title: Performance of chlorothalonil levels and spraying intervals on Asian rust control and soybean grain yield

description: ABSTRACT In an experiment conducted in the field, during the 2017/18 growing season, with the soybean cultivar Syn 1561 IPRO, the interaction of chlorothalonil levels with application intervals was evaluated for the control of Asian soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi. The first fungicide application was performed in V8 stage, 44 days after emergence, with 1.85% rust leaflet incidence. The experiment consisted of a factorial arrangement with five fungicide levels (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 L/ha) applied at 8, 12 and 16-day intervals, using randomized block treatments and four replicates. A self-propelled sprayer with 16 bars, XR11001VS nozzles and 150 L/ha volume was employed. Leaflet rust severity in R5.4 stage and grain yield were evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, and means were compared according to Tukey’s test. At eight-day intervals (six sprayings), control ranged from 75% to 93%; at 12-day intervals (four sprayings), it ranged from 35 to 63%, and at 16-day intervals (three sprayings), control ranged from 15 to 29% according to the sprayed levels. The longer the interval between applications, the lower the response of the used level for rust control and soybean grain yield. Chlorothalonil showed fungitoxicity to integrate a program of anti-resistance strategies to control soybean rust.

title: Fungicide performance on Fusarium meridionale control, grain yield and grain damage in maize

description: ABSTRACT Gibberella ear rot (GER) in maize, caused by Fusarium graminearum species complex, is a destructive disease in southern Brazil and worldwide. Five field-experiments were conducted to determine fungicide efficacy, grain yield and grain quality (study I), as well as response of increasing rates (study II) on GER control, grain yield (GY) and grain damage (GD) in maize during the 2014/15 and 2015/16 growing seasons. Fungicides were sprayed 48 h before (preventive action) or 48 h after (curative action) inoculation of two Fusarium meridionale isolates (PR and MG). Study I consisted in applying nine active ingredients (metconazole, pyraclostrobin, tebuconazole, trifloxystrobin, prothioconazole, thiophanate-methyl, azoxystrobin, cyproconazole and carbendazim) present in eight commercial formulations at two sowing dates. Study II consisted in applying increasing rates of three fungicides evaluated at three sowing dates using only PR isolate. In study I, no differences were observed among fungicides when the variables GER, GY and GD were analyzed together. There were interactions between time of fungicide application and F. meridionale isolates when GER severity and GY were considered. Preventive fungicide application at different sowing dates and the use of MG isolate reduced GER by 11.6% and increased GY by 5.3%, compared to curative application. In study II, there was a significant interaction between fungicides and application time for GER, GY and GD. Preventive application of trifloxystrobin + prothioconazole (0.15 + 0.17 and 0.22 + 0.26 L ha-1), pyraclostrobin + metconazole (0.19 + 0.12 and 0.29 + 0.18 L ha-1) and carbendazim (2 L ha-1) reduced GER by 41 and 50%, 47 and 54%, and 54% at the three sowing dates, respectively. There was an increment of 45.7% and 46.8% in GY when trifloxystrobin + prothioconazole (0.15 + 0.17 and 0.22 + 0.26 L ha-1), respectively, were preventively sprayed at the three sowing dates, compared to the control treatment. Trifloxystrobin + prothiocanazole, pyraclostrobin + metconazole and carbendazim (1.0 and 2.0 L ha-1) preventively sprayed at two rates reduced GD incidence by 53.5 and 48.7%, 47.7 and 57.5%, 48.1 and 50.5%, respectively, for each fungicide and rate, and could be incorporated into a disease management program.

title: The effects of hydrogymnastics on functional autonomy in elderly women: a meta-analysis

description: Abstract Aim: To Verify the effects of hydrogymnastics on functional autonomy in elderly women. Method: In November 2018, a systematic review of the literature was performed in the databases MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS, PEDro, Cochrane, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, SCOPUS e CINAHL. Two independent researchers selected randomized clinical trials, which evaluated the effects of hydrogymnastics over healthy elderly women performance on functional tests performance on functional tests. From each study they selected the number of participants in both experimental and control groups (EG and CG), age, intervention protocol, mean and standard deviation before and after the intervention for the following variables: legs and biceps muscular strength, posterior muscle chain extensibility, and agility - all of which compose the functional autonomy on Rikli and Jones test. We analyzed the methodological quality and the risk of bias through the Jadad Scale and the Cochrane tool respectively. We performed the data analysis through the random effects model and the mean difference between CG and EG. The analysis of the publication bias was done with Egger Test. Results: We found a total of 887 studies in the aforementioned databases, and five randomized clinical trials were included in the present meta-analysis. In spite of the evidence level is very low, the hydrogymnastics promoted an increase in agility and leg muscle strength in elderly women.

