Comparison effects of decapitation and disbudding with application of glucose in rooting of Chrysanthemum cuttings
Authors: Borowski Edward , Kozłowska Lidia
Published: August 2013

Cuttings of Chrysanthemum cv. 'Horim Golden' were decapitated and disbudded or intact cuttings were treated with glucose solution. Both treatments were carried out at different times after excision of the cuttings, Removal of buds on the day of cuttings excision delayed the appearance of first visible roots on the cuttings and significantly decreased the number of formed roots. But this treatment performed between day 3-5 significantly increased the mean number of roots on the cuttings. A similar influence as that of disbudding was obtained by glucose treatment of the cuttings, especially their basal parts.
Influence of terbutryne (Igran 50) on choline content in the grain of some winter wheat varieties
Authors: Ciszewska Renata , Sykut Anna
Published: August 2013

The influence of terbutryne (Igran 50) on the accumulation of choline in the grain of three winter wheat varieties ('Holme', 'Kranich', 'Winetou') was investigated in field experiments in the years 1977-1979. Igran 50 (50% S. A.) was applied to the soil in a weed control dose (4 kg/ha). Differences in choline content were found in the grain of the investigated wheat varieties. After application of the herbicide an insignificant decrease of the determined compound content was noted. These changes were dependent on the varieties of wheat and the meteorological conditions of plant vegetation. The climatic conditions, exercised a greater influence on the choline content in grain than the applied herbicide. For this reason it appears from the agricultural point of view that the effect of terbutryne provoking only an insignificant decrease of the determined compound content in the investigated material is of no greater practical importance.

Authors: Farah Michel , Hatata Mohammad
Published: August 2013

In a lysimeter experiment on alluvial loamy soil, the effect of an increasing level of urea with the addition of ZnSO4 or FeSO4 or both were tested on the yield and mineral composition of Zea mays plants. A response was found only to N application and it was of a diminishing return nature. The effect of the increasing N level in plants was reflected mostly in leaf composition and least in grain composition.
Fungi of the genus Fusarium as pathogens of soybean seedlings
Authors: Marcinkowska Joanna
Published: August 2013

Twenty isolates of fungi of the genus Fusarium collected in the period 1980-1982 from various organs of diseased soybean plants were investigated. Eight of them proved pathogenic to soybean seedlings. The species F. culmorum was most numerously represented among the isolated (4 of 8) pathogens. Isolates of F. sambucinum were also pathogenic (2 of 4) and those of F. soloni (1 of 3), too. The only isolate of F. avenaceum also caused seedling blight. Two isolates of F. oxysporum and two of F. arthrosporioides were not pathogenic. Numerous isolates affected seed gernination and one greatly inhibited growth of the infected seedlings. Pathogenicity was tested in the laboratory in Petri plates on isolate cultures and on filter paper imbibed with fungal inoculum and, in the greenhouse on a peat and perlite substrate. The degree of infection and the character of the disease symptoms depended on the experimental conditions. The results of experiments in plates and in the greenhouse supplemented one another.
The variability of morphological characters and mycelium growth rate of monoconidial culture of Botrytis cinerea Pers.
Authors: Bryk Hanna
Published: August 2013

Variability in size of conidia, formation of sclerotia and mycelial growth were examined in monoconidial cultures of 5 isolates of Botrytis cinerea Pers. The influence of two media on the above-mentioned features was also studied. It was found that Botrytis cinerea Pers. is relatively homogenous in respect to the size of conidia. Out of the 50 monoconidial cultures tested, only two had conidia somewhat larger than the remaining cultures. Monoconidial cultures derived from the same isolate varied among themselves in the rate of mycelial growth and in the number and size of sclerotia. The kind of medium used influenced mycelial growth and sclerotia formation. Better mycelial growth was observed on PDA medium than on Czapek's medium. On the latter, the fungus produced more sclerotia which were, however, smaller in size than on PDA medium.
The pathogenicity of different Botrytis cinerea Pers. isolates to apples and their sensitivity to benzimidazole fungicides
Authors: Bryk Hanna
Published: August 2013

