These catatrophes met their echo in Arabic poetry. The poets described not only the earthquakes and the devastations they caused. They also mourned the victims and took up the theological aspects of the theme: the omnipotence, justice and mercy of God, the earthquakes as a punishment for sins and as an exhortation to repent. The article exemplifies this with 25 poetical pieces, mostly taken from historical sources as well as from the Dīwān of Usāmah Ibn Munqidh, and points to the rhetorical devices by which some poets adorned their verses.
Tracing a Gypsy Mixed Language through Medieval and Early Modern Arabic and Persian Literature

In this paper I will analyze and trace samples of a tribal dialect that thrived in medieval Islam and has survived into the modern period. It is a mixed language or para-language that takes the form of embedding a substitutive vocabulary into the grammatical structure of other languages and it has historically been spoken within communities of peripatetics and commercial nomads, or
Le temps d’une vie. Une « famille de textes » autour d’Abū Šāma entre VIIe/XIIIe et IXe/XVe siècle
Authors: Roiland Muriel , Sublet Jacqueline
Published: April 2017

At the beginning of the Mamluk period, the Damascene historian Abū Šāma and some of his successors invented a new but somehow short-lived genre of chronicles and biographical dictionaries, focusing on contemporary events and persons. Together with Ibn Rāfiʿ, Ibn Kaṯīr, Ibn Ḥiğğī and Ibn Qāḍī Šuhba, they formed a group of scholars whose texts interacted with each other, one author pursuing the narrative of his predecessor. In this article, we analyze these intertextual relations through the concept of “family of texts”.
Reading tarājim with Bourdieu: prosopographical traces of historical change in the South Asian migration to the late medieval Hijaz
Authors: Bahl Christopher D.
Published: April 2017

This article presents a new analytical reading of one of the most popular genres in medieval Arabic historiography, biographical dictionaries, in order to address broader questions of historical change in transregional movements and scholarly group cultures. It builds on recent scholarship that focuses on shifting trade patterns across the Western Indian Ocean and in particular the intensification of commercial connections between the Red Sea region and South Asia during the 15th century to advance an argument on the sociocultural dimensions of a concomitant migration of South Asians (al-Hindīyūn, sg. al-Hindī) from the subcontinent to the Hijaz. The case study is empirically grounded in the reading of prosopographical sources, biographical entries (

Gołaś, A, Wilk, M, Stastny, P, Maszczyk, A, Pajerska, K, and Zając, A. Optimizing half squat postactivation potential load in squat jump training for eliciting relative maximal power in ski jumpers.J Strength Cond Res31(11): 3010–3017, 2017—Training load manipulation in a single workout session can increase or decrease training effectiveness in terms of athletes' strength or power gains. In ski jumping, the complex training that elicits maximal power gains may take advantage of the postactivation potentiation (PAP) mechanism. The aim of this research was to evaluate the changes in rate of force development (RFD), rate of power development (RPD), and jump height during a complex training session consisted of the barbell half squat (Sq) as a conditioning exercise with loads ranged between 60 and 100% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM), followed by a body weight squat jump (SqJ) as a performance task. The study was conducted with 16 elite athletes from the Polish National Ski Jumping Team, age 23 ± 8 years, body mass 56 ± 9 kg, and height 172 ± 12 cm. Complex training session started with the Sq at 60% of 1RM as the conditioning exercise, followed by 3 minutes of rest and the SqJ. The conditioning barbell half Sq was performed with 70, 80, 90, and 100% of 1RM with 5 minutes of rest. The differences in RFD occurred between an SqJ following the application of 80% of 1RM and all other SqJs (p= 0.01), and in RPD between SqJ without conditioning, SqJ after 60% of 1RM and 80% of 1RM (p= 0.02). On average, the most effective load in inducing PAP during ski jumpers' SqJ training is 80% of 1RM. The intensity of the conditioning exercise that elicits the greatest PAP effect should be individualized (60–100% 1RM), as it is dependent on the level of maximal strength.
Perineurial Glial Plasticity and the Role of TGF-β in the Development of the Blood–Nerve Barrier
Authors: Morris Angela D. , Lewis Gwendolyn M. , Kucenas Sarah
Published: April 2017

