Authors: Ramón-Arbués Enrique , Martínez-Abadía Blanca , Granada-López José Manuel , Echániz-Serrano Emmanuel , Huércanos-Esparza Isabel , Antón-Solanas Isabel
Published: June 2020

Objective: to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a cohort of workers and to quantify its association with compliance with the Mediterranean diet follow-up. Method: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on a cohort of 23,729 workers. Clinical data from annual medical examinations and the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener were used to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Results: 51.3% of the participants showed good adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The multivariate analysis showed an inverse and significant association between the follow-up of the Mediterranean diet and the prevalence of abdominal obesity (Odds Ratio = 0.64, 95% CI 0.56; 0.73), dyslipidemia (Odds Ratio = 0.55, 95% CI 0.42; 0.73), and metabolic syndrome (Odds Ratio = 0.76, 95% CI 0.67; 0.86). Conclusions: our results suggest that the Mediterranean diet is potentially effective in promoting cardiovascular health. Implementing the interventions promoting the Mediterranean diet in the working population seems justified.

Published: June 2020

Abstract: Vegetation associated with rocky outcrops is responsible for increasing floristic and landscape diversity, since its flora can be different from the adjacent landscape. Our objective was to characterize the woody vegetation associated with the rocky outcrop of the RPPN Mirante da Serra, Cristalino region, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. In a Deciduous Seasonal Forest associated with granite outcrops, we demarcated a plot of 1ha. We performed collections on this plot, installed for conducting monitoring studies, and also random collections on trails near the plot to better represent the outcrop flora. We totaled 126 species, 95 genera and 39 families. Overall, 18 species were increased to the Flora of Cristalino - with seven new records to the flora of Mato Grosso and four new records to the Amazon Domain. We found two threatened and 17 Brazilian endemic species. The rocky outcrop present in the RPPN Mirante da Serra is an important conservation area for a continuous execution of floristic studies in a manner to enable a monitoring program of the area, considering the new occurrence records and also because it contains threatened species.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT: The soybean looper (Chrysodeixis includens) is an important defoliation pest in crops such as soybean and cotton in Brazil. Its main control tactic is chemical insecticides. Considering the importance of chemical control for this pest, monitoring the susceptibility of C. includens populations is strategic for an efficient Insect Resistance Management. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility levels of C. includens populations in the state of Mato Grosso - Brazil to lufenuron and spinosad. Seven populations were collected in soybean fields around the state. For the bioassays, early L3 larvae were exposed to insecticides using the diet-overlay method. Although the compounds have distinct modes of action, Tangará da Serra population had the highest resistance ratios for lufenuron (11.62) and spinosad (7.84), compared to laboratory population (susceptibility reference). Even with low resistance levels, it is necessary to maintain regional monitoring of C. includens susceptibility to the evaluated insecticides, as well as to extend the range of molecules monitored.

ABSTRACT: The soil macrofauna is fundamental for the maintenance of soil quality. The aim of this study was to characterize the soil macrofauna under different species of cover crops, including monoculture or intercropping associated to two types of soil management in the southwest region of Piauí state. The study was carried out in an Oxisol (Latossolo Amarelo, according to Brazilian Soil Classification System) in the municipality of Bom Jesus, Piauí, distributed in 30 m2 plots. Testing and evaluation of the soil macrofauna were conducted in a 9 × 2 strip factorial design, with combinations between cover crops/consortia and soil management (with or without tillage), with four replications. Soil monoliths (0.25 × 0.25 m) were randomly sampled in each plot for macrofauna at 0‒0.1, 0.1‒0.2, and 0.2‒0.3 m depth, including surface litter. After identification and counting of soil organims, the relative density of each taxon in each depth was determined. The total abundance of soil macrofauna quantified under cover crops in the conventional and no-tillage system was 2,408 ind. m-2, distributed in 6 classes, 16 orders, and 31 families. The results of multivariate analysis show that grass species in sole cropping systems and no-tillage presents higher macrofauna density, in particular the taxonomic group Isoptera. No-tillage also provided higher richness of families, where Coleoptera adult were the second more abundant group in no-tillage and Hemiptera in conventional tillage.

