title: Tuberculosis: knowledge and adherence to prophylactic measures in contact individuals of the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil

description: Abstract Background For the control of tuberculosis, it is essential to interrupt its chain of transmission. The Ministry of Health recommends 100% of contacts being examined and initiated treatment of the Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In this sense, the knowledge about the disease and adherence to prophylaxis by these contacts are factors that can interfere in the adequate control of tuberculosis. Objective To describe the knowledge of the contacts of tuberculosis patients on the disease and their adherence to prophylactic measures in the Sanitary District II in Recife / PE. Method A quantitative and descriptive study was carried out using standardized questionnaires, applied to 140 contacts of tuberculosis notified from January to December 2015. Data analysis carried out through simple frequencies. Results Among the interviewees, 75.7% were female, 55% brown, with low levels of schooling and family income; of these 84.3% believe that tuberculosis is serious, 48.6% consider that transmission is done by sharing utensils. Only 55% were invited to be examined and 76% reported not knowing they should go to the consultation or the importance of these. Conclusion The contacts of tuberculosis have poor knowledge about the disease, low adherence to primary health care and the active search for contacts is still inefficient.

title: Ecophysiology of Andropogon grass subjected to different cutting frequencies and intensities

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphogenic and structural characteristics, and demographic patterns of Andropogon gayanus subjected to different cutting frequencies and intensities. A completely randomized design was adopted in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, corresponding to three cutting heights (50, 70, and 90 cm), and two cutting intensities (50 and 70%) with four repetitions, totaling 24 plots of 7.50 × 6.25 m. For morphogenesis, there was no interaction effect (P ≤ 0.05) of treatments on stem elongation rate, leaf appearance rate, and phyllochron rate. The highest rate of leaf elongation was observed at a height of 90 cm and cut intensity of 50%, with 1.69 and 0.84 cm tiller-1 d-1 of leaf elongation at heights of 50 and 70 cm, respectively. For forage production, there was no interaction (p &gt; 0.05) between cutting intensity and cutting height. When the pasture was managed to a cutting height of 90 cm, there was a greater increase in dry leaf mass, stalk dry mass, dead forage dry mass, and total dry forage mass, which was 50.89% and 53.29% higher than pasture heights of 50 and 70 cm, respectively. There was no interaction between factors on demographic characteristics (p &gt; 0.05). A cutting height of 70 cm with a cutting intensity of 50% is recommended when handling this grass.

title: Drying and essential oil extraction of Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) fruits

description: ABSTRACT The objectives of this work were to determine the effect of the drying air temperature and fruit fragmentation on the essential oil yield of Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius) fruits, to model drying curves, and evaluate the energy consumption of the drying process. The study was conducted in Viçosa, MG, Brazil, in May 2018. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design, in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement (3 drying air temperatures and 2 fruit fragmentation types), with three replications. Whole fruits (350 g) were dried at 50, 60, and 70 °C until the water content reached a water content of 0.11 on dry basis; 90 g of these fruits where kept in the dryer until reaching an equilibrium water content for the modeling. The data of drying were fitted to 12 mathematical models, whose performances were evaluated by the coefficient of determination, mean relative error, mean estimated error, and residue distribution. The essential oil was extracted by hydro-distillation using whole or fragmented fruits. Fruits dried at 50 °C and fragmented before extraction had higher essential oil yield. The use of air temperature of 70 °C resulted in lower drying time and energy consumption. The data fitted to the Midilli model satisfactorily, regardless of the drying air temperature.

title: Use of linear programming for decision making: An analysis of cost, time and comfort of rural housing dwellings

description: ABSTRACT Brazilian agriculture production requires new types of rural buildings that are more sustainable, economical, and well adapted to their environment. Furthermore, these buildings are no longer simple living quarters, but a way of valuing rural workers. Thus, this study aimed to create a linear programming model for optimizing decision-making when different techniques and construction materials are combined to build rural housing dwellings, thereby enabling an assessment of both the cost and comfort of such buildings. The research considered localizing network facilities via analogies in order to adapt a budget matrix. Three main criteria were applied: cost, runtime, and the environmental comfort provided. The model comprised six construction systems, three types of sealing masonry, two types of roofing, and four types of tiles. Simulations were performed for two Brazilian states, considering the same reference date of validation and comparison. Each input variable resulted in a different construction model. It was demonstrated that the new industrialized construction technologies are advantageous since they provide faster execution, competitive prices, and sustainable raw materials, whilst the application of the criteria to the traditional system of reinforced concrete is also feasible. The linear programming model offers its users an additional decision-making tool for construction systems, enabling time and resource optimization.

