ABSTRACT Bemisia tabaci is a cosmopolitan pest responsible for causing harm to crops in the agricultural hub of Petrolina in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. We investigated the lethal and sublethal effects of vapors from essential oils obtained through hydrodistillation of the peels of four species of Citrus and the latex from Mangifera indica (var. “rosa” and “espada”) on B. tabaci. The chemical analysis by Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry of the oils led to the identification of 71 constituents, with limonene as the major component of the Citrus oils and terpinolene as the major component of the M. indica oils. B. tabaci was more susceptible to Citrus aurantiifolia (LC50 = 0.70 µL L-1 air) and C. limon (LC50 = 1.77 µL L-1 air) oils, which had the same level of toxicity. Citrus and M. indica oils also led to a reduction in the fecundity of the pest. The lethal and sublethal action of the constituents linalool, α-terpineol, α-pinene, β-pinene, terpinolene and limonene is also discussed. The toxicity of the oils investigated herein associated with the reduction in fecundity is a considerable advantage in the management of B. tabaci. However, for practical use of these oils as a novel insecticide to proceed, further research is required to address safety issues for human health and determine the formulation to improve the insecticidal potency, stability and cost-benefit ratio.

ABSTRACT The characterization of the plant root system is of great importance for the understanding of its contribution to soil shear resistance, constituting an important tool for decision making in soil bioengineering works. The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and distribution characteristics of the root system of Paspalum millegrana Schrad. grass in Entisol using Digital Imaging Processing (DIP). The data were obtained by opening a soil pit to expose the root system of Paspalum grass up to 1.70 m depth. The profile wall and volumetric ring methods were used to collect quantitative information of the root system. The SAFIRA software and the ArcMAP software belonging to the ArcGIS suite were used for image processing. The profile wall method showed that Paspalum grass has a large volume of roots in the first 0.40 m to 1.30 m soil depth. It was observed that the root length and volume of Paspalum grass reach depths beyond 1.70 m, which is important to increase soil resistance to erosion processes. The profile wall method when compared to the volumetric ring method proved to be more efficient to understand the behavior of the Paspalum grass root system since it enables an assessment of its spatial distribution with better detailing.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT The adequate ratio in the supply of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) for each phenological growth stage of melon is fundamental for its growth and development with the maximization of the dry mass partition between the vegetative and reproductive parts. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of N and K concentrations in two phenological growth stages (vegetative and reproductive stage) of melon and obtain the best N:K ratio for each one. In the first stage, four concentrations of N (8, 11, 14 and 17 mmol L-1) and two concentrations of K (4 and 5 mmol L-1) were evaluated in a randomized block design in a 4 × 2 factorial scheme with five replicates. In the second stage, in a 2 × 2 factorial scheme, the combinations of the two concentrations of N that generated the best characteristics in the previous stage and two concentrations of K (4.5 and 9.0 mmol L-1) were evaluated. The increase of the N concentration in the vegetative stage promoted the increase of the N, P and S content of leaves and the reduction of K, Ca and Mg. Moreover, it increased the number of leaves, the height of the plant (vertically tutored) and the leaf area. Therefore, 17:5 mmol L-1 was considered as the best N:K ratio for the vegetative stage. In the second stage, there was no effect of N and K concentrations on leaf area, yield and fruit quality. So, 14:4.5 mmol L-1 was considered as the best N:K ratio for the reproductive stage.

ABSTRACT One-fifth of the world's population consumes too little zinc (Zn) causing deficiencies that can damage cells, stunt growth, and decrease immune response. This study evaluated the effect of time on the priming of beet seeds, in solutions enriched with Zn, on physiology, growth, production, and root biofortification. Two greenhouse experiments were conducted during spring 2015 and autumn 2016. In each experiment, 24 treatments were tested which comprised various combinations of three Zn concentrations (0, 10, and 30 mg mL-1), two Zn sources (sulphate and chloride), and four time periods (12, 16, 20, and 24 h), arranged in a randomised block design with four replicates. The concentration of Zn, mainly as sulphate, affected all parameters evaluated in the beet plants, such as fresh and dry root mass, photosynthesis, and root Zn concentration (biofortification). Compared to the control, fresh root mass increased 70 and 100 g per plant with 10 mg mL-1 of Zn during the experiments in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The same concentration for 16 h produced the highest Zn concentration in the roots, achieving 121 and 42 mg kg-1 in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Priming seeds in solutions enriched with Zn, thus, benefited the physiological response of the beet plants by promoting increases in growth, production, and biofortification of beet roots. Therefore, this method can be used to biofortify beet plants agronomically, regardless of the Zn source.