The pathogenicity of 80 isolates of Botrytis cinerea Pers. from different hosts to apple fruit was examined. Host specificity among isolates was not found. All of the isolates, independent of their derivation, caused apple fruit rot. Isolates from apple fruits showed moderate and strong pathogenicity to apple fruits. Only 1 of the 22 examined isolates showed weak pathogenicity. Tolerance to benomyl was compared among isolates obtained from apple fruits and from other hosts. It was found that 35% of isolates from apples showed resistance to benomyl. There was no correlation between the pathogenicity of isolates and their resistance to benomyl.
Deterioration of sweet cherry fruit during storage period
Authors: Borecka Halina , Wojtas Barbara
Published: August 2013

Sweet cherry fruit cv. 'Emperor Francis' and 'Grosse Schwarze Knorpelkirsche' could be stored in cold storage conditions with normal air without big loss. Fruits stored under CA conditions were less affected by fungi during storage period, but later when were kept for 3 days at 20°C were more deteriorated than those stored at the same temperature in normal air. Botrytis cinerea and Monilinia spp. were the main fungi causing rot of sweet cherry fruit. Low temperature decreased the development of Monilinia spp. The most important factor for good fruit storage was the size of baskets. Sweet cherries stored in small baskets containing 0.5 kg of fruits were of good quality after one month of storage; in 2-kg boxes they were more damaged.

Aim of the study was to examine the biology of flowering and the degree of flower atractiveness, as well as the insect influence on their pollination. The research was conducted during 1979 and 1981 vegetation seasons. Observations were made near Lublin on the loessy brown soil. Seeds were the most abundant in IV and V umbel rows. The isolated flowers did not produce less fertile seeds than the non-isolated ones. Recorded pollen production ranged to 100 kg per ha. The Syrphidae which pollinated celery, fed on their pollen.
The effect of indole-butyric acid and kinetin on rooting of rose cuttings in winter and summer
Authors: Borowski Edward , Kozłowska Lidia , Wilkowicz Maria
Published: August 2013

The effect of indole-butyric acid, both alone and with a low concentration of kinetin, on the rooting of rose cuttings in winter and summer, is presented in this paper. The experiments were conducted using 500 and 1000 mg/l IBA with or without the addition of 5 mg/l kinetin. The growth regulators were applied by dipping the base of a cutting for 5 s in an aqueous solution of these substances. Cuttings 5-6 cm in length were made from the mid-part of a stem of a rose grown in a greenhouse. The experiments were carried out using 'Queen of Bermuda' and 'Baccara' cuttings. The investigations showed that treating rose cuttings rooted in winter with an IBA solution had a significant promotive effect on the quantity of rooted cuttings, number of formed roots on the cutting, as well as on the length of the longest root. A distinctive increase in the number of breaking buds was also seen on the cuttings treated with IBA. The IBA solution applied to cuttings rooted in the summer significantly decreased the number of rooted cuttings and breaking buds. However, no significant influence on the number and length of formed roots was found. Addition of kinetin to the IBA solutions did not have any effect on the rooting of rose cuttings either in winter or summer.

Authors: Bąkowski Józef , Kosson Ryszard , Michalik Helena
Published: August 2013

The effect of two different composts: horse manure and broiler chicken manure and the influence of flushes during the growing cycle on some chemical components contained in the mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) was studied. The strain Somycel 11 was analyzed. The following determinations were made: dry matter, total nitrogen and crude protein, nitrates, nitrites and amino acids composition. It has been noted that the crude protein from. combined flushes III to VI of mushrooms cultivated on horse manure was about 24% higher than in those grown on broiler chicken manure. Some changes in amino acids composition, especially lysine, histidine, arginine, aspartic acid, serine, methionine, glutamic acid and alanine were observed, depending on the size of the fruit-body, flushes and type of compost.

