Dynamics of QoI sensitivity in Mycosphaerella fijiensis in Costa Rica during 2000 to 2003

From 1997 onward, the strobilurin fungicide azoxystrobin was widely used in the main banana-production zone in Costa Rica against Mycosphaerella fijiensis var. difformis causing black Sigatoka of banana. By 2000, isolates of M. fijiensis with resistance to the quinolene oxidase inhibitor fungicides were common on some farms in the area. The cause was a single point mutation from glycine to alanine in the fungal target protein, cytochrome b gene. An amplification refractory mutation system Scorpion quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was developed and used to determine the frequency of G 143A allele in samples of M. fijiensis. Two hierarchical surveys of spatial variability, in 2001 and 2002,found no significant variation in frequency on spatial scales <10 in. This allowed the frequency of G143A alleles on a farm to be estimated efficiently by averaging single samples taken at two fixed locations. The frequency of G 143A allele in bulk samples from I I farms throughout Costa Rica was determined at 2-month intervals. There was no direct relationship between the number of spray applications and the frequency of G143A on individual farms. Instead, the frequency converged toward regional averages, presumably due to the large-scale mixing of ascospores dispersed by wind. Using trap plants in an area remote from the main producing area, immigration of resistant ascospores was detected as far as 6 km away both with and against the prevailing wind.

O pré-escolar no município de Cuiabá: subsídios para um diagnóstico

No presente trabalho procede-se a uma análise da educação pré-escolar brasileira segundo as propostas oficiais e seus resultados até 1981, definindo-se como foco de interesse o Estado de Mato Grosso e, principalmente, o município de Cuiabá. Examina-se a legislação e planos do governo que definem, normatizam ou orientam a pré-escola, a nível nacional, bem como as avaliações, no mesmo nível, constantes em alguns estudos já realizados. Faz-se apreciações sobre a situação do pré-escolar no âmbito do Estado de Mato Grosso e do município de Cuiabá, com base em documentação pertinente a essa modalidade de ensino. Apresenta-se uma descrição e análise dos resultados obtidos numa pesquisa efetuada em Cuiabá, em estabelecimentos de ensino da rede estadual, para obtenção, junto a diretores, professores e pré-escolares, de informações relativas ao funcionamento da pré-escola nesse município. O estudo vem mostrar que a proposta oficial da pré-escola é contraditória, a partir mesmo de seus pressupostos teóricos, e que os resultados de sua implantação correspondem, não a uma garantia de bom desempenho escolar mas a uma antecipação do processo discriminatório da escola. Vem mostrar, ainda, que os resultados da implantação da proposta em Mato Grosso nao são nada animadores, podendo-se considerar a pré-escola cuiabana como um elucidativo exemplo: identifica-se uma quase absoluta deficiência dessas escolas em termos materiais, administrativos, técnicos e principalmente pedagógicos para atendimento à proposta de "educação compensatória". Vem mostrar, por fim, este estudo, que um contato com 447 crianças, ditas "carentes" ou "marginalizadas", po de apontar a distância havida entre sua "cultura", de bases concretas e a cultura escolar que a pré-escola pretende, antecipadamente, lhes impor.

É possível a participação de capital estrangeiro em operadoras de planos privados de assistência à saúde com rede própria?

Este estudo objetiva averiguar a possibilidade de participação direta ou indireta de capital estrangeiro em operadoras de planos privados de assistência à saúde, no Brasil, que possuem rede própria. Utilizando técnicas interpretativas da hermenêutica jurídica, como o método histórico evolutivo, sistemático e teleológico, busca-se entender a inteligência exegética do artigo 199, §3o, da Constituição Federal. Considerando-se que este dispositivo constitucional vedou a participação direta ou indireta de capital estrangeiro na assistência à saúde, salvo nos casos previstos em lei, o estudo revela em que hipóteses a vedação foi excepcionada e se a exceção infraconstitucional abrange as operadoras de plano de saúde que possuem rede própria. Ademais, o estudo analisa o posicionamento da Agência Nacional de Saúde (ANS), na aquisição da Amil Participações S.A, pela operadora norte-americana United Health Group Incorporated. A análise desta operação se torna de muita relevância ao estudo, pois envolve a maior operadora de planos de saúde com rede própria do país, além de ter a presença da maior importância de capitais estrangeiros na assistência à saúde na história do Brasil.

