The demand for global integration in the public sector leads to the accountability of State finances. By examination, supervision, which is the cornerstone of the government's economic performance clarification. This has become important in the public sector as well as in the private sector. Such circumstances spur employees in the scope of their organization to improve the effectiveness of its performance so as to ensure the survival of the organization. Once the importance of an oversight, in Indonesia have internal and external controls on the public sector for the effectiveness of the performance of government officials can be achieved. This study aimed to analyze the influence of Independence, roles stress and burnout on the effectiveness of the task of Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) as an internal auditor. The population in this study were all BPKP auditors in Central Java, the technique of sampling using random sampling and the sample size used in this study were 64 auditors. Methods of data collection using questionnaires and interviews, while the method of data analysis using multiple regression analysis.

La moda como artesanía
Authors: López Galeano Andrés
Published: December 2018

¿Qué son los diseñadores de moda?, ¿son patronistas, confeccionadores, lectores de tendencias, quizás artistas? Para una comprensión sobre este asunto se indagará en el concepto de arte a través del sistema clasificatorio del sociólogo Howard Becker, publicado en su libro Art Worlds o Mundos del arte (1984, pág. 84). El autor categoriza a los artistas en tres grupos: artesanos, artistas-artesanos y artistas. Becker define a los artistas como aquellos hacedores de objetos que son únicos y pueden no ser útiles, ni siquiera bellos; los artesanos, producen objetos que tienen primordialmente un uso y valor, y los artistas – artesanos, buscan tanto la belleza y la elegancia, como la utilidad. La moda puede ser arte, artesanía, o una combinación de ambas, pero su potencial es reducido al colgarlo en el clóset en lugar de estar en una galería de arte o en un museo (Becker, 1984).

The accuracy of undergraduate paramedic students in measuring blood pressure: A pilot study
Authors: Boyle Malcolm , Williams Brett , Sawyer Simon
Published: December 2018

IntroductionMeasurement of a blood pressure (BP) in the prehospital setting is one of many basic skills required of a paramedic.  Assessment of BP is also one of several clinical measures that determines the patient’s treatment and possibly the receiving hospital. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of undergraduate paramedic students in taking a BP in a non-clinical setting.MethodsThis was a prospective observational study using the Laerdal VitalSim mannequin with the BP volume and strength set at mid range values to test the accuracy of BP measurement.  There were 62 third year Monash University paramedic students available for the study.  We used three different BP ranges, a low, normal and high BP.  Each student was randomly assigned the first and second BP by using a random number table.  Each student was permitted one practice BP prior to the study data collection commencing.  Ethics approval was granted.ResultsA convenience sample of 26 (42%) third year undergraduate paramedic students participated.  69% were female, with 46% being between 21 and 25 years of age.  Two students, nurses, had previous BP measurement experience.  There were six, four and four students who accurately measured the high, normal and low BP respectively.  There was a statistical significant difference between the actual and student measured BP for the high systolic BP (p=0.004), normal systolic BP (p=0.023), and low systolic (p=0.019) and diastolic (p=0.004) BP.ConclusionThis pilot study has highlighted that third year Monash University paramedic student’s lack BP measurement accuracy in a non-clinical setting.  This pilot study has highlighted the need for a review of how the teaching of BP measurement is undertaken within the curriculum.

Authors: Rotheram Auston , Harris Wayne , Curtain Colin , Nihill David
Published: December 2018

Serotonin toxicity, or serotonin syndrome, is a potentially life threatening adverse reaction to the use of one or more serotonergic drugs. Patients presenting with low level obscure symptoms may have pathophysiology rooted in adverse dopamine and serotonergic poly-pharmacy reactions involving illegal, over-the-counter and/or prescription drugs. In this clinical information paper an overview of serotonin toxicity, diagnostic criteria, and management strategies will be offered. Cultivating a high index of suspicion for serotonin toxicity across a broad patient demographic is recommended
Democracia
Authors: De Medeiros Ivanildo Bezerra
Published: December 2018

Understanding the concept of democracy in its totality today is a rather complex task, given the dimensions and variation of political societies. Revisiting the theoretical thinking of the ancients may be an interesting exercise for comparative examination of what and how Aristotelian thought is present in the modern conception of democracy. The result of this comparative exercise points to the existence of a strong analogy between the old and modern conception of democracy as a mode of government for a political society.
Paul Otlet and Nikolas Rubakin: Creative commonwealth
Authors: Stolyarov Yu. N.
Published: December 2018