Authors: Bąkowski Józef , Kosson Ryszard , Horbowicz Marcin
Published: August 2013

The nutritional values and chemical composition of different strains of the mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) were studied. The study covered four strains cultivated in Poland: OCNOS-1, Somycel-11 , Somycel-92, and Somycel-653. The samples were analyzed for dry matter, vitamin C, nitrates, nitrites, total nitrogen and crude protein (N × 4.38), amino acid composition, soluble carbohydrates composition, and minerals content. Besides, whiteness values were determined by Hunter's method. All determinations were made on two of fruit-bodies of two sizes: 25-40 mm in pileus diameter (small) and 40-50 mm in pileus diameter (large). A significantly higher dry matter content was found in strain 1 in comparison with strain 92. The lowest value of total nitrogen was detected for strain 92 and the highest for strain 653. From among the four analyzed strains, strain 92 contained the highest amount of essential amino acids. Trehalose content was significantly lower in strain 11 in comparison with other strains both in small and large fruit-body.

Authors: Śmierzchalska Kryspina , Wojniakiewicz Elżbieta
Published: August 2013

The effects of a dose of 2.0 kGy (Co-60) and three ranges of storage temperature (0-4°C, 9-11°C, 18-19°C) on increasing the shelf-life and some quality properties of the mushrooms were investigated. The retardation of mushroom growth and ageing by ionizing radiation was estimated by measurements of the cap diameter, stem elongation, cap opening and discoloration of cap surface. The control of fungal and bacterial diseases was also evaluated. The effect of lower doses, 0.5 and 1.0 kGy, was compared at the storage temperature of 10°C.
The irradiation of mushrooms soon after harvest and storage at temperatures of 10 and 16°C allowed the retention of quality and increased the shelf-life to 8 days; at 18-19°C to 6 days.
Effect of relative humidity on foliar absorption of P and Rb by Chrysanthemum and Pilea
Authors: Marczyński Szczepan , Tukey, Jr. H. B.
Published: August 2013

Air humidity differentially affected the foliar absorption of 33P and 86Rb by Chrysanthemum morifolium 'Giant # 4 Indianapolis White' and Pilea cardierei. As the relative humidity increased from 47 to 80% in most cases, there was in increase in uptake. Further raising of humidity to 92% increased uptake of Rb and P by Chrysanthemum leaves only when guttation did not occure . Air humidity influenced most strongly the uptake of calcium phosphate probably due to its low solubility.

The aim of this paper is to present a historic-geographical analysis of the segetal flora of East Pomerania on the basis of floristic materials collected in the years 1972-1979. It shows: the percentages of apophytes and of two anthropophytes groups, i.e., archaeophytes and kenophytes in the cropfield flora of the study region, and compares it with their occurrence in other parts of the country. The frequency of occurrence of different taxa in the respective groups, depending on the specificity of a mesoregion, and the menace to crops from the particular weed species in the study period are also analysed. This paper also indicates which species are rare within the whole mesoregion considered, or which are likely to become a threat to crops in the near future.
Air and root medium temperature and the rooting of chrysanthemum and rose cuttings
Authors: Borowski Edward , Hagen Paul , Moe Hoar
Published: August 2013

Cuttings of the chrysanthemum cultivar 'Horim' and rose cultivar 'Garnette' were rooted at 21°C, 24°C, 27°C root temperature in a factorial combination with 15°C, 18°C and 21°C air temperature. In each of the air and root temperatures, rose cuttings from different positions of the flower shoot were rooted. The effects of air and root temperatures and their interactions on root formation of chrysanthemum and rose cuttings were studied. Increasing the air temperature from 15°C to 21°C accelerated rooting and distinctly increased the number of roots per cutting on both plants. Higher root temperatures (24°C, 27°C) had a favorable influence on the rate of the rooting process but did not enhance the number of formed roots. Increasing both temperatures significantly increased the growth of the roots and their fresh and dry weight. An adverse effect of the root temperature was noticed on the breaking and growth of rose buds. Increasing the temperature from 21°C to 27°C strongly decreased the percentage of breaking buds and their growth. The results are discussed from the point of view of the influence air temperature on the contents of growth substances in the cuttings.

