Aspectos polêmicos da tutela de urgência cautelar concedida nos termos do art. 20-b, §1º da Lei nº 11.101/2005
Authors: Botta Flávia , D’Orio Dantas Rodrigo
Published: April 2024

The Law 14.112/2020 brought significant changes to the Law on Judicial Reorganization and Bankruptcy, expressly allowing the use of conciliation or mediation prior to judicial recovery proceedings as pre-insolvency mechanisms to encourage debt negotiation between companies in early stages of distress and their creditors, aiming to avoid the filing of judicial recovery actions. To ensure a negotiation environment between the parties, it admitted the possibility for the debtor to obtain urgent precautionary measures provided for in Article 305 and following of the Civil Procedure Code, to suspend executions against them proposed for up to 60 days, for attempting composition with their creditors, pursuant to Article 20-B, §1 of the Judicial Reorganization Law. However, the innovation of the law brought numerous other challenges to its interpreter. This article seeks to address the issue created about which creditors may be affected by the precautionary measure, whether the effects of the anticipation of the stay period bind all creditors of the company in crisis or only those invited to participate in the prior negotiation procedure, whether the 60-day period is extendable, and how to ensure that the precautionary measure is not used solely to delay debt payment and/or to harm creditors. The proposal of this article is to understand the objectives, limits, and contours of the pre-trial precautionary measure in judicial recovery processes through a systematic interpretation of the Civil Procedure Code in relation to the Judicial Reorganization Law and Law 13,140/2025.

Authors: Marques Manso Adriano
Published: April 2024

This paper addresses the utility of the no-indemnity clause and its reception in Brazilian law, both legislatively and jurisprudentially. Additionally, it examines paradigmatic works dedicated to the topic, progressing towards more recent studies aimed at identifying the requirements and limitations proposed for the validity of the clause. The article analyzes the boundaries concerning violations of public order and mandatory norms, including protection of life and physical integrity, fraud or gross negligence, limitation/exoneration of the duty to indemnify, and economic balance of the contract. The objective is to provide doctrinal and jurisprudential elements and foundation for the analysis of the validity of a clause intended to be stipulated or accepted within the scope of business transactions in the corporate sector.
A vedação à negociação de valores mobiliários por conflito de interesses no contexto de oferta pública: reflexões sobre a interpretação e o alcance do artigo 54 da Resolução CVM nº 160/2022
Authors: Mafra Ricardo , Ramos Dias Maria , Brandão Caio , Antunes Érica
Published: April 2024

This article has the purpose of analyzing the interpretation and reach of article 54 of CVM’s Resolution No. 160/2022, which establishes the prohibition of negotiation, by intermediaries, consultants and sellers, of securities of the same issuer and type as those offered in a public offering of securities. To that end, the paper examines the many changes implemented in the provision throughout the years, demonstrating that their goal was to adjust the reach of the rule to its fundamental purpose of avoiding conflict of interests and use of privileged information. The study concludes that, despite the fact that the changes already implemented in the wording of the provision have adjusted its scope and reach, new changes are necessary to address situations in which there is no relevant risk of conflict of interests or use of privileged information by consultants and intermediaries of the offering.
Os efeitos societários do “Caso Paola Carosella”
Authors: Reichmann Seixas Antonio Eduardo , Coppla Mann Rodrigo , Montefusco Mendes Pesso Rodrigo a
Published: April 2024

The argentine chef and former judge on the television show “Masterchef Brasil”, Paola Carosella, sparked controversy with the revelation of a supposed “business strategy” that would have resulted in her acquiring shares from her former partners in the restaurant “Arturito”, in São Paulo. Hoping for a hypothetical break with the other members, Paola would have adopted a risky maneuver in the management of the company: “banking” the devaluation of the restaurant, in order to buy the shares of the other partners. It is assumed, from her statements in an interview with journalist Ana Paula Padrão in 2022, that Paola achieved her goal, thus generating negative repercussions. After the controversy, the argentine had to clarify the situation publicly. The episode raises questions about the duties of partners and directors in limited companies, highlighting possible breaches of loyalty and contractual obligations. In view of this, the article proposes an analysis divided into two parts: the first, discusses potential breaches of directors’ duties and obligations, while, the second, addresses preventive measures that could have been adopted to mitigate such situations. This research aims not only to understand merely similar cases, but also to encourage business practices that promote legal certainty in corporate relations, highlighting, in this regard, the importance of specialized legal advice, both from a preventive and reactive point of view.
Proteção aos investidores e eticidade no mercado de capitais: análise do PL nº 2.925/2023
Authors: Martins Proença José Marcelo
Published: April 2024

