FRENTE AL CAMBIO DE PARADIGMA EN EL MERCOSUR: UNA RECAPITULACIÓN DE SUS ÚLTIMOS VEINTE AÑOS
Authors: Castañeda Oré Priscila , Francisco Villarreal Julio
Published: May 2019

Objetivo: Este documento comprende la revisión bibliográfica de las relaciones políticas y comerciales a intramuros y extramuros del Mercosur (tanto en relación con sus miembros como respecto a sus socios comerciales), desde su génesis hasta las postrimerías del gobierno de Dilma Roussef y Cristina Kirchner. En ese sentido, se intentará evidenciar cuan provechoso pudo haber resultado que tanto Argentina como los demás socios del bloque, adscribieran a la estrategia geopolítica en virtud de la cual, el socio mayor del bloque, Brasil, rigió su estrategia político-comercial con el bloque desde los inicios de este hasta la conclusión del gobierno de referencia. Método: Análisis descriptivo en función de revisión bibliográfica dirigida al análisis de las estrategias políticas y comerciales adoptadas por los países miembros del Mercosur. Se ponderó, preeminentemente, el examen de la política económica de Brasil y, en menor medida, de la Argentina, desde que los mentados constituyen las principales economías del esquema de integración de referencia. Resultados: Los resultados evidencian que la estrategia adoptada por Brasil, propia de un global trader pero con priorización del interés nacional, tuvo efectos positivos no solo a nivel comercial, sino también a nivel político; mientras que los demás países del bloque basaron sus estrategias en intereses económicos poco definidos e inestables, según la administración de turno, cuyas implicancias debilitan la cooperación. Conclusión: Se sostendrá en el presente trabajo que el no haber seguido la estrategia brasileña, por parte de los miembros menores del Mercosur, constituyó un error de carácter económico y político.
CARTERA DEL SISTEMA PRIVADO DE PENSIONES (SPP) PERUANO 1993-2017: UNA REVISIÓN GENERAL
Authors: Romero Cerna José Salvador
Published: May 2019

Objetivo: El artículo aporta al debate de las políticas públicas diversos planteamientos sobre el rol del SPP y su reforma, resaltando la importancia de los fondos del SPP en el sistema financiero peruano y se analiza la composición general o estructura relativa de la cartera de inversiones del SPP durante el período 1993-2017, usando dos clasificaciones: (1) inversiones locales (renta fija y renta variable)y en el exterior, e (2) inversiones locales en el gobierno, sector financiero y sector real. Método: El enfoque de la investigación es descriptivo. Se ha utilizado las estadísticas del SPP que publica la Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP (SBS) de fin de período. Resultados: Se han identificado dos etapas durante el período analizado, asociadas al nivel de actividad económica (ciclo económico y crisis financieras) y a las reformas y modificaciones normativas (inversiones elegibles y límites de inversión) efectuadas por los organismos reguladores del gobierno. Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que la oferta de fondos del SPP al sistema financiero peruano ha significado una redistribución del ahorro a las alternativas de inversión (ahorro) del SPP reguladas por el gobierno, y que se ha canalizado de manera preferente al segmento corporativo, primero a través del sector bancario y luego a través del mercado de valores, y al gobierno.

Published: May 2019

Los sistemas de información contable, sean estos sistemas manuales o computarizados, determinan que el nivel de acoplamiento e interacción es una tarea crucial en la etapa del análisis si se desea diseñar un sistema de información contable que luego de su implementación, resulte efectivo. Identificamos los principales componentes del sistema de información contable, tales como; el giro de negocio, los procesos de negocio, las normas técnico-contables, el plan de cuentas, el personal, las políticas contables, el organigrama, el patrón de operaciones, el manual de funciones, el manual de procedimientos contables, los libros o sistema de registros contables, los formularios o formatos o documentación, el control interno, el software, el hardware, los reportes e informes financieros. Los principales componentes, tanto internos como los del entorno, están en permanente interacción y constituyen fuerzas que interactúan con la organización afectando directamente la operatividad del sistema de información contable. Aunque no representan la totalidad de ellos, ni tienen la misma relevancia en todo tipo de empresa, pero el nivel de acoplamiento entre ellos es muy importante y afecta directamente la información contable.
Strategies to Reduce Recurrent Shocks Due to Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients with an Implanted Cardioverter-Defibrillator
Authors: Back Steven H , Kowey Peter R
Published: May 2019

Ventricular arrhythmias are a therapeutic challenge, owing to their relatively unpredictable and deadly nature. Many patients are treated with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for either primary or secondary prevention of ventricular arrhythmias, meaning those who are at high risk of versus those who have experienced ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest, respectively. Despite the life-saving benefit, ICD comes with the risk of recurrent shocks for both appropriate and inappropriate rhythms. Patients with recurrent shocks have a poor quality of life and increased mortality rates. In this article, we review data for optimal device settings, medical management and radiofrequency ablation strategies to minimise the frequency of ICD shock, with a focus on treatment of ventricular arrhythmias, to reduce patient morbidity and mortality, and to maximise wellbeing and quality of life.