On the occasion of 150-th anniversary of Paul Otlet, a prominent documentologist and foreteller of the Internet (1868–1944, Belgium), the author tracks his contacts with another prominent figure, Nikolas Rubakin (1862–1946), Russian founder of bibliopsychology, library scientist, bibliographer, publisher, the author of a dozen of popular books. Paul Otlet took part in creating the Institute of Bibliopsychology headed by N. Rubakin, and Rubakin, in his turn, contributed to the preservation of multimillion collection of bibliographic cards and books that made the major document resource of the International Bibliographic Institute established and headed by P. Otlet. The author demonstrates their shared understanding of the key concepts related to the document and the book, bibliopsychology, propagandology, ideas of the fair world order. For the first time, Rubakin’s response to the last Otlet’s monograph («Monde: essai d’universalisme: connaissance du monde, sentiment du monde, action organisée et plan du monde») (1935) is discussed.

The article is based mainly on archival materials; some fact data are published for the first time ever.
A Multi-Level Collaborative and Cooperative Writing Class in Inducing Character Building (A Model of An Integration Between Teaching Writing and Character Education)
Authors: ROHADI TEDI
Published: December 2018

Character education should not plainly implicate socially-authorize pattern for such character as honesty and perseverance, but also and perhaps more importantly it should provide the ways in which the students believe of their own conception selves, and their essential qualities that will back the actualization of those selves. This conceit may require a more personalized or less formulaic appropriate to inscribe instruction, but the compensation of such transformations   of instructive goals and methods might well be the revitalization of democratic society in Indonesia. Taking that into account, a multi-level collaborative and cooperative writing class,  in a more specific context and scope, classroom practices, provides one of breakthroughs toward this direction. This model of writing class is either implicitly or explicitly integrated  with character education. The paper is a report of a research and development. Theories and concepts supporting the study will initiate the paper. The next part of the paper will explore the so called
The effects of an empathy role-playing program for operating room nursing students in Iran
Authors: Larti Negin , Ashouri Elaheh , Aarabi Akram
Published: December 2018

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a role-playing training program conducted among operating room nursing students on empathetic communication with patients through measurements of empathy scores.Methods: This study was carried out among 77 operating room nursing students from the first to the fourth years studying at the School of Nursing and Midwifery of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2017–2018. The intervention administered to the experimental group included a 12-hour training program on expressing empathy to patients that incorporated roleplaying. The Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Profession Student version was completed by the participants before, immediately after, and 1 month after the intervention. A comparative analysis of these 3 time points was conducted.Results: No significant difference was found in the total pre-intervention mean empathy scores before the intervention between the control group and the experimental group (P= 0.50). However, the total mean empathy scores in the experimental group immediately after and 1 month after the intervention were higher than those in the control group (P< 0.001).Conclusion: Empathy training through a role-playing technique was effective at improving the empathy scores of operating room nursing students, and this finding also underscores the fact that empathy can be promoted by education. Changing the educational curriculum of operating room nursing students is suggested in order to familiarize them with the concept of empathy in the operating room.

Genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) was employed to construct a highly saturated genetic linkage map of a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, derived from a cross between cultivar NC EBR‐1 and the wild tomato S. pimpinellifolium L. accession LA2093. A pipeline was developed to convert single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data into genomic bins, which could be used for fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and identification of candidate genes. The pipeline, implemented in a python script named SNPbinner, adopts a hidden Markov model approach for calculation of recombination breakpoints followed by genomic bins construction. The total length of the newly developed high‐resolution genetic map was 1.2‐fold larger than previously estimated based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–based markers. The map was used to verify and refine QTL previously identified for two fruit quality traits in the RIL population, fruit weight (FW) and fruit lycopene content (LYC). Two well‐described FW QTL (fw2.2 and fw3.2) were localized precisely at their known underlying causative genes, and the QTL intervals were decreased by two‐ to tenfold. A major QTL for LYC content (Lyc12.1) was verified at high resolution and its underlying causative gene was determined to be ζ‐carotene isomerase (SlZISO). The RIL population, the high resolution genetic map, and the easy‐to‐use genotyping pipeline, SNPbinner, are made publicly available.
Qui se sent pauvre en France ?
Authors: Duvoux Nicolas , Papuchon Adrien
Published: December 2018

