title: Efficiency of phosphorus use by melon genotypes

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of phosphorus use with melon genotypes cultivated in a hydroponic system. Ten melon genotypes were evaluated in solutions with and without phosphorus restriction. A randomized block design in a 10 × 2 factorial scheme was used, with five replicates. The following characteristics were evaluated: leaf number, stem diameter, main branch length, root system length, root system volume, chlorophyll, root and shoot phosphorus concentration ratio, total phosphorus, root and shoot dry matter ratio, total dry matter, and phosphorus use, acquisition, and internal utilization efficiencies. The existence of variability among genotypes was verified for all evaluated characteristics, except for chlorophyll. Genotypes A-16, A-29, A-50, A-52, and Trinity were classified as efficient and responsive in the phosphorus-restricted solution and are promising for breeding studies.

title: THE MULTILEVEL PATH TO CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION

description: ABSTRACT Climate change is a much neglected but urgent matter for society. Frequent and extreme weather events, fires, rising sea levels, and other such events are just some of the expected effects for which organizations must prepare and adapt. This article presents a systematic literature review on climate change adaptation and analyzes the factors that influence organizations’ strategic decision-making. The findings lead to a model elaborated to explain the role of such factors, considering their level of influence - individual, organizational, and institutional. This study contributes to the literature by proposing a model of climate change adaptation and explains the relationship between the internal and external factors in a multilevel context. The model identifies risk perception as one of the main contingent factors in adapting to climate change. Other contingent factors are the organizational resources and capabilities, stakeholders, and partnerships. Finally, the study demonstrates that public policies, values, individual experience, and cognitive capacity are important antecedents in the adaptation process.

title: Performance of a diesel engine using different biodiesel blends and injection configurations

description: ABSTRACT Diesel cycle engines are widely used in a wide range of agricultural activities. Recently, with the increasing use of biodiesel mixed with petroleum diesel and the introduction of pollutant emission regulations for agricultural and road machinery, there has been a growing migration from mechanical to electronic fuel injection systems. In this experiment, the primary aim was to verify the behavior of a diesel engine, electronically managed, with controlled variation of the fuel feeding system parameters (injection time and volume injected). A four-cylinder agricultural tractor with a turbocharged engine and a common rail electronic fuel injection system was used. Tests with diesel B10 and blends of 20 and 30% biodiesel were carried out, all with 10 ppm of sulfur and the injection system electronically reprogrammed. The tests were performed under full engine load from 1,300 to 2,000 rpm. The torque, power and fuel consumption were evaluated. Advancing the injection point increased the power and decreased the specific fuel consumption for all fuels. The greater amount of injected fuel provided average power gain of up to 14.96% and average torque gain of 15.50%.

title: Could CA 19-9 be a useful biomarker in the diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction of adequate relief in lower urinary tract obstructions?

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: posterior urethral valves represent an important cause of childhood chronic kidney disease. The identification of biomarkers that indicate early kidney damage and even adequate clearance could reduce how many patients head towards kidney failure. Objective: this study evaluated how this easy-analysis biomarker (CA 19-9) could help identifying potential renal damage and adequate clearance in obstructive uropathies. Methods: 46 female Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups, with different patterns of partial urinary tract obstruction: group control; group OIV: infravesical obstruction; group OIVd: infravesical obstruction with reversion, obstruction relief 7 postoperative days later; group OUu: unilateral ureteral obstruction; group OUb: bilateral ureteral obstruction. The CA 19-9s performance was compared to another biomarker: Ngal. Determination of basal CA 19-9 and Ngal in urine and blood and serum creatinine levels was performed in the rats prior to surgery (T0) and after 14 days (T1). Group OIVd underwent intermediate (Ti) collection before clearance. Results: the urinary concentration of CA 19-9 increased in groups OIV, OIVd and OUb; elevation at T1 and Ti, reached statistical significance compared to the T0 value (p&lt;0,05). Changes in urinary CA 19-9 were more expressive in infravesical obstruction groups (AUC 0.81). Obstruction relief in group OIVd promoted significant urinary CA 19-9 reduction (p&lt;0,05) in the final evaluation. Conclusions: CA 19-9 urinary concentration increased in partial urinary tract obstruction. Its best performance was in the bladder neck obstruction group, in which the elevation was detected early (6 days after infravesical obstruction) and the CA19-9 urinary concentration declined after clearance.

