title: Physiological performance of wheat seeds treated with micronutrients and protection products during storage

description: Abstract: Seeds with high quality are one of the important factors to consider in the crops establishment on field. Therefore, the physical and physiological quality of wheat seeds treated with mixes of micronutrients including zinc and protective products were aimed. The wheat seeds were analyzed in a factorial scheme 5x3x4, with five storage time: 0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 days; three micronutrients: micronutrients 1 (1% Mn; 0.1% Mo; 10% Zn); micronutrients 2 (0.3% B; 0.3% Co; 3% Zn) and no micronutrients, and four protective products: untreated seeds, polymer (Colorseed He), fungicide carboxin + thiram (Vitavax® Thiram 200 SC) + insecticide thiamethoxam (Cruiser® 350 FS) and polymer + fungicide + insecticide. After treatment, the seeds were stored under uncontrolled conditions for 240 days and at intervals of 60 days, the germination, accelerated aging and moisture content were determined. Wheat seeds untreated and treated with polymer have the best physiological performance during storage, regardless micronutrients treatments. The wheat seeds treated with carboxin + thiram + thiamethoxam and polymer + carboxin + thiram + thiamethoxam can be storage up to 120 days, under uncontrolled conditions, regardless micronutrients treatments. The seed treatment does not alter the moisture content of wheat seeds.

title: Vegetative and Environmental Components in a Secondary Riparian Forest in the Southern Plateau of Santa Catarina, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This study investigated the vegetation and environmental variable of fragments at different successional stages in a secondary riparian forest in the municipality of Ponte Alta, Santa Catarina state, Brazil (27°29’00” S and 50°17’11” W, WGS84), aiming to list priority variables for monitoring forest succession in riparian forests. For this, two areas were identified: “Reference” (conserved secondary forest) and “Restoration” (secondary forest under passive restoration). The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated the existence of differences in the arboreal community diversity with lower values for the “Restoration” synthesized by PC1. The ground coverage by Ocellochloa rudis (Nees) Zuloaga & Morrone (Poaceae) was mainly in places with higher pH values and ability for effective cation exchange, with no preference of occurrence in either evaluated site. The composition of arboreal diversity was a relevant variable for monitoring passive restoration in this environment.

title: Optimization of tetrazolium tests to assess the quality of Platymiscium floribundum , Lonchocarpus muehlbergianus and Acacia polyphylla DC. Seeds

description: Abstract: The tetrazolium (TZ) test is an alternative to conventional germination tests, which usually require longer periods for seed quality evaluation. However, it is necessary to develop specific methodologies for each species, determining the concentration and time of exposure to salt. Thus, the objectives of this study were (i) to optimize the application of tetrazolium in forest seeds of Platymiscium floribundum Vog., Lonchocarpus muehlbergianus Hassl. and Acacia polyphylla DC., with the proposal of an evaluation protocol for tetrazolium test in order to reduce the subjectivity of interpretation and (ii) to adapt standardized methodologies to evaluate the seed quality of forest species using TZ. To perform the tests, the seeds were submitted to immersion times and concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0%) in solution of 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride. The ideal concentrations and immersion time for each species were: P. floribundum - 0.5 and 1.0% for 60 minutes; L. muehlbergianus - 0,1% for 6 hours and A. polyphylla - 0,5% for 4 hours. Each seed was evaluated by color, size and localization of colored spots in three zones of low, medium and significant impact on germinability and after classified in three vigor classes. The protocol and the proposed methodology presented high efficiency according to the established parameters.

title: Effectiveness of day care in supporting family caregivers of people with dementia: A systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Day care (DC) provides a break in daily care as a support strategy for family caregivers (FC) of people with dementia (PwD). Objective: to analyze the support strategies used by the DC for FC, their methodological and theoretical models, as well as the respective benefits for FC burden, coping strategies and quality of life. Methods: a systematic review following the Prisma methodology was performed on PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus and SciELO electronic databases in August, 2018. The search keywords were “day care”, “dementia” or Alzheimer disease, “caregiver”, “quality of life” and “psychological adaptation”. Results: twenty-one studies were included. No randomized controlled trials were found. The provision of education, counseling and support, access to information, the professionals' expertise and the quality of their relationship with DC users were highlighted by caregivers. Compared to standard programs centering on PwD, the integrated program focused on PwD and FC activities showed increased feelings of competence and self-confidence of FC to postpone institutionalization. Heterogeneity in the structure and organization of the DC programs, intervention strategies and theoretical basis was observed. Conclusion: Integrated programs are a promising approach that addresses the needs and demands of PwD and their FC in a multidimensional manner.

title: Wood Knots Influence the Modulus of Elasticity and Resistance to Compression

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to establish the correlation between the size of the wood knots and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) and the compressive strength (Fc) in Eucalyptus wood. 156 Eucalyptus urophylla samples with knots were separated into 3 classes (small, medium and large knots), and samples were selected from the same tree and submitted to the parallel fiber compression test for MOE and Fc determination. There was a significant difference between the MOE and Fc of the smaller knot class (Class 1) and the other classes with larger knots (Classes 2 and 3). In general, the larger the knot, the greater the difference between the MOE and Fc. Wood with small knots (8.31 mm2) presents stiffness and strength statistically equal to wood free of defects. Eucalyptus wood stiffness is more sensitive to the presence of knots than the strength when compared to clear wood samples.