title: Infestations of Meloidogyne exigua in Asian rubber clones in Mato Grosso, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Among the phytosanitary problems of rubber tree cultivation is the incidence of root knot, more specifically Meloidogyne exigua race 3, demonstrating great importance for the crop, which was verified in the present evaluation since it led to crop abandonment. In this experiment, infestation of M. exigua was evaluated in rubber tree crop, without rootstock identification, in the roots and soil and in clones GT 1, PR 255, PB 235, PB 217 and RRIM 600; infestations were verified between clones/grafts and among the populations evaluated in two periods of 2013. The experiment was conducted in the municipality of Itiquira - MT, where samples of roots and soil were collected at each point in May and November. The nematological analysis of roots and soil was carried out according to specific methodologies. Statistical analysis was performed in a completely randomized design, with 5 x 2 factorial scheme and 15 replicates. Infestation data were transformed into log (X + 1) and subjected to analysis of variance and, when significant, means were compared according to Tukey’s test at 5% probability. The populations were high for all clones, and the infestations in the roots and soil in May were higher than those in November. The infestations of M. exigua in the roots and soil, means between data from May and November for evaluated clones/grafts, did not present significant differences according to Tukey’s test, but there was a significant difference according to the same test between the mean infestations of May and November.

title: Evolutionary analysis of morphology and irrigation of the thymus of boar’s (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758)

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to comparatively describe the arteries responsible for the irrigation of the cervical and thoracic thymus lobes of Boars, also determining the morphological characteristics of this body in this species to the point of evolutionarily correlating them with other representatives of the Suidae family. The left and right cervical thymic lobes received branches distributed by common right and left, superficial right and left carotid arteries, and neck and, sometimes, the outer left chest and left subclavian arteries. This feature was vascular maintained throughout evolution and is present in more recent strains and breeds of swine. Irrigation of the right and left thoracic thymic lobes was performed predominantly by direct and indirect ipsilateral and contralateral branches of the right and left internal thoracic arteries and also by branches of the left subclavian artery. Direct branches of the right and left superficial cervical artery and right branches of the right internal thoracic artery were found for the average thymic lobe, this being a unique description in this species, demonstrating a primitive feature in this evolutionary ancestor.

title: A past medical history of heart failure is associated with less fluid therapy in septic patients

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the underlying factors that affect fluid resuscitation in septic patients. Methods: The present study was a case-control study of 181 consecutive patients admitted to a Medical Intensive Care Unit between 2012 and 2016 with a diagnosis of sepsis. Demographic, clinical, radiological and laboratory data were analyzed. Results: One hundred-thirty patients (72%) received ≥ 30mL/kg of IV fluids on admission. On univariate analyses, a past history of coronary artery disease and heart failure was associated with less fluid therapy. On multivariate analyses, a history of heart failure (OR = 2.31; 95%CI 1.04 - 5.14) remained significantly associated with receiving less IV fluids. Left ventricular ejection fraction, systolic/diastolic function, left ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension were not associated with IV fluids. The amount of IV fluids was not associated with differences in mortality. During the first 24 hours, patients with a past history of heart failure received 2,900mLof IV fluids [1,688 - 4,714mL] versus 3,977mL [2,500 - 6,200mL] received by those without a history of heart failure, p = 0.02. Conclusion: Septic patients with a past history of heart failure received 1L less IV fluids in the first 24 hours with no difference in mortality.

title: Soil conservation management with cover crops: effects on critical energy levels, release and dispersion of aggregates

description: ABSTRACT The normalized dispersion index (NDI) and the b/a index are commonly used to express the stability of aggregates measured by ultrasound. However, few studies have used the critical energy (CE) extracted from modeling to explain the effects of soil use and management on soil aggregation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of soil cover on the CE level required for dispersion of aggregates of a Typic Hapludalf. Soil samples collected from the 0.0-0.05 m depth were evaluated in five different managements with cover plants: perennial soybean (PS), peanuts (P), spontaneous vegetation (SV), black oat/forage turnip (BOFT), and black oat/hairy vetch (BOHV). Aggregates ? 2 mm of the treatments were exposed to ultrasonic irradiation during 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 s. The specific applied energies were calculated based on sonification time and potency: 0, 745, 1490, 2980, and 4470 J·g–1. After each sonification, sand (2000-53 ?m), silt (53-2 ?m) and clay (&lt; 2 ?m) were quantified. The mass of aggregates of each size class was modeled as a function of the ultrasonic energy. The CE, the NDI and the b/a indexes were coefficients extracted from these models. Cover crops influenced the critical energy levels required for dispersion of aggregates of the Typic Hapludalf. However, our methodology did not prove management systems with intercrops of the cover crops, as black oats and vetch, contribute more effectively to the increase of soil aggregation.

