Tendo em conta a importância do ambiente qualificado como um elemento crítico no desenvolvimento em Cabo Verde, o pais vem implementando esforços no sentido da definição e implementação de uma política de ambiente compreensiva. Encontra-se na fase de finalização do Plano de Acção Nacional para o Ambiente 2004 – 2014 (PANA II). O PANA II caracteriza-se pela elaboração participativa de planos de acção municipais e intersectoriais numa perspectiva integrada. Trata-se pois de uma acção que deve dar um impulso novo ao sector do ambiente por introduzir uma abordagem inter-sectorial e descentralizada ao nível dos municípios. O PANA II, na sua totalidade, será um documento orientador de um processo contínuo caracterizado por uma dinâmica própria. Será o instrumento que, nos próximos 10 anos, servirá de base de trabalho permitindo que os diversos sectores directa ou indirectamente relacionados com as questões ambientais se desenvolvam de forma harmoniosa, garantindo um ambiente sadio. Nesta âmbito é necessário analisar os requisitos institucionais para uma implementação sucedida da estratégia e das políticas ambientais no contexto de Cabo Verde. Em conformidade com os métodos aplicados para a elaboração do PANA II, procurou-se a participação dos vários parceiros visando assegurar o envolvimento deles no processo de realização de um diagnóstico qualitativo do sector do ambiente e a compreensão e a apropriação das propostas. O presente estudo sobre a análise e o desenvolvimento institucional do sector do ambiente foi elaborado no período de 28 de julho a 22 de Setembro pelo consultor internacional Ben van Baren e o consultor nacional Edgard Pinto. Os Termos de Referência indicam como elementos que devem ser identificados e analisados no âmbito da consultoria: A clarificação do quadro institucional necessário e desejável para o processo de implementação do PANA II; A definição clara e sistematizada das funções, regras de procedimento e responsabilidades de cada estrutura orgânica envolvida na implementação do PANA II; A capacidade - em termos dos meios humanos, técnicos e logísticos - das estruturas orgânicas existentes (p.e. da Direcção Geral do Ambiente) para assumir essas responsabilidades; A afectação adequada dos meios financeiros, técnicos e humanos nas várias estruturas. A abordagem utilizada foi então a análise de documentos, a realização de entrevistas e a colheita de informações através da realização de um inquérito. Os consultores animaram três sessões de trabalho e um atelier para aprofundar o entendimento das questões e a avaliação das alternativas para o enquadramento institucional do sector do ambiente. As sessões de trabalho foram realizadas com a equipa de Coordenação de PANA II, o Núcleo Municipal, criado no quadro da elaboração dos Planos Ambientais Municipais pela Associação Nacional dos Municípios de Cabo Verde, e com o Comité de Pilotagem, composto por os directores de estruturas directamente envolvidas nas questões de ambiente. O atelier com um grupo alargado, incluindo os parceiros como representantes da administração central, do poder local, do sector privado e da sociedade civil. O modelo do inquérito realizado, a lista dos encontros e entrevistas efectuados, os termos de referência bem como a lista dos documentos consultados encontram-se nos Anexos 1, 2, 3 e 4.

O sistema de semeadura direta, associado à utilização de plantas de cobertura, pode manter a qualidade do solo, melhorando e, ou, preservando seus atributos físicos em condições favoráveis ao desenvolvimento vegetal. O presente trabalho avaliou a densidade, porosidade, resistência à penetração e taxa de infiltração de água em um Argissolo Vermelho distrófico arênico, na área experimental do Departamento de Solos da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, em Santa Maria, RS, após 16 anos de aplicação de sete sistemas de culturas: (1) milho (Zea mays L.) + feijão-de-porco (Canavalia ensiformis DC)/soja (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)- MFP; (2) solo descoberto - SDES; (3) milho/pousio/soja - POU; (4) milho/azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) + ervilhaca-comum (Vicia sativa)/soja - AZEV; (5) milho + mucuna-cinza (Stizolobium cinereum)/soja - MUC; (6) milho/nabo forrageiro (Raphanus sativus L. var. oleiferus Metzg.)/soja - NFO; e (7) campo nativo - CNA. A densidade do solo apresentou diferenças entre os tratamentos até a profundidade de 0,10 m, com o SDES evidenciando maiores valores. A porosidade total e a macroporosidade do solo apresentaram estreita relação entre si até 0,10 m de profundidade. O tratamento SDES apresentou maior resistência à penetração na camada superficial (até 0,03 m), e o NFO, nas profundidades de 0,16 e 0,18 m. Menores taxas de infiltração de água no solo foram verificadas nos tratamentos SDES e CNA, enquanto os demais se mantiveram constantemente acima destes e semelhantes entre si. O sistema de semeadura direta com uso de plantas de cobertura do solo mostrou-se eficiente em manter atributos físicos em condições favoráveis ao desenvolvimento vegetal, após longo período de utilização, ao mesmo tempo em que melhorou atributos como a taxa de infiltração de água.

Pig slurry (PS) represents an important nutrient source for plants and using it as fertilizer makes greater nutrient cycling in the environment possible. The aim of this study was to assess how PS application over a period of years can affect grain yield, dry matter production and nutrient accumulation in commercial grain and cover crops. The experiment was carried out in an experimental area of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil, from May 2000 to January 2008. In this period, 19 grain and cover crops were grown with PS application before sowing, at rates of 0, 20, 40 and 80 m³ ha-1. The highest PS rate led to an increase in nutrient availability over the years, notably of P, but also of nutrients that are potentially toxic to plants, especially Cu and Zn. The apparent recovery of nutrients by commercial grain and cover crops decreased with the increasing number of PS applications to the soil. Accumulated dry matter production of the crops and maize grain yield were highest at an annual application rate of 80 m³ ha-1 PS. However, common bean yield increased up to 20 m³ ha-1 PS, showing that the crop to be grown should be considered to define the application rate.

