Effects of Citrulline Supplementation on Exercise Performance in Humans: A Review of the Current Literature
Authors: Gonzalez Adam M. , Trexler Eric T.
Published: January 2020

Gonzalez, AM and Trexler, ET. Effects of citrulline supplementation on exercise performance in humans: A review of the current literature. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1480–1495, 2020—L-citrulline, a nonessential amino acid found primarily in watermelon, has recently garnered much attention for its potential to augment L-arginine bioavailability, nitric oxide production, and exercise performance. Over the past decade, L-citrulline has received considerable scientific attention examining potentially ergogenic properties for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance. Thus, the purpose of this article is to summarize the theoretical rationale behind L-citrulline supplementation and to comprehensively review the available scientific evidence assessing the potential ergogenic value of L-citrulline supplementation on vascular function and exercise performance in humans. In addition, research that has investigated the potential synergistic effects of L-citrulline with other dietary ingredients (e.g., arginine, antioxidants, nitrates, and branched-chain amino acids) is reviewed. Oral L-citrulline and citrulline malate supplementation have shown to increase plasma citrulline and arginine concentrations, along with total nitrate and nitrite concentrations. Although blood flow enhancement is a proposed mechanism for the ergogenic potential of L-citrulline, evidence supporting acute improvements in vasodilation and skeletal muscle tissue perfusion after supplementation is scarce and inconsistent. Nevertheless, several studies have reported that L-citrulline supplementation can enhance exercise performance and recovery. Given the positive effects observed from some investigations, future studies should continue to investigate the effects of both acute and chronic supplementation with L-citrulline and citrulline malate on markers of blood flow and exercise performance and should seek to elucidate the mechanism underlying such effects.

Sense or non-sense? a critical discussion of a recent evolutionary–cognitive approach to “folk-economic beliefs”
Authors: Bendixen Theiss
Published: January 2020

Laypeople hold beliefs about economics and policy issues—so-called folk-economic beliefs (FEBs)—that are often wrong or misleading according to professional economists. Here, I critically discuss a recent evolutionary–cognitive approach to understanding folk-economic beliefs. According to this approach (Boyer & Petersen 2018a), some economic beliefs are more prevalent than others, because such beliefs (i.e., folk-economic beliefs) resonate with evolved features of the human mind. I refer to this as the “FEB hypothesis”. A central challenge to the FEB hypothesis, with its heavy reliance on universal cognitive features, is to explain individual and cultural differences in economic beliefs and behavior. This challenge is the starting point for the discussion. Overall, the conclusion of this paper is that the FEB hypothesis relies on unnecessarily strong and controversial theoretical assumptions (e.g., “massive modularity” and the “Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness”), and that it overlooks important findings from adjacent fields, but that the FEB hypothesis, following some modifications inspired by Dual Inheritance Theory, can be integrated with robust findings from the rest of the evolutionary, cognitive, and anthropological sciences, as well as standard political psychology. Based on this discussion, the paper ends with brief reflections on how to correct inaccurate folk-economic beliefs.

Published: January 2020

Abstract This work was carried out to evaluate the effect of fruit ripening stage at harvest (“1/3 ripe” and “3/4 ripe”, respectively with 30% and 75% of red color) and passive modified atmosphere (MA) and active MA (with initial initial low O2 and/or high CO2) on quality of ‘San Andreas’ strawberries, with emphasis on bioactive compounds and metabolites of fermentative metabolism. The treatments evaluated were: control; passive MA [low density polyethylene (LDPE) packaging of 40 µm]; active MA with initial low O2 (1 kPa); active MA with initial high CO2 (30 kPa); and active MA with initial low O2 (1 kPa) and high CO2 (30 kPa). After 14 days of storage (0.5±0.2°C/92±2% RH) followed by two days of shelf life (20±5°C/65±10% RH), fruit weight loss was higher in control fruit. Soluble solids content and titratable acidity were not different between treatments. Fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” were firmer and had less intense red color after storage than fruit harvested “3/4 ripe”. Storage conditions did not affect fruit texture maintenance, but all MA conditions delayed fruit red color evolution, regardless of ripening stage at harvest. Strawberries harvested “1/3 ripe” and stored in active MA with initial high CO2 had lower incidence and severity of decay. In general, total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total antioxidant activity (TAA) were higher in fruit harvested “1/3 ripe”. The metabolites of the fermentative metabolism were higher in fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” and stored in active MA with initial low O2. Fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” had higher values of TPC and TAA and lower incidence of decay after storage. The use of active MA with initial high partial pressure of CO2 preserves the postharvest life of ‘San Andreas’ strawberries, by reducing decay without increasing the metabolites of the fermentative metabolism.

