title: BIOMASS ACCUMULATION IN FORESTS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OF FUELWOOD EXTRACTION IN CHIAPAS, MEXICO

description: ABSTRACT Tropical forests plays a vital role in mitigating atmospheric CO2 but the retention capacity of such ecosystems has changed greatly due to increasing anthropogenic pressures, of which firewood extraction is the main one activity in rural areas. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the biomass stocks of pine and oak forests with different pressure of fuelwood extraction in Chiapas, Mexico. The study was carried out in four locations in the state of Chiapas, southern Mexico; two of them with high extraction levels and the other two with lower extraction levels. Pine and Oak forests are the predominant forest types in the region. A total of sixteen plots of 400 m2 were established to measure the biomass stocks of the trees with &gt; 7.5 cm DBH. Published allometric equations were used to quantify the biomass stocks. The average biomass of the pine forest with low fuelwood extraction was 213.4 Mg ha-1, and that of the oak forest was 189.5 Mg ha-1. On the other hand, the biomass stocks of the pine forest with high fuelwood extraction was 138.2 Mg ha-1, and that of the oak forest was 92.0 Mg ha-1. Communities with agricultural diversification like apiculture and agroforestry practices were found more effective in forest biomass conservation when compared to those who are only dedicated to Milpa cultivation and extensive bovine livestock production. The adoption of silvopasture systems, the use of crop residues and the use of ecological cooking stoves can be the alternatives to reduce forest fuelwood extraction.

title: FOREST FRAGMENTATION AND IMPACTS ON THE BIRD COMMUNITY

description: ABSTRACT The study aimed at verifying the patterns of bird community related to different land-use/land-cover. The study area was a Conservation Unit and its buffer area. We used the fixed-point method, visiting 80 points in five times, through one year. The points were plotted in lands agriculture (AGR) and planted forest (FP) and, in areas covered by native forest (NF). The diversity index (H'), abundance (IPA), richness (X2) and categories of species-trophic were calculated, as well as the difference between H' and X2 according to land-use/land-cover was verified by an ANOVA. We also evaluated the taxonomic and functional similarity of the bird community, based in IPA and bird presence/absence. There were significant differences for both X2 and H', comparing NF and FP; NF and AGRP and; AGRP and FP. Concerning the trophic categories, the significant differences were between NF and AGRP and; FP and AGRP, because AGRP is a homogeneous environment with less diversity of resources. Conversely, NF and FP presented similarities as a consequence of the heterogeneity of its structures that subsidize greater avifauna stability than other land-use/land-cover. We conclude that the bird diversity and richness is related to the complexity of the landscape structure.

title: A CRITICAL APPROACH TO THE USE OF THE BCG MATRIX: PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS OF BRAZILIAN PULP MARKETED IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to highlight some limitations of the use of the Boston Consulting Group Matrix to propose strategies to maximize the performance of the sector in the international pulp market. The procedure adopted for the investigation was the portfolio analysis, for the different types of pulp exported by Brazil, using the Growth Share Matrix. The results indicate that the BCG Matrix is static and non-dynamic analysis and arbitrary questions to define the market growth rate can provide different interpretations, possibly contradictory.

title: Performance and fatty acid profile of Holstein calves slaughtered at different weights

description: ABSTRACT Our objective was to evaluate performance and fatty acid contents of the meat of Holstein veal fed in feedlots and slaughtered at four different pre-determined live weights (140, 180, 220, and 260 kg). Twenty-three non-castrated calves with initial average ages of 58 days and 57 kg live weight were used in this study. Average daily gain, dry matter intake, nutrient intake, cold carcass weight, cold carcass yield, scraps, and fat thickness improved with increasing slaughter weight. However, C18:0, C22:0, C18:2Trans10Cis12, C18:1n9Cis acids, sum of unsaturated fatty acids, and lipid content decreased with the increase in slaughter weight. Raising the slaughter weight of Holstein calves from 144 to 260 kg improves the performance of animals, mainly due to the increase in their intake capacity. However, this increase in slaughter weight does not result in significant changes in the fatty acid composition of the meat.

