title: Enzyme activity in the micropylar region of Melanoxylon brauna Schott seeds during germination under heat stress conditions

description: Abstract: Recent studies indicate that global temperatures will rise substantially in the 21st century, leading to the extinction of several plant species, as plant metabolism and germination are greatly affected by temperature. Melanoxylon brauna, a tree species native to the Atlantic Forest that occurs from northeastern to southeastern Brazil, is one of the many species threatened by global warming. Despite the economic and ecological importance of M. brauna, studies investigating the influence of heat stress on seed germination and biochemical responses are still incipient. This study aimed to evaluate enzyme activity in the micropylar region of M. brauna seeds during germination under heat stress conditions. Endo-β-mannanase, α-galactosidase, polygalacturonase, pectin methylesterase, pectin lyase, total cellulase, 1,3-β-glucosidase, and 1,4-β-glucosidase activities were determined in micropyles of seeds imbibed for 24, 48 and 72 h at 25, 35 and 45 °C. Seed germination was highest at 25 °C. Endo-β-mannanase activity was not detected under any of the experimental conditions, but imbibition temperature had a significant effect on the activity of all other enzymes.

title: Signs of a chronic problem: need for water governance to promote basin committees, coordinate plans and manage Information

description: Abstract The current water governance in Brazil contributes to the increase of water scarcity problems in the São Francisco basin, contributing to conflicts over water use. This paper assesses the challenges and barriers of water governance in the São Francisco river basin based on a robust collection and analysis of data from various repositories and institutions at the national, state, river basin and municipal levels. The methodology includes an analysis of institutional interaction by examining the coordination of water resources plans, a review of the implementation of basin tributary committees and the quantity and quality available data related to water management. Most tributaries’ river plans were developed by the government; therefore, many of the plans analyzed conflicted with other regional plans due to a lack of coordination of proposed actions. In addition, the semiarid region has implemented few tributary river committees and the basin as a whole lacks an appropriate mechanism for generating, updating and sharing comprehensive information relevant to water management. It is therefore imperative to improve coordination between plans using integrated assessment and decision-making tools, and to reinforce public participation through tributary committees. Further, a collaborative data platform should be adopted, from which it will be possible share information generated in different sectors of society.

title: Silage from residue from extraction of cassava starch in substitution of ground corn in sheep feed

description: SUMMARY With aimto evaluate the effect of replacing the ground grain corn for silage of waste resulting from the extraction of cassava starch in diets for sheep in confinement, was measured the consumption, the digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, and the rumen pH. Were used five cannulated sheep, distributed in outline Latin square (5 x 5), composed of five animals, five diets and five experimental periods of 21 days, for a total of 105 days of experiment. The treatments were different levels of substitution (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%) of maize for silage of waste resulting from the extraction of cassava starch. The replacement levels obtained significant difference, obtaining cubic variation for the intake of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE)and total carbohydrates (TC), and quadratic effect for neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF). But there were not significant differences in nutrient digestibility as the substitution of corn for silage of waste resulting from the extraction of cassava starch intake as well as not interfered in ruminal pH values. It is recommended the replacement of corn for silage 75% of residue of cassava starch extraction.

title: Amateur Theatre in Rio de Janeiro: Dramatic Associativism in the Construction of Citizenship

description: ABSTRACT Between 1861 and 1930, there were 196 active amateur dramatic associations in Rio de Janeiro, which were named societies, guilds, clubs or groups. This article intends to analyze them as associative forms of expression that struggled to obtain some sort of recognition, better schooling, urban, social or work-related improvements, or that exercised entertainment practices in the construction and affirmation of their citizenship within the daily life of the capital city. Scattered throughout the city, they were composed of blue-collar workers, public servants, soldiers, lawyers, numbers game financial controllers; individuals who were parts of different social groups and who had very distincts goals, but one common practice: to make and watch the theater.

title: Cognitive, functional and physical activity impairment in elderly with Alzheimer's disease

description: ABSTRACT Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative disorder that negatively affects quality of life of patients and family members. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the cognition, level of physical activity and functioning of elderly individuals with mild AD and those without dementia. Methods: The study comprised 24 elderly with mild AD (mean age = 76.9 ± 5.3 years) and 30 elderly without dementia (mean age = 74.1 ± 5.6 years). The following instruments were applied to evaluate cognitive functions: MMSE; Frontal Assessment Battery; Clock Drawing Test; Corsi Blocks, and Verbal Paired Associates. Event-related potential P300 was used to evaluate cognitive processing. The Modified Baecke Questionnaire For Older Adults was applied to evaluate the level of physical activity together with use of a pedometer for 7 consecutive days. For the evaluation of the functioning, the Direct Assessment of Functional Status-Revised scale and functional tests were used. Results: There was a significant difference between the groups in level of physical activity and functioning, except on the test evaluating flexibility. Conclusion: Elderly with AD had cognitive, functional and physical activity deficits which can manifest even in the early stages of the disease.

title: Slavery demography and the impact of abolitionist laws in Espírito Santo (1850-1888)

description: Abstract This work consists of a demographic study of Espírito Santo province between 1850 and 1888. In it will be considered the socioeconomic changes, responsible to a large extent for the changes in the of demographic design of the central and southern regions of Espírito Santo. The slavery laws that operated in the province in the sense of liberating slaves little by little, preserving the process of gradual abolition politically oriented in Brazil which eventually led to complete and unrestricted abolition, will be analysed. The analysis begins in the 1850s, because it is a period of changes in the economic, social and demographic of Espírito Santo. With the emergence of the coffee culture, the province reached the highest rate of slave labor in its history. Such an analysis is critical to understanding subsequent years. From the peak of the slave population (1850-1871), until the progressive decline, the impacts of the laws of 1871 (Law of the Free Belly) and of 1885 (Law of the Sexagenarians) in the slave demography of the Espírito Santo were analyzed.