Published: January 2020

Resumo O comportamento da chuva afeta o planejamento e operação dos setores da sociedade. Uma das formas de conhecer o comportamento das chuvas de uma determinada região é por meio da análise das séries históricas de precipitação. O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar e caracterizar o regime pluviométrico do município de Araguaína, com base nas séries históricas de estações pluviométricas da Agência Nacional de águas (ANA). Além disso, são apresentadas informações regionalizadas que podem auxiliar o sistema de gestão do município de Araguaína para os setores que dependem da dinâmica das chuvas em suas tomadas de decisão. Foram selecionadas 5 estações com contribuição de registros de chuva direta no município. De forma geral, constatou-se que o ano hidrológico de Araguaína apresenta sazonalidade bem definida caracterizada por dois períodos: o período seco de maio a setembro, e o chuvoso de outubro a abril. A média de precipitação total anual em toda a área do município é de 1746,97 mm e, em média, 89% da precipitação total anual de Araguaína é registrada no período considerado chuvoso. Por outro lado, pouco mais de 10% do volume precipitado acontece fora dos meses de outubro a abril.

Published: January 2020

Abstract Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) can be source of odorous gases. We analyzed the emission and dispersion of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S), odor indicator, produced during the anaerobic treatment of wastewaters, using WATER9 and AERMOD models for two distinct events: August 2013 and February-March 2014. Data from two WRRF in Brazil were used to feed the model and a statistical data validation was performed, followed by an evaluation of model results regarding H2S emission and dispersion. Daily peak events and averages over the two periods were calculated. Results show a good performance from the model in comparison to the observations. Moreover, odor plumes typically reached 2-4 km from their sources and they may be strongly affected by atmospheric stability/instability conditions in the events analyzed and, in general, only the residences at the vicinity of WRRF were affected by the pollutant odor. Finally, the methodology presented showed to be feasible and realistic for purposes of WRRF planning and management.

Authors: Santos André Gonçalo dos , Campos José Nilson Beserra , Silva Junior Rosiberto Salustiano
Published: January 2020

Abstract Coupling the WRF and NRCS-CN models was assessed as a tool for a flood forecast system. The models were applied to the Paraíba do Meio River basin, located in Alagoas, Brazil. FNL (Final Analysis GFS) data provided by the Global Forecast System model were used as initial conditions for WRF. Precipitations and observed discharges were collected in data collection platforms. Nine microphysics configurations were used to optimize WRF forecast. For hydrological, the automatic calibrations, available in HMS was used to get the optimum CN model parameters. Optimized precipitations Model performance was assessed with the indicators: bias, root-mean-square error, Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient, Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient, Heidke skill score, hit rate and false alarm rate. WRF´s predictive ability for the optimum configuration was satisfactory. The NRCS-CN yielded good results. The predictive ability of the hydrological model was ranked between satisfactory and acceptable. In a flood forecasting step, the coupled model yielded Nash-Sutcliffe of 0.749 and 0.572 for Atalaia and Viçosa basins. Overall, the method showed potential for the development of a flood alert system.

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a variabilidade no TVDI (Temperature-Vegetation Dryness Index) obtido de sensores orbitais com resoluções distintas, em região agrícola no sul do Brasil. Utilizou-se três imagens OLI/TIRS (Operational Land Imager/Thermal Infrared Sensor) do satélite Landsat 8, e 12 imagens MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) do satélite Terra. Dados coletados em campo serviram como base para classificação de imagem OLI/TIRS e mapeamento de áreas de arroz, soja, campos naturais, mata ciliar e solo exposto. O TVDI foi obtido por duas parametrizações em períodos distintos, utilizando as dispersões entre Temperatura de Superfície (TS) e NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). O TVDI obtido para ambos sensores apresentou padrão similar possibilitando diferenciar os alvos. Na média de todas as datas e classes, o TVDI obtido das imagens MODIS foi superior em 0,128 unidades ao TVDI obtido com o OLI/TIRS. Quando utilizado OLI/TIRS há um melhor detalhamento espacial das condições hídricas, mas com menor repetição ao longo da safra; já utilizando o TVDI-MODIS é possível monitorar as condições hídricas em escala regional, com menor detalhamento espacial, mas com maior repetitividade no tempo. O TVDI estimado pelos sensores OLI/TIRS e MODIS, pode ser utilizado de forma conjunta, trazendo informações complementares.