Authors: Mercik Stanisław , Stępień Wojciech , Mercik Teresa
Published: August 2013

Three year long pot experiments using medium sand were conducted with a Italian ryegrass, Lolium multiflorum. Two year pot experiments were also done on medium soil with meadow fescue, Festuca pratensis. Before the experiment was begun, the absorbing complexes of these soils were saturated with cations to very different degrees. The results of these experiments showed that the degree of saturation of the absorbing complexes with potassium and magnesium should increase as the size of the complex decreases. Increasing doses of potassium significantly widened the K : (Ca + Mg) ratio in grasses and lowered their quality, while Ca and Mg slightly narrowed this ratio. However, it was not wider than the acceptable ratio, even with the highest K doses.

The fungi were isolated from various apple tree organs: young and old leaves (May, November), flowers, flower buds, fruitlets, the skin of fully ripe apples, flower residues on fruits, twigs and cortex. The following fungi were isolated: A. alternata, A. tenuissima and A. consortiale. A. alternata was the most common and the highest number of isolates was pathogenic to apples.
Effect of chlormequat (CCC) on the accumulation of ethephon in tomatoes and on ethephon-stimulated ripening
Authors: Czapski Janusz , Horbowicz Marcin , Borkowski Jan
Published: August 2013

In greenhouse experiment, tomato seedlings were treated with CCC (250 mg·l-1) twice before transplanting. When about 10% of fruits were showing signs of ripening (pink fruits), ethephon solution (960 mg·l-1) was applied either to leaves only or to fruits only, in order to make ripening more uniform. CCC treatment delayed the process of fruit ripening and lowered the ethephon accumulation in ripe fruits as compared to the control (CCC untreated plants). The results were similar when ethephon was applied to leaves only or to fruits only.

Authors: Jurzysta Marian , Burda Stanisław , Żurek Janusz , Płoszyński Michał
Published: August 2013

Preliminary investigations were carried out in order to ascertain the occurrence of isoflavonoid compounds characterized by estrogenic activity, in five domestic species of clover: Trifolium pratense L., T. repens L., T. incarnatum L., T. resupinatum L. and T. hybridum L. Large amounts of biochanin A (0.8% d.m.) and formononetin (0.7% d.m.) and small amounts of genistein were identified in the green parts of red clover. In the remaining species, small amounts of formononetin and genistein were found. In all the species of clover, free isoflavonoid aglycones and glycosides were found. Laboratory tests carried out on mice showed that only T. pratense contained high estrogen activity. Red clover also had an unidentified factor which inhibited the increase of the body weight of young mice.
Changes in the segetal communities in 1977-1983 accompanying with formation of Bełchatów Industrial Region
Authors: Warcholińska A. Urszula
Published: August 2013

Characteristics of the changes in the agrophytocoenoses of the Bełchatów Industrial Region are presented in this paper. The observations were conducted on permanent areas during 1977-1983. Biological (phytosociological and bioindicatorial) methods were used. The dynamics of changes in weed communities in crop rotation were anlysed. Changes in the composition and structure of agrophytocoenoses belonging to 10 syntaxonomes and changes in their habitats were found. The causes and directions of these changes were established. These processes lead to the impoverishment of segetal flora and the formation of simpler formations which are less stable and less resistant to anthropopressure. On the basis of the results obtained in this study, an evaluation of the productivity of field habitats was made, agroecological regions were discerned and ways of forming and protecting agricultural production areas of the Bełchatów Industrial Region are given.
Occurrence of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) diseases in Olsztyn-Elbąg and Bydgoszcz Provinces
Authors: Sadowski Stanisław
Published: August 2013

