Tem sido observada, em milho, a redução da absorção de nitrogênio (N), por causa da deficiência de fósforo (P), mas o efeito dessa combinação na seleção de genitores ainda precisa de estudos. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar os efeitos das inter-relações de P e N na capacidade de combinação e seleção de genitores de milho. As 28 combinações híbridas (CH), obtidas de um dialelo completo entre oito genótipos de milho e três testemunhas, foram avaliadas em quatro ambientes, obtidos pelas combinações de alta e baixa disponibilidade de P e N. Avaliaram-se o rendimento de grãos (RG) e as características secundárias: altura de plantas (AP) e espigas (AE), índice de colheita (IC), peso volumétrico (PV), prolificidade (PRL) e massa seca da parte aérea (MSPA). O efeito do estresse de N no RG foi similar em baixo e alto P. O genótipo P3041 apresentou alto RG em todos os ambientes. As correlações genéticas das características secundárias com o RG foram afetadas pelos ambientes. Em alto P, a capacidade geral de combinação (CGC) foi significativa para RG apenas em alto N. Em baixo P, a CGC apresentou significância em ambos os níveis de N. Os genótipos AG1051 e P3041 tiveram estimativas positivas de CGC em todos os ambientes. Conclui-se que, para o rendimento de grãos, a CGC somente não é importante em alto P e baixo N e a CEC não é importante em estresse de P ou N.

A cultura da cana-de-açúcar desempenha, sobretudo no aspecto relacionado às fontes energéticas alternativas, importantíssimo papel. No ano de 2009, no município de Suzanápolis (SP), cujas coordenadas são 20º 28' 10'' S e 50º 49' 20'' W, no cerrado brasileiro foi analisada a produtividade da cana soca (2º ciclo) em razão da resistência à penetração, umidade gravimétrica e matéria orgânica de um Argissolo Vermelho eutrófico. O objetivo foi selecionar, entre os atributos pesquisados, aquele com a melhor correlação, a linear e a espacial, para explicar a variabilidade da produtividade da cana-de-açúcar. Foi instalada a malha geoestatística para a coleta de dados do solo e da planta, com 120 pontos amostrais, numa área de 14,53 ha. A matéria orgânica correlaciona-se linear e negativamente com a resistência à penetração, indicando que manejos do solo que visem seu aumento no perfil melhoram suas condições físicas e, por conseguinte, o desenvolvimento e a produtividade da cana-de-açúcar. A umidade gravimétrica (UG) e o teor de matéria orgânica do solo (MO) correlacionam-se direta, linear (UG2 e MO1) e espacialmente (UG1 e MO1) com a produtividade da cana-de-açúcar, demonstrando serem os melhores atributos, dentre os pesquisados, para estimar e aumentar a produtividade agrícola da cana-de-açúcar.

Many studies have been conducted in corporate finance regarding long-term investment and financing decisions. However, short-term asset investments play a significant role in the balance sheet of companies. Moreover, financial managers dedicate significant amounts of time and effort to the subject of working capital management, balancing current assets and liabilities. This paper provides insights regarding the key factors of working capital management by exploring the internal variables of a number of companies. This study used data from 2,976 Brazilian public companies from 2001 to 2008, and found that debt level, size and growth rate can affect the working capital management of companies.

The participation of citizens in public policies is an opportunity not only to educate them, but also to increase their empowerment. However, the best way for deploying participatory policies, defining their scope and approach, still remains an open and continuous debate. Using as a case study the Brazilian National Agency of Electric Energy (Aneel), with its public hearings about tariff review, this paper aims at analyzing the democratic aspects of these hearings and challenges the hypothesis of many scholars about the social participation bias in this kind of procedure. This study points out a majority participation of experts, contrasting with the political content of discussions. And, this way, it contributes to a critical analysis of the public hearings as a participatory tool, indicating their strengths and their aspects which deserve a special attention.