Authors: SANTOS KAUÊ LOPES DOS
Published: June 2020

Abstract The increase in the production of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) became a widely discussed issue around the world in the early 21st century. If, on the one hand, this type of waste draws attention due to the risks that its improper management can generate to the environment and human health, on the other hand, it represents a concrete possibility of implementing reverse logistics. The objective of this paper is to understand the WEEE recycling conditions in the dynamic Macrometrópole Paulista. Thus, through a methodology that involves the survey and analysis of diverse secondary sources, It can be considered that the recycling of WEEE in the studied region is still in the structuring phase, so that some normative and technical challenges need to be overcome to ensure the establishment of the circular economy.

Published: June 2020

Abstract The aim of the current article is to address the relationship between urban dynamics and socio-environmental conflicts expressed in the territory of São Paulo Macrometropolis (MMP), which is a complex urban-regional phenomenon whose logic is mainly associated with economic and circulation flows based on different local dynamics. As the result of a research in progress, the current study is based on a methodology that associates socioeconomic and urban data analysis and the mapping of some indicators. Its main aim is to investigate conflicts associated with the dynamics of the Macrometropolis, with emphasis on relationships set among environmental vulnerability, socio-spatial inequalities and protected areas. Results have indicated that the urbanization process in the MMP, which is dispersed and lacks planning, has significant negative effects on environmental protection areas and jeopardizes their sustainability. It was possible concluding that it is necessary implementing an integrated and participatory planning process in the MMP.

Resumo Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa avaliar a composição química e a degradação in situ do feno de pindoba de babaçu submetido à amonização com três doses de ureia na matéria seca (MS) (2, 4 e 6%) nas alturas de 0 - 1,5 e 1,6 - 3,0 metros. Para avaliação da degradação, pesou-se 4 g de amostra em sacos de náilon, incubados no rúmen de dois bovinos fistulados, nos tempos 6, 24 e 72 h com 5 repetições por tratamento. A amonização com ureia elevou (P<0,05) os teores de proteína bruta (PB) do feno de pindoba de babaçu, porém não influenciou os teores de fibra em detergente neutro (FDNcp) e ácido (FDAcp) livres de nitrogênio, com aumento dessas frações quanto mais alta a forrageira. A degradação potencial da MS foi elevada, com destaque para o tratamento com 4% na MS e altura de 0 - 1,5m (28,45%). A amonização reduziu o tempo de colonização (lag) da FDN (00 h 48 min para altura de 0 - 1,5m) e elevou a fração degradável (Bp). O feno de pindoba de babaçu apresenta melhor degradação potencial e efetiva da MS, PB e FDN quando obtido em altura até 1,5 m e submetido à amonização com doses acima de 4% de ureia, sendo indicados essa altura e esse nível de alcalinização para se obter um feno de melhor qualidade.

Published: June 2020

Abstract This study aimed to assess the performance of intact and castrated beef cattle on the pasture of Brachiaria humidicola alone and intercropped with Arachis pintoi cv. BRS Mandobi. The experiment was carried out from February to June 2016 on the private property of a partner of Embrapa Acre. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2×2 factorial arrangement, with two sex classes (intact and castrated) and two types of pasture (alone and intercropped). The leaf to stem ratio was high (P<0.05) in the pasture alone. No significant difference was found for stocking rates. Dry matter intake was high (P<0.05) in the intercropped pasture compared to that alone, with means of 8.96 and 6.66 kg/ day, respectively. Animals managed in intercropped pastures had better performance (P<0.05) than those castrated under pasture alone. Nelore steers castrated at 20 months of age, managed under intercropped pastures, showed similar productive performance (P>0.05) to intact animals.

Abstract This study aimed to assess the ingestive behavior and feeding preference of goats reared in degraded Caatinga (dry tropical forest) during three seasons: transition (rainy-dry), dry, and rainy seasons. The experiment was carried out at the UFPB Experimental Station in São João do Cariri, PB, Brazil. Six male goats kept on pasture with an area of 3.2 hectares were used. The animals were assessed through continuous visual observation. The experimental design was completely randomized, with three treatments (rainy-dry, dry, and rainy seasons) and six replications (animals). Means were submitted to the Tukey test at a 5% level. The time www.revistas.ufq.br/vet spent by animals during the transition season (rainy-dry) had to cite in the article page. similarities for the selected grasses, herbaceous/sub-shrub plants, litter, and shrub/ tree plants, except for bromeliads and cacti. The animals spent longer grazing time consuming grasses at the rainy season. During this season, marmeleiro (Croton hemiargyreus Mill. Arg.) was the most selected species in relation to catingueira (Caesalpinia pyramidalis Tul.) and pereiro (Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart.). The time spent for grazing activity during the transition season (rainy-dry) was longer than the rainy and dry season. Goats reared extensively in the Caatinga have high plasticity in their eating habits and can behave as grazing or browsing animals.