During the years 1981-1985, there were conducted studies of the healthiness of broad bean,'Nadwiślański' variety, cultivated in different soil and climate conditions of the two regions: i.e. Bydgoszcz - comparatively warmer and drier, and Olsztyn-Elbląg - colder and moister. It was found that the main reason for a premature broad bean leaves dry in up in the Olsztyn-Elbląg Region was caused by the fungi Cercospora and Botrytis, and in the Bydgoszcz Region - the root rot which occurs here to a greater extent. Root gangrene was greater intensity in drier and lighter soils. Rotting broad bean roots were most frequently occupied by the fungi of the Fusarium family (ca. 70%). The prevailing species were Fusarium oxysporum, next F. solani and more rarely F. culmorum and F. avenaceum. Climate conditions and soil species affected considerably the species composition of the root fungi.
Changes in endogenous growth inhibitors in onion bulbs (Allium cepa L.) cv. Sochaczewska during storage
Authors: Kielak Elżbieta , Bielińska-Czarnecka Maria , Różycka Helena
Published: August 2013

Changes in inhibitor activity in the onion bulbs (Allium cepa L.) cv. Sochaczewska during storage were investigated. Onions were dried under an umbrella roof until October 15th or November 15th and thereafter stored in a cold-room at 0-1°C until May 15th. The activity of inhibitors fluctuated markedly during the storage period. At least two peaks and two decreases of inhibitor activity were observed. The weather conditions seemed to strongly influence the level and the date of appearance of inhibitors in onions. Higher inhibitor activity is usually connected with better storage and less sprouting of onions during storage. Prolonged drying under an umbrella roof enhanced onion quality after storage only in these cases when it actually improved the drying of onions.

Authors: Piskornik Zdzisław , Mazur Aleksander , Korfel Jerzy , Koralikowska Krystyna , Maziarz Barbara , Dębski Jacek
Published: August 2013

Significant differences were found among the 22 studied hazel cultivars (Corylus avellana L.) in their resistance to hazelnut weevil (Curculio nucum L.) which is the main pest of this crop in Europe. The study investigated the relationships between the resistance of the cultivars to the pest and the physicochemical properties of the pericarp, i.e. the lignification dynamics, changes in thickness and hardness during nut development and the rate of nutlet development. Correlation analysis showed that there was no dependence between the physicochemical properties of the pericarp and the resistance of the hazel cultivars to the hazelnut weevil. Nut development dynamics were also found to be unrelated to resistance to the pest. Laboratory feeding experiments showed that during the initial feeding phase and at the time the insect searches for an oviposition site, it seems to prefer cultivars with the largest nutlets. However, in the period of intensive oviposition, traits other than nutlet size seem to be decisive for the beetles choice of cultivar.

Published: August 2013

The grain of winter wheat cv. Grana was treated with the following seed dressings: Baytan 17.5 WS, Oxalin K and Vincit WP and sown in experimental plots. In spring after the appearance of the first node the plants were sprayed with Ethrel solution at a concentration of 1000 mg/dm3. It was stated that Ethrel enhanced the fungistatic effect of the seed dressings with regard to Cercosporella herpotrichoides, Erysiphe graminis and species of the genus Fusarium, while it increased plant infection by Puccinia triticina.
Cytomorphological and autoradiografical studies on the receptacle of the strawberry (Fragaria grandiflora Eherh.) in the initial stages of development
Authors: Szymański Jan
Published: August 2013

The volume of the cortex and pith cells of strawberries from the cultivar Talizman gradually increased until ripening, especially in the cortex. The volume of the nucleus also increased. The nuclei in the pith were smaller then in the cortex. The volume of the nucleolus increased significantly between days 1 and 5 after pollination, after which it remained unchanged. At the end of the growth period, the volume of the nucleolus in cortical and pith cells in the lower and central part of the fruit increased. Endomitotic polyploidization which was responsible for the growth of the fruit, occurred during the development of the receptacle. The intensity of 3H actinomycin binding reached a maximum in the oldest stages. This is proof for the accumulation of active DNA during mitosis. Saturation with this antibiotic occurred in the early stages of fruit development. No dependence between the volume of cells and the number of nuclei binding 3H actinomycin was observed.

