Adalék a csángók kun eredetelméletének kritikájához
Authors: Németh Michał
Published: February 2025

In the present paper an early article of Munkácsi Bernát (1902) is revisited in which he argued in favour of treating the south-western Karaim dealveolarisation process as a proof of an alleged alternation of alveolar and dental affricates and fricatives in the language of the Codex Cumanicus. As a next step, Munkácsi (1902) argued that this particular feature is reflected in the language of Csángós (in some varieties of which š, ž is replaced with s, z, respectively), which served, in turn, as an argument in favour of their alleged Cuman origin. And even though Munkácsi’s orthographic arguments concerning such a change in the Codex Cumanicus were convincingly rejected by Melich (1903), Grønbech (1942), and Räsänen (1949), it has been never proved that the Karaim dealveolarisation is not an inherited feature. In this article, therefore, the latest philological researches of Halych Karaim manuscripts from the 18th and the 19th century are presented from which it clearly transpires that at least the š > s process took place in Karaim in the last decades of the 18th century, so it has nothing in common either with the language of Codex Cumanicus or with the Hungarian dialect of Csángós.

Authors:   Kuwait University, Al-Wattar Nouri
Published: February 2025

This study investigates how bilingualism influences academic performance, language proficiency, and professional readiness among students and young professionals in Kuwait. As multilingualism becomes avital component of education and professional life, this research explores the challenges and benefits of mastering additional languages, particularly how individuals maintain their native language skills while adapting to a globalized world. Through in-depth interviews with 13 students and young professionals, and 15 university professors, the study captures diverse perspectives on bilingualism’s impact on learning and career readiness. Participants shared how bilingualism enhances cognitive flexibility and critical thinking but also expressed concerns about the erosion of native language proficiency, especially in academic writing. Professors echoed these concerns, highlighting challenges in helping students maintain strong native language skills while excelling in other languages. The findings emphasize bilingualism’s role in providing a competitive edge in the job market and in navigating crosscultural environments. Students and professors stressed the importance of balanced bilingualism, where individuals thrive in multiple languages without sacrificing their native language. This research highlights the need for educational policies in Kuwait that promote this balance, focusing on curricula that integrate both linguistic proficiency and cultural competence. By doing so, Kuwait’s educational system can better prepare students and professionals for success in an interconnected world.

Published: February 2025

Quadrilaterals are prerequisites for learning space geometry, so it is necessary to know the geometric abilities of quadrilaterals to learn space geometry successfully. These tests will also help identify students’ level of mastery of the quadrilateral concept and provide information for teachers and researchers in planning teaching, learning and research. This research method adapted test development research: test conceptualisation, test construction, test tryout, and item analysis. There were three validators. 120 8th-grade students in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, participated. Item analysis was carried out with Iteman 3.0 software. The geometric ability instrument is valid and reliable because the Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI) is 1, and the reliable coefficient is 0.757. 21 items have a discrimination index above 0.3 and 3 items below 0.3. The distractors worked fine; only a few distractors did not work fine. Thus, this instrument can be used for geometric ability tests.

Although numerous studies have investigated the effects of technologysupported project-based learning on critical thinking, only a few research was conducted in the EFL setting. This study aims to describe the effects of technology-supported project-based learning models on EFL learners’ critical thinking in Indonesia. This study employed quasi experimental research. The participants were sixty university learners majoring in an English program in Indonesia. The instruments were a critical thinking test, close-response questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews in the writing course. Findings revealed that there was a significant effect of technology-supported project-based learning on critical thinking in writing class. Factors affecting critical thinking covered language proficiency, prior knowledge, and topic familiarity in writing. The learning activities such as online discussions, technology-mediated projects, and collaborative tasks could encourage learners’ critical thinking. This study indicates that technology-supported project-based learning could enhance learners’ critical thinking.
Breastfeeding duration: does parity influence? A longitudinal investigation: the pro-saude study
Authors: SILVA REBECA N.M. DA , FAERSTEIN EDUARDO
Published: February 2025