Descomposición, recomposición: para una historia del fragmento y el collage en las artes de América Latina
Authors: Singler Christoph
Published: May 2019

Este artículo rescata la historia olvidada del collage en la América Latina desde las vanguardias históricas hasta la época contemporánea. Considera que este olvido se debe a que se privilegió el paradigma de la síntesis en detrimento de la fragmentación entendida aquí en tanto proceso analítico de la imagen. El collage aparece en América Latina en el fotomontaje, técnica libre de rigideces conceptuales que se va afianzando a partir de los años cuarenta. En los últimos tres decenios se constata su auge, coincidente con el fracaso del Estado, la fe en su funcionamiento y la ideología que lo sostenía. El collage es solidario con las estéticas contemporáneas de fragmentación y explora posibilidades expresivas nuevas en contextos políticos y sociales de intensa conflictividad, relacionados con la memoria y la violencia conduciendo al desmontaje del imaginario colectivo y de las ficciones modernistas.

Ética dos direitos humanos. Uma abertura teológica
Authors: Duque João Manuel
Published: May 2019

O artigo pretende responder à questão da fundamentação dos Direitos Humanos. Para tal, recorre à mediação da ética, considerando esta dimensão da ação humana e compreensão do mundo como fonte de humanidade e dos correspondentes direitos. Nesse contexto, contudo, a diversidade de propostas fundamentadores implicam uma análise crítica. Através dessa análise, percebe-se que a questão ética nos leva para lá do direito, em sentido estrito, abrindo a possibilidade de uma dimensão de gratuidade e de incondicionalidade anterior à própria ética. É nessa dimensão que se insere a experiência do amor, como possível “direito” humano não sujeito a preceitos. É precisamente nesse campo que o excesso evocado permite estabelecer uma relação com a dimensão teológica e, ao mesmo tempo, perceber uma possível ligação entre Direitos Humanos e teologia.
Opressões, Resistências e Direitos Humanos
Authors: Ribeiro de Almeida Junior Antonio

Este artigo examina relações entre Direitos Humanos, racismo, questões de gênero, dentro do contexto das sociedades capitalistas atuais. A perda de radicalidade das esquerdas e sua aproximação com a defesa dos Direitos Humanos é colocada em perspectiva em relação ao avanço das propostas neoliberais que são totalitárias e ambientalmente irresponsáveis. As opressões são pensadas tendo como ponto focal suas três maiores manifestações: capitalismo, racismo e patriarcado.
Perspectivas Teológicas e Históricas a partir da publicação do livro “Direitos Humanos”, de 1978.
Authors: Schiavinato Rodrigo Barbosa
Published: May 2019

Este artigo analisou as perspectivas transcorridas no livro publicado em 1978 pela Edições Paulinas intitulado “Direitos Humanos”, obra capitaneada pela Faculdade de Teologia Nossa Senhora da Assunção. Diversos autores participaram da confecção desta obra e contribuíram com múltiplas facetas referentes à temática dos Direitos Humanos. Verificou-se abordagens teológicas, filosóficas, históricas e sociológicas que percorreram desde aspectos do Evangelho, como aspectos políticos e sociais. O centro do debate e da reflexão decorreu da visão antropológica do ser humano e de como as pressões por direitos norteiam os discursos ideológicos das principais instituições de poder, entre elas, o Estado. Portanto, analisamos o discurso advindo de uma perspectiva teológico/filosófica para compreender a construção da ideia de Direitos Humanos que transparece nestes textos.
Crescimento do emprego industrial local no Brasil: o grau de especialização por intensidade tecnológica importa?
Authors: Gonçalves Eduardo , Saldanha Raphael de Freitas , Almeida Eduardo , Silva André Suriane da
Published: May 2019