Résumé La pauvreté fait l’objet de définitions et de mesures diverses, fondées soit sur le niveau de vie, sur les conditions de vie ou l’instauration d’une relation d’assistance avec l’État. Menée à l’aide du Baromètre d’opinion de la DREES , l’étude du groupe formé par les personnes qui se déclarent pauvres et des déterminants de cette façon de percevoir sa propre position sociale met en évidence l’importance de l’éloignement du marché du travail, du fait de bénéficier d’une prestation d’assistance mais également la prégnance de la position de classe. Elle invite donc à articuler des littératures qui ont suivi des voies sociologiques propres, mais qui ont toutefois en commun d’aborder les catégories sociales dites subalternes ou populaires et en situation d’assistance. En s’appuyant sur l’articulation et les discordances entre les dimensions monétaires et subjectives de la pauvreté, l’analyse fait ressortir la vulnérabilité des personnes seules et plus encore des parents isolés ainsi que l’importance du statut d’occupation du logement, en particulier chez les retraités. Finalement, la pauvreté subjective se comprend sociologiquement comme un indicateur d’insécurité sociale durable, associée à un surcroit de pessimisme envers l’avenir. Elle manifeste l’évolution de la pauvreté dans le cadre d’un régime de crise permanente et contribue à rendre compte de la dynamique contemporaine des positions inférieures de la structure sociale ainsi qu’à articuler les dimensions subjectives et objectives de celle-ci.

Published: December 2018

Este artículo presenta los trabajos realizados en el yacimiento de la Balma de la Vall (Montblanc, Tarragona). Las primeras excavaciones, a inicios de los 1980, identificaron distintos niveles de ocupación humana relacionados con el Paleolítico superior final. Entre los años 2011-2013 la excavación se reemprendió con los objetivos de definir la sucesión arqueo-estratigráfica, obtener dataciones absolutas, y caracterizar el tipo de ocupaciones que generaron los conjuntos arqueológicos. De esta forma, hemos identificado una secuencia que comprende tres niveles arqueológicos, con dataciones que los asocian al XV milenio cal BP, y por tanto al Magdaleniense superior final. Los análisis de las materias primas líticas empleadas, la composición de los conjuntos y las secuencias de reducción permiten definir las ocupaciones como cortas o de baja intensidad. La Balma de la Vall constituye así una de las primeras evidencias de ocupación humana de la Cordillera Prelitoral Catalana.
Modelando dinámicas de movilidad y visibilidad en los paisajes megalíticos gallegos. El caso del Monte de Santa Mariña y su entorno (Comarca de Sarria, Lugo)
Authors: Carrero-Pazos Miguel
Published: December 2018

Se propone un estudio de dos formas tradicionales de entender la relación del megalito con el paisaje, como son la movilidad natural por el territorio y la visibilidad del monumento con respecto al paisaje en el que se emplaza. Para ello, se aplican una serie de análisis fundamentados en los Sistemas de Información Geográfica y la Estadística Espacial sobre el conjunto tumular del Monte de Santa Mariña (Comarca de Sarria, Lugo) y su entorno (NO de la Península Ibérica). Partiendo de la creación de un modelo de simulación de desplazamiento natural y del estudio de la visibilidad de dicho conjunto, se comprueba, en primer lugar, la importancia de las vías potenciales de tránsito como variable locacional, así como el impacto visual que los monumentos juegan en relación con estas vías. A continuación, se analiza la prominencia visual de los túmulos megalíticos con respecto a su entorno inmediato, pudiéndose identificar la existencia de tendencias comunes en los distintos conjuntos tumulares en relación con el tamaño de las cuencas visuales. Los resultados sugieren una importante relación entre los túmulos y el tránsito natural por el territorio, si bien se detectan tendencias desiguales en lo que al impacto visual del megalito se refiere, tanto con respecto a la relación con otros túmulos como a la totalidad del territorio en el que se emplazan. Ello permite establecer un punto de partida necesario para la revisión de los planteamientos teóricos formulados para el conjunto de Galicia.
Diversidad de cultivos y estructuras de almacenaje en el poblado de Crastoeiro (Noroeste de la Península Ibérica): nuevos enfoques