Abstract Breastfeeding experiences differ between primiparous and multiparous women. This study aims to investigate how parity influences breastfeeding duration among Brazilian women and to examine the relationship between the number of siblings and the duration of breastfeeding for each child. Data from the Pró-Saúde Study (1999-2012) were used to analyze breastfeeding duration. Differences between parity groups were tested using the chi-square test, while Kruskal-Wallis test and analysis of variance assessed variations in breastfeeding duration, with comparisons visualized using Kaplan-Meier plots. Characteristics such as maternal age and mode of delivery are relevant, especially among primiparous mothers, while maternal education and household income have a positive impact on breastfeeding duration. The use of the Cox model to analyze breastfeeding duration highlights the need for further investigation into the factors influencing this practice, especially considering the decrease in breastfeeding duration among children born in the 1990s and 2000s. These results point to the complex interaction of social, economic, and behavioral factors that should be considered in public policies aimed at maternal and child health.
A general analysis of the impact of international collaboration on the citation indices of scientific publications from 60 institutions across five continents
Authors: DUARTE IRAINE , SANTOS HELLEN G.G. , RODRIGUES MARCIO L.
Published: February 2025

Abstract Several studies suggest that international collaboration increases the impact of science. In this study, we selected 50 universities and 10 research institutes to analyze whether publications produced over a 10-year period would gain more visibility through the occurrence of international collaboration. To address this question, we selected the top 10 ranked universities in the world (2023), along with the top-ranked universities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. Additionally, we included 10 research institutes from different areas of the globe in our analysis. The percentage of publications including international collaboration varied widely among these institutions. Analysis of the average number of citations per publication, in addition to the determination of the field-weighted citation impact, confirmed that international collaboration resulted in higher citation indices. Our study employed approaches to partially quantify the influence of international collaboration on the impact of science, which could serve as the basis for scientific policies aimed at stimulating international partnerships and increasing scientific visibility.
LITERACIA CIENTÍFICA: UM OLHAR SOBRE AS SUAS DIFERENTES INTERPRETAÇÕES
Authors: COPPI MARCELO , FIALHO ISABEL , CID MARÍLIA
Published: February 2025

RESUMO: O estudo teve por objetivo realizar uma abordagem crítica e histórica a respeito do conceito de literacia científica, da definição das palavras que compõem o termo, das suas traduções e da existência de instrumentos desenvolvidos para avaliá-la, mediante uma revisão narrativa da literatura. Observou-se que um dos motivos para as diversas perspectivas conceituais é o significado da palavra literate, que, no idioma inglês, pode significar ser detentor do conhecimento e, também, ser capaz de ler e escrever. Outra razão é a tradução da palavra literacy, a qual pode originar, no idioma português, as palavras alfabetização, literacia ou letramento, assumindo diferentes significados de acordo com a sua interpretação. Em paralelo, há fatores relacionados com a adesão teórica adotada pelos autores e com o campo de estudos da linguagem e do ensino de línguas. O conceito de literacia científica também se revela como uma das causas geradoras de imprecisões. O fato de haver uma pluralidade de significados faz com que, muitas vezes, a literacia científica seja confundida e limitada à compreensão da ciência. Por fim, a avaliação da literacia científica configura-se como fonte de debate entre os pesquisadores da área, uma vez que existem poucos instrumentos disponíveis na literatura, a maioria deles avalia aspectos e dimensões isolados da literacia científica e uma minoria demonstra os processos de validade na sua elaboração. Em síntese, o estudo evidencia as grandes polémicas na literatura que concernem a literacia científica, apresenta as principais razões de tais controvérsias e demonstra que, a despeito destes aspectos, a literacia científica é objeto de pesquisas de âmbito internacional e apresenta-se, de uma forma ampla, como o principal objetivo do ensino de ciências.

EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP: CAN THE NATIONAL COMMON CURRICULAR BASE CONTRIBUTE?
Authors: BURGOS MARCELO BAUMANN
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: In times of attacks on democracy, Education for Citizenship acquires renewed importance. But it is not a spontaneous product of schooling, presupposing the development of certain student attitudes that, as we argue, require the school to articulate the pedagogical and organizational dimensions. In Brazil, policies aimed at this purpose are still incipient, but based on national research, recently carried out by the Center for Public Policies and Education Assessment at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, on the implementation of the National Common Curricular Base in Education In children and elementary schools, we see an interesting potential in this policy, which needs to be recognized and valued. To better reflect on this hypothesis, we formulated an analysis model that allows a more systematic approach to the fundamental variables for Education for Citizenship. With this, we returned to the data of referred research and came to the conclusion that the Base has the potential to contribute to the strengthening of Education for Citizenship, especially if it is designed in a context of full participation of actors directly involved with education and the school community, which was not the case with the version approved by the National Education Council in the turbulent political environment of 2017.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: The Yangtze River Economic Belt is an important grain production area and ecological reserve in China. It is of great practical significance to promote coordinated development between grain production and agricultural ecological protection in this region. This paper analyzed the coupling and coordination of grain production and agricultural ecological protection in the Yangtze River Economic Belt during 2009-2018 based on entropy weight method and coupling coordination model. The results showed that on the whole, comprehensive indexes of the two systems show a trend of first declining and then rising, the development stage of coupling and coordination has entered good coordination stage from primary coordination stage, and the development type of coupling and coordination belongs to the lag of agricultural ecological protection. In terms of regions, Guizhou has the highest comprehensive level of grain production, and Anhui has the lowest; the region with the highest comprehensive level of agricultural ecological protection is Chongqing, and the lowest is Jiangxi; only Anhui and Hubei have entered high coordination stage, and only Shanghai, Zhejiang, Chongqing, and Yunnan belong to the type of synchronous development. The results make up for the lack of research on coupling and coordination between grain production and agricultural ecological protection, and provided, a feasible development path for exploring coordinated development of grain production and agricultural ecological protection in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: Sous vide is a processing system in which vacuum-packed food is cooked for long periods at low temperatures. The time/temperature binomial can influence the characteristics of the product. The process can affect beef’s tenderness, depending on the parameters and cuts used. This study evaluated the effect of combining different times and temperatures on the tenderness and quality parameters of beef knuckle cut (composed of the Vastus intermedius, Vastus lateralis, Vastus medialis and Rectus femoris muscles) subjected to sous vide processing. Combinations of three temperatures (65 ºC, 75 ºC and 85 ºC) and three cooking times (60, 90 and 120 minutes) were tested for the extreme and central points of a central composite design (CCD). The tenderness of meat processed by sous vide was evaluated through shear force, cooking loss and soluble and insoluble collagen quantification. The results obtained indicated that the combination of lower temperature (65 ºC) and times between 60 and 120 minutes favoured lower cooking losses (<33%) and greater tenderness of the meat (<4.8 kgf), even though it showed lower values of soluble collagen (<0.17%). It is concluded that, for the knuckle cut, cooking using the sous vide method at 65 °C with cooking times ranging from 60 to 120 minutes was the most favourable for achieving tender meat.
Impact of forestry operations on forest soil respiration depending on stands features in Kastamonu, Turkiye
Authors: Genç Çiğdem Özer , Aricak Burak
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Background: Harvesting, especially skidding operations have a significant impact on the forest soil properties. This study aimed to advance understanding of how timber harvesting may influence soil respiration in forested ecosystems. We investigated the impact of soil respiration for some of the skidding techniques after skidding operations depending on slope and stand types. Results: We measured soil CO2 efflux to evaluate the skidding techniques on soil, depending on the slope and stand type. Thus, three skidding techniques with tractor for harvesting (1-suspended skidding, 2-using a skidding cone, 3-cable-pulling) were used in 6 different study site and the variations in soil respiration and soil properties were examined at 3 different slopes (0-20%, 20-33%, >33%), 2 different stand types (b-bc, c-cd) at topsoil (0-5 cm). Also soil respiration was measured at intervals of 5 days (on days 1, 5, and 10) after skidding operation. In addition, pH, EC (electrical conductivity), and soil moisture were evaluated depending on slope and stand type in the study. Conclusion: It was determined that respiration increased on the first day but decreased on day 5 and 10. It was found that the slope and stand type have no effect on soil respiration. It was determined that the skidding technique that reduces the soil respiration the most is suspended skidding with a rate of 90%. However, the skidding technique that reduced respiration the least was skidding by using a skidding cone suspended skidding with a rate of 64% when evaluated on day 10.