Precisely orchestrated interactions between spinal motor axons and their ensheathing glia are vital for forming and maintaining functional spinal motor nerves. Following perturbations to peripheral myelinating glial cells, centrally derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) ectopically exit the spinal cord and myelinate peripheral nerves in myelin with CNS characteristics. However, whether remaining peripheral ensheathing glia, such as perineurial glia, properly encase the motor nerve despite this change in glial cell and myelin composition, remains unknown. Using zebrafish mutants in which OPCs migrate out of the spinal cord and myelinate peripheral motor axons, we assayed perineurial glial development, maturation, and response to injury. Surprisingly, in the presence of OPCs, perineurial glia exited the CNS normally. However, aspects of their development, response to injury, and function were altered compared with wildtype larvae. In an effort to better understand the plasticity of perineurial glia in response to myelin perturbations, we identified transforming growth factor-β1 as a partial mediator of perineurial glial development. Together, these results demonstrate the incredible plasticity of perineurial glia in the presence of myelin perturbations.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPeripheral neuropathies can result from damage or dysregulation of the insulating myelin sheath surrounding spinal motor axons, causing pain, inefficient nerve conduction, and the ectopic migration of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), the resident myelinating glial cell of the CNS, into the periphery. How perineurial glia, the ensheathing cells that form the protective blood–nerve barrier, are impacted by this myelin composition change is unknown. Here, we report that certain aspects of perineurial glial development and injury responses are mostly unaffected in the presence of ectopic OPCs. However, perineurial glial function is disrupted along nerves containing centrally derived myelin, demonstrating that, although perineurial glial cells display plasticity despite myelin perturbations, the blood–nerve barrier is compromised in the presence of ectopic OPCs.
Romantic Red: Testing the Characteristics of Color–Attraction Effects in a Novel Paradigm
Authors: Williams Lisa A. , Schofield Timothy P. , Whitford Thomas J.
Published: April 2017

The red-attraction effect refers to the finding that the color red enhances attractiveness ratings of targets, and is most robustly observed when males rate females. Three previously unexplored aspects of color-attraction effects were tested in a single experiment with a large sample size (N = 778). The effect of exposure to a color and the impact of pairing a color with a target were disentangled using a novel design. Moreover, we tested the proposition that color exerts its effects outside of awareness by examining the association of conscious awareness of color-target pairing with the red-attraction effect. Both prior exposure to red and pairing of red with a target influenced attractiveness ratings, but not always in the direction of increased attractiveness. Results also varied as a function of target and participant sex. However, when conscious awareness of target-color pairing was higher, results converged with the typically-observed red-attraction effect among males rating females.
Cigarette Smoke Induces Colorectal Carcinogenesis in Wistar Rats by Decreasing The Expression of APC, MSH2 and MLH1

Published: April 2017

Colorectal carcinogenesis induced by cigarette smoke requires at least 30-40 years. This long time duration causes an animal research conducted becomes relevant. This research was carried out to observe colorectal carcinogenesis due to cigarette smoke exposure in Wistar Rat. The observations focused on changes in epithelial morphology and expression of APC, MSH2 and MLH1. Twenty male Wistar rats inbreed strain were randomly allocated into control group and experimental group exposure to cigarettes smoke for 14 weeks and 28 weeks sequentially.  Colorectal epithelial morphology was assessed on the histopathology examination, whereas the expression of APC, MSH2 and MLH1 was assessed on aspect of immunohistochemistry. The comparative analysis between the two groups was performed using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. Histology of colorectal epithelium showed pattern of colitis associated cancer that was significant both in 14 weeks and 28 weeks of treatment.  This research indicated negative expression of APC, MSH2 and MLH1 in the colorectal cancer that were significant at 28 weeks of exposure. This research implies that chronic exposure to cigarette smoke can induce colitis associated colorectal cancer through decreased expression of APC, MSH2 and MLH1.

Published: April 2017

Abstract:

Introduction: In their previous work, the authors reported findings from 30 years on the incidence of hematological malignancies in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, Hungary. Until now there are no other studies on this topic available in Hungary. Aim: Detailed analysis of epidemiologic features of patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders was carried out. Method: During a 33-year period (between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 2015) 4523 adult patients with hematologic malignancies were recorded in the leukaemia/lymphoma registry of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county. Among them, 255 patients with polycytaemia vera, 102 with primary myelofibrosis, and 331 with essential thrombocytaemia were registered. Results: The incidence of polycythaemia vera and essential thrombocythaemia in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county showed an increasing tendency, with an overall incidence rate of 1.35 and 1.75/100 000 inhabitants/year, respectively; while the incidence of primary myelofibrosis decreased in the course of years (0.54/100 000 inhabitants/year). In cases of polycythaemia vera and primary myelofibrosis the male:female ratio was found to be equal, however essential thrombocythaemia showed a female dominance. The mean age of patients with polycythaemia vera was 65 (21–95) years, similar to essential thrombocythaemia with 65 (19–85) years, and to primary myelofibrosis with 65.5 (33–84) years. There were only two villages found in this county where the occurrence of patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders per one thousand inhabitants was significantly higher, than the average (1.22). In every familial cases of these, the manifestation of the disease in the second and the third generations became earlier than in the first genetration. The perceived average degree of the anteposition (anticipation) was found to be 22 years. Conclusion: The epidemiologic features of Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county are essentially similar to data published in the literature. Orv.