title: Argumentation of first year High School students on the theme of "Energy": discussions in an Environmental Education perspective

description: Abstract: This article presents an analysis of arguments produced by students about the theme "Energy: production, uses and environmental impacts", with the aim of contributing to the studies on the theme Environmental Education in Basic Education. The theoretical concepts that underlie our study are related to the process of social interactions, in the Vigotskian perspective, and to the production of arguments, from the standard of Toulmin. The data presented in this research were collected with students of the first grade of the High School in the discipline of Physics of a public school in the State of São Paulo. The study provides evidence that classroom work promotes an enabling environment for the emergence of valid arguments, and favors the implementation of the Environmental Education process with the critical approach.

title: Vascular and ventilatory mechanical responses in three different stages of pulmonary development in the rabbit model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

description: Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the vascular ventilatory response in different stages of lung development and to compare them to the neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in a rabbit model. Methods: New Zealand rabbits were divided into 8 groups (n=5): E25, E27, E30, and CDH. All groups were ventilated on a FlexiVent (Scireq, Montreal, QC, Canada), compounding the other 4 groups. The CDH surgery was performed at E25 and the harvest at E30. Dynamic compliance (CRS), dynamic elastance (ERS) and dynamic resistance (RRS) were measured every 4 min/24 min. Median wall thickness (MWT) and airspace were measured. ANOVA Bonferroni tests were used to perform statistical analysis. Significance was considered when p&lt;0.05. Results: CRS was higher in E30 compared to all other groups (p&lt;0.05). CRS and RRS of CDH and E27 were similar and were higher in E25 (p&lt;0.05). MWT was decreased according to the gestational age, was increased in E27V and E30V (p&lt;0.05) and decreased in CDHV (p&lt;0.05), airspace was decreased in E25 and increased in all ventilated groups (p&lt;0.05). Conclusions: The ventilation response of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is like the pseudoglandular stage of the lung development. These findings add information about the physiology of pulmonary ventilation in CDH.

title: Effect of the addition of protected fat from palm oil to the diet of dairy sheep

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of protected fat from palm oil on body weight and milk production and composition of lactating Lacaune ewes. Four treatments (0, 20, 40, and 60 g kg−1 as fed) of protected fat from palm oil were used to feed nine animals in each group. Isoproteic and isoenergetic diets were formulated and adjusted for each animal after milk weighing. Corn silage was used as roughage on the same proportion of concentrated to feed all animals. Milk samples were collected weekly for chemical analyses up to the seventh week of the lactation period and every other week after that until the end of the lactation period (182 days). Increased levels of protected fat in the diet of lactating ewes resulted in lower body weight gain and poor animal body condition. The production peak showed differences and was higher in the treatment of 40 g kg−1 of palm oil, but milk production during lactation was higher in animals that received 60 g kg−1 of protected fat supplementation. Animals fed 60 g kg−1 of protected fat showed the highest milk yield. We observed a positive linear effect on milk fat content, whereas the effect on milk protein, lactose, and nonfat solids was linearly negative after dairy sheep fed protected fat from palm oil. There were no changes in the amount (kg) of milk fat, protein, lactose, total solids, and nonfat solids in any of the treatments. Therefore, protected fat from palm oil is efficient to increase milk production and fat content.

title: The use of Pedagogical link-making in General Pathology classes: materialization of the link with the curriculum and with the profession

description: Abstract: The objective of this article is to verify and quantify if the professors materialize the link that General Pathology represents between the basic and professional disciplines and if they recognize this achievement. We are based in a theoretical framework analyzing pedagogical link-making (PLM) developed in classes of five professors of General Pathology from a Brazilian Federal University. To do this, we chose classes recorded in video, whose didactic sequence was based on neoplasia. We also did a semi-structured interview with five professors. We observed that the professors do PLM idiosyncratically. The Meso and Micro PLM were more emphasized by the professors and as the macro professionals were under represented, we conclude this may partially influence the academics' lack of interest in the discipline.