Molecular method for the characterization of Coxiella burnetii from clinical and environmental samples: variability of genotypes in Spain

[EN] Background. Coxiella burnetii is a highly clonal microorganism which is difficult to culture, requiring BSL3 conditions for its propagation. This leads to a scarce availability of isolates worldwide. On the other hand, published methods of characterization have delineated up to 8 different genomic groups and 36 genotypes. However, all these methodologies, with the exception of one that exhibited limited discriminatory power (3 genotypes), rely on performing between 10 and 20 PCR amplifications or sequencing long fragments of DNA, which make their direct application to clinical samples impracticable and leads to a scarce accessibility of data on the circulation of C. burnetii genotypes. Results: To assess the variability of this organism in Spain, we have developed a novel method that consists of a multiplex (8 targets) PCR and hybridization with specific probes that reproduce the previous classification of this organism into 8 genomic groups, and up to 16 genotypes. It allows for a direct characterization from clinical and environmental samples in a single run, which will help in the study of the different genotypes circulating in wild and domestic cycles as well as from sporadic human cases and outbreaks. The method has been validated with reference isolates. A high variability of C. burnetii has been found in Spain among 90 samples tested, detecting 10 different genotypes, being those adaA negative associated with acute Q fever cases presenting as fever of intermediate duration with liver involvement and with chronic cases. Genotypes infecting humans are also found in sheep, goats, rats, wild boar and ticks, and the only genotype found in cattle has never been found among our clinical samples. Conclusions: This newly developed methodology has permitted to demonstrate that C. burnetii is highly variable in Spain. With the data presented here, cattle seem not to participate in the transmission of C. burnetii to humans in the samples studied, while sheep, goats, wild boar, rats and ticks share genotypes with the human population.

Influencia de la longitud de onda de la luz incidente en el nivel de actividad de Carabus sp.

[ES] Los cárabos se caracterizan por tener sus mayores niveles de actividad durante la noche. Al ser sometidos a distintas longitudes de onda de luz, estos muestran un fototropismo negativo al ser expuestos bajo luces de color índigo, azul y naranja, y muy negativo bajo a la luz verde. Bajo luz roja su actividad es alta.

Repression, Anpassung, Neuorientierung: Islamische Bildung im sowjetischen und post- sowjetischen Raum

How did Islam survive in the Soviet Union, and how did it develop since 1991? In four case studies and four longitudinal surveys, senior specialists from the area and two German junior scholars discuss the transformations of Islam in Tatarstan, Azerbaijan, Daghestan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Several chapters analyze the Bolsheviks’ attack on Islam since the 1920s. Altay Göyüşov and Il’nur Minnullin demonstrate how the Soviets first attempted to draw some groups of Muslim scholars and intellectuals to their side, in Azerbaijan and Tatarstan, respectively. In the early 1930s collectivization and outright state terror made a complete end to the Islamic infrastructure, including mosques and pious foundations, Muslim village courts (as shown by Vladimir Bobrovnikov for Dagestan), Islamic educational institutions (as documented by Aširbek Muminov for Uzbekistan), as well as the Muslim press (analyzed by Dilyara Usmanova for Tatarstan); also Sufi brotherhoods became a main target of violent repression (Šamil‘ Šixaliev, for Dagestan). Repression was followed by the establishment of a modus vivendi between state and religion in the post-war period (Muminov, Bobrovnikov, Šixaliev), and by the instrumentalization of religion for patriotic purposes in the post-Soviet Caucasus and Central Asia (Christine Hunner-Kreisel, Manja Stephan, both based on fieldwork). By the early 2000s Islam was almost everywhere back under full state control; the leading role of the state for defining „good“ and „bad“ Islam is largely taken for granted. While similar forms of state pressure in all regions thus allow us to draw an overall picture of how Islamic traditions were repressed and reanimated, the „archival revolution“ of the early 1990s provides fascinating insights into the specific developments in the individual regions, and into the adaptation strategies of the Muslim scholars and intellectuals on the spot. Still, the Soviet heritage is still very palpable; also the attempts to leapfrog the Soviet period and to link up again with the individual local Islamic traditions from before 1917, and even the negation of the Soviet experience in the form of embracing Islamic trends from abroad, are often still couched in largely Soviet mental frameworks.

Questioning the merits and demerits of electronic communication in Social Work

This paper examines the social dynamics of electronic exchanges in the human services, particularly in social work. It focuses on the observable effects that email and texting have on the linguistic, relational and clinical rather than managerial aspects of the profession. It highlights how electronic communication is affecting professionals in their practice and learners as they become acculturated to social work. What are the gains and losses of the broad use of electronic devices in daily lay and professional, verbal and non-verbal communication? Will our current situation be seriously detrimental to the demeanor of future practitioners, their use of language, and their ability to establish close personal relationships? The paper analyzes social work linguistic and behavioral changes in light of the growth of electronic communication and offers a summary of merits and demerits viewed through a prism emerging from Baron’s (2000) analysis of human communication.
