Influência das variações pluviais nos teores de flúor em águas de poços

Introduction: The fluoridation surveillance in the public water supply came up with the need to develop mechanisms that would help society in the control of water quality. To perform reliable analysis, variables such as depth of the wells and pluvial variations should be subject of research and study. Objectives: To analyze the fluoride levels of deep wells in periods of rain and drought, corresponding to four brazilian cities and compare the results. Methodology: It was made the mapping of the water supply network and the identification of the sampling points according to the number of deep wells in each locality, selecting those who had the natural fluoride level. Three points were defined for each source of water supply, and the addresses were randomly selected. The samples were analyzed in duplicate at the laboratory of the Center for Research in Public Health of the Dentistry School of Araçatuba – UNESP, during 8 months, in periods of rain and drought (total absence of rain). Results: 174 analysis were conducted, the mean fluoride levels for rain and drought times were, respectively: 0,71 and 0,73. It was used the Student’s t test (p <0.05). Conclusion: There wasn’t statistically significant differences for the periods of rain and drought in any of the cities, at the year of 2010. This study highlights the importance of health surveillance, because beyond of ensuring social control, there is also the search for investigating variables that may have directly and / or indirectly influence on the results of the analysis.

O trabalho do enfermeiro na vigilância à saúde da criança sob o olhar da gestão da Atenção Básica à Saúde

This study aimed at apprehending and analyzing the perspective of Primary Health Care managers concerning nurses’ work in Children’s Health Surveillance in a city in São Paulo state. The study population consisted of eight professionals from different professional categories with direct activity in the city’s management of the population’s Health Surveillance. It is a descriptive, qualitative study. Data were collected by means of recorded semi-structured interviews. The framework used for data analysis was the thematic Content Analysis Method. The results were systematized into three themes: 1- Managers’ conceptualizations concerning Children’s Health Surveillance and its application in practice; 2- Managers’ perspectives concerning nurses’ work in Children’s Health Surveillance; 3- Qualification of Children’s Health Surveillance under the view of the municipal management. The conceptualizations concerning Children’s Health Surveillance that were apprehended showed to be convergent as they indicated this model’s appropriateness to identify and prioritize children’s care in vulnerability conditions in the territory where they live. However, some managers did not include, in their statements, health promotion aspects as one of the cornerstones of their managerial action. Nurses were considered to be fundamental in the Children’s Health Surveillance process due to their competencies and responsibilities undertaken in this health provision level. The main difficulties for adequate implementation of Children’s Health Surveillance in Primary Health Care and the proposal to overcome them were pointed out. It was concluded that, under the managers’ perspectives, nurses can greatly contribute to Children’s Health Surveillance in Primary Health Care as members of the health care team; however, to that end, they need professional qualification, structural conditions and institutional support with that regard

Promoção e avaliação da atitude de Vigilância Nutricional na Atenção Básica à Saúde de municípios das bacias Piracicaba-Capivari

Considering the importance of food and nutritional surveillance as part of a community's basic health care, our objective was to expose and discuss the educational experience of eleven municipalities of the state of São Paulo geared to build an attitude of nutritional security. The accounts were made in the form of workshops with the contribution of basic health care workers of each municipality, based on daily field worksheets and followed by an evaluation process, which used a semi-structured questionnaire. The results were classified into four categories. The methodology, based on the actual participation in the workshops was considered adequate, although some exposure and removal of personal inhibitions were necessary. These barriers were left behind with the aid of group dynamic exercises. Among the themes treated, anthropometry was highlighted because of insufficient technical know-how and standardization. An attitude towards nutritional surveillance was recognized by the health-care professionals as an important basis for the nutritional practice in order to attain food and nutritional security.

Avaliação da participação e confiabilidade da população em relação à campanha de vacinação anual contra a raiva de cães e gatos no município de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brasil

The annual vaccination campaign against rabies is the most effective prevention procedure for this disease in dogs and cats and hence for human protection also. However, in 2010 and 2011, this activity was interrupted in Brazil due to the occurrence of adverse events associated with vaccination. Even though cases of canine rabies have been decreasing in the last two decades, vigilance must be strengthened in order to maintain pet owners trust in the vaccines provided in public services. This study aimed to determine pet owners participation in the annual vaccination campaign carried out in Botucatu. During March and April 2012, the period before the 42nd campaign, 312 pet owners, dogs and cats, were interviewed. The homes were randomly drawn in blocks from different sectors of the city; all houses on the same block over the 120 km² of urban area participated in the sampling process. Statistical analysis was performed descriptively. The results showed that the owners main motivation to vaccinate their pets during the campaigns is rabies prevention (36%), followed by the proximity of the vaccination station to the house (20.7%), zero cost (10.9%), and the combination of all three factors (16.1%). When asked if they would take their animals back to be vaccinated in another campaign, 60.1% answered yes, 13.5% would go to a private clinic, 2.2% would not take because they do not trust the vaccine and 1.6% had not decided yet. We conclude that the respondents have realized how dangerous Rabies is, because even after the break period, they still utilized the vaccination campaign demonstrating confidence in its effectiveness, while knowing the campaign goals facilitates understanding and participation.

Interações competitivas de triticale (Triticum turgidosecale) e nabiça (Raphanus raphanistrum) em função da população e proporção de plantas

Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de quantificar as interações competitivas e os índices de competitividade entre plantas de triticale e nabiça. A metodologia utilizada foi a de um experimento em monocultura, que variou de 25 a 500 plantas m-2 para determinar o valor a partir do qual a produção se torna independente do aumento da densidade para cada espécie, e um experimento substitutivo, com população total de 300 plantas m-2 e sete proporções de nabiça: triticale (0:300, 50:250, 100:200, 150:150, 200:100, 250:50 e 300:0), sendo conduzidos em delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com cinco repetições. Os resultados foram analisados pelo método convencional de análise de experimentos substitutivos e pelo método da produção recíproca total e por planta. Os índices calculados, a partir da massa seca das plantas, indicaram o triticale como competidor superior à nabiça.