ABSTRACT Vegetable cultivation stands out for intensive use of agricultural inputs due to high nutritional requirements of plants within a short period and their high susceptibility to pests and diseases. This study aimed to identify the main factors responsible for changes in pseudo-total and bioavailable contents of Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in soils under intensive vegetable cultivation. Soil samples were collected from 146 sites in Petrópolis (RJ), Brazil, in 2017. The samples were collected at a depth of 0-20 cm in family farm systems during vegetable production period. Pseudo-total contents of toxic elements were determined by the EPA 3050B method. Geochemical fractionation procedure was used based on the BCR method. Pollution indices were also calculated. In general, vegetable producing areas presented low contamination by Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn, and Ni, except for Cd, which showed severe contamination. In areas with the lowest slopes, most of the toxic elements showed increasing contents, reflecting relief influence. Overall, inadequate soil management, intensive application of phosphate, potassium, and organic fertilization, and relief were the most influencing parameters on the enrichment and bioavailability of toxic elements in the soil.

ABSTRACT Considering the lack of technical information on the water depth and nitrogen fertilization via fertigation in protected cultivation for bell pepper production in northern Brazil, this paper aimed to study the soil water tensions under different nitrogen doses for the cultivation of bell pepper in protected environment. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Igarapé-Açu School Farm of the Federal Rural University of the Amazon, at 1.0 x 0.50 m spacing, using the experimental design of randomized blocks in a 5x4 factorial scheme, with three replicates. The treatments consisted of five soil water tensions (15, 25, 35, 45 and 65 kPa) and four nitrogen doses (0, 135, 265 and 395 kg ha-1). There was interaction between soil water tension and nitrogen doses only for nitrogen use efficiency, and the best value was obtained with the combination between soil water tension of 15 kPa and nitrogen dose of 135 kg ha-1. Total number of fruits, fruit length and fruit diameter showed significant differences only as a function of soil water tensions. Production per plant, total yield and water use efficiency were statistically significant for soil water tensions and nitrogen doses. Therefore, for the conditions in which this study was carried out, it is recommended to apply a soil water tension of 15 kPa and nitrogen dose of 265 kg ha-1 for bell pepper cultivation in protected environment.

Authors: RONCHI CLÁUDIO PAGOTTO , MIRANDA FELIPE RODRIGUES
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Nonuniform flowering leads to uneven ripening of fruits, which impairs harvesting efficiency and the quality of the coffee. The aim of this study was to determine the water deficit level required to break flower bud dormancy of Coffea arabica and to evaluate its effects on gas exchange, photosynthetic pigment levels, coffee yield, and fruit maturation. After a growth period of 18 months in 200 L pots maintained under greenhouse conditions, water deficit treatments were imposed by withholding watering from plants exhibiting at least a 60% rate of "E4 stage" flower buds. When five groups of six coffee plants reached the pre-dawn leaf water potential (Ψwpd) of -0.04, -0.65, -1.43, -1.96, and -2.82 MPa, the leaf gas exchange was measured and leaf disks were collected to quantify the photosynthetic pigment levels, after which, watering was resumed. The rate of opened flowers increased with the reduction of Ypd based on the mathematical model, Y = 67.064 + 20.660 x ln(-Ψwpd). The leaf gas exchange was strongly affected by water deficit levels, without any alterations in the photosynthetic pigment levels. Coffee yield was not affected by the treatments but the ripe stages of cherries increased slightly with the reduction in Ψwpd. The water deficit level applied at the pre-flowering stage determined the percentage of flowering in C. arabica.