Brazil has historically faced difficulties in ensuring compensatory protection for its investors in corporate law and the capital market. These difficulties were identified in a recent OECD report and impact confidence in the capital market, acting as a deterrent to new investments. To change this situation, Bill 2925/2023 was proposed, suggesting substantial changes to Law 6.404/76 and Law 6.385/76. Among the main changes are the creation of new attributions for the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), changes in liability actions against administrators and controllers, the creation of a new collective action within the capital market, and changes in the legal framework of corporate arbitration, among other points. This article seeks to interpret Bill 2925/2023 in light of current legislation and to provide a critical analysis of the proposed provisions, considering their potential to address current barriers to compensatory protection for investors and confidence in the Brazilian capital market.
Os Fundos de Investimento em Cadeias Produtivas Agroindustriais (Fiagro) e a problemática da exploração econômica de imóveis rurais por estrangeiros no Brasil
Authors: de Oliveira Castro Rogério Alessandre , Branquinho do Carmo Pedro
Published: April 2024

This article aims to analyze the Investment Funds in Agroindustrial Chains (Fiagro) as an alternative legal structure to promote the private agribusiness financing system and, mainly, the problem of their use in Brazil for the economic exploitation of rural properties by foreigners. Law no. 14,130/2021, mostly aimed at private financing of agribusiness through access to the volume of resources available in the capital market, brought the possibility for Fiagro to invest in rural properties (i.e. acquire and lease), which directly influences the problem presented. In theory, foreigners can be shareholders in a Fiagro and, through it, explore rural properties in Brazil. It is under this premise, therefore, that this article intends to analyze, using the deductive method, the problem surrounding the acquisition of rural properties by foreigners in Brazil in order to, from the perspective of the introduction of Fiagro, as well as the possibility of elimination or at least mitigation of the restrictions imposed by Law no. 5,709/91 and CF/88 through this instrument.

Authors: De Freitas Melo Cynthia , Vieira da Cunha Dharana , Moreira Costa Icaro , Huet Borges de Arruda Gabriel , Feitosa Araújo Danielle , Lins de Araújo Neto João
Published: April 2024

Objectives: Several studies highlight benefits of palliative care for patients with lifethreatening illnesses, especially in terms of pain control and improving life quality. However, there is still research gap, particularly in the Brazilian context, regarding its ability to reduce costs associated with unnecessary invasive tests and procedures often invested in dysthanasia patients, thereby relieving the burden on the healthcare system. Given this scenario, the objective was to determine whether there is a significant difference in healthcare costs between cancer patients receiving palliative care and those in dysthanasia. Method: Documentary research, analyzing 94 medical records of patients who died from cancer in a hospital, divided into two groups: 47 in palliative care and 47 in dysthanasia. The groups had their average costs compared by surveying all tests and procedures recorded in the last 30 days of each patient’s life, with values scored based on the price table of the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde). Results: Patients receiving curative care in dysthanasia incurred an average cost of 2,316.92 Brazilian Reais (SD = 3,146.60) for tests and procedures in the last 30 days of life. Patients in palliative care had an average cost of 945.40 Brazilian Reais (SD = 2,508.01). There is a statistically significant difference in the invested values between patients in palliative care and those in dysthanasia (U = 620.00; Z = -4.334; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Implementing palliative care can be considered an effective strategy for reducing hospital costs, leading to significant savings within the healthcare system.

POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF Dioscorea alata (WATER YAM) EXTRACT ON TRAMADOL-TREATED WISTAR ALBINO RATS' GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM.
Authors: OMORODION N.T. , NWABANA B.K.
Published: April 2024

It has long been recognised that Dioscorea alata (water yam), provides therapeutic benefits. The commonly used analgesic tramadol has been linked to negative effects on the gastrointestinal tract. The researchers looked at how Dioscorea alata (water yam) extract might help the digestive systems of albino rats that had been given tramadol beforehand. A controlled experimental setup was used with twenty-five albino rats split up into five groups (control, negative, positive, and counter groups). Histological investigations assessed the structural and functional changes to the gastrointestinal tissues. Cell damage, oxidative stress, and tissue inflammation were among the parameters that were assessed. The statistical programme for social sciences, or SPSS version 20, was used to analyse the data that was produced. Group 3 rats' body and organ (stomach) weights were significantly lower than those of Group 1. This investigation showed that tramadol inflamed the gastrointestinal tracts of the rats in group 3. On the other hand, it was shown that Dioscorea alata helped to reduce some of these inflammations and changes in tissue architecture. The gastro-intestinal tract of rats in group 3 that were only given Dioscorea alata had some mild inflammatory cells. This study suggests that the extract from Dioscorea alata may lessen tramadol-induced gastrointestinal tissue damage in albino Wistar rats. It is recommended that human subjects be used for further research in order to clarify the underlying processes of these effects, evaluate dose concerns, and analyse the long-term effects of such treatment.