Published: December 2018

El yacimiento de la Edad del Hierro de Crastoeiro (Mondim de Basto, Vila Real, Norte de Portugal) reveló un interesante conjunto de fosas excavadas en la roca. De su interior se recogieron muestras de sedimento y se realizó un estudio carpológico con el objetivo de obtener información sobre la diversidad de cultivos y prácticas agrícolas y de caracterizar las estructuras de almacenamiento. Los resultados del estudio de 19 muestras procedentes de 4 fosas son relevantes para la comprensión de la agricultura y las prácticas de almacenaje en el Crastoeiro. La espelta (Triticum spelta) fue el cultivo predominante en el interior de las fosas estudiadas. La presencia de espiguillas sugiere que el grano se almacenó parcialmente procesado, o bien se trató de una estrategia que permitía un almacenaje a largo plazo. Se han encontrado otros cereales, entre ellos, el mijo (Panicum miliaceum), la cebada vestida (Hordeum vulgare), el centeno (Secale cereale) y el panizo (Setaria italica). Fechas de radiocarbono a partir de granos de centeno mostraron que éstos son los más antiguos de la Península Ibérica, lo que sugiere que el centeno se introdujo en la región hacia el final de la Edad del Hierro, en el marco de los primeros contactos con los romanos. Desde una perspectiva regional los resultados obtenidos en el yacimiento de Crastoeiro se corresponden con el uso de cultivos poco exigentes, bien adaptados a entornos adversos, incluyendo los climas fríos y suelos pobres.

A 17 year climatology of the macrophysical properties of convection in Darwin
Authors: Jackson Robert C. , Collis Scott M. , Louf Valentin , Protat Alain , Majewski Leon
Published: December 2018

Abstract. The validation of convective processes in global climate models (GCMs) could
benefit from the use of large datasets that provide long-term climatologies
of the spatial statistics of convection. To that regard, echo top heights
(ETHs), convective areas, and frequencies of mesoscale convective systems
(MCSs) from 17 years of data from a C-band polarization (CPOL) radar are
analyzed in varying phases of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) and
northern Australian monsoon in order to provide ample validation statistics
for GCM validation. The ETHs calculated using velocity texture and
reflectivity provide similar results, showing that the ETHs are insensitive
to various techniques that can be used. Retrieved ETHs are correlated with
those from cloud top heights retrieved by Multifunctional Transport
Satellites (MTSATs), showing that the ETHs capture the relative variability
in cloud top heights over seasonal scales. Bimodal distributions of ETH, likely attributable to the cumulus congestus clouds and mature stages of
convection, are more commonly observed when the active phase of the MJO is
over Australia due to greater mid-level moisture during the active phase of
the MJO. The presence of a convectively stable layer at around 5 km altitude
over Darwin inhibiting convection past this level can explain the position of
the modes at around 2–4 km and 7–9 km. Larger cells were observed during
break conditions compared to monsoon conditions, but only during the inactive
phase of the MJO. The spatial distributions show that Hector, a deep
convective system that occurs almost daily during the wet season over the
Tiwi Islands, and sea-breeze convergence lines are likely more common in
break conditions. Oceanic MCSs are more common during
the night over Darwin. Convective areas were generally smaller and MCSs more
frequent during active monsoon conditions. In general, the MJO is a greater
control on the ETHs in the deep convective mode observed over Darwin, with
higher distributions of ETH when the MJO is active over Darwin.
Angular scattering of the Sahara dust aerosol
Authors: Horvath Helmuth , Alados Arboledas Lucas , Olmo Reyes Francisco José
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Soil erosion aerosols can be transported considerable distances, the Sahara
being one of the major sources in the world. In June 2016 the volume
scattering function of the atmospheric aerosol was determined in the Sierra
Nevada, Spain, at an altitude of 2500 m. Measurements were performed with a
polar nephelometer permitting measurements between scattering angles of 5 to
175∘. The values at the missing angles could be estimated to a high
accuracy, using the shape of the scattering function adjacent to the missing
angles, and thus a complete volume scattering function was available. During
the measuring period intrusions of long-range transported Sahara aerosol
happened several times. The classification of the aerosol was done by back
trajectories and by the Angström exponent of the wavelength-dependent
scattering coefficient, which was determined by a three-wavelength
Integrating Nephelometer. The phase function of the Sahara aerosol had a
stronger forward scattering, and less backscattering compared to the
non-Sahara aerosol, which is in agreement with other findings for irregular
particles. The asymmetry parameter of the phase function is the best
characteristic to distinguish Sahara aerosol from non-Sahara aerosol. In this
study the asymmetry parameter for the Sahara aerosol was larger than 0.65,
whereas the non-Sahara aerosol had an asymmetry parameter below 0.6. A
comparison with measurements performed with long-range transported Gobi
desert aerosols observed in Kyoto, Japan, showed very similar results.
NO2 vertical profiles and column densities from MAX-DOAS measurements in Mexico City
Authors: Friedrich Martina Michaela , Rivera Claudia , Stremme Wolfgang , Ojeda Zuleica , Arellano Josué , Bezanilla Alejandro , García-Reynoso José Agustín , Grutter Michel
Published: December 2018