ABSTRACT In the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil due to the qualitative and quantitative scarcity of water resources, the use of saline water should be considered as an alternative to expand irrigated agriculture. However, the use of waters with high levels of salts depends on management practices that minimize deleterious effects on plants. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of irrigation with water of increasing salinity and fertilization with phosphorus on the postharvest physicochemical composition of fresh fruits of West Indian cherry, cv. ‘BRS 366 Jaburu’. The research was carried out in a protected environment, in lysimeters with Neossolo Regolítico Psamitico Típico (Entisol) of clay loam texture, using a randomized block design, in a 5x2 factorial scheme with three replicates and one plant per plot, relative to five levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity (0.6; 1.4; 2.2; 3.0 and 3.8 dS m-1) and two phosphorus doses [100 and 140% of the recommendation of Musser. Increase in water salinity reduced fruit size and fresh mass formation, but increased soluble solids contents and titratable acidity in the pulp of West Indian cherry fruits. Phosphate fertilization, regardless of dose, stimulated the formation of fresh mass of West Indian cherry fruits. Water salinity inhibited the formation of ascorbic acid in West Indian cherry fruits, and the highest value was observed in plants irrigated with 0.6 dS m-1 water and fertilized with a dose of 100% of the recommendation of P2O5.

ABSTRACT Information on irrigation management is essential in a production system for the commercial cultivation of ornamental pineapple in pots. As such, this work evaluated the effects of irrigation interval on the growth and production of the crop in pots. The experiment was carried out from 16/07/2015 to 21/05/2016 in a greenhouse located in Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomised, with five treatments, four replications and four plants per plot. The treatments consisted of irrigation intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days. The plants were grown in one-litre pots, fertilised with slow release fertiliser and subjected to supplementary drip irrigation. The following variables were analysed at the end of the cycle (402 days): number of leaves; length and width of the 'D' leaf; diameter of the rosette; plant height; rate of flowering; length and diameter of the peduncle, syncarp and crown; crown to syncarp ratio; and percentage of commercial plants. The irrigation interval influenced the number of leaves, length of the 'D' leaf, diameter of the rosette, plant height, rate of flowering and percentage of commercial plants. Irrigating every two days resulted in water savings, increased leaf growth and a high rate of flowering, and the greatest percentage of commercial plants. Irrigating at intervals of between four and 10 days, increased water wastage, and reduced leaf growth, the rate of flowering and the percentage of commercial plants. The shortest irrigation interval is therefore the most recommended for cultivation in pots.

ABSTRACT Naturally-colored cotton fiber has received attention from breeding programs in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil due to an increased interest in its fibers. Therefore, this study aimed to select genotypes of colored cotton fiber for agronomic and technological fiber characteristics for the Brazilian semi-arid conditions. The experiment was carried out in two environments (Patos-PB and Apodi-RN) in Brazil during the 2016 growing season. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with four replications. Treatments consisted of eleven colored fiber genotypes and three controls (BRS Topázio, BRS Rubi, and BRS Verde). The following traits were assessed: seed cotton yield (SCY, kg ha-1), lint percentage (LP, %), lint length (LEN, mm), lint strength (STR, gf tex-1), and lint micronaire (MIC, µg in-1). The data were submitted to individual and joint variance analyses, and means were grouped by the Scott and Knott (1974) test at 0.05 probability. Genotypes showed variability in all traits, which allows genetic gains in subsequent cycles of selection. The genotypes BRS Topázio, CNPA 2002 10245, and CNPA 2002 10327 presented the best estimates for the assessed traits, thus they can be selected for future studies in cotton breeding programs in the semiarid region.