title: Fetal sexing in small ruminants through visualization of the genital tubercle

description: SUMMARY The objective of this study was to verify the accuracy of sexing and fetal number estimation in small ruminants by ultrasonographic examination. Fifty fetuses from 36 sheep and 23 fetuses from 11 goats were evaluated. In the case of sheep, twenty-four, ten, and two pregnancy were single, double, and triple, respectively. Regarding the goats, three, five, two, and one simple pregnancy were single, double, triple, and quadruple, respectively. The evaluations were performed on days 55 and 65 of gestation, by means of transrectal ultrasonographic examination, using a dual-frequency linear transducer, (6.0 and 8.0 MHz). Fetal sex was diagnosed by the location of the genital tubercle or visualization of external genitalia. The accuracy of fetal sexing was evaluated using the Chi-square test (X2) considering a 5% significance level. The gestational period interfered in the accuracy of fetal sexing in both species (P &lt;0.05). Obtained results showed 30% and 82.61% accuracy on day 55 of gestation, and 90% and 95.83% on day 65 for goats and sheep, respectively. The fetal sex and the type of pregnancy did not interfere in the sexing accuracy in both species during the evaluated periods (P&gt; 0.05). Thus, B-mode ultrasonography is an efficient method to perform an early diagnosis of fetal sex and to determine the number of fetuses in the studied small ruminants on day 65 of gestation. In addition, the accuracy of fetal sexing is not influenced by the type of pregnancy or fetal sex.

title: Modelo de avaliação do nível de sustentabilidade urbana: proposta para as cidades brasileiras

description: ResumoOs indicadores de sustentabilidade permitem captar características do ambiente urbano e revelar a (in)sustentabilidade urbana, gerando informações que dão suporte às políticas públicas e ao processo de desenvolvimento. A partir dessa constatação, o objetivo do artigo é propor um modelo para análise da sustentabilidade urbana, construído a partir das matrizes de Acselrad (2009). Tal proposta é dividida em: uma abordagem conceitual, marco ordenador para avaliação da sustentabilidade do espaço urbano, no sentido de unificar o entendimento sobre a sustentabilidade pelos diversos públicos interessados; e uma abordagem operacional, que define as matrizes, as dimensões e os temas para análise da sustentabilidade, com seus respectivos critérios de análises, indicadores e parâmetros de operacionalização, que permitem o monitoramento da sustentabilidade das cidades, servindo como instrumento para orientação das políticas públicas urbanas. Em termos metodológicos, trata-se de um ensaio teórico baseado na literatura sobre sustentabilidade urbana, especialmente acerca das matrizes discursivas. A importância do trabalho refere-se ao fato de o modelo permitir a análise da sustentabilidade urbana, dadas as especificidades da problemática das cidades brasileiras. Em termos de contribuição, é importante por gerar subsídios para análises mais consistentes desses problemas e, por meio de indicadores urbanos e de critérios de análises, possibilitar uma orientação para o processo de desenvolvimento urbano e de monitoramento da sustentabilidade das cidades, oferecendo suporte às políticas públicas.

title: Floristic composition of an inselberg in the semi-arid of Paraíba state, Brazilian Northeast

description: Abstract This work aimed to catalogue the vascular flora of an inselberg in the municipality of Patos, state of Paraíba, Brazil and recognise the distribution of the tree species in different altitude classes. The study was developed in the rocky outcrop locally known as Morro do Carioca. Botanical collections were held monthly for 18 months. For identification of taxa, specialized bibliographies, image guides, specialized sites and specialists were consulted. There were 120 species, distributed in 101 genera and 46 families, with being Fabaceae the most representative (21 species), followed by Euphorbiaceae (11 spp.), Convolvulaceae (nine spp. ) and Malvaceae (eight spp.). The predominant habit was shrub (35 species), followed by Subshrub (29 spp.), herbaceous (29 spp.), climber (14 spp.) and arboreal (13 spp.). There were also 17 endemic Caatinga species. The most representative altitude classes were the Base - 250–291 m (four spp.) and the Outcrops as a whole (four spp.). The richness recorded in the outcrop studied is equivalent to that recorded for other rocky outcrops in the semi-arid region of Brazil.

title: Influence of Pinus taeda plantation on the seed bank in an Araucaria Rainforest region

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a Pinus taeda plantation on the floristic and species composition of the seed bank in remnant of the Araucaria Rainforest (FOM). For this purpose, a total of 160 samples were collected from the seed bank, 80 of a FOM remnant and 80 from a P. taeda plantation. The samples were placed to germinate in two different greenhouses, under 35% and 75% shading level. A total of 11,669 woody and herbaceous individuals were counted, distributed in 31 botanical families and 84 species. The families Asteraceae and Poaceae were the most representative in richness of herbaceous species. With regard to woody species, Solanaceae and Asteraceae were the most representative in both areas. The species P. taeda was recorded only in the seed bank of the plantation. The seed bank of the pinus plantation was characterized mainly by the low richness of woody species, which shows its influence on the seed stock. On the other hand, the FOM remnant seems not to be influenced by the proximity of the pinus plantation to it is seed bank.