title: Crosslinking starch/oat hull mixtures for use in composites with PLA

description: Abstract Modification of composite components has been proposed as a tool to improve their functional properties. The present work studied crosslinking of a starch/oat hull mixture by reactive extrusion with sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP), for application in composites with polylactic acid (PLA). The treated mixture was characterized regarding degree of substitution, FT-IR, and thermal properties. The native and modified mixtures were processed by injection molding, together with PLA and glycerol. The microstructure, mechanical properties, shrinkage, density, and thermal properties of the composites were determined. The FT-IR results, increase in phosphorus content and thermal stability after starch/fiber mixture treatment with STMP suggested the occurrence of crosslinking. Better interfacial adhesion between oat hulls and the polymeric matrix was observed in electron micrographs of the composites containing the modified components. Slight decreases in tensile strength and modulus were observed in the modified composites, suggesting that extrusion and subsequent milling may have broken some structures/linkages.

title: Grafting polypropylene over hollow glass microspheres by reactive extrusion

description: Abstract Hollow glass microspheres HGM are light, round, hollow, hydrophilic microspheres used to produce polyolefin composites with reduced density. To maintain mechanical strength, it is necessary to improve the adhesion between the polymer matrix and the microspheres, which is done by a compatibilizer. For polypropylene composites a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene copolymer PP-g-MAH is employed. The melt mixing is done in a reactive extrusion when the maleic group of the compatibilizer reacts with hydroxyl groups present at the microspheres’ surface, grafting a long PP chain. The aim of this work is to quantify the esterification grafting conversion and its efficiency during the reactive extrusion to the formation of PP/HGM composites compatibilized with PP-g-MAH. Techniques like TGA, FTIR and SEM were used to quantify the grafted PP content formed and the efficiency of the esterification reaction, which is mainly dependent of the compatibilizer concentration and reactive extrusion temperature.

title: COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT CRITERIA IN THE PREVALENCE OF METABOLIC SYNDROME IN STUDENTS FROM PARANAVAÍ, PARANÁ

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the difference in the proportion of students with metabolic syndrome, diagnosed according to different criteria. Methods: The sample consisted of 241 students (136 boys and 105 girls) aged 10 to 14 years, from public and private schools in Paranavaí, Paraná. We used three distinct diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, considering the presence of at least three of the following risk factors: increased waist circumference, hypertension, fasting hyperglycemia, low HDL-C, and elevated triglycerides. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome found was 1.7% (confidence interval of 95% - 95%CI 0-3.3) for the IDF criterion; 3.3% (95%CI 1.0-5.6) for Cook; and 17.4% (95%CI 12.6-22.3) for Ferranti. Analyzing the criteria in pairs, the agreement between IDF and Cook was 97.5% (k=0.95); between IDF and Ferranti, 83.4% (k=0.67); and between Cook and Ferranti, 85.9% (k=0.72). Onlyone student (0.4%) was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome solely by the IDF criterion, while 34 (14.1%) were diagnosed exclusively by Ferranti. The comparison of the three criteria showed that Ferranti presented the highest proportion of metabolic syndrome (p&lt;0.001), and Cook had a greater proportion than IDF (p&lt;0.001). Conclusions: We found a significant difference in the proportion of metabolic syndrome in the three criteria. The choice of which criterion to use can compromise not only the percentage of metabolic syndrome prevalence but also interfere in strategies of intervention and prevention in children and adolescents with and without metabolic syndrome, respectively.

title: TRACKING OF CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS FROM CHILDHOOD TO EARLY ADOLESCENCE: MODERATION EFFECT OF SOMATIC MATURATION

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness’ tracking from childhood to adolescence, as well as to test the moderation role of somatic maturation. Methods: Our sample was composed by 375 children (197 boys), with a baseline age between 7 and 10 years old. The children were followed-up over three years. Body mass and stature were measured as anthropometric indicators and were used to estimate maturity status through Moore’s method. Cardiorespiratory fitness was evaluated through 9-minute running test. Body adiposity was estimated through the subcutaneous skinfold method, with measures of triceps and subscapular skinfolds and used as a covariate. Sample was categorized into tertiles. Thereafter, the Kappa (k) coefficient and Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient (LCCC) tests were adopted to verify stability. Dummy variable in regression was used to test moderation effects. All analyses were conducted in Stata 14.0, adopting p&lt;0.05. Results: Cardiorespiratory fitness presented a moderate to low tracking from childhood to adolescence (k=0.294; LCCC=0.458). Moreover, maturity status significantly moderated the association between cardiorespiratory fitness at childhood and adolescence (regardless of cohort and body adiposity) among boys (β=0.644; p=0.003) and role sample (β=0.184; p=0.020), but not girls (-0.217; p=0.413). Conclusions: Tracking of cardiorespiratory fitness from childhood to adolescence is moderate to low in both sexes. Moreover, maturity status moderated the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness at baseline and in adolescence. A lower age at peak height velocity was associated to a greater cardiorespiratory fitness.