Authors: Kaczmarczyk Stanisław , Koszańska Ewa , Ściążko Daniel , Roy Małgorzata
Published: August 2013

The second part of this paper presents effects of supplemental irrigation and nitrogen fertilization on nitrate levels in flag leaf, activity of some enzymes and yield of winter wheat and triticale. Both sprinkling irrigation and high doses of nitrogen enhanced the activity of nitrate reductase and peroxydase and slightly that of acid phosphatase. Plants from plots treated with high rates of nitrogen contained more nitrate nitrogen. Sprinkling irrigation and intensive nitrogen fertilization significantly increased the crops of winter wheat and triticale. As effect of sprinkling the yield of winter wheat increased by 35 % and triticale by 14 %. High nitrogen doses affected the yield respectively by 92 and 115 % and the combined effect of both treatments increased the yield of winter wheat by 158 % (3.3 t/ha and triticale by 139 % 3.10 t/ha).
Stratification of weed communities inhabiting winter crops
Authors: Siciński Jan T.
Published: August 2013

The present study is an attempt at partial filling a gap in the research on the spatial structure of weed distribution in plantations of winter crops. On the basis of data from Polish scientific literature and own research the stratification of selected stands of weed communities, of various, mainly edaphic, requirements, in winter crops is presented. In three selected stands, representing various communities, the weed spatial structure is similar, differing only in the floristic composition of segetal plants constituting given phytocoenoses. The midlle (c2), lower (c3) and ground (c4) strata were recorder in the studied fields, while the upper (c1) and mosses (c5) ones were missing, which was propably a result of an influence exerted by the planted crop (rye), creating similar developmental conditions for weeds, and by climate (amount of precipitation).

Published: August 2013

The weedy status of the cereal stubble-fields on a fertile soils (podzolic and brown developed from silt of water origin and loess as well as chemozem) were asessed. The 243 phytosociological records, collected in 69 stands situated in 63 localities, were worked out. The species composition, number and constancy (S) and indice of coverage (D) of weed species are presented in the report. There were from 113 (podzolic loess) to 142 (brown loess) weed species on the edafic sites considered. The short-lived predominated among them (62-65%). The great floristic similarity was stated within the weed species occupied the investigated soils. The 88 species (including 27 perennial) were common for the each of them. From 24 to 37 species dernonstrated high (V-III) constancy degree, but only 5-12 along with high (over 200) indice of coverage.
Fatty acid and sterol contents during tulip leaf senescence induced by methyl jasmonate
Authors: Saniewski Marian , Czapski Janusz , Horbowicz Marcin
Published: August 2013

It has been shown previously that methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) applied in lanolin paste on the bottom surface of intact tulip leaves causes a rapid and intense its senescence. The aim of this work was to study the effect of JA-Me on free and bound fatty acid and sterol contents during tulip leaf senescence. The main free and bound fatty acids of tulip leaf, in decreasing order of their abundance, were linolenic, linoleic, palmitic, oleic, stearic and myristic acids. Only the content of free linolenic acid decreased after treatment with JA-Me during visible stage of senescence. ß-Sitosterol (highest concentration), campesterol, stigmasterol and cholesterol were identified in tulip leaf. Methyl jasmonate evidently increased the level of ß-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol during induced senescence. It is suggested that the increase in sterol concentrations under the influence of methyl jasmonate induced changes in membrane fluidity and permeability, which may be responsible for senescence.

In this article we introduce a blackboard-based multiple agent system framework that considers biologically-based motivations as a means to develop a user friendly interface. The framework includes a population-based heuristic as well as a fuzzy logic-based inference system used toward scoring system behaviours. The heuristic provides an optimization environment and the fuzzy scoring mechanism is used to give a fitness score to possible system outputs (i.e. solutions). This framework results in the generation of complex behaviours which respond to previously specified motivations. Our multiple agent blackboard and motivation-based framework is validated in a low cost mobile robot specifically built for this task. The robot was used in several navigation experiments and the motivation profile that was considered included “curiosity”, “homing”, “energy” and “missions”. Our results show that this motivation-based approach permits a low cost multiple agent-based autonomous mobile robot to acquire a diverse set of fit behaviours that respond well to user and performance expectations. These results also validate our multiple agent framework as an incremental, flexible and practical method for the development of robust multiple agent systems.