Published: June 2020

Abstract This study aimed to compare the effects a commercial milk-based extender and a self-made egg yolk extender had on the quality of canine semen stored at two different temperatures, 5ºC or 15ºC. The ejaculate obtained was split into two aliquots of equal volume and diluted with the milk or egg yolk extender. The final concentration was 100×106 spermatozoa/mL. Diluted semen was placed in transport containers and maintained at final storage temperatures of 5ºC and 15ºC. The quality of the chilled semen was assessed 12, 24, and 36 hours after storage. Semen diluted with the milk extender had higher motility, vigour, and plasma membrane integrity (p<0.05) of the spermatozoa than that diluted with the egg yolk extender. No difference in the semen quality was observed between the stored temperatures in both the groups. The difference observed between the extenders could be due to the standard formulation of the commercial milk extender and the presence of glucose in the mixture. In conclusion, the milk extender was better than the egg yolk extender at preserving the motility, viability, and membrane integrity of chilled canine semen for up to 36 hours. The storage temperature did not seem to affect the semen quality, suggesting that canine semen can be refrigerated at 15ºC.

Abstract The aim was evaluated the effect of reduce in protein-energy supplementation frequency on nutrients intake, forage digestibility and degradability, as well as, ruminal pH and ammonia nitrogen (N-NH3) concentration in beef cattle receiving low-quality hay. A 4 x 4 Latin square design were used. Four steers were fed with low-quality hay and subjected to four treatments: no supplementation (control); protein-energy supplementation with 0.82% of body weight (BW) offered three times per week (3WK); 0.49% of BW offered five times a week (5 WK), and 0.35% of BW offered seven times per week (7 WK). The use of protein-energy supplementation increased intake of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), ether extract (EE), non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) and the digestibility coefficients of CP, EE, and NFC. However, no differences in DM and NDF degradation visit the website to get the how were observed between treatments in the evaluated hay. Supplementation did not alter ruminal pH, but the N-NH3 concentration was highest in treatment 7WK. Reduction in protein-energy supplementation frequency of daily to 3WK or 5WK does not negatively affect intake, digestibility and degradability of nutrients in beef cattle receiving low quality hay.

Abstract The aim of this study was to find a new method to improve shrimp availability in the culinary and food industry, especially for products in which the flavour of shrimp must be preserved, such as sauces, seasonings, dehydrated soups, and snacks. The approach involved the use of arabic gum as a drying adjuvant on powdered shrimp obtained by spray drying. The effects of the arabic gum on the physicochemical characteristics of the powdered shrimp were then evaluated. The fresh shrimp was processed using the following steps: washing, pre-baking, cephalothorax elimination, and grinding of the abdomen in a blender. Arabic gum was added to the shrimp paste at concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 8% and dehydrated in a spray dryer with input temperatures of 120 ºC and 150 ºC. The chemical, physical, and physicochemical characteristics of to cite in the article page. the control treatment, the addition of arabic gum did not cause any significant alterations to the chemical, physical, and physicochemical characteristics. The temperature increase from 120 ºC to 150 ºC in the control samples had no significant effect (p ≤ 0.05) on the moisture of the product. The input temperature of 120 ºC was found to be the most efficient for drying the shrimp, given that the final product had a high protein content.

Abstract The veterinarian has to frequently assess blood tests in equine medicine. The reference values are adapted from international literature, based on examinations of healthy horses, under a standardized climate and physical activity. This study aimed to compare the blood values obtained from sports horses and traction horses, taking into account the type of activity performed. Anamnesis and hematology data from 76 animals were used: 32 members belonged to the Traction Group (TG), corresponding to equines from traction activity (cart horses) and 44 members belonged to the Sport Group (SG), corresponding to equines used in obstacle jumping, both groups were from the Pirassununga region, State of São Paulo. Complete blood counts and plasmatic fibrinogen dosage were evaluated. The animals from the TG had lower erythrocyte count and hematocrit values. The animals from the TG had greater leukocyte values in the leukogram compared to the animals from the SG. Cart horses were found to have lower means of hematological values compared to the jumping horses. Moreover, these values were below the normal physiological range for the species.
Entre escravos e taipas: o modo de fazer africano na arquitetura paulista
Authors: Nóbrega de Jesus Carlos Gustavo
Published: June 2020