Food insecurity in pregnancy and intergenerational educational mobility
Authors: Fernandes Renata Cordeiro , Höfelmann Doroteia Aparecida
Published: February 2025

Abstract Food insecurity (FI) results from social deprivation and has consequences across generations. This study aims to evaluate the association between FI and intergenerational educational mobility of pregnant women. This cross-sectional study combines the educational level of women undergoing prenatal care in public primary health care facilities and that of their parents to investigate intergenerational educational mobility. Poisson’s regression models with robust variance were performed to investigate the relation of FI and intergenerational educational mobility. In total, 602 pregnant women were evaluated. Pregnant women categorized in stable-low education mobility (PR 1.63 95%CI 1.03-2.56), and those who could not inform their fathers’ educational levels (PR 1.66 95%CI 1.08-2.56) were more likely to live in households with FI. Women classified in stable-low (PR 1.70 95%CI 1.13-2.52), or downward educational attainment than their mothers presented higher prevalence of FI (PR 1.72 95%CI 1.12-2.63) compared to those with stable-high intergenerational education mobility. Pregnant women’s education is determinant for breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty and hunger.

Published: February 2025

Abstract To guide the interventions of health professionals, it is necessary to identify the reasons for non-adherence to treatment. This scoping review aims to identify and discuss barriers and facilitators for adherence to pharmacotherapy in chronic diseases. Of the 3,482 eligible studies, it was observed that in the 114 studies that met the selection criteria, facilitators such as income, social support, older age, education, motivation to use pharmacotherapy, formation of a bond with the health professional, health education, believe in pharmacotherapy, realize the benefits of pharmacotherapy, motivation for self-care, and disease severity, were common to the various chronic health conditions. Regarding the common barriers, were: cost of the medication, complexity of pharmacotherapy; adverse drug reaction, greater number of prescribers and pharmacies used, greater number of visits to urgent and emergency services, believing that the medication is not necessary, and having depression. The analysis of these factors provides support for the health professional to identify the reasons that led to non-adherence and guide the interventions to be carried out, promoting adherence to treatment.

Published: February 2025

Resumo O artigo investigou concepções de deficiência de 30 profissionais em formação ou em exercício, de 14 profissões da saúde, por meio de entrevistas individuais. Foram elaboradas, por um comitê de especialistas, 34 afirmativas representativas de perspectivas religiosa/moral, médica, social e afirmativa da deficiência. Os entrevistados justificaram seu posicionamento diante de cada afirmativa, revelando a coexistência de compreensões referentes tanto às perspectivas médicas quanto sociais da deficiência. Foi frequente o argumento de que impedimentos corporais são determinantes de desigualdades sociais e que práticas de saúde devem buscar a normalização do indivíduo, e também apontada a necessidade de mudança social para remoção de barreiras, inclusão e garantia de direitos. Emergiram, em poucas justificativas, críticas a ideologias individualizantes e processos sociais produtores de desigualdade. Foram frequentes as interpretações morais e/ou religiosas. A compreensão da deficiência como fenômeno complexo e multidimensional permanece limitada, revelando a necessidade de atenção à formação profissional.
Conceptions of disability among health professionals in training and in practice: a qualitative study

Published: February 2025

Abstract This study aimed to examine the conceptions of disability among 30 professionals in training or practice, representing 14 distinct health professions, through individual interviews. A committee of experts developed thirty-four representative statements encompassing religious-moral, medical, social, and affirmative perspectives on disability. The participants provided justifications for their positions on each statement, unveiling a coexistence of understandings that encompassed both medical and social perspectives on disability. A recurring argument emphasized bodily impairments as the origin of social inequalities, advocating for health practices that aim to normalize individuals. Simultaneously, the need for societal transformation to dismantle barriers, foster inclusion, and ensure rights was also acknowledged. Some justifications critically addressed ideologies that individualize disability and social processes that contribute to inequality. Moral and/or religious interpretations were frequently used by the participants. However, the study highlighted the limited comprehension of disability as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, indicating a pressing need for enhanced attention to professional training in this area.