Mechanisms similar to Payment for Environmental Services (PES) to promote socio-environmental development: An analysis based on the case of Alpargatas S/A
Authors: Saturnino Gomes Maria de Lourdes , Lausanne Fontgalland Isabel
Published: April 2024

The objective of this work is to analyze the mechanisms of actions inspired by the approach of Payments for Environmental Services (PES) as a promotion for socio-environmental development by the private sector based on a case study of Alpargatas S/A. The research was carried out in the bibliographic and documentary modality. The document analysis of the data was for the years 2021 and 2022, when the company began to publish the Annual Sustainability Report as a transparency and governance strategy. For documental analysis of the management instruments, it was carried out in search of evidence of mechanisms similar to those of PES. Thus, under the lens of analysis from the social perspective, the company acts in the promotion of education, inclusion and income generation, considered by the organization as structural aspects of society. Under the lens of environmental analysis, it invests in the use of resources through reverse logistics, and in suppliers that are in accordance with the socio-environmental criteria of Alpargatas S/A, in the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), and energy reduction. The company's challenges consist of carbon retention or capture, seeking to offset emissions through the process of reverse logistics, carbon neutrality and carbon offsetting from reforestation in the Amazon. As far as water sources are concerned, there is no surface water abstraction. There is no water withdrawal in an area of water stress.

Published: April 2024

The politicization of the disease led to misinformation and the use of unproven treatments, such as the “COVID Kit”. The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) took important measures, including management and planning, health risk control, regulation, monitoring of suspected and confirmed cases, as well as information, communication and health education. Therefore, the general objective of this research is to demonstrate how the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) acted in the face of self-medication in the context of COVID-19. To this end, a literature review was carried out over the last five years on self-medication, pandemics, health surveillance, using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Manuals from the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization Inclusion criteria were adopted, such as articles published in Portuguese or English, primary studies and literature reviews, while studies that did not meet the general objective of the work and publications prior to 2019 were excluded. Regarding the results, ANVISA played an important role in the control and regulation of medicines during the pandemic, classifying chloroquine as a special control medicine and carrying out more than 30 thousand inspections to ensure compliance with clinical protocols to combat the disease. Finally, the pandemic brought challenges for health surveillance professionals, in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus, especially regarding the inappropriate use of medicines and other products subject to health assessment.

Published: April 2024

Prior to the development of the ophthalmoscope, macular oedema remained mostly unknown. Macular oedema is caused by fluid buildup in the retinal layers around the fovea. It causes vision loss by changing the functional cell connection in the retina and stimulating an inflammatory reparative response. The clinical profile, aetiology, and varied types of Macular Oedema are hence the focus of research, and also to investigate the aetiology of macular oedema as well as the various forms of macular oedema in patients attending Krishna Hospital in Karad. The male to female ratio among the 60 participants was 2.53:1. Macular oedema is the major cause for loss in vision which is common vitreo retinal diseases, with diabetes being the most prevalent cause (35% of cases) in our study. Its early detection and treatment are critical for preventing blindness. It is consequently critical to understand the aetiology, pattern, and chronicity of macular oedema in order to customize treatment and monitor response to it.