RESUMO O objetivo desse artigo é revisitar o debate sobre o grau de especialização e de diversificação industrial e o crescimento do emprego industrial local no Brasil. Por meio de uma matriz de transbordamentos setoriais, o artigo verifica se setores, agrupados por intensidade tecnológica, influenciam o desempenho de grupos industriais desagregados. Utilizam-se técnicas de painel de dados espaciais para controlar efeitos municipais não observados e possível dependência espacial no período 1995-2014. Os principais resultados revelam que especializações em grupos setoriais de baixa tecnologia geram transbordamentos para diversos outros grupos industriais, independentemente do nível de intensidade tecnológica. Os estímulos provenientes de setores de alta tecnologia são menos frequentes, embora também ocorram, dependendo do grupo industrial considerado. Em geral, setores de maior e menor intensidade tecnológica florescem com a presença de externalidades do tipo MAR. Conclui-se que o debate diversificação/especialização pode variar consideravelmente, o que requer políticas industriais e regionais específicas por setores industriais.
Doação organizacional em face ao mercado de órgãos: uma análise do modelo brasileiro de transplantação
Authors: Pauli Jandir
Published: May 2019

Resumo A doação organizacional é o modelo de coordenação econômica da transplantação de órgãos no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a atuação do Sistema Nacional de Transplantes para ampliar o número de doadores e, consequentemente, diminuir a contestação moral imputada em razão da existência da lista de espera. A metodologia seguiu o enfoque qualitativo com análise documental das leis, portarias, normas técnicas disponíveis. A análise mostrou que esse sistema opera com três estratégias: a) criação de uma “economia de incitação”; b) estruturação jurídica e gerencial do sistema em um continuum organizacional e; c) estímulo ao altruísmo como base do modelo de solidariedade social. No balanço crítico dessas estratégias, o estudo sugere a mudança da legislação em relação ao consentimento informado e a reorganização do sistema para promover a ação das comissões intra-hospitalares e otimização da logística de transporte dos órgãos.
Poverty upsurge in 2015 and the rising trend in regional and age inequality among the poor in Brazil
Authors: Rocha Sonia
Published: May 2019

Summary The aim of this article is threefold. Firstly, to present income-based poverty and extreme poverty indicators for 2015, when the macroeconomic crisis led to a generalized deterioration affecting all areas and regions. The second aim is to discuss long-term evolution, emphasizing the period since 2004, when sustained improvement of income indicators as well as convergence of regional and area results began. Considering the period from 2004 to 2014/2015, the third aim is to show that the reduction in poverty and extreme poverty was parallel to increased inequality in poverty regarding two critical aspects: the regional aspect, since inequality among the five regions became higher, thus reinforcing the dichotomy between the North/Northeast versus the Centre-South; the age aspect, because the recent improvements since 2004 have not sufficiently benefited children as to reverse their disadvantaged position, so much so that in 2015 children still had a share in poverty that was twice their share in the total population. The last section concerns policy measures that may reduce the impact of the crisis on the poor.
O trabalho biográfico como fonte de aprendizado: autoeducação e fenomenologia de Goethe
Authors: Bach Junior Jonas
Published: May 2019

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta a proposta do trabalho biográfico como processo de pesquisa e aprendizado. O sujeito imerso em sua própria história de vida realiza uma autotransformação ao intensificar suas forças cognitivas, afetivas e volitivas. O trabalho biográfico revela uma ampla diversidade de aplicação na educação ao pesquisar a biografia do processo educacional, a biografia do aprendizado, a biografia do desenvolvimento próprio, a biografia das ameaças e impasses vividos, a biografia da evolução da personalidade. A fenomenologia de Goethe serve como embasamento metodológico para a pesquisa biográfica, porque trabalha com a transdisciplinaridade e permite uma abordagem no nível da complexidade da biografia humana. A fenomenologia goethiana é uma postura investigativa com o intuito de descobrir padrões típicos e tendências na existência humana, permitindo ao sujeito realizar um processo de autotransformação para a formação da própria identidade.
Educação escolar quilombola no Brasil: uma análise sobre os materiais didáticos produzidos pelos sistemas estaduais de ensino
Authors: Custódio Elivaldo Serrão , Foster Eugénia da Luz Silva
Published: May 2019