Resumo O metano é o segundo gás de efeito estufa e sua concentração na atmosfera aumentou 259% desde 1750. A média global da fração molar de CH4 atingiu um novo recorde de 1813 ± 2 ppb em 2011. Este trabalho objetiva quantificar a concentração e fluxo de metano no perfil vertical da floresta primária tropical (Floresta Nacional do Tapajós), assim como, determinar a emissão de metano na interface solo-atmosfera durante o período chuvoso e de estiagem para o ano de 2012. Amostras de ar foram coletadas in situ diretamente do solo através do uso de câmaras estáticas e no perfil vertical da floresta em três alturas diferentes (2 m, 16 m e 36 m) e acima da copa (63 m) através do uso da torre micrometeorológica de 65 m. Posteriormente, as amostras de ar foram analisadas por cromatografia gasosa. A concentração de metano na estratificação vertical da vegetação foi de 1,866 ± 0,038 ppm e o fluxo foi ~ 15,50 mg de CH4.m-2 d-1 e a emissão de metano no solo foi 0,45 ± 0,71 mg de CH4 m-2 d-1. Portanto, no período de estudo o ecossistema florestal de terra-firme atuou como fonte de CH4 para atmosfera.
Taxonomic Distinctness of the subterranean fauna from Peruaçu Caves National Park, state of Minas Gerais, eastern Brazil
Authors: Monte Bruno Gabriel Oliveira , Bichuette Maria Elina
Published: January 2020

Abstract: Limiting factors of subterranean environments, high relative air humidity and, especially, permanent darkness, represent ecological filters for organisms and biodiversity patterns of surface and subterranean communities display wide disparities. Subterranean diversity and singularity are, thus, better expressed when the common presence of rare and endemic species are considered. Our study aimed to describe the diversity of the cave fauna from 14 caves from Peruaçu Caves National Park (PCNP), eastern Brazil. We analyzed the regional diversity using the index that includes the average taxonomic distinction (TD - Δ +, AvTD). We recorded 1,674 individuals belonging to 10 Classes and 237 morphotypes, 11 troglobitic and two troglomorphic and possible troglobites. Greatest species abundance (N=330) and richness (s=76) were recorded at Lapa do Cipó cave, followed by Gruta Olhos d’Água (N=330, s=71), which shows the highest TD value (Δ + = 90.18) in relation to the others, including the richest Lapa do Cipó (Δ + = 85.24), consequence of the several taxonomic units with large number of species. The below-expected values of TD (Δ + = 87.70) may indicate anthropic impacts on these communities. Our results demonstrate that Gruta Olhos d’ Água and Lapa do Cipó caves are the most important sites for the occurrence of endemic and troglobitic species and may be part of a complex system that should be considered for a more efficient conservation planning.

Published: January 2020

Abstract: Herein, we provide the first comprehensive amphibian checklist for the State of Tocantins, North of Brazil, based on field sampling, literature data, and specimens deposited in zoological collections. We performed field surveys from 2012 to 2019 in 12 Tocantins municipalities, totaling 376 days of sampling effort. We analyzed 25 papers from the literature and examined 1311 specimens from collections and collected 750 during field surveys. We recorded 90 amphibian species distributed in 12 anurans and two caecilians families. At least seven undescribed species along the state were recorded. We also present new records for 20 species for the state, nine of them corresponding to Amazonian species, four Cerrado endemic, one Caatinga species, and the widely distributed treefrog Boana crepitans; the others five new records comprise undescribed species. Our data also suggest that the Tocantins amphibian composition is not geographically structured in relation to the biomes, since Amazonian, Caatinga, and Cerrado amphibian lineages have their distribution nearly completely overlapped in the state. We propose that this absence of spatial structuration may be a result of two factors (synergetic or not). First, the events of expansion and retraction of the biomes caused by the Quaternary climatic cycles, which may have mixed the populations of species from different biomes causing the notable pattern of overlapped distribution observed here. Second, the forest environments (e.g. gallery and riparian forests) associated to the Araguaia-Tocantins River basins may have acted as historical dispersal corridors for the Amazonian amphibian lineages into the Cerrado of the Tocantins. Despite the sampling effort of the present study, we stress that gaps of information still remain and further field sampling efforts should be performed along the state. Lastly, taxonomic appraisals involving the species with problematic taxonomic status recorded here should be based on multiples lines of evidences (acoustic, molecular, and morphological data), which will render a more accurate view on the Tocantins amphibian diversity. Such data are extremely necessary under the current high rate of habitat loss across the state, since they can be used to guide public policies of conservation.
Beta diversity patterns of Bromeliaceae growing on rocky cliffs within the Atlantic Forest in southern Brazil
Authors: Melo Edilaine Andrade , Waechter Jorge Luiz
Published: January 2020