Published: April 2024

Stingless bee propolis is known to contain a variety of bioactive compounds, including phenolic and flavonoids, which have been linked to its antibacterial properties. Nevertheless, the phytochemical compositions of stingless bee propolis are significantly influenced by a complex interplay of multiple factors such as geographical origin, floral source, and bee species. This study aimed to assess the physicochemical properties, phytochemical contents, and antibacterial activity of propolis from different stingless bee species found in the same environment and ecological system. The propolis samples obtained from Heterotrigona itama, Geniotrigona thoracica and Tetrigona apicalis were subjected to physicochemical analysis to determine the pH, moisture, lipid, resin, and wax contents. The total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were measured by Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric and aluminium chloride methods, respectively. The antibacterial activity was determined using the agar well diffusion method against four Gram-positive bacteria, including Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Streptococcus mutans, and Staphylococcus aureus. The physicochemical analysis of the propolis samples yielded the following results: moisture (12.17-16.45%), lipid (2.95-9.48%), resin (39.00-51.00%), wax (26.50-37.00%), and pH (5.07-5.61). Results revealed that propolis produced by G. thoracica displayed significantly higher moisture (16.45±0.38%), and resin contents (51.00±1.41%), as well as significantly lower percentage of lipid (2.95±0.12%), and wax content (26.50±0.71%). Similarly, G. thoracica propolis extract exhibited significantly higher TPC (200.70±0.06mg/mL GAE) and TFC (141.60±3.63mg/mL QE) values compared to the other propolis samples. Additionally, G. thoracica propolis extract was significantly active against B. cereus and M. luteus with inhibition zones of 15.00 and 16.00, respectively, and minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of 390.63μg/mL. A strong correlation was found between resin content, TPC and antibacterial activity of propolis. This study indicated that the presence of high resin content in propolis resulted in a high concentration of phenolic compounds, which contributed significantly to its antibacterial activities. Furthermore, the research highlighted the species-dependent effect of propolis on its physicochemical characteristics, phytochemical composition, and antibacterial properties. The observed antibacterial efficacy of G. thoracica propolis suggested that the propolis extract held promise as an alternative treatment option against bacterial infections. Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the specific phenolic compounds that could contribute to its antibacterial properties.

Published: April 2024

A severe auto-immune disease that destroys the body's joints and may render a person physically incapable is rheumatoid arthritis. In Ayurveda, herbs have been used to cure a wide range of illnesses. Herbal medicines are widely available and have fewer side effects. As a result, many people find herbal treatments to be intriguing. The Thuja orientalis is a valuable plant for Chinese and Indian medicine. The leaves of Thuja orientalis have long been used in traditional medicine to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, The current study investigates the anti-arthritic mechanism and phytochemical evaluations of methanolic extract of Thuja orientalis leaves. Researchers employed rats that had Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA)-induced arthritis to test the anti-arthritic potential of methanol extracts from Thuja orientalis. Among other things, we have examined paw edoema, body mass index, locomotor activity, haematological observations, biochemical assessment, arthritic score, radiography, etc. Rats were given 0.05ml of FCA subcutaneously to cause arthritis. Four groups of arthritic rats and one group of normal rats, each with six animals, were created. The arthritic rats in Groups IV and V got 200mg per kg and 400mg per kg of thuja orientalis extract, respectively. Diclofenac sodium (10mg per kg) was given as a routine medication to Groups III of the arthritic rats, respectively, and CMC (1ml/kg) was given to Group I of the normal animals. The disease control groups were Group II respectively. Paw volumes were measured using a plethysmometer at 1, 7, 14, 21 days. When compared to arthritis control rats, the Thuja orientalis extract (200 and 400mg/kg orally) significantly (p<0.05, p<0.01) decreased the size of the paws and changed the body weight in CFA rats at day 21. In statistical analysis, all data were reported as mean SEM. The mean values of the test groups and the control group were compared using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett's test. The results of the current investigation showed that a methanol extract from Thuja orientalis leaves may have anti-arthritic properties.

Inspection, which is a unique procedural and forensic activity, is an important element of the preparatory proceedings, affecting its entire course and requires thoroughness, reliability and full commitment from those conducting this key activity. Improper recording of the scene of the accident at work may distort the final conclusions and lead the preparatory proceedings to the wrong track, to ultimately make it difficult for the prosecutor or the court, and often even impossible, to make findings consistent with the actual state of affairs. This work, divided into three parts, deals with the problem of accidents at work. It refers to an extremely important procedural and forensic activity, which is the inspection of places of this type of events. It covers the issue of inspection in genere as well as inspection in specie. It also covers the process of documenting the results of the inspection, and, in the final part, formulates de lege ferenda conclusions regarding the reform of the prosecutors’ training program aimed at increasing pragmatism. The first part presents the issues related to the definition of an accident at work, as well as the criminal law classification of accident events and the subjects of such acts.

