Com o objetivo de estudar o efeito de três espaçamentos entre fileiras (30, 40 e 50 cm) e três densidades de semeadura (100, 150 e 200 sementes viáveis/m²) sobre o desenvolvimento da planta, os componentes da produção e a produtividade do arroz irrigado por aspersão até a tensão de reposição de água de -0,070 MPa, foi instalado um experimento em condições de campo, em um Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro, epieutrófico, textura argilosa, em Selvíria, MS. A cultivar avaliada foi a IAC 201. Esta cultivar apresenta suscetibilidade ao acamamento, no sistema de irrigação por aspersão, até uma tensão de reposição de água, no solo, de -0,070 Mpa. O número de colmos e de panículas é incrementado com a redução do espaçamento. A densidade de 100 sementes/m² é a mais indicada para a cultivar IAC 201 irrigada por aspersão, por proporcionar menor gasto de sementes. O espaçamento de 30 cm entre fileiras de plantas proporciona maior produtividade de grãos da cultivar IAC 201 no sistema de irrigação por aspersão.

Contexte: Le traitement de l'angine de poitrine par angioplastie coronaire transluminale percutanée (PTCA) est efficace et peu invasif, mais son impact sur la qualité de vie des patients a été relativement peu étudié avec des questionnaires spécifiques. Méthode: Durant 6 mois, tous les patients souffrant d'une angine de poitrine pour qui une PTCA élective était envisagée, et qui étaient disponibles pour un suivi à 6 mois ont été inclus dans l'étude. Le questionnaire spécifique «Seattle Angina Questionnaire» (SAQ) a été utilisé le jour avant et 6 mois après la procédure. La décision d'implanter un stent était laissée au cardiologue au moment de la procédure. Résultats: 112 patients ont été initialement inclus. Trente-neuf d'entre eux ont été traités avec une PTCA, et 62 avec une PTCA et l'implantation de stent. Il n'y avait pas de différence de sexe, d.âge, de sévérité de l'angine de poitrine, et de type de lésion coronaire entre les deux groupes. Un suivi à 6 mois a été possible pour 101 patients (90% de la cohorte initiale). La qualité de vie a été améliorée de façon spectaculaire dans 4 des 5 dimensions du SAQ (limites physiques, stabilité de l'angor, fréquence de l'angor, perception de l'angor, p <0,001). Seule, la satisfaction avec le traitement était pire lors du suivi qu'avant l'intervention (p = 0,03), en particulier la satisfaction avec les explications reçues, la conviction que tous les moyens avaient été utilisés pour le traitement, et la satisfaction globale. L'implantation d'un stent n'a eu aucun impact sur ces résultats.

La imposición progresiva de los imperativos comerciales sobre los de servicio en la televisión de las últimas décadas ha comportado la modificación de las cualidades originales del género documental y ha supuesto la progresiva desaparición de la información en profundidad de las parrillas programáticas. Este trabajo analiza el estado actual de la cuestión, cuantificando y analizando los documentales aparecidos en el prime-time de las principales televisiones europeas en la temporada 2010-2011. Los resultados demuestran una presencia mínima del documental en los mercados televisivos más importantes de Europa, exceptuando el Reino Unido.

El tema de la autonomía en Bolivia tiene varias aristas, mientras para unos es la lucha por la autodeterminación de los pueblos originarios, para otros es la búsqueda de una mayor descentralización política y económica. Es un tema arraigado históricamente entre profundas negaciones y lucha por el poder. Los medios de comunicación son actores clave en éste proceso, los posicionamientos discursivos particularmente en las editoriales expresan de que lado están, por tanto, estudiar estas representaciones de la realidad, analizar las ideologías, subyacentes, abren el camino para de alguna manera conocer si el trabajo que realizan apoya o no a la democracia o más bien acentúa los conflictos sociales