Published: August 2013

A supply chain is a complex network which involves the products, services and information flows between suppliers and customers. A typical supply chain is composed of different levels, hence, there is a need to optimize the supply chain by finding the optimum configuration of the network in order to get a good compromise between the multi-objectives such as cost minimization and lead-time minimization. There are several multi-objective optimization methods which have been applied to find the optimum solutions set based on the Pareto front line. In this study, a swarm-based optimization method, namely, the bees algorithm is proposed in dealing with the multi-objective supply chain model to find the optimum configuration of a given supply chain problem which minimizes the total cost and the total lead-time. The supply chain problem utilized in this study is taken from literature and several experiments have been conducted in order to show the performance of the proposed model; in addition, the results have been compared to those achieved by the ant colony optimization method. The results show that the proposed bees algorithm is able to achieve better Pareto solutions for the supply chain problem.

Published: August 2013

In this contribution we present a study of the vacuum deposition process of metal/plasma polymer nanocomposite thin films monitored using plasma diagnostics (optical emission spectroscopy). We investigate the electrical properties of the nanocomposite structures suitable for their application as humidity sensors. Furthermore, the film microstructure is characterized by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction analysis. The amount of silver in the nanocomposite is evaluated using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and the morphology of the structured system of metal electrodes and nanocomposite films on monofilament textile fibres is visualized using scanning electron microscopy. Ageing of nanocomposite coatings and the influence of an aqueous environment on their internal structure and properties are discussed.

O uso de mídias na formação dos professores do Curso Normal: alternativas pela interação verbal
Authors: Oliveira Carlos Héric Silva
Published: August 2013

Este trabalho, cujo enfoque está em Bakhtin (1999 e 2003) e Mercado (2002), objetiva oferecer aos alunos do Curso Normal uma reflexão acerca do uso de mídias através da interação verbal professor-alunos. A pesquisa teve origem na análise do currículo do curso, quando se observou a ausência de uma disciplina e/ou conteúdos que versem sobre o uso das mídias e das novas tecnologias. O problema persiste porque essa modalidade forma professores que estarão lecionando a crianças no Ensino Fundamental nos moldes tradicionais de uma educação jesuítica. Sendo assim, oferecemos um estudo que visualize o uso das tecnologias e mídias na sala de aula.
Tipos de biomarcadores (marcadores moleculares) para avaliação da matéria orgânica
Authors: Ribas Lígia Macabu
Published: August 2013

Os biomarcadores são compostos específicos característicos de determinados organismos, cuja identificação em ambientes naturais permite inferências sobre a origem e os processos de evolução da matéria orgânica. São moléculas orgânicas que podem ser estruturalmente relacionadas a uma fonte biológica, um processo biogeoquímico ou fonte geográfica específica. Os marcadores geoquímicos fornecem informações sobre fonte, mecanismos de transporte, alterações e sedimentação da matéria orgânica. Além disso, os traçadores geoquímicos devem ser estáveis durante a diagênese e de fácil detecção em amostras ambientais. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo mostrar o uso de diferentes moléculas orgânicas utilizadas para a identificação da matéria orgânica.
A retomada do crescimento brasileiro e a reestruturação do espaço regional no Norte do Estado do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Cruz José Luis Vianna da
Published: August 2013

O Estado do Rio de Janeiro vem recebendo diversos investimentos de médio e grande porte, que devem provocar profundos impactos na estrutura produtiva e socioeconômica, uma vez que os empreendimentos se espalham por diversas regiões. O Norte Fluminense deverá receber uma parcela significativa desses investimentos. Sua configuração socioespacial deverá ser profundamente impactada. Para compreender esse processo, este artigo argumenta que se deve analisá-lo no contexto do padrão de inserção internacional da economia brasileira. Avança, ainda, no sentido de detectar a constituição de um corredor territorial de integração econômica, formado pelo Norte e Leste fluminense.