This article deals with the issue of the protection of the child as a party to an agreement for a gift of real estate. Even though this issue is recognized in the doctrine of law and in jurisdiction, it has not been comprehensively studied yet. The starting point for the discussion in the article is the resolution of the Supreme Court of 30 April 1977 (III CZP 73/76) which classifies the acquisition of real estate that is free from obligations towards the donor or third parties as an act of ordinary management of the child’s property. The author distinguishes between the cases in which the child is the donee, occurring far more frequently in practice, and those in which the child is the donor of real estate, so it is the child’s property that is to be reduced by such an important asset. The author refers to examples of judicial decisions concerning both situations. Other important issues analysed in the study are the tasks of a notary public drawing up an agreement for a gift of real estate. Furthermore, the author highlights a case in which the child is only a co-owner of the property to be donated.

The author emphasizes possible irregularities which may occur while performing special operations that make use of such a complex and complicated investigative activity. Policemen and secret service agents must use extreme caution while evaluating the degree of reliability of information which is intended to become the factual base for implementing the institution referred to in art.19a of the Police Act and in other rules about competencies. In many cases courts of law disqualified the evidence obtained this way because of the lack of sufficient verification of the attribute of reliability of the information collected. In addition, the Author has joined the opinions presented in the literature on the subject which postulates de lege ferenda a possibility of implementing controlled delivery or accepting or giving a material or personal benefit for fighting criminality. While working on the text presented to the reader, the Author held unique conversations with undercover agents whose daily routine is special operations. The conclusions resulting therefrom have been placed in the article. Undoubtedly, they will contribute to better understanding of the institution of controlled buy and controlled “bribe”. The indicated element of this paper constitutes an added value to the output of the doctrine.
Transferring Digital Artworks on Online Market Platforms
Authors: Juhász Ágnes , Sztermen Orsolya Lili
Published: April 2024

By writing this paper, the authors intended to answer questions raised by the transfer of digital artworks in the online space. At the beginning of the study, the basic expressions, including NFT digital artwork, will be explained. Then, it will be examined how these new forms of artwork can be treated by civil law. Although NFTs change hands daily, their legal nature, i.e. if they shall be deemed as things in the civil law sense, is unclear. If NFTs are treated as things, they can be a subject of ownership, and the provisions on the transfer of ownership rights shall be applied, which raises several further questions. According to another approach, NFTs embody the right to dispose, while there are other opinions as to which NFTs, following the model of bank account money, shall be deemed as claims facilitating the application of the provisions of the law of obligations. After reviewing the different approaches to the legal nature of NFTs, features of online auctions of NFT artworks will be introduced. Then, it will be examined if the platforms enabling online auctions fall under the scope of the recently adopted Digital Market Act and if so, which rules of the Act are applicable for them.
like a dog
Authors: Samblanet Lauren
Published: April 2024

Taking its cues from the New Narrative writing movement, like a dog considers how sexual identity is morphed, hidden, and denied by cultural forces like film, pornography, rape culture, and sexual semiotics. The speaker of like a dog writes about her sexuality, sexual trauma, and relationships in the epistolary form to explore how the personal becomes collective and how overt sexuality is necessary for questioning dominant ideologies. The intimacy (or perhaps voyeurism) that is opened through the epistolary form is balanced with commentary on the films of Lars von Trier, primarily Nymphomaniac, as a way to move away from the speaker’s experiences and into the larger social forces that seek to define us.

Amidst these letters are images from a handwritten journal where blood, hair, vaginal fluids, and other bodily residues are used to direct the shape and content of the writing surrounding them. The tactility of the journal delivers the reader to the body, not as an intellectualized object, but as the physical, messy, oozing force that it is.

Neither fiction nor nonfiction, and inhabiting a realm between gossip and scholarly film analysis, like a dog exists in a liminal zone that offers the speaker a site to rip away the layers of cultural conditioning surrounding sexuality and relationships, and to peek at what lies beneath. This interrogation of identity may not lead to answers but the speaker of like a dog is able to finally hear her own voice and to begin the work of rebuilding an identity that blooms from within.