Abstract: In recent years there has been increasing attention in patterns of β-diversity and mechanisms related to variations in species composition. In this study, we evaluated beta diversity patterns of bromeliads growing on cliffs immersed in Atlantic Forest. We hypothesized that the species composition varies according to the spatial scale, inferring that there is a replacement of species influenced mainly by environmental factors. The study was carried out on sandstone cliffs included in contiguous but distinct vegetation formations: Evergreen and Seasonal forests. Twenty-four vertical rocky outcrops were sampled. The spatial variation in species composition was evaluated by two β-diversity components, turnover and nestedness. Multivariate analysis and variation partitioning were performed to distinguish niche and stochastic processes. We recorded 26 bromeliad species and a significantly higher contribution of turnover explaining beta diversity. Environmental factors affect β-diversity patterns of Bromeliaceae. However, individually, the environmental predictors do not explain the data variation. Environmental variations spatially structured, and spatial variables determinate the dissimilarity in the composition of bromeliads on cliffs. Thus, our results revealed that both environmental and spatial effects can act together to define the floristic composition of rock-dwelling bromeliad communities.

Authors: Zeron Rubens Moura Campos , Serrano Junior Carlos Vicente
Published: January 2020

SUMMARY Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that aims to mimic human thought processes. AI techniques have been applied in cardiovascular medicine to explore novel genotypes and phenotypes in existing diseases, improve the quality of patient care, enabling cost-effectiveness, and reducing readmission and mortality rates. The potential of AI in cardiovascular medicine is tremendous; however, ignorance of the challenges may overshadow its potential clinical impact. This paper gives a glimpse of AI’s application in cardiovascular clinical care and discusses its potential role in facilitating precision cardiovascular medicine.

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus compromises physical, psychological, economic, and social life. OBJECTIVES To identify and compare the quality of life, depression, functional performance, and physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who use insulin or not. METHODS A observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study involving 100 patients (50 use insulin and 50 do not) from a Teaching Hospital. Questionnaires used: Identification and Socioeconomic Profile; SF-36; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; Visual Analogue Scale for Pain; Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. RESULTS Sample composed predominantly by middle-aged, female, married, retired, and with incomplete elementary school individuals. There is impairment in all domains of quality of life, being more intense in functional capacity, physical limitations, pain, social aspects, limitation by emotional aspects, and mental health (P<0.05). There is a significant prevalence of anxiety or depressive symptoms in the groups, especially in those using insulin. However, the occurrence of the corresponding psychiatric disorders is unlikely (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in neuropathic pain between the groups (P=0.2296). Functional impairment is similar in both groups regarding self-care activities (P=0.4494) and productivity (P=0.5759), with a greater deterioration of leisure time in patients on insulin (P=0.0091). Most of them practice physical activity, predominantly walking, with no significant difference when comparing the groups (P>0.05), as well as in the other modalities. CONCLUSION Insulinized patients present greater impairment of functional capacity and socialization, as well as greater neuropathic pain, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE The recent development of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) has dramatically changed the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, and interferon-based regimes have become a poor treatment choice in clinical practice. Today DAAs offer shorter, well-tolerated, highly effective curative therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of DAAs in patients with end-stage renal disease and HCV genotype 1 infection in real clinical practice. METHODS Thirty-six patients who attended our clinic, were diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), undergoing hemodialysis, and fulfilled the criteria of age >18 years, genotype 1 infection, with a detectable HCV RNA level were considered for the study. Patients with GT1a infection received OBV/PTV/r plus DSV plus RBV for 12 weeks; GT1b infected patients received this regimen without RBV for 12 weeks. RESULTS The study was conducted on 33 patients. The mean age was 52.30 ±13.77 years, and 70 % of them were male. By the fourth week of treatment, HCV RNA levels decreased below 15 IU/ml in all patients. Sustained virologic response (SVR) 12 rate was 100%. Nine patients had side effects during treatment. Of the patients with side effects, 89.9% were in group 1a and 11.1% in group 1b. CONCLUSION In this study, treatment with OBV/PTV/r and DSV with or without RBV resulted in high rates of sustained virologic response in HCV GT1-infected patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). SVR was achieved in all patients with few side effects.