BACKGROUND: Most patients with glioblastoma are older than 60 years, but treatment guidelines are based on trials in patients aged only up to 70 years. We did a randomised trial to assess the optimum palliative treatment in patients aged 60 years and older with glioblastoma. METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma were recruited from Austria, Denmark, France, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey. They were assigned by a computer-generated randomisation schedule, stratified by centre, to receive temozolomide (200 mg/m(2) on days 1-5 of every 28 days for up to six cycles), hypofractionated radiotherapy (34·0 Gy administered in 3·4 Gy fractions over 2 weeks), or standard radiotherapy (60·0 Gy administered in 2·0 Gy fractions over 6 weeks). Patients and study staff were aware of treatment assignment. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Analyses were done by intention to treat. This trial is registered, number ISRCTN81470623. FINDINGS: 342 patients were enrolled, of whom 291 were randomised across three treatment groups (temozolomide n=93, hypofractionated radiotherapy n=98, standard radiotherapy n=100) and 51 of whom were randomised across only two groups (temozolomide n=26, hypofractionated radiotherapy n=25). In the three-group randomisation, in comparison with standard radiotherapy, median overall survival was significantly longer with temozolomide (8·3 months [95% CI 7·1-9·5; n=93] vs 6·0 months [95% CI 5·1-6·8; n=100], hazard ratio [HR] 0·70; 95% CI 0·52-0·93, p=0·01), but not with hypofractionated radiotherapy (7·5 months [6·5-8·6; n=98], HR 0·85 [0·64-1·12], p=0·24). For all patients who received temozolomide or hypofractionated radiotherapy (n=242) overall survival was similar (8·4 months [7·3-9·4; n=119] vs 7·4 months [6·4-8·4; n=123]; HR 0·82, 95% CI 0·63-1·06; p=0·12). For age older than 70 years, survival was better with temozolomide and with hypofractionated radiotherapy than with standard radiotherapy (HR for temozolomide vs standard radiotherapy 0·35 [0·21-0·56], p<0·0001; HR for hypofractionated vs standard radiotherapy 0·59 [95% CI 0·37-0·93], p=0·02). Patients treated with temozolomide who had tumour MGMT promoter methylation had significantly longer survival than those without MGMT promoter methylation (9·7 months [95% CI 8·0-11·4] vs 6·8 months [5·9-7·7]; HR 0·56 [95% CI 0·34-0·93], p=0·02), but no difference was noted between those with methylated and unmethylated MGMT promoter treated with radiotherapy (HR 0·97 [95% CI 0·69-1·38]; p=0·81). As expected, the most common grade 3-4 adverse events in the temozolomide group were neutropenia (n=12) and thrombocytopenia (n=18). Grade 3-5 infections in all randomisation groups were reported in 18 patients. Two patients had fatal infections (one in the temozolomide group and one in the standard radiotherapy group) and one in the temozolomide group with grade 2 thrombocytopenia died from complications after surgery for a gastrointestinal bleed. INTERPRETATION: Standard radiotherapy was associated with poor outcomes, especially in patients older than 70 years. Both temozolomide and hypofractionated radiotherapy should be considered as standard treatment options in elderly patients with glioblastoma. MGMT promoter methylation status might be a useful predictive marker for benefit from temozolomide.