Authors: OLIVEIRA ANDREYA KALYANA DE , COELHO MARIA DE FATIMA BARBOSA , DIÓGENES FRANCISCO ESIO PORTO
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Amburana cearensis is a species rich in coumarin, a phenolic compound that is a natural inhibitor of the germination process. In Caatinga, this species occurs in areas where melons are cultivated, and even after deforestation, they may be present in the soil seed bank. The aim of this study was to investigate the allelopathic activity of A. cearensis aqueous seed extract fractions on the emergence of melons and to carry out photochemical analyses of the extracts. Four experiments were carried out based on the fractionation of the seed extract: E1 - hexane fraction, E2 - dichloromethane fraction, E3 - ethyl acetate fraction, and E4 - aqueous fraction. The statistical design was completely randomized, with four replicates, each having 20 seeds. The treatments were composed of different extract concentrations (1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, and 0%) and phytochemical prospecting of the extracts obtained during fractionation was performed. The extracts obtained from the hexane fraction affected the emergence and initial development of melon seedlings. The dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and aqueous extracts had negative effects on the formation of dry matter, shoots, and roots, with the highest concentrations prompting the most negative effects. Coumarin was present in all extracts, but its concentration was highest in the hexane fraction, which was consequently characterized as highly phytotoxic during the bioassays.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status and gastrointestinal changes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive analysis of 39 children with ASD aged between three and ten years old, registered in the participating association. Nutritional status was evaluated by body mass index/age and weight/age, according to the guidelines from the World Health Organization. In order to investigate whether gastrointestinal alterations occurred, the interviewees answered a questionnaire about the presence of these symptoms within the last 30 days. In order to evaluate food consumption, a 24-hour recall questionnaire was applied and the food reported were grouped as: gluten sources, casein and ultra-processed sources. For the statistical analysis, Epi-Info software version 7.2 was used. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the variables associated with gastrointestinal alterations. Results: There was a high prevalence of overweight children with autism spectrum disorder (64.1%). No child was underweight. Thirty-four children (84.2%) had gastrointestinal symptoms. Consumption of gluten was associated with gastrointestinal symptoms (β=0.38; 95%CI 0.07-0.75; p=0.02). Conclusions: The high prevalence of being overweight should be considered during the follow-up visits of children with ASD. The influence of gluten consumption on the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms was observed in this study, and the causes involved in these alterations need to be further investigated.