Abstract. We present a new numerical code, Mexican Maxdoas Fit (MMF), developed to retrieve profiles of different trace gases from the network of MAX-DOAS instruments operated in Mexico City. MMF uses differential slant column densities (dSCDs) retrieved with the QDOAS (Danckaert et al., 2013) software. The retrieval is comprised of two steps, an aerosol retrieval and the trace gas retrieval that uses the retrieved aerosol profile in the forward model for the trace gas. For forward model simulations, VLIDORT is used (e.g. Spurr et al., 2001; Spurr, 2006, 2013). Both steps use constrained least square fitting, but the aerosol retrieval uses Tikhonov regularization and the trace gas retrieval optimal estimation. Aerosol optical depth and scattering properties from the AERONET database, averaged ceilometer data, WRF-Chem model data as well as temperature and pressure sounding data are used for different steps in the retrieval chain. The MMF code was applied to retrieve NO2 profiles with two degrees of freedom (DOFs = 2) from spectra of the MAX-DOAS instrument located at the UNAM campus. We describe the full error analysis of the retrievals and include a sensitivity exercise to quantify the contribution of the uncertainties in the aerosol extinction profiles to the total error. A dataset comprised of measurements from January 2015 to July 2016 was processed and the results compared to independent surface measurements. We concentrate on the analysis of 4 single days and additionally present diurnal and annual variabilities from averaging the 1.5 years of data. Even though the total error is considerably large (depending on the exact counting 14–20 %) this work still provides new and relevant information about NO2 in the boundary layer of Mexico City.
On heating of solar wind protons by the parametric decay of large-amplitude Alfvén waves
Authors: Comişel Horia , Nariyuki Yasuhiro , Narita Yasuhito , Motschmann Uwe
Published: December 2018

Abstract. By three-dimensional hybrid simulations, proton heating is
investigated starting from a monochromatic large-amplitude Alfvén wave with
left-handed circular polarization launched along the mean magnetic field in a
low-beta plasma. We find that the perpendicular scattering is efficient in
three dimensions and the protons are heated by the obliquely propagating
waves. The thermal core proton population is heated in three dimensions as
well in the longitudinal and parallel directions by the field-aligned and
obliquely propagating sound waves out of the parametric decay. The
astrophysical context is discussed.

On the use of weather regimes to forecast meteorological drought over Europe
Authors: Lavaysse Christophe , Vogt Jürgen , Toreti Andrea , Carrera Marco L. , Pappenberger Florian
Published: December 2018

Abstract. An early warning system for drought events can provide valuable information
for decision makers dealing with water resources management and international
aid. However, predicting such extreme events is still a big challenge. In
this study, we compare two approaches for drought predictions based
on forecasted precipitation derived from the Ensemble extended forecast model (ENS) of the ECMWF, and on forecasted monthly occurrence anomalies of weather
regimes (MOAWRs), also derived from the ECMWF model. Results show that the MOAWRs approach outperforms the one based on forecasted
precipitation in winter in the north-eastern parts of the European continent,
where more than 65 % of droughts are detected 1 month in advance. The approach
based on forecasted precipitation achieves better performance in
predicting drought events in central and eastern Europe in both spring and
summer, when the local atmospheric forcing could be the key driver of the
precipitation. Sensitivity tests also reveal the challenges in predicting
small-scale droughts and drought onsets at longer lead times. Finally, the results show that the ENS model of the ECMWF successfully
represents most of the observed linkages between large-scale atmospheric
patterns, depicted by the weather regimes and drought events over Europe.
Gender Bias in the Classroom: Strategies for Instructors that Tackle Sexism and Gender Bias
Authors: Garcia Amanda
Published: December 2018