It is known that post-movement beta synchronization (PMBS) is involved both in active inhibition and in sensory reafferences processes. The aim of this study was examine the temporal and spatial dynamics of the PMBS involved during multi-limb coordination task. We investigated post-switching beta synchronization (assigned PMBS) using time-frequency and source estimations analyzes. Participants (n = 17) initiated an auditory-paced bimanual tapping. After a 1500 ms preparatory period, an imperative stimulus required to either selectively stop the left while maintaining the right unimanual tapping (Switch condition: SWIT) or to continue the bimanual tapping (Continue condition: CONT). PMBS significantly increased in SWIT compared to CONT with maximal difference within right central region in broad-band 14âeuro"30 Hz and within left central region in restricted-band 22âeuro"26 Hz. Source estimations localized these effects within right pre-frontal cortex and left parietal cortex, respectively. A negative correlation showed that participants with a low percentage of errors in SWIT had a large PMBS amplitude within right parietal and frontal cortices. This study shows for the first time simultaneous PMBS with distinct functions in different brain regions and frequency ranges. The left parietal PMBS restricted to 22âeuro"26 Hz could reflect the sensory reafferences of the right hand tapping disrupted by the switching. In contrast, the right pre-frontal PMBS in a broad-band 14âeuro"30 Hz is likely reflecting the active inhibition of the left hand stopped. Finally, correlations between behavioral performance and the magnitude of the PMBS suggest that beta oscillations can be viewed as a marker of successful active inhibition.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de dietas, com diferentes teores de fósforo, no perfil eletrolítico sanguíneo e no ganho de peso corporal em suínos. Foram utilizados 60 suínos híbridos comerciais, machos castrados, com peso corporal médio inicial de 61,07±0,86 kg, com aproximadamente 110 dias de idade. Os animais foram distribuídos em blocos ao acaso, com 5 tratamentos e 12 repetições cada um. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de dietas com 0,135, 0,200, 0,265, 0,330 e 0,395% de fósforo disponível. No início e no final do período experimental, foi determinado o peso corporal e foram coletadas amostras de sangue, sem jejum dos animais, para a mensuração de sódio, potássio, cloreto, magnésio total, fósforo e cálcio ionizado. Observou-se resposta quadrática do peso corporal, de acordo com os tratamentos, e das concentrações séricas de fósforo, magnésio total e cálcio iônico em decorrência dos tratamentos. O ganho de peso corporal foi maior nos animais alimentados com suplementação de fósforo em teores acima de 0,135%. O melhor resultado foi obtido com a dieta de 0,330% de fósforo, porém, o aumento a partir de 0,200% na dieta ocasionou elevação na concentração sérica de fósforo.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar o óleo-resina da copaíba (Copaifera reticulata) e estimar, por meio de marcadores microssatélites, a variabilidade genética da espécie na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, PA. A amostragem foi realizada em duas áreas, distanciadas de 5 km, em 136 árvores. A diversidade genética foi avaliada com seis marcadores microssatélites derivados de C. langsdorffii, e o óleo obtido de 30 árvores (15 de cada área) foi caracterizado em termos físicos e químicos. O óleo C. reticulata apresenta aspecto líquido, fino, odor fraco e de coloração amarelo-dourada (73,3% das plantas), com viscosidade muito variável (18 a 187 Pa-s) e densidade média de 0,975±0,049 g cm-3. O índice de acidez variou de 9,62 a 10,17 mg g-1 de KOH e o de saponificação de 100,63 a 109,84 mg g-1. A análise molecular identificou 78 alelos, com média de 13 por loco. A heterozigosidade esperada variou 0,59 a 0,85 (média de 0,75), com nível de endogamia de 0,375 a 0,419. Houve pouca diferenciação genética entre as populações das diferentes áreas de coleta (F ST = 0,030), mas a variabilidade foi maior entre os grupos genéticos detectados pelo programa Structure (F ST = 0,070). Essa maior variabilidade indica que não há ameaças à conservação genética da copaíba, em médio prazo.

The association of increased PA-inhibitor (PAI) activity and of PAI-1 and PAI-2 antigen levels with different pathological conditions was studied in a collective of over 300 patients. PAI-1 and PAI-2 levels were measured by specific radioimmunoassays. A good correlation was observed of PAI activity with PAI-1 antigen (r = 0.718; p less than 0.0001) but not with PAI-2 (r = 0.070; n.s.). Both in the controls and in the patients, PAI activity and PAI-1 antigen showed an extremely large range of values. PAI activity ranged from 0.5 to 68 U/ml and PAI-1 antigen from 6 to 600 ng/ml. Increased PAI activity and PAI-1 antigen was observed in patients with malignant tumors, cardiovascular or thromboembolic disease, in the postoperative phase, with hepatic insufficiency, after trauma and after extracorporeal circulation. The large spectrum of disease states with increased PAI activity and PAI-1 antigen reinforces previous suggestions that PAI-1 is an acute phase reactant. After extracorporeal circulation, PAI activity and PAI-1 concentrations strongly increased within one hour, remained elevated for at least one week and returned to preoperation values within 7 days. PAI-2 values ranged from below detection limit (15 ng/ml), observed in half of the plasmas, to 485 ng/ml in a pregnant woman. High values of PAI-2 were only observed in pregnancy.

