title: Desire of beauty and ritual in Amerindian verbal arts

description: Abstract This essay aims at discussing an aesthetic practice involving storytelling. Quem Conta um conto is a group connected with the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul that has been experimenting with activities related to oral narratives in a Mbyá-Guarani school. Considering the desire for beauty that underpins indigenous life, it has been possible, by means of verbal art, to understand the relationships between different kinds of poetics. Verbal art has also been a helpful tool in understanding the ways in which this community creatively borrows from other people’s points of view. It has also been possible to understand Amerindian artistic practices as ritualistic means of maintaining both the balance of the cosmos and of the community.

title: The father-son relationship with Down syndrome in O filho eterno and Mallko y papá

description: abstract Literature, as noted by the father character in the novel, O filho eterno by Cristóvão Tezza, did not bring to the literary scene protagonists with Down syndrome. In light of this, the present article discusses two contemporary literary works: O filho eterno, by the Brazilian author Cristóvão Tezza (2007) and Mallko y papá, by the Argentine author Gusti Rosemffet (2016). Both works portray the daily lives of parents who have children with Down syndrome. The article underscores how the relationship between fathers and sons with Down syndrome emblematizes the social process of accepting difference. The theoretical references will be Bakhtin (1979; 2003), who will be used to reflect on the time and space of enunciation; Perrone-Moisés (2016), whose work will be employed to understand the implications of the auto-fictional genre; and Gilbert (2017), whose text will assist us in thinking about the representation of Down syndrome in cultural productions.

title: Ladrão de galinhas: a dialogue on aesthetics in the image book

description: Abstract Image-driven literatures have proven, over time, to be of equal importance to other genres available in educational spaces. As such, we propose to analyze the aesthetic attributes that comprise one of these works, Ladrão de galinha (Chicken thief), written by Béatrice Rodriguez (2009), which was selected and sent by the National School Library Program (called PNBE) in 2014 to the public networks of Early Childhood Education. We adopted as methodology a qualitative approach, taking as reference Barthes’s (2013b) semiotics. We use the concepts of enunciation, displacement and representation, which contribute to the process of textual signification, understanding that they do so such that other aesthetic attributes are effective communicators in the realization of visual literature. Among the other specialists, we rely on the theoretical support of Collaro (2012), Gomes Filho (2014), Heller (2014), Hunt (2010), Kandinsky (1997), Kant (2013), Linden (2011), Neitzel and Carvalho (2013), Neitzel and Oliani (2008), Nikolajeva and Scott (2011), Santaella (2012), Todorov (2011), Willsberg and Forssman (2007). We have determined that there is a continuous effort to improve this kind of book composed exclusively of images, which allows for appreciation of the visual text beyond entertainment, making it an object of actualization through the aesthetic experience that it provides. We raise the question of “readability” in regards to the visual text so that we might accept or reject, improve or question the possibilities of reading that stimulate thought.

title: The construction of an Other in the editions and translations of the work of Carolina Maria de Jesus

description: Abstract This article investigates how translations and different editions of the Afro-Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus’ journals were used to construct a specific image of 1960s Brazil for a foreign audience. This article debates the power of representation not only by authors but also by editors, publishers, and translators, that is to say the entire publication process, which often limits authors’ decision-making powers. I compare the edition and translation strategies used by Audálio Dantas in the publication of Quarto de despejo (1960) and by David St. Clair in the translation Child of the dark (1962) to the strategies used in Meu estranho diário (1996), translated as The unedited diaries of Carolina Maria de Jesus (1998) by Nancy P.S. Naro e Cristina Mehrtens. In this analysis, intersections of race, gender, and class are fundamental to the international portrayal of De Jesus. I discuss translation as the tool for making these constructions possible, as well as their political reach.

title: Physiological changes in osmo and hydroprimed cucumber seeds germinated in biosaline water

description: Biosaline agriculture has been a viable alternative for agricultural production in regions with lack of good quality water. To enable the cultivation of vegetables in high electrical conductivities, seed priming has been used to increase tolerance to stress caused by use of brackish water. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of osmo and hydropriming in cucumber seeds cv. Caipira germinated biosaline in water, regarding germination and biochemical changes during the germinative process. The experimental design was totally randomized, with four replications of 50 seeds or 10 seedlings, in a factorial scheme 6x3; with six priming conditions (control, osmopriming during 24 and 48 hours, hydropriming with 1, 2 and 3 cycles of hydration-dehydration) and three biosaline water (fish farming biosaline wastewater) concentrations in distilled water (0, 50 e 100%). We evaluated the kinetics and percentage of germination; germinative metabolism and activity of antioxidant enzymes. According to the results, one hydropriming cycle is faster and more efficient to improve the performance of cucumber seedling in biosaline water and this can be used in substrate for germinating seeds of cucumber cv. Caipira.

