Influência da velocidade de deslocamento na semeadura do milho

Teve-se o objetivo de verificar a influência da velocidade de deslocamento na semeadura de milho, variando de 3,0 a 9,0 km h-1, em quatro condições. As variáveis analisadas foram: população de plantas emergidas, distribuição longitudinal, população com espigas e os componentes de rendimento. Concluiu-se que há aumento na percentagem de espaçamentos falhos e múltiplos e queda de espaçamentos aceitáveis ao se elevar a velocidade de semeadura. A produtividade só foi afetada quando a população de plantas com espigas foi reduzida pelo incremento de velocidade.

Synthesis Pengo System plates for the treatment of long-bone diaphyseal fractures in dogs

A Brazilian orthopaedic company designed a stainless steel plate called Synthesis Pengo System (S.P.S.), which has one fixed and one changeable extremity. According to the assembly of the changeable extremity, it is possible to obtain dynamization or neutralization of the fracture site. Since the S.P.S. plate was developed for use in human patients, the aim of this study was to evaluate this system in long-bone diaphyseal fractures in dogs. Eight dogs with closed diaphyseal fractures of the femur (n = 1), radius and ulna (n = 5), and tibia (n = 2) were used. Patients were aged seven months to three years and weighed 18 to 31.2 kg. The S.P.S. plate was assembled with one fixed extremity and one changeable extremity in dynamization mode. The trail bar was positioned for synthesis modules with holes for cortical screws. The modules were positioned close to one another in two fractures and for away from the fracture site in the others. The bone healing occurred by external callus. Since motion at the fracture site determines the amount of callus required, the secondary bone healing that was observed in all of the cases indicated less rigid fixation of this system. A potential benefit of this system was a lesser interface contact with the bone since it was only done by trail bar. The major disadvantage was the prominence of the implant. It was possible to conclude that the S.P.S. plate appears to be a suitable method for the treatment of diaphyseal fractures in dogs.

Sensibilidade de stenocarpella macrospora a fungicidas

The application of fungicides in the aerial organs is control strategy to macrospora spot caused by fungus Stenocarpella macrospora. The objective of this study was to determine the sensitivity of S. macrospora to fungicides by inhibition of mycelial growth (MG) and conidial germination (CG). It was eval uated 12 fungicides belonging to the chemical groups of the benzimidazoles, triazoles and strobilurins, six concentrations and two isolates of the fungus (SC and MT). The fungicides were diluted in sterile distilled water and added to the culture medium of potato dextrose agar (mycelium) and water-agar (spore) after sterilization. The percentage of inhibition of MC and CG was calculed in comparison with control, estimating of 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50). The fungicides tested were effective in inhibiting the MC. The IC50 was less than 1 ppm for all fungicides. There was no difference between isolates. The inhibition of CG had higher fungitoxicity strobilurins, and the IC50 was between 0.0035 and 0.03 ppm, and the isolated SC showed the higher sensitivity to the fungicides. The IC50 values obtained for fungicides and specific S. macrospora will be useful in monitoring the sensitivity of the fungus, especially in regions with intense demand for fungicides in corn.

Piaget e a questão ambiental: sujeito epistêmico, diagnóstico e considerações educacionais

Em uma época em que questões sobre clima e sustentabilidade adquirem evidência inédita, Piaget e a questão ambiental vem contribuir para a discussão sobre a consciência ecológica e a Educação Ambiental para estudantes do ensino fundamental. A obra desenvolve temas concernentes a aprendizagem, moral e relação do homem com a natureza, além de expor o resultado de investigação científica desenvolvida pela autora, a pedagoga Carla Luciane Blum Vestena. Por meio de uma ampla pesquisa psicogenética aplicada a 240 crianças e adolescentes de 8 a 14 anos, a autora buscou relacionar o conhecimento deles sobre o meio ambiente e o juízo moral ambiental. Também testou a influência que fatores como faixas etárias dos estudantes e propostas pedagógicas das escolas podem exercer sobre a formação da consciência dos alunos e suas ações em favor do meio ambiente. Uma das conclusões do estudo é que crianças e adolescentes obtêm juízo moral ambiental, desde que as escolas lhes forneçam um espaço propício a cooperação, autonomia, desenvolvimento da afetividade e conhecimentos das questões do meio ambiente. A obra é voltada principalmente para a ação docente e apresenta-se como referência a gestores, pesquisadores e pedagogos, além de interessados na área de Educação, principalmente a Ambiental.

Anemia and hemoglobinopathies in pregnant women attended in a public hospital

Objectives: to identify the demographic profile and frequency of anemia and hemoglobinopathies, as a basis for future implementation of actions aimed at pregnant women in the public health domain. Method: this is a cross-sectional study developed with pregnant women attended in a university hospital at Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Blood samples were collected for the erythrogram analysis for detection of anemia and selective and specific tests for abnormal hemoglobin. The patients regarded as indigenous and mentally ill, as well as inmates, were excluded from the research, as they represent a vulnerable population which needs a cohort different from that of the sample. For data collection, a particular questionnaire was used. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), under the Protocol 873/2006. Results: of the 215 pregnant women under study, 20% were adolescents; 36.3% had incomplete primary education; 53.0% were non-Caucasian; 43.3% were from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil; and 21.1% were of European descent. 17.7% had some type of anemia and, in the evaluation of hemoglobinopathies, 4.7% of patients were detected with some abnormal hemoglobin, with the following frequencies: 3.3% with HbAS; 0.9% with HbAC; and 0.5% with intermediate β-thalassemia. Conclusion: the frequencies of anemia and hemoglobinopathy found in these pregnant women showed the importance of early diagnosis, revealing indicators able to provide a basis for preventive and assistance actions for adequate clinical monitoring, reducing maternal and neonatal morbimortality in the public health services. Descriptors: pregnant women; anemia; hemoglobinopathies; public health; nursing.