Avaliação dos parâmetros genéticos em progênies de meio-irmãos de uma sub-população de milho composto Flint para resistência à lagarta-da-espiga Helicoverpa zea (Bod.)

Foram estudadas 100 progênies de meio-irmãos de uma sub-população de milho (Zea mays L.) Composto Flint com o objetivo de avaliar a resistência de genótipos à lagarta-da-espiga Helicoverpa zea (Bod.). Foram obtidos os valores de danos médios da lagarta-da-espiga de 1,14 cm de comprimento na espiga determinado pela escala de Widstrom e coeficiente de variação experimental (CVE) de 23,4%. Dos parâmetros genéticos avaliados, a estimativa de herdabilidade (h²) foi de 6%, variância genética (VG) de 0,0015 cm² e variância fenotípica (VF) de 0,025 cm² para danos de H. zea. No entanto, o comprimento da ponta da bráctea e compactação da bráctea alcançaram resultados de herdabilidade de 75% e 72% respectivamente. Essa sub-população de milho apresenta variabilidade genética suficiente para utilização em programas de melhoramento, sendo que a resistência à lagarta-da-espiga pode ser obtida através da melhoria dos caracteres morfológicos diretamente relacionados à praga, como a compactação e comprimento da bráctea.

With the aim of evaluating the yields of cucumber and lettuce for two cucumber population densities. inter-cropped with lettuce Under protected environment, and for two growing seasons, one from August to November 2005 and the other from February to May 2006. four experiments were conducted at UNESP Jaboticabal, SP Brazil The experimental design in each case was of randomized complete blocks with the treatments arranged in 2x4+1 factorial scheme and with four replications, where the first factor was given by two cropping systems (intercropping and individual crop), the second one for four transplanting dates for lettuce in relation to cucumber (0, 10, 20 and 30 days), and an additional treatment of the sole cucumber crop Total yield. commercial and misshapen cucumber fruits were not affected by the presence of lettuce. The growing season influenced the commercial yield of cucumber which is greater from February to May. The yield of lettuce was affected by the date of transplantation (establishment of the inter-cropping), with further reduction as the transplantation of lettuce was delayed in relation to that of cucumber Lettuce grown in intercropping with cucumber in the second growing season did not have commercial quality, due to the deep shade provided by the cucumber

Redução na população de plantas sobre a produtividade e a qualidade fisiológica da semente de soja

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de reduções na população de plantas sobre a produtividade e a qualidade fisiológica da semente de soja. Duas cultivares de soja (BRSMG 68 Vencedora e M-SOY 8001) foram cultivadas em áreas com e sem o controle de plantas daninhas. As populações estudadas foram: 400.000, 340.000, 280.000, 220.000 e 160.000 pl.ha-1, em um espaçamento entrelinhas de 0,43m. de maneira geral, a presença de plantas daninhas causa decréscimos na produtividade e no tamanho da semente produzida. Entretanto, variações na população não interferem na qualidade fisiológica, no tamanho e na massa de 100 sementes. A cultura da soja é capaz de suportar grandes reduções de população sem perdas significativas de produtividade. Essa capacidade é grandemente influenciável pela cultivar: a Vencedora suporta reduções de até 45% e a M-SOY 8001 de até 30%, em relação à população de 400.000 pl.ha-1.

Reação de cultivares de soja a uma população atípica de meloidogyne javanica

In the period of 2001/2002 a population of Meloidogyne javanica was found infecting a soybean cultivar 'CD 208" considered resistant in a field located in the County of Nuporanga, state of São Paulo (SP), Brazil. Due to this fact, it was evaluated the resistance of some of the main cultivars used in areas of the Cooperativa dos Agricultores, in Orlandia (CAROL), SP. The study was carried out in greenhouse conditions of the Departamento de Fitossanidade (Plant Protection) da UNESP/FCAV, Campus of Jaboticabal, SP, in clay pots of 5 liters. Five individual plants of the cultivars BRS 133, BRS 183, BRSMG 68, BRSMG Garantia, CD 201, MG/BR-46 Conquista, Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA) 48, IAC 22, M-SOY 7901, M-SOY 8001 and M-SOY 8400 were inoculated with 3,000 eggs and second estage juveniles of the nematode, seven days after seed germination and the evaluation was carried out 57 days after inoculation. Galls, egg masses and the reproduction factor were determined. The results pointed out that the cultivar BRSMG Garantia was tolerant to the nematode population and all others were susceptibles.

Impacto de inimigos naturais e de fatores meteorológicos sobre uma população de Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) em couve

Neste estudo, visou-se avaliar o impacto de inimigos naturais e de fatores meteorológicos na população do pulgão Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), na cultura da couve, usando-se correlação simples e análise de regressão múltipla com seleção de variáveis pelo método stepwise. A amostragem de B. brassicae foi realizada por procura visual e dos inimigos naturais através de armadilhas de sucção e de solo. Formas ápteras de B. brassicae começaram a infestar a couve em julho, atingindo pico populacional em setembro. Os fatores que apresentaram correlação significativa com a população de B. brassicae, no período que abrangeu todo o levantamento populacional, foram Diaeretiella rapae (Mc'Intosh), aranhas presentes no solo, precipitação pluviométrica e umidade relativa, sugerindo que tais fatores tiveram função importante na mortalidade do pulgão. No período de maior crescimento e declínio populacional de B. brassicae, aranhas presentes no solo mostraram-se como o fator de mortalidade mais significativo relacionado com a variação da densidade populacional do pulgão.