A critical survey of museum collections of popular music in the United Kingdom
Authors: Knifton Robert , Leonard Marion
Published: April 2017

Drawing on an extensive nationwide survey of UK museum practice and interviews with museum professionals, this article documents and reflects on the increasing prevalence of popular music within museum collections. It argues for the significance of developing popular music as a museum subject, placing into context the differing ways in which museums have defined ‘popular music’ on an institutional basis, reflecting the history and context of the organizations themselves. The nature of popular music objects collected are analysed, with the classificatory systems into which they are inserted discussed and collecting motivations examined. Key museological issues affecting the collection of popular music material such as collection care, suitability for display, difficulty of acquisition, and ease of storage are addressed. Limiting factors such as the absence of popular music from many museum collecting policies and the perception that the museum is not the natural home of popular music are viewed as specific inhibiting factors in the growth of popular music as a museum subject; however the fact that popular music continues to develop within UK museums demonstrates shifting perceptions of cultural heritage and developing practices of contemporary collecting.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the family dynamics in face of the reality of the elderly living alone. Method: study of qualitative approach with theoretical reference of symbolic interactionism that involved interviews with families. Data were analyzed by thematic analysis. Results: six families participated in the study. The discourse analysis originated the following categories: The family respecting their decision making; The family organizing itself to the process of living alone after the age of 80 years; The family experiencing the freedom of living alone. Conclusion: in this study, it was possible to identify the facilitation of the possibility of living alone with preparation and agreements between the family during the family life cycle, leading to the feeling of freedom and quality of life of all members. Nursing, as a science responsible for elaborating care strategies, should work together with families to assist in the planning of care plans based on the individual social reality of the family.
PRESSÃO ARTERIAL EM FUNÇÃO DO SEXO, IDADE E LARGURA DO MANGUITO

Published: April 2017

Neste estudo medidas indiretas da pressão arterial foram comparadas, usando-se manguito de largura correta versus o de largura padrão, em 1000 pessoas. O manguito de largura correta, apropriada à circunferência do braço, foi escolhido segundo as recomendações da American Heart Association. Os resultados evidenciaram inadequação do manguito padrão na população estudada, tomando-se excessivamente largo na maioria dos braços; resultando em importante hipoestimação dos valores de pressão arterial, sobretudo nos adultos jovens, sexo feminino, e magros. Tais achados levantam a hipótese de que o uso do manguito padrão possa prejudicar o diagnóstico precoce da hipertensão arterial.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to assess systemic and neurotoxic changes following an epidural administration of meloxicamin to rabbits. Twelve adult rabbits four males and eight females; average mass, 1.9 ± 0.1kg were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (GC), which received a single dose of 0.9% NaCl epidurally in a volume of 0.3mL kg-1and a meloxicam group (GM), which received 0.2mg kg-1 meloxicam epidurally along with 0.9% NaCl in a total volume of 0.3mL kg-1. Heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and neurological abnormalities were assessed prior to administration of anesthesia (H0), 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24h following epidural puncture (H1, H2, H3, H6, H12, and H24, respectively), and every 24h afterward for 10 days after epidural puncture (D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, and D10). The surface temperature of lumbosacral region was also measured at H0, H1, H6, H12, H24, D5 and D10. Three animals from each group were euthanized on days 15 and 30 after epidural puncture to assess possible spinal injuries. Variances observed in physiological parameters were not suggestive of adverse effects of meloxicam, as all were within the reference standards, and there were no physical or behavioral changes observed. Neurological function was similar between groups, with only difference between baseline values and values 1h after epidural administration in both groups. There were no histopathological changes in the GM group, and only one animal showed discrete lymphocytic infiltrate. Epidural lumbosacral administration of meloxicam at a dose of 0.2mg kg-1 caused no significant systemic or neurotoxic effects in rabbits.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to assess heart rate variability (HRV) in Boxer dogs affected by arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Fourteen Boxer dogs classified as affected and 28 classified as unaffected were included in a prospective case-control study. Dogs underwent 24-hour ambulatory ECG and were classified as affected (>1,000 VPCs/24 hours) or unaffected (<20 VPCs/24 hours) by ARVC based on the number of ventricular arrhythmias. HRV was assessed using 24-h Holter ECG monitoring; the studied parameters were SDNN, SDANN, SDNNIDX, rMSSD and pNN50. Data were submitted to logarithmic transformation and HRV parameters were compared between groups and correlated according to the disease status, number and severity of ventricular arrhythmias using Student’s t test, linear regression and Spearman’s test. There was no interaction between the HRV parameters and the number and severity of ventricular arrhythmias. SDNNlog (2.35±0.14 vs. 2.46±0.12, P=0.01), SDNNIDXlog (2.18±0.14 vs. 2.24±0.10, P=0.002) and pNN50log (1.47±0.19 vs. 1.64±0.13, P=0.002) were significantly lower in the affected group compared with the unaffected. According to this study, HRV are different in a population of Boxers dogs affected by ARVC compared to a population of unaffected dogs, and these differences are not consequences of low cardiac output caused by ventricular arrhythmias since animals that had higher number and complexity of arrhythmias were not those who had lower values of HRV.