Resumo O presente artigo busca avaliar a relevante colaboração da mão de obra e da cultura africana na construção de terra na arquitetura paulista, entre os séculos XVIII e XIX. A proposta ganha uma maior relevância pelo fato de não ter recebido, ainda, a devida atenção dos pesquisadores da área, que, na maior parte das vezes, destacaram o papel singular das edificações paulistas, resultante do sincretismo étnico e cultural do português com o indígena. É verdade que buscar a fundamentação para tal proposta foi um desafio, já que, até pouco tempo, a imagem do escravo africano era representada, unicamente, pela sua força muscular, postura que o alijava de seu modo de fazer. Além disso, tal premissa permite conclusões precipitadas, como aquelas baseadas no fato de que o africano não trouxe nenhuma colaboração às técnicas construtivas paulistas, pois só cumpria ordens e não tinha autonomia de criação. Sendo assim, era capaz, apenas, de reproduzir as técnicas de outras culturas. Para se contrapor a tais hipóteses foi necessário lançar mão de uma grande gama de fontes históricas, como a iconografia, as fontes manuscritas, os relatos de memorialistas e viajantes.
Autenticidade, consumo e reconhecimento quilombola: do neotribalismo à sociedade de consumo
Authors: Marinho Thais Alves
Published: June 2020

RESUMO Esse trabalho visa compreender, por meio de uma análise sociogenética e psicogenética, com base em dados obtidos por meio da História Oral, História de Vida e observação participante, os constrangimentos institucionais que alimentam as relações de consumo e as expressões culturais entre os Kalunga e como essas afetam a organização do grupo em torno da identidade quilombola na atualidade, formalizada pelo etnônimo Kalunga. A prerrogativa sincrônica e diacrônica adotada é que cada um desses afrodescendentes do nordeste goiano interseccionam a memória coletiva a que tiveram acesso durante sua experiência de vida, fundada na tradição, objetivada por seus habitus, com a lógica formal legitimada, a medida e de acordo com a intensidade do contato estabelecido com o ambiente técnico-informacional globalizado do mercado e burocrático-instrumental do estado. O acesso aos saberes e aos bens se faz mediante uma processualidade histórica e hierarquizante de longa duração (sociogênese), estabelecida por uma rede intricada de controles sobre a cognição e a volição dos indivíduos (piscogênese). Esse jogo do poder, por sua vez, efetiva diferentes níveis de contatos com os valores tidos universais, gerando um ambiente simbólico múltiplo e desigual, que suporta tanto a universalidade quanto a particularidade, tanto a identidade quanto a diferença. Tal constatação, no entanto, frustra o ideal de autenticidade edificado pela gnosiologia moderna, que tem inspirado o reconhecimento de comunidades tradicionais rurais no Brasil, já que esperam encontrar unidades coletivas, com uma cultura autêntica e independente, que se afirma em relação às outras culturas.

Resumo Os agentes comunitários de saúde são imprescindíveis e considerados atores importantes para a organização do Sistema Único de Saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência de sintomas de depressão relacionada aos fatores ocupacionais, sociodemográficos e de estilo de vida dos agentes. Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 400 agentes comunitários, por meio de entrevistas individuais em unidades básicas de saúde de um município situado em Minas Gerais, entre 2015 e 2017. A variável dependente foi a prevalência de sintomas de depressão (Patient Health Questionnaire), e as variáveis independentes foram estresse psicossocial no trabalho (modelo demanda-controle); apoio social; perfil socioeconômico e demográfico; autopercepção de saúde; atividade física; características e condições de trabalho; capacidade para o trabalho e qualidade de vida. A prevalência de sintomas depressivos entre os agentes foi de 20,6%. Na análise multivariada, a prevalência de depressão se associou à baixa ou moderada capacidade para o trabalho, ao baixo apoio social, às classes econômicas C, D e E e aos domínios físico e psicológico da qualidade de vida. Sugere-se a criação de espaços para discussão sobre saúde mental relacionada com o trabalho.