Published: March 2020

Abstract There are more than 150 different rare genetic kidney diseases. They can be classified according to diagnostic findings as (i) disorders of growth and structure, (ii) glomerular diseases, (iii) tubular, and (iv) metabolic diseases. In recent years, there has been a shift of paradigm in this field. Molecular testing has become more accessible, our understanding of the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of these diseases has evolved, and new therapeutic strategies have become more available. Therefore, the role of nephrologists has progressively shifted from a mere spectator to an active player, part of a multidisciplinary team in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. This article provides an overview of the recent advances in rare hereditary kidney disorders by discussing the genetic aspects, clinical manifestations, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches of some of these disorders, named familial focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, Fabry nephropathy, and MYH-9 related disorder.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Introduction: Several advantages have been established regarding the efficiency of self-ligating brackets (SL). In spite of some controversy surrounding this question in the literature, clinical results confirm that “arch development” requires fewer extractions. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare changes in the transverse and sagittal planes in patients treated with conventional ligating brackets (CL)as well as in patients treated with SL brackets and oversized arches. Methods: A sample was selected from a pool of 300 consecutive cases treated by a single clinician: 51 patients with SL brackets and oversized wires, and 55 with CL brackets. These two groups were compared with a control group of 20 patients. All plaster models were scanned and dental landmarks were measured to identify changes from commencement (T0) to conclusion (T1) of treatment. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed for changes in the lower incisor (IMPA) and the first lower molar distal angulation (MAng). Intraoperator reliability was tested with linear regression analysis. To assure all groups were comparable at T0, an ANOVA test with a 95%confidence interval (CI) was performed for all values. To assess changes from T0 to T1 in all groups, a Student’s t-test with 95% CI was used. Finally, results from the three groups were compared using an ANOVA-test (95% CI) and a post-hoc test. Results: Increases in all the transverse variables were recorded in the two groups treated (SL and CL), except for the lower intercanine distance in the SL group. IMPA difference from T0 to T1 was higher in the CL group, and molar distal angulation (MAng) took place in the SL group. Conclusions: Self-ligating brackets with oversized arches and conventional ligating brackets showed increases in all variables in the transverse plane, except for the SL group at the mandibular intercanine distance. In comparison with the CL group, fewer different IMPA values were observed in the SL group, in which distal molar angulation occurred.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to determine orthodontists’, periodontists’, and laypersons’ perception of smile esthetics, regarding the presence of different levels of gingival recession on the maxillary left canine. Material and Methods: Two close-up smile images (frontal and oblique) of a white female were selected for this study. The images were digitally altered to create different levels of gingival recession on maxillary left canine, in 0.5-mm increments. They were randomly arranged into a photo album that was shown to 135 evaluators: 45 orthodontists, 45 periodontists, and 45 laypersons. Each evaluator was asked to rate the smile attractiveness, using to a visual analog scale. Data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA, Tukey’s post-hoc test, and Student t-test. Results: According to the orthodontists and periodontists, all levels of recession were considered as unesthetic in both types of images. According to the laypersons, gingival recession > 1.5 mm in the frontal image and > 1.0 mm in the oblique image were considered unesthetic. Conclusion: The results showed that the presence of unilateral gingival recession on maxillary canines may negatively influence smile attractiveness, depending on the evaluator type and the level of the recession.
Transverse maxillary deficiency: treatment alternatives in face of early skeletal maturation
Authors: Andrucioli Marcela Cristina Damião , Matsumoto Mírian Aiko Nakane
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Transverse deficiencies should be a priority in orthodontic treatment, and should be corrected as soon as diagnosed, to restore the correct transverse relationship between maxilla and mandible and, consequently, normal maxillary growth. Corrections may be performed at the skeletal level, by opening the midpalatal suture, or by dentoalveolar expansion. The choice of a treatment alternative depends on certain factors, such as age, sex, degree of maxillary hypoplasia and maturation of the midpalatal suture. Thus, the present study discusses different treatment approaches to correct maxillary hypoplasia in patients with advanced skeletal maturation.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To qualitatively and quantitatively assess the color changes effect and the color stability of the resin infiltrant on white spot lesions (WSLs), in comparison with nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) toothpaste and microabrasion. Methods: WSLs were artificially created on sixty human premolars enamel surfaces and randomly assigned to equal four groups (n = 15 each): nano-HA toothpaste, microabrasion (Opalusture), resin infiltrant (Icon) treatment, or artificial saliva (control group). The color change (ΔE) of each specimen was measured by dental spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade) at different time points: baseline, after WSLs’ creation, after application of treatments, one month, three and six months after treatments application. Results: The ΔE value did not differ significantly for the four groups at baseline measurement before treatment (p> 0.05). Icon resin infiltrant improved the color of WSLs significantly immediately after its application, giving the lowest ΔE value (3.00 ± 0.59), when compared to other treatments (p< 0.001). There were no significant changes in ΔE (p> 0.05) for all groups during the follow up intervals (one month, three and six months after treatments application). Conclusion: Resin infiltrant can improve the color of WSLs and restore the natural appearance of enamel better than nano-HA toothpaste and microabrasion.

RESUMO Objetivos investigar o itinerário terapêutico de crianças com microcefalia associada ao Zika na rede de atenção à saúde; e descrever a vivência das mães em relação ao itinerário percorrido para o tratamento de seus filhos. Método Estudo norteado pela História Oral Temática, realizado em instituição pública filantrópica do município de João Pessoa-Paraíba. Foram entrevistadas dez mães de crianças com microcefalia entre abril e agosto de 2017. O material empírico foi submetido à análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados Os profissionais de saúde têm dificuldade para definir o diagnóstico de crianças com microcefalia, e se encontram despreparados para informá-lo aos pais, comprometendo o itinerário terapêutico dessas crianças. As experiências das mães em busca de tratamento para seus filhos são marcadas por estresse, medo, decepção e pela frágil rede de apoio familiar, resultando em sobrecarga materna. Conclusão e implicações para a prática A reestruturação dos fluxos e contrafluxos da Rede de Atenção à Saúde às crianças com microcefalia e seus familiares torna-se imprescindível, assim como, o fortalecimento da rede de apoio às mães.