title: SOIL CARBON STOCKS AND COMPARTMENTS OF ORGANIC MATTER UNDER CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS IN BRAZILIAN SEMI-ARID REGION

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the conversion of secondary native vegetation (NV) to conventional systems (agriculture and pasture) in soil organic carbon (SOC) and carbon of fractions particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The study was carried out in the municipalities of Delmiro Gouveia, Inhapi and Pariconha, in Alagoas, Brazil. Soils were collected in the layers of 0-0.1, 0.1-0.2 and 0.2-0.3 m. The treatments analyzed were: agricultural crops with 4, 15 and 30 years and pasture with 10 years. As a reference, the secondary Caatinga was used. The results show that in soils with sandy texture (Neossolos Quartzarênico and Regolítico – Arenosols and Regosols, respectively), there were reductions in SOC levels and carbon in the compartment associated with minerals. The inverse can be observed in the clay-textured Argissolo (Acrisols), with 30 years of cultivation, in which there was an increase in SOC and C in the quantitative fractions of soil organic matter. In addition, despite the sandy texture of the Neossolo Regolítico, POM levels were increased in the pasture system in comparison to native vegetation, but it was not enough to recover the original SOC content of this system.

title: INFLUENCE OF TIMES AND METHODS OF BLACK OAT MANAGEMENT ON CORN DEVELOPMENT AND YIELD

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the influence of management times and methods of black oat straw on corn crop development and yield under a no-tillage system for two crop seasons. A randomized block design was used with twelve treatments. They were arranged in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme with four replications, consisting of a combination between three methods (crushed, rolled, and desiccated) and four times (0, 10, 20, and 30 days before corn sowing). Black oat was evaluated for dry matter, while corn was for plant final population, height, stem diameter, ear insertion height, ear diameter, ear length, grain number per row, 1000-grain weight, and grain yield. All management methods and times interfered with corn crop yield components, but not all influenced final production. The method with the largest final corn population was not the same with an improved ear development. Such findings, however, may not be the same under highly favorable weather conditions.

title: NEGOTIATE LIFE? collective bargaining during the pandemic in Brazil

description: This paper analyzes how the union movement faced the challenges imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, investigating the collective bargaining that took place between March 2020 and early 2021. Its core question inquires: have unions been able to build webs of protection for their members, in the form of collective norms agreed upon with employers? A pertinent question, since the 2017 labor reform immensely weakened the capacity of organized labor to act, by ending the union tax and limiting collective bargaining to consensual forms of funding, thereby impoverishing unions; and by reducing the scope of issues subject to collective bargaining, which was aggravated by the federal provisional measures aimed at facilitating the business response to the crisis, at the expense of workers’ income. The empirical research is based on collective bargaining results from four categories of essential workers: food and supermarket retailers, nurses, truck drivers, and bank clerks.

title: Inclusion complexes of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin with 2-hydroxypropyl-(-cyclodextrin: solubility and antimicrobial activity

description: Abstract The aim of the present study is to improve the solubility and antimicrobial activity of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin by formulating its inclusion complexes with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in solution and in solid state. The phase solubility study was used to investigate the interactions between 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and to estimate the molar ratio between them. The structural characterization of binary systems (prepared by physical mixing, kneading and solvent evaporation methods) was analysed using the FTIR-ATM spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin and inclusion complexes prepared by solvent evaporation method was tested by the diffusion and dilution methods on various strains of microorganisms. The results of phase solubility studies showed that 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin formed the inclusion complexes with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin of AP type. The solubility of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin was increased 64.05-fold with 50% w/w of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin at 37 oC. The inclusion complexes in solid state, prepared by the solvent evaporation method, showed higher solubility in purified water and in phosphate buffer solutions in comparison with 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin alone. The inclusion complexes prepared by solvent evaporation method showed higher activity on Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus compared to uncomplexed 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin due to improved aqueous solubility, thus increasing the amount of available 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin that crosses the bacterial membrane.