Authors: Borges Daniely Casagrande , Canuto Raquel , Pasqual Francisco Minella , Rosa Giovani Longo , Vargas Júlio Celso Borello
Published: February 2025

Abstract Farmers’ markets are important spaces for the commercialization of fruits and vegetables, which access by the urban population is considered one of the key aspects of healthy cities. This study adopts an ecological approach with geographic-spatial emphasis to describe accessibility to farmers’ markets in Porto Alegre-RS, by four different modes of transport (walking, bicycle, bus, and car) and their associations with income and race/skin color. The distribution of markets across the city is more balanced than other food establishments, although physical accessibility is highly uneven across modes of transport: the ability to reach a market on foot in 10 minutes or less is restricted to no more than 25% of the population, while almost 90% can do it by driving a car. The study found a direct and positive association between levels of accessibility to farmers’ markets and income: wealthier areas can reach fairs in less time using any mode of transport than poorer ones (p<0.001). Regions with a majority of white inhabitants have better accessibility to the fairs on foot, by bicycle, and by bus (p<0.01) than regions with a majority of Black, Indigenous, or yellow populations

Abstract The objective was to evaluate the opening hours of establishments selling in natura and mixed foods, located in areas with and without Food and Nutrition Public Establishments (FNPE). A cross-sectional study, carried out in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Average hours of operation were recorded, and compared between in natura and mixed food establishments (Student’s t-test). The functioning of establishments was divided into status and compared between types of establishments (Chi-square). The average operation hours of the establishments were compared according to their location in areas with or without FNPE (Student’s t-test). Mixed establishments were open, on average, longer hours than in natura food establishments (p<0.001). The number of mixed establishments open at extended hours (after 18 hours) was significantly higher than the number of in natura establishments (p<0.001), on weekdays (90.9% vs. 67.8%), Saturdays (84. 1% vs. 55.9%) and Sundays (40.9% vs. 3.4%). On weekdays operation of in natura food establishments was lower in areas with FNPE (p<0.05). Mixed establishments open longer hours and are more available during extended hours and on Sundays. Areas with FNPE had lower average opening hours for in natura food establishments.

Published: February 2025

Abstract The penetration and reaming performance of a toroidal explosively formed projectile (TEFP) warhead with a charge diameter (D) of 56 mm was investigated when it was used to penetrate Q235 steel targets that were 10 mm thick at different stand-off distances (h). Thought the experimental and numerical result, the formation and penetration mechanisms of TEFP was revealed, and the differences between the radial and axial velocities in various portions of the TEFP were the primary causes of the TEFP expansion and rupture. When the TEFP tail has not completely ruptured and detached (h < 2.14D), TEFP has a strong penetration ability, resulting in TEFP perforating the target plate. The perforation process included three phases: pit opening, plastic hole expansion, and shear-block formation; these phases had average energy consumption ratios of 26.0%, 56.8%, and 17.2%, respectively. Finally, a method of evaluating the perforation and reaming capability of the TEFP was developed and used to identify the optimal stand-off distance, h0 = 1.96D, which produced a penetration hole with a diameter of 1.875D.

ABSTRACT The water status of crops is directly affected by soil water availability. As such, this study aimed to analyze water relations in maize (double-cross hybrid AG 1051) under different soil moisture contents (80, 90, 100, 110, and 120% of field capacity - FC) and fertilization systems (conventional and fertigation). The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at the Agricultural Engineering Department of Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, in the municipality of Recife, Pernambuco state, Brazil, from August to October 2019. The experimental design was randomized blocks with a 5 × 2 factorial scheme, four replicates and a total of forty experimental units. At soil moisture levels below 100% of field capacity (100% FC), fertigation increased the relative water content, leaf succulence, leaf water potential, and osmotic adjustment of maize plants. When compared to conventional fertilization, fertigation resulted in higher transpiration rates and better water use efficiency in crops irrigated at 95% of field capacity (95% FC). In plants submitted to soil moisture levels below 100% FC, the fertilization system influenced water, osmotic, and pressure potential, and osmotic adjustment occurred.

RESUMO O presente trabalho foi efetuado visando caracterizar taxonomicamente os isolados de Vertícillíum obtidos a partir de cultivos comerciais de cogumelos da região de Moji das Cruzes, SP, e verificar sua patogenicidade. Verificou-se que a principal doença do cogumelo comestível (Agarícus bísporus) é causada por Vertícíllíumfungícola do qual foi feita uma descrição sumária. A temperatura ótima para o crescimento micelial de 12 isolados de V.fungícola esteve entre 21-27ºC, em meios de Batata Dextrose Ágar e Meio de Aveia Ágar. Estas diferenças no ótimo de crescimento são uma indicação de variabilidade populacional. O ponto térmico letal dos conídios esteve entre 39-40ºC. Quando uma suspensão de conídios foi inoculada por aspersão no solo de cobertura todos os isolados foram patogênicos para o cogumelo comestível (A.bísporus), causando manchas, rachaduras, depreciando o valor comercial do produto e resultando em sintomas típicos de "bolha seca" que consiste na produção de corpos de frutificação disformes.