RESUMO O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar materiais didáticos de Educação Escolar Quilombola (EEQ) da Educação Básica, produzidos especificamente por diferentes sistemas de ensino estaduais no país, confrontando-os com as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN). O trabalho é resultante de pesquisa de pós-doutoramento em Educação pela Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP), que ocorreu em âmbito nacional no período de 20 de outubro de 2017 a 20 de outubro de 2018. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa documental reflexiva a partir dos estudos de Minayo (2008), Fonseca (2002), Melucci (2005), Bardin (2002), Larchert e Oliveira (2013), Bittencourt (2007), entre outros. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que os materiais didáticos analisados apresentaram uma discussão muito restrita e vaga sobre as categorias de análise escolhidas (conceituação de quilombo; cultura e tradições; mundo do trabalho; terra e território; oralidade e memória), limitando-se, muitas vezes, a abordagens superficiais sobre a historiografia do negro no Brasil. Os resultados apontam ainda que esses materiais didáticos produzidos pelos sistemas de ensino estaduais no país atendem, em parte, aos princípios de uma EEQ de qualidade conforme sugerido pelas DCN (2004), deixando, porém, de observar parte dos fundamentos instituídos nas DCN da EEQ (2012). Além disso, são materiais incipientes com pouca visibilidade e/ou participação das comunidades quilombolas na elaboração e/ou produção desses materiais, assim também como são deficientes na demonstração das variedades e diversidades étnicas dos quilombos existentes em nosso país.
A fotografia na experiência educativa de professores: do olhar e das interpretações
Authors: Vieira Daniele Marques
Published: May 2019

RESUMO Este texto desenvolve um método para pensar a educação como experiência educativa (CONTRERAS; PÉREZ, 2010) com uso da fotografia. Tal elaboração se dá no campo da Pedagogia, sob uma perspectiva inspirada na filosofia (BENJAMIN, 1986; 2012; GADAMER, 2013; ARENDT, 2013), com referentes da fotografia pela dimensão estética (BARTHES, 1980; DUBOIS, 1998; VÁZQUEZ, 2005). Tem como objetivo discutir o constructo teórico de um método que utiliza a fotografia para pensar a experiência educativa de professores. Desenvolve a ideia do sujeito que observa a imagem como receptor e elemento determinante à sua compreensão, situado temporal e espacialmente no decurso do processo histórico, identifica algo no horizonte do vivido observado com o que pode estabelecer diálogo. Apresenta a fotografia como instrumento à análise interpretativa da realidade pelo encontro de horizontes, entendida enquanto objeto da cultura que expressa uma visão sobre a realidade e se constitui em aparato de observação pela possibilidade de gerar interpretações decorrentes daquilo que afeta o sujeito receptor da imagem. Ao interpretar o que vê na fotografia como indícios da prática educativa, o observador aciona sua experiência educativa e realiza o exercício de pensar sobre o vivido e evidenciado na imagem. Destaca-se que a fotografia não constitui mera representação dos referentes que evidencia, mas, enreda mundos em relação, de uma perspectiva histórica e estética.
As histórias em quadrinhos e a Ditadura militar brasileira: a triangulação metodológica como critério investigativo das ideias históricas de jovens brasileiros
Authors: Fronza Marcelo
Published: May 2019

RESUMO Investiga-se como inventariar as histórias em quadrinhos que abordam a Ditadura Militar Brasileira de 1964-1985 que possibilitam mobilizar as dimensões estética, política e cognitiva da cultura histórica (RÜSEN, 2016) dos jovens estudantes brasileiros de escolas públicas. Essa investigação é ligada ao projeto da CAPES Memórias Brasileiras: Conflitos Sociais, denominado Indígenas, Quilombolas e Napalm: uma história da guerrilha do Vale do Ribeira (2015-2019). Parte-se de uma triangulação metodológica fundamentada na compreensão dos processos históricos vinculados à relação entre as estruturas de sentimento (WILLIAMS, 2003) pertencentes a cultura juvenil, a interculturalidade e o novo humanismo (RÜSEN, 2014), e ao princípio da “burdening history” proposto por Bodo von Borries (2016), o qual propõe que o fardo da história pode ser superado pela interpretação multiperspectivada instauradora de controvérsia provida pela autocrítica na teoria da história. Busca-se, a partir do inventário da tipologia das histórias em quadrinhos que narram as experiências históricas relacionadas à Ditadura Militar Brasileira, a criação de um instrumento de investigação que possibilita a construção de uma história em quadrinhos paradidática sobre a Guerrilha do Vale do Ribeira.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT Many watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) diseases are caused by soilborne pathogens in Brazil and worldwide. The goal of this study was to identify and quantify the frequency of phytopathogenic fungi associated with watermelon root rot and vine decline that were also present in the roots of weeds in the major watermelon production regions in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. We collected root samples from 10 of the most prevalent weed species in 16 watermelon producing areas. The plants were identified and their frequencies in the fields were calculated. The fungi found in the weed roots were isolated and the main genera associated with watermelon vine decline were identified. We identified 13 weed species belonging to nine botanical families. The weed species with the highest frequencies found in the field were Amaranthus spinosus (25.0%), Trianthema portulacastrum (18.8%), Commelina sp. (18.8%), and Boerhavia diffusa (12.5%). The fungi Macrophomina, Rhizoctonia, and Monosporascus were isolated from the roots of the weed plants. While Macrophomina was isolated from 12 different types of plants, Rhizoctonia and Monosporascus were isolated from four and two different plant species, respectively.