title: Alternating temperature and accelerated aging in mobilization of reserves during germination of Carica papaya L. seeds

description: The aim of this study was to identify the phases of water absorption during germination of Carica papaya seeds and evaluate the influence of alternating temperature and accelerated aging on mobilization of reserves during germination. Weight gain was evaluated, obtaining the imbibition curve. Phase I of germination comprises the period from zero to five hours; phase II, from five to 120 hours; and phase III begins after 144 hours. Seeds were subjected to the germination test under temperatures of 25 ºC and of 20-30 ºC (16/8 h), and before and after accelerated aging (43 °C / 72 h). During the germination test, at initial time, after 4, 10, 120, and 240 hours of soaking, we determined the levels of soluble sugars, starch, lipids, and total proteins. Greater germination was observed under alternating temperature. Under this condition, there is reduction of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins in phase I, and fluctuations in lipid levels, and an increase in protein levels during phases II and III. Mobilization of lipids in papaya seeds is not influenced by accelerated aging, but the seeds subjected to aging have lower protein content in phase III.

title: Physiological, physical, and morpho-anatomical changes in Libidibia ferrea ((Mart. ex Tul.) L.P. Queiroz) seeds after overcoming dormancy

description: Seed dormancy is a phenomenon that affects the distribution of plant species in time. However, it may slow germination and consequently hinder seedling production in nurseries. Many seeds of forest species of the Fabaceae family, such as Libidibia ferrea (Brazilian ironwood), have physical dormancy caused by impermeability of the seed coat to water. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological, physical, and morpho-anatomical characteristics of L. ferrea seeds before and after application of different treatments for overcoming dormancy. We evaluated the imbibition curves, germination percentage, germination speed index (GSI), the force required to puncture the micropylar region, and morpho-anatomical changes through images obtained from a scanning electron microscope (SEM) before and after application of treatments for overcoming dormancy. L. ferrea seeds immersed in sulfuric acid show a triphasic pattern of imbibition. The required force to puncture the micropylar region of L. ferrea seeds is less for both the treatment with boiling water and for treatments with sulfuric acid. In addition, the required force to puncture the micropylar region decreases during imbibition of the seeds after application of sulfuric acid. The time of application of sulfuric acid influences the thickness of the material removed from the macrosclereid layer of the seed coat.

title: Dynamics of reserves of soybean seeds during the development of seedlings of different commercial cultivars

description: Physiological quality and vigor of the seeds comprise properties that determine a high level of activity and performance during germination and seedling emergence, having a direct relation with the establishment of the stand of a crop. In this context, the assessment of seedling development, including the analysis of the seed reserves mobilization are a reliable method to investigate the physiological potential of seed lots. In this preliminary study, the aim was to investigate the dynamics of seed reserves mobilization of a sample of soybean commercial cultivars. By means of the seedling length bioassay and weight of dry matter of seeds, cotyledons, hypocotyls and radicles, information on the reserves mobilization during the germination process was obtained. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and Scott and Knott test, and afterwards, phenotypic correlations between traits were obtained. The results have shown that the dry matter of seeds, reserves reduction of seeds and dry matter of seedlings are positively correlated, and thus, seeds containing more reserves may be more effective during the early development of seedlings. In contrast, reserve reduction of seeds and conversion efficiency of the seeds reserves in the dry matter of seedlings are negatively correlated.

title: Reduced time for evaluation of the germination test for sunflower seeds

description: Establishing ideal conditions and speed in carrying out the germination test for sunflower seeds is of utmost importance in quality control programs of companies dedicated to the production of high technology seeds. In this regard, the aim of this study was to verify the possibility of reducing the evaluation time of the germination test of sunflower seeds in different substrates and temperatures. Six seed lots of the cultivar Helio 251 and six lots of the cultivar Helio 253 were used. As well as germination, determinations were made of first count germination and seed health. The seeds were kept in a germination chamber at 25 ºC, 30 ºC, and 20-30 ºC for the paper substrate, and 25 ºC and 30 ºC for the sand substrate. To verify the possibility of reducing the evaluation time of the germination test, the number of normal seedlings were counted daily, up to the tenth day after sowing. It was concluded that it is possible to conclude the germination test on the seventh day after sowing in sand at the temperature of 25 °C.

title: Aryl removal methods and passion fruit seed positions: Germination and emergence

description: Abstract: Yellow passion fruit has conquered a significant position in the agribusiness of tropical fruits; therefore, farmers have been interested in expanding their groves, and technical information that guarantees the high yield of the farmings is needed. Aiming to observe factors related to the propagative material targeted at quality and maximization of the genetic potential, the objective of the study consisted in assessing germination and emergence of passion fruit seeds collected in three positions in the fruits and submitted to different methods of mucilage removal (aryl). The passion fruits were split in three parts: distal, medial and proximal and the contents of each part was divided in two. The content of each part of the fruit was submitted to mechanical and by fermentation methods for removal of aryl. It is concluded that the seed position in the fruit does not interferes with the germination. The aryl removal method by mechanical extraction affects the germination and seedling emergence.
