Parasitic infections in ornamental cichlid fish in the Peruvian Amazon

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and seasonal distribution of the main parasite species in Amazonian ornamental cichlids that affect their trade. The study was conducted from August 2007 to September 2009. We sampled 3042 specimens from 9 different species, of which 9.47% had at least one type of external parasite. 81.25% of the cases occurred in the dry season. Crenicichla anthurus (28.57%) was the most parasitized, followed by Aequidens diadema (26.32%), Pterophyllum scalare (22.69%), Cichlasoma sp. (9.52%), Apistogramma sp. (3.88%) and Symphysodon aequifasciatus (3.66%). Monogenea was the most abundant group of parasites, occurring in 66.67% of the cases, of which 96.88% occurred in the dry season. This parasite infested 95.68% of Pterophyllum scalare, 76.67% of Apistogramma sp, 33.33% of Cichlasoma sp. and 23.81% of Symphysodon aequifasciatus cases. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infested 100% of Aequidens diadema, 76.19% of Symphysodon aequifasciatus, 66.67% of Cichlasoma sp, 41.67% of Crenicichla anthurus and 23.33% of Apistogramma sp cases. Myxosporidia infested 58.33% of Crenicichla anthurus. Trichodina infested 4.32% of Pterophyllum scalare. The prevalence of these parasites is related to the season, preferred habitat, fish behavior, individual susceptibility and handling of animals during transportation by fishermen.

Life cycle of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) on ornamental plants, mostly Arecaceae

The red palm mite, Raoiella indica Hirst, has been primarily found associated with coconut and musaceous plants in the New World. However, it has also been recorded on several other palms, heliconiaceous and zingiberaceous species. This study was conducted to evaluate the suitability of different botanical families on which R. indica has been collected in the field and of arecaceous plants of the natural vegetation of the neotropics. In total, ten species of Arecaceae as well as Heliconia psittacorum [Heliconiaceae] and Alpinia purpurata [Zingiberacae] were evaluated, using coconut as a control. The study was carried out under controlled conditions (29 +/- A 0.5 A degrees C, 60 +/- A 10 % RH and photoperiod 12 h of light). Raoiella indica was able to complete immature development only on coconut, Adonidia merrillii, Ptychosperma macarthurii, H. psittacorum and A. purpurata. Duration of the immature phase (egg-adult) ranged between 21.5 days on coconut to 34.1 days on A. purpurata. Longevity was at least 50 % greater and oviposition at least 38 % higher on coconut than on other plants. Intrinsic rate of increase (r(m)) was higher on coconut (0.166) and A. merrillii (0.042), but negative on the other two plant species. Raoiella indica could not reach adulthood on any of the other ten arecaceous species considered in the study. The results suggested R. indica to be a threat to A. merrillii in addition to coconut, but not to other evaluated plants. However, complementary studies should be conducted to investigate whether the experimental procedures adopted in this study could not have prevented the mite from a better performance than it could have been under field conditions, especially in relation to Mauritia flexuosa, one of the dominant arecaceous plants in South America.

Fonte alternativa de K obtida da produção de KCl a partir da rocha silicática potássica (verdete) na cultura de milho