title: Soil physical quality in response to intensification of grain production systems

description: ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado stands out in relation to grain production, however, in this region the occurrence of summer and irregular rainfall, drastically harm the non-irrigated production. Conservationist managements favor the soil physical quality and, consequently, the efficiency of soil water consumption. The objective of this study was to evaluate the soil physical quality, as a function of the conservation managements adopted, by using physical soil quality indicators, and to verify its relation with the soil organic carbon stocks and the grain yield in the Cerrado of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. For that, six treatments were evaluated: soybean (1) and maize (2) monocultures crop systems at medium level of investment in soil fertilization, soybean-maize crop succession at medium (3) and high (6) level of investment in soil fertilization, and crop succession of soybean-maize and intercropped with Urochloa ruziziensis at medium (4) and high (5) level of investment in soil fertilization, during the initial stage of no-tillage system. The treatments 3, 4, 5 and 6 showed improvement in the soil physical quality in relation to the monoculture. Pore distribution and soil organic carbon content were the main responsible for discriminating the intensified crop systems. Attributes related to water availability were important for plant growth in the 0-0.05 m layer, while for the 0.15-0.20 m layer, the highest soil aeration stood out. Productivity did not correlate with the evaluated attributes.

title: Growth and yield of cactus pear under irrigation frequencies and nitrogen fertilization

description: ABSTRACT Microirrigation associated with nitrogen (N) fertilization aims to meet the water and nutritional demands of cactus pear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth and yield of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) irrigated by microirrigation and fertilized with N. The experiment was conducted in the field at the Poço Redondo farm, Santa Luzia, PB, Brazil (6° 52’ 27’’ S and 36º 56’ 0’’ W and altitude of 299 m), between April and December 2017. The experimental design was in randomized blocks in a 5 x 2 factorial scheme, with five irrigation frequencies (7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days) and two types of fertilization (soil fertilized with N and not fertilized) in the cultivar ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’, with three replicates. Different irrigation frequencies promote reduction in green biomass yield and increase in the economic water productivity when using of the cladode for propagative material. Nitrogen fertilization increased growth, green biomass yield, water productivity and economic water productivity. The greatest economic return is obtained by producing cladodes marketed for propagative material. Reducing the frequency of irrigation promotes greater water saving, increasing the irrigated area and production by using less water at high frequency.

title: Saline-water irrigation and plant growth regulator application on zucchini fruit yield and quality

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a plant growth regulator (PGR; Stimulate®) on the yield and quality of zucchini fruits from plants of the cultivar Caserta-Italiana grown under different salinity levels of the irrigation water (SLIW). A randomized block design was used, in a 2 × 6 factorial arrangement consisted of two SLIW (0.5 and 5.0 dS m-1) and six PGR application modes: imbibition of seeds for 8 h in distilled water (PGR-T1; Control); imbibition of seeds for 8 h in PGR at 10 mL L-1 (PGR-T2); imbibition of seeds for 8 h in PGR at 10 mL L-1 plus foliar application at 10 mL L-1 at the flowering stage (PGR-T3); imbibition of seeds for 8 h in PGR at 10 mL L-1 plus two foliar applications at the flowering stage and at 20 and 30 days after sowing (PGR-T4); foliar application at 10 mL L-1 at the flowering stage (PGR-T5); and two foliar applications at 10 mL L-1 at 20 and 30 days after sowing (PGR-T6). The SLIW affected differently the variables of the zucchini crops evaluated. The PGR application to plants under no salt stress (0.5 dS m-1) increased the solid soluble concentration and biomass accumulation of zucchini fruits. The PGR application as seed treatment and foliar application at the flowering stage increased the fruit yield of zucchini plants irrigated with saline water.