title: Environmental licensing of large-scale enterprises: what are the limits for evaluating direct and indirect impacts on health? A case study in the Wajãpi Indigenous Land, Amapá

description: Abstract In Brazil, it is mandatory to conduct environmental impact studies prior to deploying large-scale ventures. However, the normative criteria for demarcating areas of influence are considered imprecise and insufficient. The present article aims to demonstrate how serial environmental impacts caused by the implementation of hydroelectric power plants and industrial mining in the state of Amapá triggered outbreaks of malaria and American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in the Wajãpi Indigenous Land and other settlements in the region. Spatial analysis of deforestation, climate variation curves, and the chronology of events from 2003 to 2015 were used to verify the correlation of indirect health effects in communities wich were not included during the licensing stages for deploying these projects. The results showed that outbreaks of malaria and ACL were correlated with increased rates of deforestation caused by the expansion of rural settlements, but mainly by the establishment of two hydroelectric power plants, the growth in industrial iron mining, as well as the simultaneous increase of mining camps (garimpos) in the region. The results highlight the fragility of the environmental licensing process for demarcating indirectly influenced areas, particularly with regard to health issues.

title: Bud load management on table grape yield and quality – cv. Sugrathirteen (Midnight Beauty®)

description: ABSTRACT Viticulture is an activity of great economic and social importance in the Submedium region of the São Francisco River Valley, with emphasis on table grape and wine production. With the increasing expansion of the viticulture, a growing number of alternatives that do not affect fruit quality have been studied to maximize table grape yield, such as pruning and load adjustment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of different bud loads on canopy management to enable the marketable and economic production of cv. Sugrathirteen (Midnight Beauty®) in the submedium region ofthe São Francisco River Valley. This study was carried out for two years (2014/2015) in an experimental area for the introduction of new cultivars patented by Prodomo Farm in the municipality of Petrolina, Pernambuco, Brazil. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block factorial 2 × 5 design, with two seasons and 5 treatments, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 buds short_textwhich correspond toshort_text 17, 23, 29, 34 and 40 buds·m–2 short_textrespectivelyshort_text, distributed in 4 plots, considering five plants per replicate. Our results show that pruning seasons significantly affected sprouting percentage. However, the difference in bud load influenced this variable, with higher values in the pruning at 14 buds in both seasons. According to the results, the selection of pruning system according to bud load and to genetic features of the cultivar, and their interaction with the environment, produced higher yields in pruning with 10 buds, without negatively affecting grape quality.

title: Bipedal and unipedal stance in Brazilian football 7-a-side athletes with cerebral palsy

description: ABSTRACT To compare postural control between Football 7-a-side players with cerebral palsy (CP) and active non-athletes without neurologic impairments, 28 individuals (15 to 35 years old) were selected and divided into the Non-Athletes Group (NAG), consisting of 14 individuals without neurologic or musculoskeletal injury; and the CP Group (CPG), composed of 14 athletes from the regional football team. A force platform was used to measure anteroposterior displacement of center of pressure (COPap), velocity (COPvel), mediolateral displacement (COPml), and 95% confidence ellipse area (AREA95) on bipedal and unipedal stance. On bipedal stance, there was no difference between groups in anteroposterior displacement of center of pressure (COPap) and velocity (COPvel). On unipedal stance with the dominant leg, the NAG presented better postural control, statistically significant in mediolateral displacement (COPml), 95% confidence ellipse area (AREA95) and COPap (p = 0.003; p = 0.001; p = 0.018, respectively). Our results showed that both groups have similar postural control on bipedal stance, but NAG demonstrated better postural control with unipedal stance than Football 7-a-side players with CP.