Foram estudados os registros civis desde as suas origens, salientando aspectos legislativos do Brasil, chamando a atenção para algumas implicações que a legislação a eles referente trazem às estatísticas vitais e suas repercussões em planejamento de saúde e epidemiologia. Relativamente ao nascimento foram abordados alguns tópicos, com ênfase no problema do registro por local de ocorrência, fato que influe enormemente em programações de saúde materno-infantil. Foram salientados também alguns aspectos do sub-registro de nascimento, citando dados para São Paulo. Quanto aos óbitos foram analisados o registro por local de ocorrência, o prazo para registro, o problema das causas de morte e o relativo ao sub-registro. Com referência aos nascidos mortos, foi apresentada a conceituação de nascido vivo e nascido morto da Organização Mundial da Saúde e indicado o fato de sua não aplicação prática repercutir nos campos do Direito e da Estatística Vital. Foram feitas algumas recomendações no sentido de um maior entrosamento entre os vários profissionais - legisladores, médicos, oficiais de cartório, estaticistas de saúde - que, de uma maneira ou de outra, têm relação com os eventos vitais.

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether any impairments in health and social lives can be found under different kinds of flexible working hours, and whether such effects are related to specific characteristics of these working hours. METHODS: Two studies - a company based survey (N=660) and an internet survey (N=528) - have been conducted. The first one was a questionnaire study (paper and pencil) on employees working under some 'typical' kinds of different flexible working time arrangements in different companies and different occupational fields (health care, manufacturing, retail, administration, call centres). The second study was an internet-based survey, using an adaptation of the questionnaire from the first study. RESULTS: The results of both studies consistently show that high variability of working hours is associated with increased impairments in health and well-being and this is especially true if this variability is company controlled. These effects are less pronounced if variability is self-controlled; however, autonomy does not compensate the effects of variability. CONCLUSIONS: Recommendations for an appropriate design of flexible working hours should be developed in order to minimize any impairing effects on health and psychosocial well-being; these recommendations should include - besides allowing for discretion in controlling one's (flexible) working hours - that variability in flexible working hours should be kept low (or at least moderate), even if this variability is self-controlled.

OBJECTIVE: The expansion of precarious employment in OECD countries has been widely associated with negative health and safety effects. Although many shiftworkers are precariously employed, shiftwork research has concentrated on full-time workers in continuing employment. This paper examines the impact of precarious employment on working hours, work-life conflict and health by comparing casual employees to full-time, "permanent" employees working in the same occupations and workplaces. METHODS: Thirty-nine convergent interviews were conducted in two five-star hotels. The participants included 26 full-time and 13 casual (temporary) employees. They ranged in age from 19 to 61 years and included 17 females and 22 males. Working hours ranged from zero to 73 hours per week. RESULTS: Marked differences emerged between the reports of casual and full-time employees about working hours, work-life conflict and health. Casuals were more likely to work highly irregular hours over which they had little control. Their daily and weekly working hours ranged from very long to very short according to organisational requirements. Long working hours, combined with low predictability and control, produced greater disruption to family and social lives and poorer work-life balance for casuals. Uncoordinated hours across multiple jobs exacerbated these problems in some cases. Health-related issues reported to arise from work-life conflict included sleep disturbance, fatigue and disrupted exercise and dietary regimes. CONCLUSIONS:This study identified significant disadvantages of casual employment. In the same hotels, and doing largely the same jobs, casual employees had less desirable and predictable work schedules, greater work-life conflict and more associated health complaints than "permanent" workers.

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether parents' engagement in shift work affects the sleep habits of their adolescent children who attend school in two shifts. METHODS: The data were drawn from an extensive survey of sleep and daytime functioning of adolescents attending school one week in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The participants were 1,386 elementary and high school students (11-18 years old) whose parents were both employed. The data were analyzed using MANOVA, with parents' work schedule, adolescents' gender and type of school as between-subject factors. RESULTS: Parents' working schedule significantly affected the sleep patterns of high school adolescents. When attending school in the morning, adolescents whose parents were both day workers woke up somewhat later than adolescents with one shiftworking parent. In addition, they slept longer than adolescents whose parents were both shift workers. On weekends, adolescents whose parents both worked during the day went to bed earlier than adolescents whose parents were both shiftworkers. They also had smaller bedtime delay on weekends with respect to both morning and afternoon shifts than adolescents for whom one or both parents worked shifts. A significant interaction between parents' working schedule, adolescents' gender and type of school was found for sleep extension on weekends after afternoon shift school. CONCLUSIONS: Parental involvement in shift work has negative effects on the sleep of high school adolescents. It contributes to earlier wake-up time and shorter sleep in a week when adolescents attend school in the morning, as well as to greater bedtime irregularity.