Published: January 2020

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Despite the benefits, tracheostomized children are susceptible to respiratory infections, since the tube is located in a strategic region where there is colonization by several bacteria and biofilm formation. Biofilm is formed when the bacteria adhere strongly to the surfaces of the tubes, providing protection against various types of aggression, such as antibiotic treatment. OBJECTIVE To carry out a literature review of the last ten years on tracheostomized pediatric patients, in order to characterize the bacteria isolated in children’s tracheal secretions, and verify which ones are the most frequent. METHODS Two authors searched the Lilacs, SciELO, Medline Plus, and PubMed databases. The MeSH terms used were: ‘tracheostomy’ and ‘tracheotomy’ associated with ‘infections’, ‘children’, ‘child’, and ‘bacterial’ as qualifiers. RESULTS Of the 512 studies on the subject, 19 were selected for review. The total number of children evaluated in the studies was 4,472, with a mean age of 7.5 years. As for the bacteria found in the secretions of tracheostomized children, 12 species of bacteria were more frequent, P. aeruginosa was the predominant bacterium, followed by S. aureus (63.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (57.8%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (47.3%), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (47.3%). CONCLUSION One of the main complications treated in tracheostomized patients were infections, since the respiratory system is colonized by several bacteria that can cause serious infections, which are associated with the formation of biofilms. The predominant bacterium in most of the studies was P. aeruginosa, and the second species commonly reported was S. aureus.
GUATTARI E A PSICOTERAPIA INSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Agostinho Larissa Drigo
Published: January 2020

RESUMO: O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar em linhas gerais de que maneira a psicose é diagnosticada e tratada pela psicoterapia institucional. Partiremos da tese de doutorado de Tosquelles, na qual a psicose é pensada como fenômeno existencial comparável à experiência de fim de mundo. Trata-se aqui de salientar a importância da compreensão da experiência do doente e de sua elaboração criativa no desenvolvimento do quadro psicótico. Em seguida, analisaremos de que maneira Oury une a teoria de Tosquelles à psicanálise para desenvolver uma clínica multirreferencial e polifônica. No interior desse quadro teórico e prático, buscaremos traçar a inflexão política que Guattari dará à experiência clínica da psicoterapia institucional.
O universalismo da cura em Freud
Authors: Neves Tiago Iwasawa
Published: January 2020

Resumo: O objetivo é demonstrar que a reflexão sobre a cura é central para o surgimento da psicanálise entre a tradição clínica e a psicoterápica. Além de uma clínica ou uma psicoterapia, a psicanálise deve ser reconhecida como uma experiência de cura. Por fim, defenderemos que, por ter a cura como a realização de uma experiência singular em seu seio, a psicanálise freudiana estabelece uma proposta de cura de caráter universal: em cada realização singular da cura não teremos a integração da singularidade a nenhuma totalidade. A cura como a realização de uma experiência singular não será idêntica a nada.

RESUMO: O artigo aborda a psicanálise como função e ética do analista: o ato psicanalítico, a interpretação e as construções. O ato psicanalítico de instaurar a transferência como pivô do trabalho de análise, equívoco do suposto saber ato inaugural de uma análise e em todo seu trajeto. A interpretação, leitura da escrita do sintoma que opera pela função do significante, estrutura de linguagem. As construções, leitura que reescreve a história (e pré-história) pulsional escrita no sintoma, tocando o limite do ahistórico.
DA IDENTIFICAÇÃO PROJETIVA AO CONCEITO DE TERCEIRO ANALÍTICO DE THOMAS OGDEN: UM PENSAMENTO PSICANALÍTICO EM BUSCA DE UM AUTOR
Authors: Ribeiro Marina F. R.
Published: January 2020

RESUMO: Considerando que Thomas Ogden é um dos psicanalistas representantes da psicanálise contemporânea transmatricial (FIGUEIREDO; COELHO JÚNIOR, 2018), o artigo apresenta a passagem e transformação do conceito de identificação projetiva (KLEIN, 1946) para o de terceiro analítico (OGDEN, 1994) por meio da análise e discussão de publicações do autor, em que faz articulações tanto com conceitos de Winnicott, quanto de Bion. Para Ogden, os conceitos são metáforas que nomeiam diferentes aspectos do funcionamento mental, e as transformações conceituais estariam, então, nos pequenos deslizamentos de sentidos, nas sutilezas do texto e no uso diverso das expressões.