RESUMO Foi realizado um experimento para estimar o grau potencial de nocividade deBidens pilosa L., picão-preto, paraPhaseolus vulgaris L., feijoeiro, cv. Carioca 80. O experimento foi conduzido em caixas de amianto com dimensões de 30 x 47cme 30cmdeprofundidade contendo47 kgde solo, expostas a condições climáticas naturais e irrigação complementar sempre quefoi necessário. O grau denocividade foideterminado submetendo-se quatro plantas de feijoeiro à convivência forçada de densidades populacionais crescentes de B. pilosa, sob um delineamento de blocos ao acaso, 5 tratamentos e 7 repetições. Os dados mostraram queB. pilosa foi altamente prejudicial parao feijoeiro em todas as medidas de crescimento daplanta cultivada: biomassa epígea seca, número de vagens, biomassa dasvagens secas e sementes secas. Foi determinada uma correlação negativa e significativa entre população deB. pilosa e esses parâmetros, sendo os resultados interpretados por regressões quadráticas em função do aumento da densidade populacional da erva daninha demonstrando, assim, queB. pilosa apresenta um elevado grau de nocividade para o feijoeiro.

Published: February 2025

RESUMO Avaliou-se a eficiência de fipronil e carbofuran no controle de Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, 1824 (moleque-da-bananeira) e a sua compatibilidade com o fungo entomopatogênico Beauveria bassiana. No primeiro experimento, realizado a nível de campo, foram utilizados fipronil 20 Gr nas doses de 1, 2 e 3g/isca; carbofuran 50 Gr (5g/isca);Beauveria bassiana+ OPPA-BR-CE5% (5 x 108 esporos/isca) e testemunha. Os resultados evidenciaram que fipronil foi eficiente no controle de ad1, 1ltos de C. sordidus nas três dosagens testadas assim como o carbofuran. O segundo experimento foi realizado em laboratório usando-se fipronil, carbofuran e testemunha. Os inseticidas foram incorporados ao meio de cultura (BOA) em quantidades proporcionais às recomendadas parao controle da praga. O material foi vertido em placas de Petri que, em condições assépticas, receberam o inóculo do fungo. As placas foram mantidas a 27ºC e fotofase de 14 horas até a esporulação do microrganismo. Fipronil não provocou redução significativa na produção de esporos, apesar de ter afetado ligeiramente o diâmetro médio da colônia. Nenhum tratamento alterou a viabilidade do fungo.

RESUMO Avaliou-se a infestação natural de moscas-das frutas em frutos de 7 variedades de café (6 de Coffea arabica e 1 de Coffea canephora), cultivadas na Estação Experimental do Instituto Agronômico, em Pindorama, SP. Foram realizadas 3 coletas de frutos no estágio de cereja. Em cada variedade foram designadas 4 linhas, sendo retirados ao acaso em cada coleta 250 frutos por linha. As variedades de C. arabica 'Mundo Novo', 'Icatu Amarelo' e 'Sarchimor' mostraram os maiores pesos de frutos. As maiores quantidades de pupas foram recuperadas nas variedades deC. arabica de frutos maduros vermelhos: 'Icatu Vermelho', 'Catuaí Vermelho', 'Sarchimor' e 'Mundo Novo'. Consequentemente, ofodice de infestação calculado em número de pupas/fruto apresentou destaque para essas variedades, com valores de 0,53, 0,41, 0,36 e 0,33, respectivamente, enquanto que, para o índice de infestação baseado no número de pupas/peso de frutos, foram superiores 'Icatu Vermelho' (0,49) e 'CatuaíVermelho' (0,39). A variedade 'Robusta' (C. canephora) apresentou valores reduzidos de peso de frutos, número de pupas e índices de infestação (ambos com 0,01). Dos 21.000 frutos coletados durante o experimento, foram obtidas 6.584 pupas, das quais emergiram 5.134 adultos de moscas-das-frutas. Deste total, 75,6% corresponderam a Ceratitis capitata(Wied.),7,4% aAnastrepha spp (grupo fraterculus) e 17,0% aLonchaeidae. Também emergiram 20 adultos do parasitóideDoryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) (Hym.: Braconidae ).
ADSORPTIVE BEHAVIOUR OF HERBICIDES IN BRAZILIAN SOILS