Published: June 2020

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo analisar a trajetória da política nacional de educação e regulação do trabalho na saúde, considerando a institucionalidade e formas de incorporação da medicina no percurso da política, de 2003 a 2015. O estudo se baseou em contribuições do institucionalismo histórico, envolvendo análise de documentos legais e normativos, entrevistas com atores estatais e dados do financiamento federal da política. Cinco momentos foram identificados com base no contexto político-institucional, nas iniciativas governamentais e na inserção da medicina nas agendas de governo. A ênfase na profissão médica evoluiu de ações pontuais à condição de marco governamental, no contexto de perda de espaço da agenda do trabalho em saúde e priorização crescente das ações de educação, associada a ganhos de institucionalidade e mudanças no financiamento. O Programa Mais Médicos resultou da dinâmica da trajetória percorrida, com avanços na formação e no provimento de médicos no Sistema Único de Saúde. Permanecem, entretanto, desafios quanto às relações precárias de trabalho, à privatização do ensino médico e à regulação profissional que considere o exercício da medicina no setor privado.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the perception of adolescents with cancer undergoing palliative cares about their illness process. Method: An exploratory and qualitative study, per formed at a federal public hospital specialized in oncology disease in Rio de Janeiro, through interviews with nine adolescents aged 12 to 20 years old, from July to August 2017. Data was submitted to thematic analysis and the theoretical framework was Hildegard Peplau's Theory of Interpersonal Relationships Results: Three categories emerged: Living the difficult moment of the trajectory of the disease; Feeling the social isolation and that life has stopped; and Overcoming the difficult stage of the disease. They addressed the trajectory of the disease since the diagnosis, with the awakening of feelings of isolation and stagnation of life. Moreover, they highlighted the overcoming power of these adolescents. Final considerations: The study made it possible to know the difficulties experienced during the course of the disease, providing subsidies for the practice of nurses to happen in a sensitive, individualized manner and focused on the individual's need thus enhancing comfort and quality of life.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the prison population’s knowledge of sexually transmitted infections. Methods: An illustrated questionnaire was prepared based on the Ministry of Health’s information booklet to provide information about sexually transmitted infections and applied to a sample of the prison population (PP) (n=158). This is a descriptive and cross-sectional research conducted in 2017 in one of the penitentiaries in the western region of the state of São Paulo. Results: The study sample presented both correct knowledge and misconceptions regarding the identification, prevention, treatment and ways of transmission of these infections. Among these aspects, the identification of these infections raised the most doubts, especially about those that produce penile lesions. Conclusion: The data obtained in the study reinforces the need for greater investments in the knowledge of sexually transmitted infections in the prison setting. They should focus on educational activities contextualized to the profile of this population: young adults with low education and little access to information.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the relation between space and psychoactive substance use by adolescents. Methods: This is a mixed method study conducted with 9th grade students from an elementary school in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. In the quantitative phase (n=303), the modules for general information, use of beverages and illegal drugs from the National School Health Survey were applied. The qualitative phase (n=18) was dominant and followed the quantitative. Descriptive and associated factor analyses were performed for the quantitative variables. Concerning the qualitative aspects, speeches were analyzed based on social determination. Results: Not living with parents and having friends that drink were factors associated with a higher probability of drinking by adolescents. The adolescents' sociocultural spaces are related to the use of beverages and their consequences. Conclusion: The adolescents' views regarding the use of psychoactive substances are influenced by the social and geographical space in which they are inserted.

Os resultados indicaram que as relações ciência-tecnologia-sociedade (CTS) recebem espaço pouco expressivo nos livros didáticos e sua abordagem reflete uma visão de ciência e tecnologia socialmente neutras. Sugere-se a incorporação crítica das inter-relações CTS nos livros didáticos e reitera-se a necessidade de formação docente continuada, nas quais sejam privilegiadas a reflexão, o diálogo e o apoio de professores formadores na concretização de um ensino mais crítico quanto às dimensões sociais do desenvolvimento científico-tecnológico.

ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) genotypes may preserve important characteristics of potential use for the genetic breeding of this species. This study aimed to characterize sources of genetic resistance to the cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora), among accessions maintained at the cowpea germplasm bank of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (Brazil), in order to suggest crossing options for obtaining superior cultivars. Twenty-one local accessions were assessed together with two genotypes as resistant checks and two others as susceptible checks. A randomized complete block design, with four replications, was used. Counts of live adults and nymphs per plant were used to evaluate the genotypic resistance and, based on the ranking of these data, the effective resistance was estimated. The applied approach showed to be effective to discriminate the genetic variability for cowpea aphid resistance, identifying antibiosis as the probable resistance mechanism. Four genotypic groups were identified: resistant, intermediate, susceptible and highly susceptible. Thus, for a short-time cultivar release strategy, backcrosses are suggested between the BRS Guariba cultivar (recurrent parental, with good agronomic traits) and aphid-resistant accessions, such as Enrica Pobre (CE-36), Das Almas (CE-07), CE-51 (selected within CE-13) and Ritinha (CE-08). However, for a long-term breeding strategy, crossings between the most dissimilar accessions are suggested, using resistant genitors (e.g. BRS Guariba, Enrica Pobre, Das Almas, CE-51 and Ritinha) and others with good commercial and agronomic attributes.

ABSTRACT The intensive use of glyphosate has shown to be harmful to non-target organisms. Considering the soil as a final herbicide acceptor, the microbial community present on it is one of the critical factors to be monitored. This study aimed to isolate Bacillus sp., as well as to evaluate the effect of glyphosate on functional traits related to the growth and biocontrol activity of the phytopathogen. Bacillus sp. FC1 was isolated from the soil and grown in six media, in the presence and absence of glyphosate. The analysis of bacterial growth consisted of comparing the growth curves. The effect of glyphosate on the biocontrol activity was evaluated by antibiosis against the phytopathogen Fusarium sp. Glyphosate had a negative effect on the growth of the Bacillus sp. FC1 isolate. Exposure to the herbicide, based on the antibiosis method, showed no effect on the biocontrol activity of the phytopathogen. However, the sensitivity of the isolate to the herbicide may have affected its ability to initially compete for nutrients with the phytopathogen in the medium.

ABSTRACT Canna edulis, also known as achira or sagu, is widely grown in South America because its rhizomes are a major source of starch for food and agroindustry. This study aimed to assess the accumulation rate and physicochemical changes of starch from four canna cultivars (Verde, Nativa, Maituna and Morada), grown under a traditional system, in the southwest region of Colombia. The rhizomes were harvested after planting (between five and nine months) to extract and characterize the starch. It was found that the starch yield (% wb) was related to the plant development age, reaching a maximum at eight months for all cultivars (12.78 ± 0.19 % - Verde; 12.46 ± 0.18 % - Maituna; 12.17 ± 0.19 % - Nativa; 11.10 ± 0.18 % - Morada). The average chemical composition (% wb) of the native starch throughout the rhizome development, for all cultivars, was: 86.68 % of starch, 1.12 % of protein, 0.43 % of dietary fiber, 0.14 % of ash and 11.57 % of moisture. At the optimum harvest age, the minimum and maximum amylose contents were 45.63 % (Maituna) and 54.47 % (Verde). The starch granule size among the cultivars showed a normal distribution, with a range of 40 µm to 80 µm and mean of 59.9 µm. The pasting curves per cultivar showed that the starch generated very high viscosity gels, unstable to the heating-cooling cycles, and high retrogradation.

ABSTRACT A low availability of water in the soil may alter morphological traits and physiological processes in soybean, limiting its development, mainly at late sowings. This study aimed to evaluate the leaf gas exchanges and dry matter accumulation in soybean cultivars under low water availability at late sowing. An Oxisol with a very clayey texture was employed. A completely randomized design, in a 5 × 3 factorial scheme, with four replications, was used. The treatments were five water tensions (10 kPa, 15 kPa, 25 kPa, 40 kPa and 60 kPa) combined with three soybean cultivars (BRS Favorita, BRSMG 820 and BRSMG 850). The response variables were measured at 55 days after the emergence. The values for stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthesis rate, intercellular CO2 concentration and instantaneous carboxylation efficiency were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) with the increase of the water tension in the soil. The gas exchanges in the soybean plants were also reduced with the increase of the water tension in the soil, being the most critical ones observed from 25 kPa. BRSMG 850 showed the best performance for production of root dry matter in this water tension in the soil.