A DISJUNÇÃO MÃE/MULHER A PARTIR DE UMA PRÁTICA DE CONVERSAÇÃO
Authors: Marcos Cristina Moreira , Mendonça Renata Lucindo
Published: January 2020

RESUMO: Em Freud, a mulher é irremediavelmente ligada a uma reivindicação fálica jamais satisfeita e a assunção da feminilidade coincide com a maternidade. Que o feminino não se deixe recobrir inteiramente pela mãe é, por outro lado, destacado por Lacan. A prática da conversação com adolescentes mães e gestantes realizada no âmbito de uma pesquisa revela que, apesar das diversas conquistas das mulheres nas últimas décadas, a maternidade fornece ainda hoje significado e imagem com os quais se revestem o feminino pela via do ter fálico. Contudo, a tentativa de encerrar o feminino na mãe não cessa de fracassar.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of six indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations and three immersion times in IAA solutions on the vegetative propagation of Spondias dulcis and Spondias tuberosa by stem cuttings. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using a completely randomized design, with a 6×3 factorial arrangement consisting of six indole-3-acetic acid concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 g L-1) and three immersion times (8, 16, and 24 seconds), with ten cuttings of S. dulcis and S. tuberosa per plot, and three replications. Percentage of surviving cuttings, and percentage of rooted cuttings, number of leaf buds, number of roots per cutting, root length, and total fresh weight were evaluated at 180 days after planting. Data were subjected to analysis of variance by the F test and to regression analysis. Vegetative propagation from woody cuttings of S. dulcis is not viable to produce seedlings, thus, new studies on this technique for this species are needed. Vegetative propagation from woody cuttings of S. tuberosa is satisfactory, but with low efficiency for improvement and emergence of new shoots and roots; it is more effective when using a concentration of 10 g L-1 of indole-3-acetic acid and immersion time in the solution of 16 seconds.

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the agronomic and environmental performance of yellow melons produced in an experimental area in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, using conventional methods and alternative systems of cultivation based on the rotation of melons with green manure crops. Two types of alternative management systems were evaluated, spanning twelve treatments: i) tillage, with the incorporation of the green manure biomass into the soil via the subsequent planting of melons into that residue, and ii) no tillage, with the maintenance of the biomass on the soil surface with subsequent planting of melons. Agronomic performance was evaluated by statistical analysis of productivity, while environmental performance was evaluated by analyzing the carbon footprint, according to ISO 14067. Agronomic analysis showed that rotation of melons with maize and Brachiaria resulted in a higher yield of melons for export. Assessment of the carbon footprint of this system in relation to the conventional system showed that the rotation system presented a lower carbon footprint. A scenario analysis showed that the carbon footprint can be further reduced by 42.54%, if: i) production takes place in areas already cultivated for more than 20 years, ii) the amount of inorganic nitrogen applied is reduced by 50%, and iii) commercialization of melons begins in the United States. This study shows the importance of rotating melons with green manure crops to increase production in the semiarid region and reduce the carbon footprint of this fruit.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution of NO3 - and K+ in the profile of soils cultivated with sugarcane crops, after application of different nitrogen (N) and potassium (K2O) rates via subsurface drip fertigation, in Teresina, PI, Brazil. The experiment was conducted at the experimental area of Embrapa Meio-Norte, using a randomized block design with four replications. The treatments were arranged in split plots, with N+K2O rates (60+120, 180+120, 120+60, 120+180, and 120+120 kg ha-1 of N + K2O, respectively) in the plots, and soil layers (0.0-0.2, 0.2-0.4, and 0.4-0.6 m), for quantification of NO3- and K+ concentrations in the soil, in the subplots. The soil of the experimental area was a Typic Hapludult of sandy-loam texture. The distribution of nitrate (NO3-) and potassium (K+) in the soil layers after the N+K2O applications were evaluated. The NO3- and K+ concentrations in soils under sugarcane crops in the plant crop cycle is higher at the beginning and at the end of the cycle, respectively. The NO3 - and K+ concentrations in the soil solution are dependent on the evaluation time, soil layer, and N and K2O rates applied via fertigation. The highest concentrations of NO3- (264 mg L-1) and K+ (377 ppm) were found in the 0.0-0.2 m soil layer. No leaching of NO3- or K+ to deepest soil layers (>0.4 m) was found.