Authors: Hendges Ana Régia Alves de Araújo , Guimarães Marcelo de Almeida , Silva Júlio César Dovale , Lima Neto Benedito Pereira
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT Intercropping is a management strategy for the sustainability of agricultural systems, and is suitable for the production of vegetables. Kale is predominantly grown singly, but field observations have indicated that this crop has satisfactory productive potential when grown in intercrops with other vegetables. The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic performance and biological efficiency of kale plants intercropped with spice species. The experiment was carried out at the Didactic Horta of the Federal University of Ceará, Fortaleza, state of Ceará, Brazil. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with five replications. The treatments consisted of kale grown singly and intercropped with spice species (chives, coriander, basil, and parsley) and these spice species grown singly. The fresh and dry weights of the kale leaves, and the shoot of the spice species were evaluated. The biological efficiency was evaluated by the land use efficiency index (LUE), relative contribution of the kale crop to the LUE, area time equivalent ratio, and system productivity index. The intercropping of kale with parsley resulted in the highest fresh, and dry weights of kale leaves, showing the highest agronomic efficiency.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT Vegetable production is an impactful activity, characterized by intensive land use, high input demand, and it requires strategic management adoption, especially in sustainable production systems, where the pillars of sustainability (environmental, social and economic) must be respected. In this sense, the objective of this work was to evaluate economic indicators of lettuce production using Caatinga spontaneous species (Calotropis procera: rooster tree) as fertilizer and cultivated in two seasons (spring and fall-winter) in the municipality of Serra Talhada, PE. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, arranged in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with three replications. The first factor was the biomass amounts of green manure (5.4, 8.8, 12.2 and 15.6 t ha-1 on a dry basis); and the second was their incorporation times in the soil (0, 10, 20 and 30 days before lettuce transplanting). The green mass yield, production costs, rate of return, and net profit margin were determined. The amount 15.6 t ha-1 of C. procera allowed higher profitability to the organic production of lettuce, and it is considered ideal to incorporate the green manure 11 (spring) and 15 (fall-winter) days before transplanting the vegetable. The spring crop promoted a superior economic return to the fall-winter planting, demonstrating economic viability even in the smallest amount of C. procera.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT The efficiency of biological products combined with biological fertilization for controlling Pratylenchus brachyurus in soybean crops, and effects of these treatments on soybean crops were evaluate. A greenhouse experiment was conducted at the Mato Grosso State University, in Brazil, using a randomized block design with a 10×2 factorial arrangement, and four replications. The treatments consisted of Trichoderma asperellum, B. subtilis, Purpureocillium lilacinum, B. subtilis + T. asperellum, B. subtilis + P. lilacinum, T. asperellum + P. lilacinum, B. subtilis + T. asperellum + P. lilacinum and abamectin, and Controls with, and without nematodes. Nematode population, plant height, stem base diameter, and soil microbiological characteristics (at 60 and 120 days after sowing - DAS), shoot dry weight (60 DAS), and number of pods per plant, and grain yield (120 DAS) were evaluated. The treatments were efficient for the control of phytonematodes at 60 DAS; the efficiency of treatments with biological products increased when combined with biological fertilization. The biological products were more efficient for controlling the nematodes than abamectin at 120 DAS; and the percentage of control were higher when they were combined with biological fertilization, in both growing periods. The biological treatments resulted in better agronomic characteristics, and higher number of pods per plant, and grain yield, affecting the plants in the first growing period, and significant interaction with the biological fertilizer for these variables in the second growing period. The interaction between treatments and biological fertilization was significant for soil microbiological characteristics in the second growing period.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT The number of studies on plant compounds with insecticidal activity has increased in recent years, and one of the primary targets of these compounds is leaf-cutter ants, which are considered the most important pests in Brazilian plantations, especially ants of the genus Atta. The objective of this study was to evaluate the toxic activity of the crude extract and fractions of the leaves of Esenbeckia pumila Pohl (Rutaceae) on Artemia salina and Atta sexdens rubropilosa and to perform a phytochemical study of this plant species. The toxicity of the extract and fractions was evaluated by determining the mean lethal concentration (LC50) on A. salina. The insecticidal activity was evaluated by feeding the ants an artificial diet containing the crude extract or fractions, and the results were analyzed using the log-rank test. The substances were isolated by chromatography, and the molecular structure was determined by spectroscopy. In the bioassay with A. salina, the ethanol extract and dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions were highly toxic. The analysis of survival curves indicated that the mortality rate of A. sexdens rubropilosa workers fed different fractions was higher than that of ants fed the control diet, especially the ethyl acetate fraction, with a mean survival time of 3 days and cumulative mortality of 100% on day 21 (p<0.05). The phytochemical study of this plant species allowed isolating the flavonoid rutin and a mixture of the triterpenes α-amyrin, β-amyrin, and lupeol. These results suggest the insecticidal potential of E. pumila on Atta sexdens rubropilosa.