Published: April 2017

Resumo Objetivo Investigar os fatores associados à falta de alimentação diversificada no segundo semestre de vida, pois a Organização Mundial da Saúde preconiza a introdução de alimentos variados complementares ao leite materno a partir dos 6 meses. Métodos Foram entrevistadas acompanhantes de 580 crianças que compareceram à Campanha de Vacinação de 2006 em município urbano da região Sudeste do Brasil. O desfecho “alimentação não diversificada” correspondeu à ingestão de menos de cinco grupos de alimentos (carnes, leite, frutas, legumes e feijão) nas últimas 24 horas. As variáveis associadas ao desfecho (p≤0,20) na análise bivariada foram selecionadas para análise multivariada. Razões de prevalência ajustadas foram obtidas pelo modelo de regressão de Poisson (p≤0,05). Resultados Do total, 64,5% das crianças não recebiam alimentos diversificados. Na análise múltipla, a criança não estar acompanhada pela mãe (RP=1,170) e a internação prévia (RP=1,214) foram fatores diretamente associados à falta de diversidade alimentar. O nascimento em hospital privado (RP=0,816) e a idade da criança crescente em dias (RP=0,997) se associaram inversamente ao desfecho. Conclusões Apesar de sua importância para a nutrição infantil, a alimentação diversificada no segundo semestre de vida vem sendo pouco praticada. Os fatores associados identificados devem ser considerados no âmbito das políticas públicas de nutrição e de saúde.

ABSTRACT Objective: determine the prevalence of Effective Universal Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 in Chile and its relation with the variables: Health Care Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2; Average of diabetics with metabolic control in 2011-2013; Mortality Rate for Diabetes Mellitus; and Percentage of nurses participating in the Cardiovascular Health Program. Method: cross-sectional descriptive study with ecological components that uses documentary sources of the Ministry of Health. It was established that there is correlation between the Universal Effective Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and the independent variables; it was applied the Pearson Coefficient, being significant at the 0.05 level. Results: in Chile Universal Health Care Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (HbA1c<7% estimated population) is less than 20%; this is related with Mortality Rate for Diabetes Mellitus and Percentage of nurses participating in the Cardiovascular Health Program, being significant at the 0.01 level. Conclusion: effective prevalence of Universal Health Coverage of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is low, even though some regions stand out in this research and in the metabolic control of patients who participate in health control program; its relation with percentage of nurses participating in the Cardiovascular Health Program represents a challenge and an opportunity for the health system.

Além disso, permitiu afirmar que parte das relações sociais estabelecidas no contexto das RTs se insere no campo das relações intergrupais, relacionadas aos processos de constituição de identidade social. Tais relações se efetivam a partir de discursos de diferenciação intergrupal e conduzem a comportamentos de controle sobre os moradores das RTs.
Generic additions to the Rapateaceae of Rondônia, Brazil
Authors: RODRIGUES Rodrigo Schütz
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT Rapateaceae is a monocot family centered in the Guiana Shield region of South America. This article reports four generic additions to the Rapateaceae of Rondônia, a state in northern Brazil. Cephalostemon gracilis (Poepp. & Endl.) R.H.Schomb., Duckea cyperaceoidea (Ducke) Maguire, Monotrema xyridoides Gleason, and Schoenocephalium cucullatum Maguire were recorded in lowland savannas and open white-sand ecosystems in the state. These findings extend significantly the known diversity of the Rapateaceae taxa occurring in Rondônia, and represent an extension of their geographical distribution to a Brazilian state with no part of its territory in the Guiana Shield.