Poder Punitivo e Feminismo: percursos da criminologia feminista no Brasil
Authors: Martins Fernanda , Gauer Ruth M. C.
Published: March 2020

Resumo O presente trabalho visa a apontar o que se reconhece como alguns percursos iniciais do pensamento da “criminologia feminista” no Brasil. Ao estabelecer esse caminho, formula-se a seguinte questão: qual é o percurso desenvolvido para construção da criminologia feminista que se desenvolve no Brasil e suas possíveis relações com o poder punitivo? A pesquisa aponta na direção de que tais debates, no que se refere a gênero e à violência contra a mulher, ainda permanecem bastante conectados com aqueles desenvolvidos no início dos anos 90, a saber, tomados pela leitura de direitos humanos das mulheres e pelo uso positivo e negativo da tutela penal e acesso à justiça - como paradigmas de análise sobre os aportes feministas -, ainda bastante restritos às questões de violência doméstica.

Published: March 2020

Resumo Os conflitos urbanos inscrevem tensões próprias dos seus contextos de ocorrência, capazes de revelar contradições e apontar sentidos das disputas, quando observados como parte da lógica capitalista de produção do espaço. Colocam como desafio à pesquisa acadêmica, adentrar esses processos em uma práxis de alinhamento entre a produção de conhecimento e a ação política, pela chave do direito à cidade. Com o recurso à observação participante, conforme referencial aportado por Burawoy (1998) são discutidos três conflitos, ainda em processo, nomeados aqui como Centro de Abastecimento de Feira de Santana, Horto Bela Vista e Elephant and Castle, inseridos, respectivamente, em Feira de Santana - BA, Salvador - BA e Londres, desencadeados a partir de projetos urbanos. Em operação analítica, o artigo problematiza os conflitos em seus contextos, na busca de refletir sobre os recursos jurídicos aportados, formas de juridicidades produzidas e sentido das lutas pelo direito à cidade, valendo-se de um referencial teórico trazido da ciência política, dos estudos culturais e da teoria crítica do Direito. Em sintonia com as perspectivas teóricas e metodológicas adotadas, acena para a compreensão dos processos conflitivos contemporâneos em cidades distintas em complexidade e escala e afirma sentidos convergentes das lutas de sujeitos coletivos de direitos pelo direito à cidade.

Os fantasmas se divertem: propriedade privada, expropriação e interdição ao direito à cidade
Authors: Petrella Guilherme Moreira , Prieto Gustavo Francisco Teixeira
Published: March 2020

Resumo O artigo sugere uma reflexão a partir de duas problemáticas relacionadas: a centralidade da propriedade privada na produção do espaço e o diálogo com as questões trazidas pelo presente dossiê - o “direito à cidade”, as “tensões contemporâneas” e os “horizontes utópicos” -, o qual que se estabelece através da concepção da violência como espinha dorsal da reprodução capitalista. Analisa a centralidade da propriedade privada a partir da instituição de suas formas e dos seus títulos jurídicos como fantasmagoria, pondo luz na urbanização pelas formas de expropriação que interditam a realização do direito à cidade e da emergência do devir da sociedade urbana.
Tessituras com, contra e além do direito à cidade: por uma justiça dissensual nos enredamentos da despossessão
Authors: Bonadio Mariana Galacini
Published: March 2020

Resumo Considerando o desafio da mediação filosófica com a sociológica para as significações do devir da sociedade urbana, este ensaio busca torcer a noção de direito à cidade especulando sobre distintas operações sócio-históricas e somáticas da despossessão como constituintes do sensível da contemporaneidade. Conjurando distintas pressuposições teóricas sobre os movimentos da dialética justiça/injustiça se alcança a corporeidade como a possibilidade de um direito à cidade assentado em uma justiça dissensual.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to adapt the vigor test methodology of (strong) normal intact seedlings of Amburana cearensis and evaluate efficiency in physiological classification of seed lots. The study was conducted in two stages: morphological characterization of seedlings and physiological analysis of seed lots. To do so, the following tests were carried out: (strong) normal seedlings, germination, emergence, first count, germination speed index, tetrazolium, length of strong normal seedlings, length and dry mass of seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized. The Tukey and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare the results, and the correlation between the variables was analyzed by Spearman and Pearson coefficients. The seedlings of A. cearensis are semi-hypogeal phanerocotylar, with development of normal seedlings on the ninth day after sowing. The vigor test of strong normal seedlings, length of strong normal seedlings, dry matter, and tetrazolium led to physiological classification into different vigor levels. The vigor test of (strong) normal seedlings, the length of strong normal seedlings, and tetrazolium (vigor) were effective for vigor classification of A. cearensis seeds.
Effect of reduced water potential on seed germination of a forest tree: a hydrotime approach
Authors: Daibes Luís Felipe , Cardoso Victor J.M.
Published: March 2020