Authors: Silva Fernando Henrique Alves da , Torres Salvador Barros , Carvalho Sara Monaliza Costa , Bai Manuela , Lopes Welder de Araújo Rangel
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the physical and physiological attributes of saved cowpea seeds (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) used in the Brazilian semi-arid area and compared them with certified seed varieties. The study tested 37 saved seed samples from the state of Rio Grande do Norte and two varieties of certified seeds (“BRS Guariba” and “BRS Pujante”) from the production field of Embrapa Products and Market, Petrolina, PE, Brazil. The seeds were tested for moisture, hectoliter weight, weight of 1,000 seeds, and physical purity to evaluate the physical quality. Germination, first germination count, field emergence, emergence rate index, shoot dry mass, and accelerated aging were tested for physiological quality. The saved cowpea seeds showed great differences, suggesting the influence of genetic variability and different growing environments. The use of saved cowpea seeds by small farmers in the semi-arid areas of Northeastern Brazil is impractical, because these seeds have inferior physical and physiological qualities compared to certified cowpea seeds.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of different storage conditions on the physiological and sanitary quality and oil content of castor bean (Ricinus communis) seeds. Seeds of castor bean plants of the Guarani, and IAC-80 cultivars were stored in two environments (cold room, and room conditions), using three package types (multifoliate Kraft paper bag, and polyethylene bag, and polyethylene bag with vacuum at 1 atm). In addition, another storage condition was evaluated: cryopreservation (-196 °C) in foil paper bags. Seed quality was evaluated before storage and at 4, 8, and 12 months after storage by testing their 7-day and 14-day germination, emergence, health, water content, and oil content. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with 7×4 factorial arrangement consisting of seven storage conditions and four evaluation times. Cryopreservation is the ideal condition for maintaining the seed physiological quality of the Ricinus communis cultivars used throughout storage. The oil content of the R. communis seeds decreases, and the incidence of Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. fungi increases throughout storage, regardless of the storage conditions.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT Salinity is prejudicial to plant development, causing different types of damage to species, or even between genotypes of the same species, with the effects being aggravated when combined with other types of stress, such as heat stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of cowpea genotypes (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) to salt stress at different temperatures. Seeds of the Pujante, Epace 10 and Marataoã genotypes were placed on paper rolls (Germitest®) moistened with different salt concentrations of 0.0 (control), 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 dS m-1, and placed in a germination chamber (BOD) at temperatures of 20, 25, 30 and 35°C. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomised design, in a 3 × 4 × 5 scheme of subdivided plots, with four replications per treatment. The variables under analysis were germination percentage, first germination count, shoot and root length, and total seedling dry weight. At temperatures of 30 and 35°C, increases in the salt concentration were more damaging to germination in the Epace 10 and Pujante genotypes, while for the Marataoã genotype, damage occurred at the temperature of 20°C. At 25°C, germination and vigour in the genotypes were higher, with the Pujante genotype proving to be more tolerant to salt stress, whereas Epace 10 and Marataoã were more tolerant to high temperatures. Germination in the cowpea genotypes was more sensitive to salt stress when subjected to heat stress caused by the low temperature of 20°C or high temperature of 35°C.