ABSTRACT Groundwater with high salt concentrations is common in the semiarid region of Brazil. It often makes them inappropriate to conventional agricultural production of vegetables. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate watercress and Chinese cabbage crops under a nutrient film technique (NFT) hydroponic system using brackish groundwater. The experiment was carried out in the Poço do Boi region, in Ibimirim, Pernambuco, Brazil (8º32'15"S, 37º41'30"W, and altitude of 431 m). The treatments used were: public water (T1), calcium sulfate water (T2), magnesium chloride water S1 (T3), calcium chloride water (T4), sodium chloride water (T5), and magnesium chloride water S2 (T6). A completely randomized experimental design was used, with six treatments and four replications, totaling 24 plots for each crop. The fresh and dry shoot weights and rates of relative and absolute growths were analyzed. The different waters used affected negatively the growth and yield of the watercress and Chinese cabbage plants. The calcium chloride water was the most suitable for the watercress production. However, none of the groundwaters used could be recommended for production of Chinese cabbage. The lowest growth rates (5.88% to watercress and 0.75% to Chinese cabbage) of the fresh matter were found with the use of magnesium water.

ABSTRACT Indiscriminate disposal of waste from the oil industry has led to contamination of soils and water sources and toxic effects in the biota. Thus, this study aimed to assess barium (Ba) and lead (Pb) spatial variability in disposal sites for oil well drilling and prospecting wastes. The soil in the study area is classified as Red Latosol, and the area is located in Santa Maria do Oeste, Paraná State (Brazil). Barium and Pb spatial variabilities were determined using a 76-point sampling grid. The levels of metals were determined in soil samples collected at each sampling point, at the depth ranges of 0.0-0.3, 0.3-0.6, 0.6-0.9 and 0.9-1.2 m. Data were mapped using geostatistical interpolators for spatial dependence determination, modeling and validation of semivariograms, and respective interpolation. Thirty Ba and Pb high concentration samples were selected for leaching and solubilization assays. As semivariogram analysis showed spatial dependence, mapping by ordinary kriging was performed for both metals. The high levels found for both metals arose from well drilling activities, as no direct relationship was found between such levels with geology and genesis of the local rock. The concentrations of the metals were higher than the research values considering the Agricultural / AP-Max scenario, therefore, the study area was characterized as class 4 (contaminated). Although these metals have low solubility, i.e. low contamination risk to subsurface waters, they may pose contamination risks to water bodies by means of soil runoff.
‘The very cunning of the scene’: notes towards a common dispositive for theatre and philosophy
Authors: Rokem Freddie
Published: January 2020

Abstract: The article suggests that eavesdropping scenes contain the key to a fundamental dispositive of the theatre, that reinforces the intricate metatheatrical dimensions of any performance and amplifies its philosophical aspects. In order to make this claim clear, the article discusses the idea of a dispositive, a concept broadly taken from Foucault (1980; 1986) and applies its self-reflexive dimensions to a number of examples from different plays, in order to demonstrate as those work both as scores for performances as well as texts with a philosophical character.

Background:Fixed-combination(FC)therapy is used inprimary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension(OHT) patients who require more than one medication to reach their target intraocular pressure(IOP). Currently, there are several FC therapiesavailable for the treatment of glaucoma.The FC of latanoprost/timolol(LTFC)is a commonly used. We will conduct a systematic reviewtocompare the IOP-lowering effects of LTFC with other FCs for patients with POAGand OHT. Materials and methods:We will search PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Sciencefor randomized-controlled clinical trials and cross-over studies. The outcomes are mean IOP and IOP fluctuation after one month of treatment. Meta-analysis will be carried out using RevMan (version 5.1) software.After conducting meta-analyses,we will rate the quality of each meta-analysis as high, moderate, low, or very low using the “GRADE”system.