Abstract: Hydrotime (θH) models provide information on seed tolerance to low water potential and time to germination under different conditions. Here it was evaluated the capacity of graphic and probit model to describe germination parameters and germination times (t) in a tropical legume (Peltophorum dubium). Germination tests were conducted under reduced water potentials (polyethylene glycol solutions from 0 to -1.2 MPa) at 25 °C. Regression lines were applied to investigate the relationship between germination rates (1/t) and water potential for different germination percentages (fractions 10, 30, 50 and 70%). Those regressions were used in the graphic model to calculate θH (1/slope) and determine the base water potential (Ψb) as the point which the line intercepts the x-axis (G% = 0). In the probit model, germination percentages were transformed to probit units and plotted against Ψb-values to describe germination response under a single regression line. Values for θH varied from 1.8 to 2.0 MPa day in both models, and Ψb showed a normal distribution, as presupposed by the probit model. Predicted germination times (t10 and t50) mostly fell within observed times, thus showing biological relevance of the models to describe the effects of water potential on seed germination.

Abstract: Non-destructive and high throughput methods have been developed for seed quality evaluation. The aim of this study was to relate parameters obtained from the free and automated analysis of digital radiographs of hybrid melons’ seeds to their seeds’ physiological potential. Seeds of three hybrid melon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars from commercial lot samples were used. Radiographic images of the seeds were obtained, from which area, perimeter, circularity, relative density, integrated density and seed filling measurements were generated by means of a macro (PhenoXray) developed for ImageJ® software. After the X-ray test, seed samples were submitted to the germination test, from which variables related to the physiological quality of the seeds were obtained. Variability between lots was observed for both physical and physiological characteristics. Results showed that the use of the PhenoXray macro allows large-scale phenotyping of seed radiographs in a simple, fast, consistent and completely free way. The methodology is efficient in obtaining morphometric and tissue integrity data of melon seeds and the generated parameters are closely related to physiological attributes of seed quality.
Contraditório e ampla defesa: direitos? O que dizem os processos de apuração de ato infracional entre os anos 2014 e 2017 em Goiânia, Goiás

Resumo Este artigo apresenta resultados parciais da pesquisa realizada em Goiânia, no estado de Goiás, entre 2014 e 2017, sobre o direito ao contraditório e à ampla defesa do adolescente em conflito com a lei. A investigação partiu do pressuposto de que os adolescentes submetidos à medida de internação em Goiânia não tiveram garantidos seus direitos ao contraditório e à ampla defesa em seus julgamentos. Para responder a essa hipótese, utilizamos diferentes metodologias, buscando compreender a dinâmica da apuração do ato infracional, desde seu início, com a atuação do sistema de segurança, até a fase final no âmbito da justiça especializada. Confirmamos nosso argumento ao observar duas situações: o recrudescimento de um processo seletivo que orienta o sistema de segurança a exercer maior controle e punição das camadas mais pobres da população; e a atuação do sistema de justiça especial, que conjuga paradoxalmente uma racionalidade própria da justiça penal na condução do processo com um julgamento subjetivo, permeado por valores morais, não rompendo, dessa maneira, com o paradigma da situação irregular.
A tecnologia a serviço da segurança pública: caso PMSC mobile
Authors: Ferreira Carolina Cutrupi , Corrales Beatriz Rossi , Cote Larissa Costa , Teixeira Mariana Toledo
Published: March 2020