ABSTRACT Swine wastewater can be used as a biofertilizer and promote significant improvements in soil physical-chemical attributes and yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of swine wastewater application on soil and maize yield. The experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Piauí, in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, from August to November 2015. The experimental design used completely randomized blocks in split-plot scheme, with five doses of swine wastewater (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 m3 ha-1) in the plots and two soil depths (0.20 and 0.40 m) in the subplots, with four replications. Exchangeable contents of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium, electrical conductivity, pH, sum of bases, base saturation, potential acidity and cation exchange capacity, and crop yield were evaluated. Results showed calcium, magnesium, sum of bases and cation exchange capacity increased with elevated levels of swine wastewater. Potassium and sodium contents however decreased with doses of 51.58 and 52.28 m3 ha-1, respectively. Except for potassium and potential acidity, variables showed higher values at the 0-0.20 m depth.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the optimum age at last weighing and compare the goodness of fit of nonlinear models used to fit longitudinal weight-age data to describe the growth pattern of Anglo-Nubian does. Weights of 104 animals from birth to 60 months of age were grouped into 10 age groups at six-month intervals. In each age group, parameters A (asymptotic weight), B (integration constant), and K (maturity index) were estimated using the Brody, Gompertz, logistic, and von Bertalanffy models. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance in a factorial design (10 age groups × 4 nonlinear models). The age group × model interaction was not significant. Mean estimates of A, B, and K were significantly different between age groups up to 30 months (p < 0.05), indicating that the estimated curve is affected by weights taken before this age independent of the model. The values of mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute deviation (MAD), coefficient of determination (R2) and Rate of convergence (RC) at each age group up to 30 months were compared to determine the goodness of fit of nonlinear models. The ranking of fit was logistic, Brody, von Bertalanffy, and Gompertz. The logistic and Brody models respectively estimated the smallest and largest asymptotic weight. Longitudinal weight records taken until 30 months of age are most appropriate for estimating the growth of Anglo-Nubian does using nonlinear models.

ABSTRACT Monosporascus root rot and vine decline (MRRVD) is an important disease in the melon crop in Brazil. In our research, we evaluated the reaction of 45 melon genotypes to M. cannonballus in two successive cropping seasons in a greenhouse. Melon seedlings were transplanted into naturally infested soil. The evaluation of the genotypes was performed after 55 days, using a score scale to group each genotype into one of five classes and to calculate the disease severity index. None of the genotypes showed an immune reaction to M. cannonballus, regardless of the season. In the first cycle, only 28.9% ('AF 464', 'Auraprince', 'DRG 2278', 'Estoril', 'Guaporé', 'Kousto', 'Mabel', 'Magisto', 'Massaï', 'Nectar', '8530', 'RZ 34130' and 'RZ 34292') had a similar reaction to the high resistance to the MRRVD. Most genotypes (66.7%) behaved as moderately resistant while 4.4% were susceptible and none were highly susceptible. Conversely, in the second cycle, no genotype showed a reaction similar to high resistance while 42.2% behaved as moderately resistant, 48.9% as susceptible, and 8.9% as highly susceptible. The severity levels ranged from 7.5 to 60% and 27.5 to 92.5% for the first and second cycles, respectively. The genotypes 'DRG 2278', 'Estoril', 'Guaporé', 'Kousto', 'Mabel', 'Massaï', 'RZ 34130' and 'RZ 34292' were identified as highly resistant and moderately resistant in the first and second cycles of cultivation, respectively. Therefore, these genotypes are promising sources of resistance to M. cannonballus and should be preferred in commercial fields infested with the pathogen.