Sexism and gender bias can be a common experience for women on university campuses. Facing these types of discrimination has been shown to result in negative academic outcomes, a reduction in the satisfaction of academic pursuits, and lowered self-confidence in female students (Logel et al., 2009; Morris & Daniel, 2008). Within this climate, course instructors are well poised to be part of the solution by creating and fostering an inclusive space in their classrooms. This interactive workshop focuses on promoting a gender inclusive learning environment within the university classroom context. Participants will learn to describe the effects of gender bias on female students, to identify sexism and gender bias in their many forms, and to apply a range of strategies to create and promote an inclusive classroom environment.
Generational Diversity in the Workplace: Challenges and Opportunities for Nursing Education
Authors: McLeod Crystal
Published: December 2018

The future of the nursing profession foresees challenges such as downsizing, changing skill mixes, and higher acuity patients (LeDuc & Kotzer, 2009; World Health Organization, 2013). Nursing students must be adequately prepared to handle such challenges by understanding their own values, the values of their colleagues, and the values of the collective nursing profession (Hahn, 2011; Hamlin & Gillespie, 2011; LeDuc & Kotzer, 2009). Yet, given the fact that nursing is now highly diversified by generational cohorts, each of whom have their own unique set of values and understanding, relating to fellow nurses and working collaboratively is more difficult than ever (Mangold, 2007). Recognizing generational differences as a potential barrier to quality nursing care and a cause of workplace conflict, educators in the profession have begun to tailor courses and teaching styles to meet the distinct needs of generationally diverse classes and work settings (Faithfull-Byrne, Thompson, Convey, Cross, & Moss, 2015; Hamlin & Gillespie, 2011; Mangold, 2007). To aide in this process, the professional development workshop proposed here will provide educators with an opportunity to learn more about generational diversity and offer strategies to maximize learning for all generations in the nursing field.

O Brasil e o Rio Grande do Sul ocupam lugar de destaque na produção de grãos e nasexportações do agronegócio, sendo os principais produtos exportados os do complexo-soja,sobretudo o grão. Possivelmente, a Lei Kandir, que isenta a tributação de ICMS sobre asoperações e produções destinadas à exportação (produtos primários, produtos semielaborados ou serviços) exerceu influência direta nesse processo. Buscando mensurar as perdas dearrecadação de ICMS causadas pela aplicação dessa lei, o objetivo desse estudo é evidenciar a participação do Corede Produção nas exportações de soja do Estado, entre os anosde 1997 e 2014. O método adotado para a coleta se deu a partir de dados secundários sobreárea plantada, produção, volume e valor de exportação, que foram submetidos à análisedescritiva das variáveis vinculadas à exportação, permitindo quantificar os efeitos da leino estado e no Corede. Os principais resultados obtidos apontam que 16,09% das perdaslíquidas do estado, de 1997 a 2014, se referem à exportação de soja do Corede e as perdasmunicipais superam os R$108 milhões, demonstrando a sua fundamental participação nosresultados estaduais.

The genus Meloidogyne includes species of the most common nematodes to affect crops around the world. The species M. enterolobii is notable for affecting and causing serious losses in the production of guava trees and various other economically important crops in Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of 10 plant species to parasitism by M. enterolobii, and the in vitro and in vivo effects of their leaf extracts on the pathogen. Initially seedlings of Solenostemon scutellarioides, Dieffenbachia amoena, Spigelia anthelmia, Plumbago scandens, Ricinus communis, Chenopodium ambrosioides, Azadirachta indica, Morinda citrifolia, Jatropha curcas and Datura stramonium were inoculated with 5,000 eggs of M. enterolobii to evaluate their susceptibility to nematode infection. For the test in vitro, a 5% concentration of the leaf extracts were added to Petri dishes, and 50 J2 of M. enterolobii were placed in each dish. After 48 hours incubation, the juveniles were evaluated for motility and mortality in the extracts. For the test in vivo, leaf extracts were used at the same concentration, however with only the seven most-promising in vitro species. This assay included the following sequence: inoculation of 5,000 eggs in autoclaved and moist soil contained in 1L pots; application of 30 ml of extract to the soil after 24 hours; transplanting of ‘Santa Clara’ tomato seedlings the following day; and reapplying the extract after 7 and 14 days. The results were evaluated 45 days after nematode inoculation. It was seen that the species D. amoena, R. communis, A. indica, M. citrifolia, J. curcas and D. stramonium displayed highly resistant behaviour; S. anthelmia, P. scandens and C. ambrosioides were very resistant, whereas S. scutelarioides was susceptible to the nematode. With the in vitro test, extracts from seven of the 10 species caused 70.4% to 97.4% J2 mortality. Applying the best leaf extracts to the soil was efficient in reducing M. enterolobii infestation in roots of the tomato.