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT The adsorptive behaviour of 1 4 C-paraquat, 1 4 C-diuron and 1 4 C-2,4-D at six different concentrations was studied in three soils through the Freundlich' s adsorption and desorption isotherms. Paraquat was the most adsorbed by the soils, independently of the concentration. The percentage of its retention was ever higherthan 90% for all soils. Diuron presented intermediate adsorption among the three herbicides. The redution of the . organic matter by oxidation with H2 O2 affected very little the retention of paraquat by the soils. On the other hand, diuron was very little adsorbed by all the oxidized soils. However, the reduction of organic contenthad negative influence on the 2,4-D adsorption only in the soil with the highest organic content. The extent of soil adsorptiondesorption of each herbicide was related mainly with the chemical characteristics of these compounds.

RESUMO Avaliou-se a preferência para oviposição (teste com livre chance de escolha) e antibiose à Zabrotes subfasciatus (Boh., 1833) em 14 genótipos de Phaseolus vulgaris, sendo sete linhagens portadoras da proteína arcelina (Arc-1, Arc-2, Arc-3, Arc-4, Raz-55, Raz-56 e Raz-59) e sete cultivares sem essa proteína (IAC-Maravilha, IAC-Una, IAC-Bico de Ouro, lAC-Carioca, lAC-Carioca Aruã, lAC-Carioca Pyatã elAC-Carioca Akytã). De acordo com os resultados, o inseto apresentou alta preferência para oviposição em relação a Arc-2, Arc-4, lAC-Maravilha, IAC-Una, lAC-Carioca Pyatã e lAC-Carioca Akytã em relação a Arc-1, Raz-55, Raz-56, Raz-59 e lAC-Carioca Aruã. Apenas os genótipos com a proteína arcelina apresentaram resistência do tipo antibiose, uma vez que prolongaram o período de ovo a adulto e reduziram a emergência de Z. subfasciatus (< 20%). No entanto, Arc-3 e Arc-4 foram poucos eficientes na redução da progênie da praga.

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer um sistema de manejo integrado para o controle da broca-doscitros Diploschema rotundicolle, através da catação manual de ramos atacados na época da oviposição do inseto (controle cultural), associada ao fungo Metarhizium anisopliae (controle biológico). A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em pomar comercial de Citrus sinensis da variedade Natal, com 18 anos de idade e que apresentava alto índice de infestação da praga. Foi comparada em condições de campo, em 1989, a eficiência do controle cultural realizado pelo produtor com o da equipe de pesquisa, assim como o efeito da associação dos 2 métodos (cultural e biológico). O fungo foi aplicado mediante a introdução de lagartas de Galleria mellonella infectadas (inseto vetor), no interior do canal aberto pela larva da broca-dos-citros. Os resultados das catações manuais realizadas pela equipe de pesquisadores, assim como o controle biológico com o fungo, foram eficazes no controle de larvas de D. rotundicolle. Já o controle cultural realizado pelo citricultor não foi eficiente.

Published: February 2025

RESUMO Um estudo do desenvolvimento de Gonipterus scutellatus Gyllenhal, 1833 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae ) foi realizado em laboratório, utilizando-se Eucalyptus viminalis como hospedeiro, quatro temperaturas diferentes (18, 20, 22 e 24 ºC), U.R. 70±10% e fotofase de 12 horas. A influência da temperatura foi verificada e os limiares de temperatura mínima obtidos foram: 9,16 ºC, para o estágio de ovo; 0,08 ºC, para o estágio de larva e 8,60 ºC, para prepupa e pupa. As constantes térmicas determinadas foram 109,32 ºD; 271,36 ºD e 518,04 ºD para ovo, larva e prepupa e pupa, respectivamente. Essas exigências térmicas sugerem a existência de duas gerações ao ano, número que é confirmado por observações de campo.