ABSTRACT Maize seeds lost during harvest may emerge and establish themselves during the cultivation of common bean, becoming a problematic weed in succession crops. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the infestation level and interference period of volunteer maize on agronomic traits of common bean. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, with four replications, in a 2 x 8 factorial scheme consisting of two maize infestation levels (4 plants m-2 and 12 plants m-2) combined with eight coexistence periods between crop and weed (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 88 days after the emergence of the common bean). Variables related to the common bean vegetative growth (plant height, stem diameter, number of side branches and shoot dry matter) and to its grain production (number of pods per plant, grain yield and weight of 1,000 grains), as well as the period prior to interference, were assessed. The increase of the coexistence period and volunteer maize infestation level negatively affected the common bean growth and grain yield. The densities with 4 plants m-2 and 12 plants m-2 of volunteer maize reduced the common bean grain yield by 60 % and 84 %, respectively; while the periods prior to interference between crop and weed, for the respective infestation levels, were 15 and 8 days after the common bean emergence. In addition, the volunteer maize reduces the period prior to interference to very low values, indicating the need to anticipate the control of this weed.

ABSTRACT The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda is among the main insect-pests on maize crops, due to its damaging potential and control issues related to the larval habit of concealing itself within the plant whorl. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of water in the maize whorl, combined with insecticides and spray sets, on the damage caused by S. frugiperda and the grain yield. The experiments were carried out under field conditions, at two cropping seasons, both with Bt-maize hybrids, in a 2 × 2 × 5 + 1 factorial scheme, testing the presence or absence of water inside the plant whorl, two insecticides and five spray sets (combinations of spray volumes, nozzle types, pressures and spraying speed), plus a control without water and insecticide. The presence of water inside the whorl reduced the damage caused by S. frugiperda during the early growth stages, especially in the plants sprayed with the insecticide chlorantraniliprole. The spray sets with 200 L ha1/20.3 psi or 250 L ha1/33.4 psi provided the highest reductions in the percentage of damaged plants and damage scores, regardless of the insecticide. Therefore, the spraying of insecticides, when there is water from irrigation, dew or rainfall inside the maize whorl, improves the control of S. frugiperda in maize crops, especially in Bt-maize.

ABSTRACT In intercropping systems, a high plant density can delay the biomass accumulation and affect the water availability to plants. This study aimed to evaluate the soil water dynamics and the crop yield performance in maize and Brachiaria ruziziensis intercropping under different sowing densities of the forage grass. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with treatments associated to the sowing densities (2 kg ha-1, 4 kg ha-1, 6 kg ha-1 and 8 kg ha-1) and the single cropping for both species as controls. The maize plants were evaluated for grain yield and B. ruziziensis for number of plants per hectare and shoot fresh and dry matter. The intercropping performance was evaluated using the land-use efficiency index. The soil water dynamics was monitored in two soil depths (0-0.3 m and 0.3-0.6 m) by using the time domain reflectometry method. The evaluation of soil water storage was carried out from plots with four of the crop systems (single maize or B. ruziziensis, and intercropping with the extreme sowing densities), at four different times. The increase in the sowing density of B. ruziziensis decreased the grain yield of the intercropped maize by 30.8 %. The intercropping system using 2 kg ha-1 of the grass seeds resulted in the best land-use efficiency (23 %). In addition, the intercropping treatments promoted a higher extraction of water from the soil, mainly at the maize growth stages with higher hydric demand (e.g., flowering and grain filling). These systems stimulate the extraction of water from deeper soil layers, when compared to maize in single cropping.

Resumo No Brasil, Miranda Magnoli, nos anos 1970, estruturou o Grupo de Disciplinas Paisagem e Ambiente da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo e seu conceito de espaços livres; com isso, abriu frente de estudos sobre relações entre espaços livres e formas urbanas. Silvio Macedo, ao longo de cinco décadas, vem reforçando a atenção às formas urbanas e sua articulação com os espaços livres. Passa-se a tomar os espaços livres como sistema e infraestrutura urbana. Macedo e equipe estruturam rede de pesquisadores em universidades de todo o país, difundindo esses conceitos e realizando novas pesquisas. A abordagem tem similitudes com outros autores, mas também busca por novos caminhos que deem conta do processo particular do expressivo crescimento de cidades brasileiras, onde fatores conjunturais são considerados ao lado dos estruturais. O artigo faz um relato da trajetória desse grupo, dos principais conceitos e métodos com que trabalha e de resultados gerais de 13 anos de pesquisa em rede, com ênfase no papel articulador do Prof. Silvio Macedo. Resultados apontam para a necessidade de novas estratégias de planejamento no país, que busquem articular a ação dos agentes que produzem os espaços livres e edificados, constitutivos das formas urbanas.