Authors: Konyalilar Nil , Şengöz Ayşe
Published: April 2024

Bu araştırmanın amacı havayolu işletmelerinden hizmet alan turistlerin işletmeler tarafından gerçekleştirilen hizmet telafilerine karşı memnuniyet ve sadakat düzeylerinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmada, işletme faaliyetinin ekonomik yönlerini tetikleyen müşteri memnuniyeti ve müşteri sadakatinin öncülleri, havayolu işletmesi için müşteri şikâyetlerinin ele alınması perspektifinde incelenmiştir. Araştırmada hizmet telafisi ölçeği; özür, incelik, telafi ve tepki hızı olmak üzere dört alt boyutta incelenmektedir. Ayrıca araştırma modelinde hizmet telafisi memnuniyeti ve müşteri sadakati ölçekleri kullanılmaktadır. Araştırmanın evreni havayolu işletmelerinden hizmet alan turistlerdir. Araştırma kapsamında geliştirilen hipotezlerin testi için regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre hizmet telafisi ölçeği alt faktörlerinden özür ve telafinin memnuniyeti pozitif yönde etkilediği ancak incelik ve tepki hızının memnuniyeti etkilemediği tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan araştırmanın sonuçlarına dayanarak, yanıt verme süresi, şikâyet çözümünün mükemmelliği ve şikâyete yanıt vermenin; işletmenin ticari faaliyetlerinin gelecekteki ekonomik yönlerine katkı sağlayan müşteri memnuniyeti ve müşteri sadakati üzerinde pozitif bir etkiye sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
A Synergic Model for STEAM Learning in Sciences (First High School Stage)
Authors: Bukovska Svetla
Published: April 2024

The article presents information about what the synergistic learning model is when studying complex systems such as the education system. Information is also presented on what STEAM education is, as a more developed version of STEM education. The results of tasks included in external assessment in natural sciences – biology and targeted education for the first high school stage are presented, meeting the set conditions for two groups of students intensively studying a foreign language and without intensive foreign language study. The sample is representative of the country, but not representative of the regions, and includes 2,682 students. From the test, only individual tasks that correspond to the synergistic model are included, and the length of the tests for the three years is 15 tasks – 13 with a selectable answer and 2 with a free answer. The results of the single trial test show that the tasks have good statistical characteristics. There is a statistically significant difference in student achievement in favor of those with intensive foreign language study.
O ICOPE-OMS e o IVCF-20: observações críticas sobre o Manual de Avaliação Multidimensional da Pessoa Idosa para a Atenção Primária à Saúde

Published: April 2024

O rápido envelhecimento populacional impulsiona iniciativas com o objetivo de otimizar a saúde da população idosa em todo o mundo. Recentemente, no Brasil, foi publicado pelo Conselho Nacional dos Secretários de Saúde (CONASS) o Manual de Avaliação Multidimensional da Pessoa Idosa, que propõe a adoção combinada e em larga escala da ferramenta de triagem do ICOPE da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e do instrumento Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico-Funcional-20 (IVCF-20) para definir linhas de cuidado à pessoa idosa. Embora iniciativas dessa natureza sejam prementes, os instrumentos propostos ainda não têm validação adequada na população brasileira, e a sua utilização com o objetivo de balizar diretrizes em saúde em todo o território nacional parece precipitada e arriscada. Diante disso, propõe-se um debate amplo e urgente entre os especialistas da área, com o objetivo de planejar políticas de saúde pública eficazes e seguras para a população idosa brasileira.

Published: April 2024

Objetivo. Establecer la capacidad como hospedante de once cultivares de frijol negro más extendidos en la provincia Mayabeque y determinar su límite de tolerancia. Materiales y métodos. Para la preparación del inóculo se utilizaron raíces de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L., var Cambell-28) infestadas con Meloidogyne incognita, en macetas de 1 kg de capacidad con una mezcla de suelo ferrasol éutrico y estiércol vacuno como abono orgánico (en proporción 1:1). Se establecieron siete tratamientos y un testigo (sin inocular), los niveles poblacionales fueron 0.125; 0.25; 1; 4; 16 y 64 J2/gramo de suelo. Se calcularon los factores de reproducción (FR) e índice de reproducción (IR) de cada genotipo, evaluando la resistencia y el efecto de densidades poblacionales del nematodo sobre la masa foliar de cada genotipo evaluado. Los datos se procesaron través del paquete estadístico R y se graficaron. Resultados. Se verificó que los cultivares BAT-304, BAT-306, CUFIG-48, CUL-156, Tomeguin-93, PL-8, P-248-1, Caujeri-2170, Milagro Villareño y Güira-89, fueron susceptibles a M. incognita (FR≥1), mientras que Triunfo-70 fue resistente. BAT-306, tuvo menor límite de tolerancia (LT) (0,002 J2 /g de suelo y Triunfo-70 el más alto (0.75). La mayor pérdida de masa foliar (85%) la alcanzo BAT-306 y la menor Triunfo-70 (20%). Conclusión. Los cultivares CUFIG-48, CUL-156, Tomeguin-93, PL-8, P-248-1, Caujeri-2170, Milagro Villareño y Guira-89 fueron susceptibles a M. incognita.