The consumption of goat's milk has increased significantly in Brazil. In 2014, its production was 153 thousand tons, and the Paraná state is responsible for the production of 380 thousand liters. Although the government regulates goat milk, this raw material is not widely studied in Brazil. The objective of this work was to study its microbiological and physicochemical characteristics. A total of 32 samples from 8 Paraná State farms were analyzed. The microbial indicators of hygiene, psychrotrophic bacteria, L. monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. were evaluated. We used physicochemical tests of goat’s milk that were established by the Brazilian legislation. In addition, phosphatase activity, pH, conductivity, boiling test, and urea content were measured. The average concentrations of mesophilic aerobes, coliforms, E. coli, coagulase positive Staphylococcus and psychrotrophic microorganisms were 4.10, 2.38, 0.65, 2.06 and 4.02 log CFU mL-1, respectively. The samples did not present L. monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. In the physicochemical analysis, 90.63% of the samples presented at least one parameter outside the legal standards. In the somatic cell count, 73.33% of the samples had counts higher than 1 x 106 cells mL-1. Raw goat's milk produced in Paraná has high coliform and psychrotrophic counts, indicating poor hygiene during milking. The fluctuating values of the physicochemical data indicate that additional studies are required to determine the parameters that reflect the Brazilian conditions of goat milk production.

Crossbreed F1 Holstein x Gyr cows are proving to be a good alternative for milk production under tropical conditions. In order to contribute to that affirmative, our work focused on clarifying the metabolic patter of F1 Holstein x Gyr dairy cows during the most critical time in the lactation cycle, the transition period, and to compare their performance in two seasons. Blood sampling was performed on 15 cows during summer (January to April) and on 13 cows during winter (May to August), beginning three weeks before the estimated calving date, until 30 days relative to calving. The season had a great influence on the metabolic status. Almost all evaluated metabolites, with exception for aminotransferase (AST), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), that have shown no variation among seasons, demonstrated a different patter between summer and winter. Liver functions were enhanced during the postpartum, with increased liver enzymes activity and increased concentration of cholesterol and BHB. Animals went through negative energy balance (NEB) and an alarming number of animals had experienced subclinical ketosis and high NEFA concentrations.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen topdressing rates applied to an intercrop of maize (M) with paiaguás grass (G) and pigeonpea (P) on silage production and on the pasture development in the offseason. Treatments consisted of two simultaneous intercropping systems (M + G; and M + G + P) and four N topdressing rates (0, 80, 160, and 240 kg ha?1). The introduction of pigeonpea into the system and the increasing N rates provided gains in yield and silage quality. Pigeonpea responded to nitrogen fertilization by having good regrowth and good dry matter yields in the intercrop. For silage making, the N rates of 240 kg ha?1 N for M+G and 120 kg ha?1 for M+G+P can be recommended. Nitrogen rates promote an increase in the dry matter yield of the grass and of pigeonpea, resulting in improvements in the pasture during the offseason.

The inclusion of plant oils in the diets of grazing cows represents a promising nutritional strategy for the production of milk naturally enriched with bioactive compounds, such as rumenic (cis-9, trans-11 CLA), vaccenic (trans-11 C18:1) and oleic (cis-9 C18:1) acids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with sunflower oil (SO) on the fatty acid (FA) composition of milk from Holstein x Gyr dairy cows grazing on Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu under rotational stocking. Sixteen multiparous cows with 185±10 days in milk received a concentrate containing 0% (control) or 15% SO on a dry matter basis in a randomized block design with two replications (paddocks). The results were analyzed with mixed models (P ? 0.05) using repeated measurements over time, as represented by sampling days 14, 35 and 62 (periods 1, 2 and 3, respectively). In any period, an effect of SO supplementation was observed on milk production, pasture dry matter intake and nutrients intake, whereas the concentrations of most milk FA were altered in SO-fed cows. In particular, dietary supplementation with SO resulted in the production of milk enriched with FA beneficial to human health (rumenic, vaccenic and oleic acids) and with lower levels of hypercholesterolemic lauric (C12:0), myristic (C14:0) and palmitic (C16:0) acids. This positive effect on the nutritional quality of milk fat was more noticeable from the 40th to 43rd days of sunflower oil supplementation.