Resumo Este trabalho objetiva analisar como a adoção de inovações tecnológicas pode afetar o desempenho de atividades ligadas às práticas e aos procedimentos realizados pelos órgãos do sistema de justiça criminal. Adota-se a metodologia qualitativa exploratória por meio da abordagem do estudo de caso acerca da implementação da ferramenta tecnológica PMSC Mobile pela Polícia Militar do estado de Santa Catarina (PMSC). Os resultados revelam que tal ferramenta contribui positivamente para a racionalização de registro de ocorrências policiais, para a melhor alocação de recursos financeiros e humanos e para a maior precisão dos registros de informações criminais. Contudo, a escassa regulamentação legal acerca das atribuições dos órgãos de segurança pública e a ausência de articulação entre os órgãos policiais civil e militar limitam o aprofundamento de medidas integrativas e o compartilhamento de informações em matéria de controle da criminalidade. O estudo traz duas contribuições principais: (i) descrever uma prática inovadora na área de segurança pública e (ii) ampliar o debate sobre os efeitos dessa ferramenta nas atividades desempenhadas por outros órgãos do sistema de justiça e na própria instrução processual penal.

Authors: Oliveira Fabiana Luci de , Cunha Luciana Gross
Published: March 2020

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a produção de dados sobre as atividades do Judiciário, verificando suas limitações em termos de confiabilidade e instrumentalidade. Dentro da grande área Direito e Tecnologia, o foco principal dos estudos tem sido o impacto da tecnologia nas profissões jurídicas e nos serviços prestados pelos operadores da Justiça. Este artigo joga luz sobre o uso da tecnologia na gestão das atividades jurisdicionais do Estado, mais especificamente no Poder Judiciário, a fim de propor aspectos a serem incorporados para a transformação das estatísticas judiciais em informações capazes de subsidiar políticas públicas que tenham como finalidade não apenas a gestão judicial, mas, sobretudo, o aperfeiçoamento da prestação jurisdicional.
Observatórios enquanto redes sociotécnicas: a dinâmica da associação para atuação na análise de políticas e sistemas de saúde
Authors: Paim Marcele Carneiro , Santos Maria Ligia Rangel
Published: March 2020

Notou-se o uso crescente de observatórios para acompanhamento e monitoramento de sistemas e políticas de saúde. À luz da Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR), foi proposta uma descrição e análise das associações e controvérsias que compõem os observatórios de saúde enquanto redes sociotécnicas em contextos de políticas e análises de sistemas de saúde. Trata-se de um trabalho com abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo um estudo de casos múltiplos e representações gráficas de diagramas de cartografia. Os resultados indicam que o referencial teórico da TAR e sua Cartografia de Controvérsias favoreceram a compreensão da formação de redes de forma ampla e plural, bem como ratificaram a complexidade de associações nesses espaços de natureza política. Concluiu-se com uma reflexão sobre a opção metodológica de repensar o social que reconsidera as redes e relações em políticas de saúde, propiciadas por mudanças tecnológicas e mediadas pelas tecnologias de informação e comunicação.
Violência, saúde e adoecimento dos corpos na comarca de Vila Rica, século XVIII
Authors: Rosa Maria Cristina , Santos Marcone Rodrigues da Silva e
Published: March 2020

Resumo Estudos sobre violência no século XVIII abrangem especialmente questões relacionadas à justiça e à criminalidade, mas não à saúde. A pesquisa objetivou compreender como os corpos nas Minas Gerais setecentistas eram afetados por atos violentos. Foram investigados autos de devassas do termo de Vila Rica pertencentes ao acervo do Arquivo Histórico do Museu da Inconfidência. Os resultados mostraram crimes causados por motivos distintos e de tipologias diferentes, predominando os crimes contra o corpo, com consequentes lesões corporais provocadas predominantemente por objetos/instrumentos perfurocortantes. Os homens foram os mais acometidos, sendo a cabeça a principal região atingida. Atos criminosos e violentos, muito comuns nessa sociedade, interferiam na saúde e no adoecimento dos corpos.