O centro de origem do mamoeiro é, muito provavelmente, o Noroeste da América do Sul - vertente oriental dos Andes, mais precisamente a Bacia Amazônica Superior - onde a diversidade genética é máxima, o que o caracteriza como uma planta tipicamente tropical. Embora o Brasil seja o maior produtor mundial, toda a área de produção comercial é implantada quase que exclusivamente com dois grupos de cultivares, Havaí e Formosa, evidenciando uma base genética muito estreita. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar linhagens e híbridos adaptados às condições edafoclimáticas das principais regiões produtoras, com ênfase para resistência a doenças, procedendo avaliação agronômica dos principais genótipos promissores de mamão, a fim de identificar aqueles mais adaptados a diferentes agroecossistemas do País. Os acessos do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma de Mamão apresentaram grande variabilidade genética para os caracteres peso, comprimento e diâmetro de frutos, passível de ser explorada em programas de melhoramento genético. A análise de planta híbrida em relação aos parentais indica a possibilidade de modificações genéticas de caracteres comercialmente importantes, a exemplo de altura de inserção da primeira flor funcional, altura da planta, ocorrência de carpeloidia e peso de frutos. Em adição, a partir de avaliações compreendendo 125 acessos do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma de Mamão (BAG-Mamão) da Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura, observou-se que, em relação à Phytophthora spp. os acessos CMF 001, CMF 053, CMF 062, CMF 081, e CMF 089 são moderadamente tolerantes, e os acessos CMF 002, CMF 007, CMF 033, CMF 060, CMF 065, CMF 070, CMF 071, CMF 083 e CMF 101 apresentam nível maior de tolerância. Estes acessos estão sendo utilizados em trabalhos de melhoramento genético, visando à obtenção de linhagens resistentes e/ou tolerantes ao fungo.

The diffusion of mobile telephony began in 1971 in Finland, when the first car phones, called ARP1 were taken to use. Technologies changed from ARP to NMT and later to GSM. The main application of the technology, however, was voice transfer. The birth of the Internet created an open public data network and easy access to other types of computer-based services over networks. Telephones had been used as modems, but the development of the cellular technologies enabled automatic access from mobile phones to Internet. Also other wireless technologies, for instance Wireless LANs, were also introduced. Telephony had developed from analog to digital in fixed networks and allowed easy integration of fixed and mobile networks. This development opened a completely new functionality to computers and mobile phones. It also initiated the merger of the information technology (IT) and telecommunication (TC) industries. Despite the arising opportunity for firms' new competition the applications based on the new functionality were rare. Furthermore, technology development combined with innovation can be disruptive to industries. This research focuses on the new technology's impact on competition in the ICT industry through understanding the strategic needs and alternative futures of the industry's customers. The change speed inthe ICT industry is high and therefore it was valuable to integrate the DynamicCapability view of the firm in this research. Dynamic capabilities are an application of the Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm. As is stated in the literature, strategic positioning complements RBV. This theoretical framework leads theresearch to focus on three areas: customer strategic innovation and business model development, external future analysis, and process development combining these two. The theoretical contribution of the research is in the development of methodology integrating theories of the RBV, dynamic capabilities and strategic positioning. The research approach has been constructive due to the actual managerial problems initiating the study. The requirement for iterative and innovative progress in the research supported the chosen research approach. The study applies known methods in product development, for instance, innovation process in theGroup Decision Support Systems (GDSS) laboratory and Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and combines them with known strategy analysis tools like industry analysis and scenario method. As the main result, the thesis presents the strategic innovation process, where new business concepts are used to describe the alternative resource configurations and scenarios as alternative competitive environments, which can be a new way for firms to achieve competitive advantage in high-velocity markets. In addition to the strategic innovation process as a result, thestudy has also resulted in approximately 250 new innovations for the participating firms, reduced technology uncertainty and helped strategic infrastructural decisions in the firms, and produced a knowledge-bank including data from 43 ICT and 19 paper industry firms between the years 1999 - 2004. The methods presentedin this research are also applicable to other industries.