Para produzir o termopotássio e, até mesmo, o KCl, a rocha silicática potássica (verdete) passa pelo processo de calcinação. Neste processo é gerado um resíduo denominado coproduto que contém em sua composição química 3% a 4% de K2O, Ca, Mg e Si e apresenta baixa solubilidade em água. O presente trabalho objetivou testar a hipótese de que doses de K2O na forma de coproduto fornecem potássio para as plantas de milho em menor quantidade do que as mesmas doses na forma de KCl, inclusive no estudo do efeito residual, e que o potássio extraído do solo pela resina trocadora de íons tem maior correlação com as quantidades de potássio absorvida pela planta de milho do que com o potássio extraído pela solução extratora de Mehlich-1. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, onde foram realizados dois cultivos consecutivos de milho em amostras de Neossolo Quartizarênico órtico. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados com duas fontes de K (KCl e coproduto), três doses de K2O (0, 200 e 400 kg ha-1) e quatro repetições, totalizando 24 unidades experimentais. Foram determinados os teores de potássio extraído da amostra de solo pela solução extratora de Mehlich-1 e resina trocadora de íons, a produção de matéria seca da parte aérea das plantas de milho, os teores e o acumulo de potássio nas plantas após o primeiro e o segundo cultivo. Em dois cultivos consecutivos das plantas de milho, a aplicação de 200 e 400 kg ha-1 de K2O na forma de KCl proporcionou o acumulo de potássio na parte aérea das plantas de 77 e 84% maior do que aplicação dessas mesmas doses de K2O na forma de coproduto, respectivamente. A aplicação de 200 e 400 kg ha-1 de K2O na forma de coproduto proporcionou aumentos no acumulo de potássio da parte aérea das plantas de milho de 66 e 75% em relação ao controle (sem K2O), respectivamente. A recuperação de potássio pelas plantas de milho tratadas com KCl foi de 92% e as plantas...

A crítica cultural do jovem Glauber Rocha no suplemento dominical do jornal do Brasil: impasses e estratégias adotados na chegada ao Rio de Janeiro

Glauber Rocha’s arrival at Rio de Janeiro can be considered a milestone for the Brazilian Cinema Novo movement in the early 1960s. In 1959, Glauber starts his collaborations in the Suplemento Dominical do Jornal do Brasil. This paper examines Rocha’s major contributions in this newspaper for the purpose of pointing out the strategies and formulations of the young intellectual from Bahia to promote a debate on the forms of modern Brazilian cinema and its relationship to other art forms in the 1960s.

A lógica matemática da arte ornamental: uma relação de equivalência a partir da estrutura atômica dos cristais

Based in aesthetic relationship between concepts of content and form intends to establish an relationship of analogy between ornaments and crystals. With the objective of building an theoretical investigation of relating the dynamics that happens in the crystals´ atoms to the symmetrical intervals of the ornamental patterns, it tries to draw a reasoning line that is going from the ‘Idea’ of Plato and ‘poiésis’ of Aristotle, until Hegel's philosophical enlargement, that admits the aesthetics as a science of the art integrated in a metaphysical process. Inherent to this question intends, in interrelation terms between aesthetics and metaphysics, content as being intelligent beginning, energy, and form as primitive element, matter, in order to evidence the possibility to calculate the same present symmetries in the ornamental arts like in the nature.

Glauber Rocha e a dimensão do confronto de ideias na cena midiática: estudo das estratégias do jovem crítico de cinema no Jornal da Bahia no final dos anos 1950

In late 1950, the young Glauber Rocha, still without having directed any of his films, becomes the main cultural critic of the Jornal da Bahia in Salvador, Bahia. His film critic activity falls within the symbolic local disputes and his texts published become an active voice in the cultural field of Bahia. With a considerable apparatus of the press in his favor, the performance of the young critic Glauber Rocha allows to discuss: the role of public intellectual and media production and dissemination of ideas by the newspapers at the turn of the 1950s to the 1960s, a time of intense political, social and cultural changes in Brazil.

Glauber Rocha e a crítica de cinema no Diário de Notícias: periferia e resistência

In the early 1960s, after his experience as a film critic in the Jornal da Bahia, the young Glauber Rocha began his collaboration in the Suplemento Artes e Letras of Diário de Notícias in Salvador. Inserting itself the symbolic disputes in defense of a film art of authentic Brazilian nuance, the activity of the critic Glauber Rocha represents a voice that demarcates the internal tensions of the field of cinema in Bahia and outlines, in the form of genesis, his most famous manifesto, “An esthetic of hunger” (1965). For this analysis were focused mainly two critics: “Experiência ‘Barravento’: confissão sem moldura”, published December 25-26, 1960, and “Luz Atlântica, 1962”, published in December 31, 1961.