ABSTRACT The hematological and biochemical responses of pirarucu fingerlings (Arapaima gigas) fed with diets containing different concentrations of a glucomannan product derived from yeast and algae were evaluated in order to ascertain the effect of these diets on fish physiology. Four treatments were conducted, with three replications, with 12 fish in each tank. The product evaluated (MycosorbA+(r)) was incorporated into the commercial diet, at four concentrations: 0, 1, 2 and 4 g.kg-1, called M0%, M0.1%, M0.2% and M0.4%, respectively. After 45 days of feeding, blood samples from six fish in each replicate were collected to perform the analyses. Their weight and length were determined to calculate the condition factor and weight gain, but no differences (P > 0.05) were observed among the treatments. No changes to the hematocrit, hemoglobin or erythrocyte levels or to the hematimetric indices of the pirarucus were observed. The glucose and triglyceride levels of the pirarucus in the M0.1% and M0.2% groups were significantly lower than those of the M0% group. The M0.2% group showed higher albumin levels (P < 0.05) than M0% and M0.4%. The M0.4% group showed a total cholesterol level that was significantly higher than in all other treatments. MycosorbA+(r) contributed towards increasing the levels of defense cells in A. gigas. It would be possible to use this product at concentrations of between 0.1% and 0.2%, given that they increase the levels of some defense cells and plasma albumin concentrations, without changes to hematological parameters, cholesterol and triglyceride plasma levels or condition factor.

ABSTRACT The identification of the prevalence of cognitive impairment and associated factors among older adults is important in countries facing rapid demographic transition, given the significant implications for public policy and health planning. Objective: To determine the prevalence of functional cognitive impairment (FCI) and associated factors in Brazilian community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 461 elderly subjects residing in Fortaleza city, Ceará was conducted. Cognitive assessment was performed using three tests: the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination), VF (Verbal Fluency) and CT (Clock Test). The functional capacity evaluation was based on a survey of 21 basic and instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs). Cognitive impairment was defined by MMSE cut-off points adjusted for literacy. Functional impairment was defined as dependency to carry out more than four ADLs. Results: The prevalence of FCI was 13.64% (95% CI: 10.33 to 16.64%). FCI was proportionally associated with age with OR=2.24 (95% CI: 1.04 to 4.79) for individuals aged 70 to 79 years and OR=8.27 (95 % CI: 4.27 to 16.4) for those aged 80 to 100 years. FCI was associated with self-reported diseases including hypertension OR=2.06 (95% CI: 1.17 to 3.65), stroke OR=2.88 (95% CI: 1.66 to 5.00) and acute myocardial infarction OR=2.94 (95% CI: 1.59 to 5.42). The occurrence of FCI was proportionally correlated with the number of drugs used. Conclusion: Functional cognitive impairment is a prevalent condition in Brazilian community-dwelling older adults and its occurrence is associated with age, number of drugs used, and vascular morbidities.
A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE CREATIVE ECONOMY IN BRAZIL
Authors: Britto Jorge Nogueira de Paiva
Published: April 2017

Abstract In a knowledge-based economy, initiatives based on the Creative Economy framework are supposed to promote regional economic diversification in developing countries. In Brazil, policy initiatives have focused on those activities with a view to design public policies oriented to reducing socio-economic and regional inequalities, as well as spreading those activities throughout the territory, especially towards less favored regions. Based on the Brazilian experience, this article discusses whether the pre-existing regional distribution of various types of creative activities favors or hinders the reduction of regional inequalities as a result of a policy focused on promoting creative activities and what actions could be adopted to achieve this result. Specifically, the paper discusses whether this expansion can promote an effective reduction of regional inequalities in terms of the number and quality of jobs and wage levels associated with those activities. The analysis suggests that the regional decentralization of creative activities towards less developed regions has been relatively limited in Brazil, as the more developed regions have remained more specialized in trades with higher digital and technological content, while the less developed regions have remained relatively more specialized in activities related to the cultural heritage. To reduce this imbalance, the support of local institutions and S&T infrastructure related to creative activities appears to be very important, which points out to the relevance of comprehensive policies well-adapted to very diverse local realities. This effort should have the impact of new digital-based technologies converge with the strengthening of economic potential of local and regional cultural heritage, by enhancing professional qualification of workers devoted to those activities.