title: Collective public transport under the logic of the capitalist production of space: an analysis of the bus service in the Metropolitan Region of Recife

description: Abstract In today's urban societies, the growth of the State's role coexists with the privatization process of the services provided by this apparatus. The traditional justification lies in the search for greater competitiveness and efficiency in the services provided. The State has been increasingly indispensable in the mediation between private and collective interests; however, in the case of collective public transport in the Brazilian context, the logic that constituted it as an essential service exempts it from the public responsibility that belongs to it, opening windows for a discussion about the dynamics of the management and operation of this equipment. This article analyzes collective public transport in the Metropolitan Region of Recife in the perspective of the capitalist production of space.

title: Influence of Fire on the Natural Regeneration of a Semideciduous Seasonal Rainforest Fragment

description: ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the influence of fire in a forest fragment through litter biomass analysis, regeneration of Cecropia sp., and canopy openness. Two treatments were established, one of them corresponding to an area affected by fire (T1) and the other not affected by fire (T2), both areas encompassing 0.3 ha of forest. Samples were collected in 20 different sites in each treatment, weighed and placed in an oven at 70 °C to constant weight. To quantify Cecropia sp. regeneration a census was performed in both areas. Hemispheric images collected at 5 different points in each area were used to analyze canopy openness. Data were analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a significant difference between treatments was detected. The area affected by fire had higher canopy openness, greater amount of Cecropia sp., and lower litter biomass when compared with the area that was not affected by fire. This indicates that fire interfered with the structure and composition of the burned forest.

title: Iron-deficiency anemia and vitamin A deficiency prevalence and associated factors among children under one year

description: Abstract Objective To assess the iron deficiency anemia and vitamin A deficiency prevalence and associated factors in children under one year. Methods Cross-sectional study with a sample of 93 children. Children with hemoglobin &lt;11 g/dL were considered anemic. The cutoff point used for the classification of low levels of vitamin A was &lt; 0.70 mMol/L and to characterize disability &lt; 0.35 mmol/L. Statistical analyzes were carried out using Stata 10.0 software. Variables were presented in simple frequency and the association among the factors and deficiencies of iron and vitamin A was performed by the Pearson chi- square test. Mean hemoglobin and vitamin A were compared using the Student t test for parametric variables and Mann-Whitney test for nonparametric. Results The prevalence of anemia and vitamin A deficiency was 29.03% and 19.10%, respectively. It was found also low vitamin A values in 90.32% of children. The presence of iron deficiency anemia was associated to low maternal age and education. Low values of vitamin Awere significant in non-white mothers. The prevalence of inadequate iron intake and vitamin A was 23.66% and 22.58%, respectively. Conclusion This study evidences the high prevalence of these diseases, highlighting the importance of adopting preventive measures.

title: Characterization of adults food intake based on simplified questionnaire: contribution to food and nutrition surveillance studies

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate whether marked eating habits factors may satisfactorily characterize the usual intake. Methods We obtained food intake information using two methods: three nonconsecutive days of 24-hour recall (24HR) and a eating habits questionnaire (EHQ). The eating habits categorical data agreement was tested by the comparison of independent information sources – mentioned in the EHQ and categorized 24HR; being measured by the single kappa statistic and the prevalence adjusted kappa, with 5% significance level. Results This study investigated 288 adults, of which 54.5% were female, aged between 20 and 60 years old. It was observed that the agreement of the EHQ with the 24HR for the variables “butter and margarine consumption (both)”, “light margarine consumption”, “skimmed milk consumption”, “semi-skimmed milk consumption”, “light or diet cheese, cottage cheese or yogurt consumption”, “diet or light soft drink consumption” “light or diet and traditional soft drink consumption (both)” were almost perfect, showing that the methods of assessment of dietary intake were highly concordant. The EHQ satisfactorily characterized the consumption of most tested foods.

title: Natural Regeneration in a Conservation Unit: Subsidy for Restoration Actions

description: ABSTRACT In order to evaluate the regeneration of a forest remnant, we installed 256 2 x 2 m plots for measuring forest species individuals with height ≥ 30 cm and stem diameter ≤ 1 cm. Horizontal structure was evaluated and calculated by the Shannon (H') diversity index and the Pielou (J) evenness index. We performed clustering analysis by the agglomerative and divisive hierarchical method (the variable was the number of individuals); and used the Principal Component Analysis to verify the species distribution. We sampled 3021 individuals, distributed in 26 families and 51 species (H' = 2.78 and J = 0.66). Allophylus edulis had the highest values of absolute frequency (63.3) and absolute density (5186 ind.ha-1), while Ligustrum lucidum presented greater dissimilarity. The analysis showed the presence of regeneration mechanisms, and evidenced biological invasion problem.

title: Neighborhood impact study: the experience of Caldas Country Show in Caldas Novas – GO

description: Abstract Caldas Novas stands out as a hydrothermal resort that attracts thousands of people from all parts of Brazil and the world. In the city, they are carried out with great frequency events being the most famous Caldas Country Show considered the largest country music festival of Goias. Due to lack of demand for urban planning instruments for the event, the local population suffered from the urban impact the festival since its first edition in 2006. However, only in 2012 the impacts that affected many aspects of city sustainability achieved national repercussions fact that led the prosecution to demand the presentation of the Neighborhood Impact Study. The purpose of this study is to verify the views of residents and merchants who are located in the area of direct influence on the Caldas Country Show. Wanted also check, after the preparation of the EIV, there were significant improvements in the event. Secondary data were collected from a qualitative exploratory research and primary data from the questionnaires with structured questions with residents and Caldas Novas traders in the years 2012 and 2013. There is no doubt that the EIV cooperated for good performance event in its eighth edition in 2013, and the events in the previous edition were not repeated after the preparation of the study.