Este artigo discute a pesquisa na formação e prática profissional. No primeiro momento, realiza uma descrição histórica referente à pesquisa e produção do conhecimento no Serviço Social, buscando identificar as "mudanças" ético-políticas e teórico-metodológicas vivenciadas pela disciplina de pesquisa. Em seguida, problematiza a relação da pesquisa com a prática profissional do Serviço Social na atualidade, particularizando a área da saúde. Por fim, indica a necessidade de a pesquisa no Serviço Social romper os marcos do academicismo e até mesmo da unidisciplina, visto que, na saúde, a realidade abordada abrange a dinâmica do mundo da vida.
Hermenêutica, práxis e solidariedade
Authors: Batista Gustavo Silvano
Published: August 2013

Neste artigo pretendemos discutir a relação entre hermenêutica filosófica e práxis. Tal relação abre um âmbito de reflexão e discussão que tem como principal objetivo um engajamento em defesa da razão prática, em detrimento da consideração de que toda racionalidade deve se apresentar, fundamentalmente, como lógico-científica. Deste modo, visamos refletir sobre a questão da práxis tal como pensada por Gadamer, apontando para uma pretensão filosófica fundamental: a defesa de uma universalidade para sua ontologia da compreensão.

Published: August 2013

Nos dias atuais, a Remuneração Variável tem assumido diferentes perspectivas, agregando, de um lado, estudiosos e teóricos que a recomendam como ferramenta estratégica de qualidade e vantagem competitiva para o sucesso organizacional e, de outro, posturas desfavoráveis pelos impactos negativos que esta tem provocado no clima organizacional da empresa e mesmo em termos pessoais do colaborador. Este artigo visa refletir sobre os possíveis tipos de remuneração variável, bem como apresentar uma minuta de proposta de sua elaboração para o docente do ensino superior que atua em EaD. Levaram-se em conta as especificidades do trabalho docente e suas variáveis, enquanto modalidade de ensino caracterizada pela separação professor-aluno, mediada por recursos tecnológicos.

Reflection iii: Transnationalisation, Television Formats and the Universal
Authors: Knox Simone
Published: August 2013

This reflection argues that, despite various good reasons for approaching the notion of the ‘universal’ with caution, cultural theorists should give up their resistance to the universal. The prominence of formats in today's television suggests that the time is ripe to do. Intentionally or not, accounts of difference implicitly also often reveal sameness; the more we probe heterogeneity, the more likely we are to encounter something that remains consistent and similar. Thus, it is time to collaborate with scholars from the numerous disciplines for which the universal has long had validity and pertinence.

Published: August 2013

An 85-year-old woman with no history of abdominal surgery complained of abdominal pain and vomiting and was referred to us with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction a few days later. Upon admission to our facility, she presented with marked abdominal swelling and prominent kyphosis. Because of the kyphosis, most of the dilated bowel was compressing her thoracic cavity. No obvious strangulation or free air was observed via abdominal computed tomography imaging. We attempted decompression using a nasogastric tube, but the symptoms persisted. Surgery was performed 2 days after admission. The origin of the obstruction was a compression of the ileocecal region by the costal arch. The bowel was discolored, and thus surgically excised. There were no major postsurgical complications other than a mild wound infection. Until now, there have been no reports of advanced kyphosis inducing ileus, but there are concerns of an increase in similar cases as society continues to age.

Published: August 2013

Schwannomas are rare tumors that arise from Schwann cells in neural sheaths. They are commonly found in the central nervous system, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves of the body. Occasionally, they occur in the gastrointestinal tract, with the stomach being the most common site. However, colorectal and retroperitoneal schwannomas are very rare. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult and definitive treatment entails surgical excision. We herein present 3 cases of intraabdominal schwannomas.