Lentibulariaceae do Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Brasil
Authors: Freitas Hugo Dolsan de , Baleeiro Paulo Cesar , Trovó Marcelo
Published: April 2017

Resumo Lentibulariaceae é cosmopolita e possui três gêneros, Genlisea, Pinguicula e Utricularia, com cerca de 29, 100 e 220 espécies, respectivamente. O Parque Nacional do Itatiaia possui relevo bastante acidentado, onde encontram-se muitas nascentes de rios, lagos e uma grande diversidade de bromélias. Assim, sua vegetação e seus ambientes são habitats propícios para a ocorrência de espécies de Lentibulariaceae. Os estudos sobre estas espécies no local são, todavia, escassos e restritos a antigas listagens de espécies. Apresentamos aqui o tratamento florístico completo para as Lentibulariaceae do Parque Nacional do Itatiaia. Foram registradas oito espécies, todas pertencentes ao gênero Utricularia. As espécies foram encontradas ocorrendo em corpos d'água da parte alta do parque, sendo que somente U. reniformis ocorre também nos riachos da parte baixa do parque. É apresentada uma chave de identificação para as espécies ocorrentes, além de descrições detalhadas de cada espécie, comentários e fotografias.

Published: April 2017

RESUMO A avaliação integrada dos atributos físicos, estoque de carbono (EstC) e de nitrogênio (EstN) além da abundância natural de δ13C do solo se mostram eficazes na detecção de mudanças ocorridas na paisagem. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar e comparar a densidade do solo, EstC, EstN e abundância natural de δ13C em perfis de solo de diferentes fitofisionomias da Estação Ecológica de Pirapitinga – EEP visando elucidar as mudanças ocorridas nesse ambiente. Para isso, foram coletadas e analisadas amostras de terra em profundidade de até um metro nas diferentes fitofisionomias da EEP. Os maiores teores de argila do solo e densidade de plantas das fitofisionomias florestais proveram maiores EstC e EstN e menores valores de densidade do solo em comparação às demais vegetações campestres. O δ13C revelou que as áreas das fitofisionomias florestais eram antes ocupadas preponderantemente por plantas do ciclo fotossintético C4, semelhantes à vegetação campestre encontrada atualmente na EEP.
Fenologia Vegetativa e Crescimento de Cedrela fissilis na Floresta Atlântica, Paraná, Brasil

Published: April 2017

RESUMO A fenologia, o incremento em circunferência do tronco e a atividade cambial de indivíduos de Cedrela fissilis (Meliaceae) foram observados mensalmente em duas tipologias de Floresta Ombrófila (Densa e Mista) na Floresta Atlântica, Estado do Paraná, Brasil. As observações se deram por meio do método de índice de atividade, leitura de incremento em circunferência do tronco com o uso de dendrômetros permanentes e amostragens periódicas de tecido cambial de 24 árvores da espécie. O ritmo de incremento observado é sazonal, iniciando-se após a expansão total do limbo e interrompendo-se quando as folhas maduras estão em senescência adiantada e/ou em sua ausência. Análises estatísticas mostraram relações significativas entre incremento, variáveis climáticas e fenologia. A espécie apresenta formação de anéis anuais de crescimento, sendo observadas flutuações anatômicas intra-anuais. Os resultados indicam que a fenologia vegetativa dos indivíduos parece ser influenciada mais fortemente pelo fotoperíodo e temperatura do que pela precipitação.

Abstract: Rapid tests have been essential to evaluate the physiological potential of seeds and the tetrazolium test is one of those which have been used by seed companies. The objective of the study was to establish the procedure for the tetrazolium test in Libidibia ferrea (Mart. Ex Tul.) L.P. Queiroz var. ferrea seeds. For this, three tetrazolium solution concentrations (0.05, 0.075 and 0.1%) and three staining periods (1, 3 and 6 hours) at temperatures of 35 to 40 °C were tested. The seeds were also evaluated by the germination test, whose result was compared with viability by the tetrazolium test. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial design 3 x 3 + 1 (three concentrations x three periods + a control = germination test) for each temperature. Viable seeds in the tetrazolium test were compared by Tukey’s test (p ≤ 0.05), while the comparison between the viable seeds with germination test was carried out by Dunnett’s test (p ≤ 0.05). It is recommended that the tetrazolium test for L. ferrea is carried out at a concentration of 0.05% for three-hour staining under 35 °C or 40 °C.