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in umbilical cord serum of full-term and preterm newborns, in order to assess the nutritional status of both groups in relation to the vitamin and its possible correlation with intrauterine growth. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study conducted with 140 newborns, of which 64 were preterm and 76 were full-term. They did not have any malformations, they came from healthy mothers, who were nonsmokers, and delivered a single baby. Intrauterine growth was evaluated by weight-to-gestational age at birth, using Intergrowth-21st. Thealpha-tocopherol levels of umbilical cord serum were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Results: The mean concentration of alpha-tocopherol in umbilical cord serum for preterm and full-term infants was 263.3±129.5 and 247.0±147.6 µg/dL (p=0.494). In the preterm group, 23% were small for gestational age, whereas in the full-term group, this percentage was only 7% (p=0.017). Low levels of vitamin E were found in 95.3% of preterm infants and 92.1% of full-term infants. There was no correlation between alpha-tocopherol levels and weight to gestational age Z score (p=0.951). Conclusions: No association was found between alpha-tocopherol levels and weight to gestational age at birth. Intrauterine growth restriction was more frequent in preterm infants and most infants had low levels of vitamin E at the time of delivery.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness’ tracking from childhood to adolescence, as well as to test the moderation role of somatic maturation. Methods: Our sample was composed by 375 children (197 boys), with a baseline age between 7 and 10 years old. The children were followed-up over three years. Body mass and stature were measured as anthropometric indicators and were used to estimate maturity status through Moore’s method. Cardiorespiratory fitness was evaluated through 9-minute running test. Body adiposity was estimated through the subcutaneous skinfold method, with measures of triceps and subscapular skinfolds and used as a covariate. Sample was categorized into tertiles. Thereafter, the Kappa (k) coefficient and Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient (LCCC) tests were adopted to verify stability. Dummy variable in regression was used to test moderation effects. All analyses were conducted in Stata 14.0, adopting p<0.05. Results: Cardiorespiratory fitness presented a moderate to low tracking from childhood to adolescence (k=0.294; LCCC=0.458). Moreover, maturity status significantly moderated the association between cardiorespiratory fitness at childhood and adolescence (regardless of cohort and body adiposity) among boys (β=0.644; p=0.003) and role sample (β=0.184; p=0.020), but not girls (-0.217; p=0.413). Conclusions: Tracking of cardiorespiratory fitness from childhood to adolescence is moderate to low in both sexes. Moreover, maturity status moderated the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness at baseline and in adolescence. A lower age at peak height velocity was associated to a greater cardiorespiratory fitness.

Abstract Introduction: The occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after ischemic stroke has been associated to a worse prognosis. There is a lack of Brazilian studies evaluating this issue. This study aimed to describe the impact of AKI after a first-ever ischemic stroke in relation to fatality rate in 30 days. Methods: This was a retrospective hospital-based cohort. We included patients who had their first ischemic stroke between January to December 2015. AKI was defined by an increase of serum creatinine in relation to baseline value at admission ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or a rise in serum creatinine level by 1.5 times the baseline value at any point in the first week after admission. We performed a univariate and multivariate analysis to evaluate the presence of AKI with fatality in 30 days. Results: The final study population (n=214) had mean age of 66.46 ± 13.73 years, 48.1% were men, the mean NIHSS was 6.33 ± 6.27 and 20 (9.3%) presented AKI. Patients with AKI were older, had a higher score on the NIHSS, and had higher creatinine values on hospital discharge. The 30-day mortality was higher in the AKI subgroup compared to non-AKI (35% vs. 6.2%, p < 0.001). AKI was an independent predictor of fatality after an ischemic stroke but limited by severity of stroke (NIHSS). Conclusion: The presence of AKI is an important complication after ischemic stroke. Despite its impact on 30-day fatality, the predictive strength of AKI was limited by the severity of stroke.

ABSTRACT A vast majority of research characterizes organizational politics as an aversive phenomenon and thus recommends exploring the factors that minimize its intensity. This study primarily endeavored to examine the role of high performance work practices (HPWPs) in controlling organizational politics. The moderating influence of Machiavellian personalities on HPWPs- politics was also evaluated. Through a questionnaire survey, 243 responses were obtained from engineers working in a local industrial area of capital city of Pakistan. The results showed an inverse relationship between HPWPs and perceived organizational politics (POP), and the moderating role of Machiavellianism was substantiated. Practical implications are presented based on the study results.

RESUMEN La innovación es un factor clave en el desempeño organizacional. Si bien la teoría estratégica ha proporcionado los referentes para comprender las relaciones entre estas dos variables, aún faltan muchos vacíos por llenar y más validación empírica. El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar cómo se afecta la relación entre la innovación y el desempeño ante la presencia de variables precursoras como la intensidad competitiva y el slack organizacional. El estudio se llevó a cabo mediante una investigación de tipo explicativo y de corte transversal, aplicando un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales a una muestra de pymes bogotanas. Los resultados representan una contribución relevante para la literatura y gestión estratégicas al mostrar que la intensidad competitiva y el slack, inducen la innovación, produciendo un impacto positivo en el desempeño.