The application of pig slurry rates and plant cultivation can modify the soil phosphorus (P) content and distribution of chemical species in solution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the total P, available P and P in solution, and the distribution of chemical P species in solution, in a soil under longstanding pig slurry applications and crop cultivation. The study was carried out in soil columns with undisturbed structure, collected in an experiment conducted for eight years in the experimental unit of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria (RS). The soil was an Argissolo Vermelho distrófico arênico (Typic Hapludalf), subjected to applications of 0, 20, 40, and 80 m3 ha-1 pig slurry. Soil samples were collected from the layers 0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, and 40-60 cm, before and after black oat and maize grown in a greenhouse, for the determination of available P, total P and P in the soil solution. In the solution, the concentration of the major cations, anions, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and pH were determined. The distribution of chemical P species was determined by software Visual Minteq. The 21 pig slurry applications increased the total P content in the soil to a depth of 40 cm, and the P extracted by Mehlich-1 and from the solution to a depth of 30 cm. Successive applications of pig slurry changed the balance between the solid and liquid phases in the surface soil layers, increasing the proportion of the total amount of P present in the soil solution, aside from changing the chemical species in the solution, reducing the percentage complexed with Al and increasing the one complexed with Ca and Mg in the layers 0-5 and 5-10 cm. Black oat and maize cultivation increased pH in the solution, thereby increasing the proportion of HPO42- and reducing H2PO4- species.

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is one of the lipid peroxidation products widely used as indicator of cellular injury. However, the short-term and the long-term stability of this biomarker remain unclear. The objective of this work was to evaluate the stability of plasmatic MDA at -20 ºC, utilizing thiobarbituric acid (TBA) as derivative in spectrophotometric and chromatographic analysis. The results showed that MDA was stable for 24 h after blood collection, was not stable when stored after alkaline hydrolysis, remained stable for 30 days after TBA derivatization and was stable for 3 days when stored after n-butanol extraction, all at -20 ºC.

The castor bean cake is rich in starch (48 ± 0.53%) and bears a problem linked to the occurrence of a toxic protein (ricin). The chemical hydrolysis (ratio solid:liquid = 1:6; H2SO4= 0.1 mol L-1; 120 °C; 40 min) generated a medium with 27 g L-1 of reducing sugars (hydrolysis efficiency= 32%). The hydrolyzed product was fermented and produced 11 g L-1 of ethanol (volumetric productivity=1.38 g L-1 h-1 and ethanol yield on substrate consumed=0.45 g g-1). In vivo experiments (DL50) revealed a reduction of roughly 240 times in the CBC toxicity (2.11 µg g-1).

Biological monitoring is very important to guarantee health to workers. This method was developed for simultaneous determination of xylene, toluene, styrene and ethylbenzene metabolites. It involves only dilution and centrifugation of urine samples and improved chromatographic conditions. Analyses show recovery > 95%; r² > 0.99; intermediate precision CV% < 6% and % bias < ±10. Exposed subjects presented at least three metabolites in urine. The method proved to be feasible, reliable and important in biological monitoring, especially in exposure to organic solvent mixtures.

Free radicals induce lipid peroxidation, playing an important role in pathological processes. The injury mediated by free radicals can be measured by conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, and others. However, malondialdehyde has been pointed out as the main product to evaluate lipid peroxidation. Most assays determine malondialdehyde by its reaction with thiobarbituric acid, which can be measured by indirect (spectrometry) and direct methodologies (chromatography). Though there is some controversy among the methodologies, the selective HPLC-based assays provide a more reliable lipid peroxidation measure. This review describes significant aspects about MDA determination, its importance in pathologies and biological samples treatment.

In this study, we investigated the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated sugarcane bagasse using eight different enzymatic blends obtained from concentrated crude enzyme extracts produced by Penicillium funiculosum and Trichoderma harzianum as well as from the extracts in combination with a commercial enzymatic cocktail. The influence of different levels of biomass delignification, degree of crystallinity of lignicellulose, composition of enzymatic activities and BSA on enzymatic hydrolysis yields (HYs) was evaluated. Our X-ray diffraction studies showed that crystallinity of lignocellulose is not a key determinant of its recalcitrance toward enzymatic hydrolysis. In fact, under the experimental conditions of our study, an increase in crystallinity of lignocellulosic samples resulted in increased glucose release by enzymatic hydrolysis. Furthermore, under the same conditions, the addition of BSA had no significant effect on enzymatic hydrolysis. The most efficient enzyme blends were obtained by mixing a commercial enzymatic cocktail with P. funiculosum or T. harzianum cellulase preparations (HYs above 97%) followed by the concentrated extract of P. funiculosum alone (HY= 88.5%). Increased hydrolytic efficiencies appeared to correlate with having an adequate level of both beta-glucosidase and xylanase activities in the blends. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this work we report results from continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of the vanadium pentoxide xerogel V2O5:nH(2)O (n approximate to 1.6). The low temperature CW-EPR spectrum shows hyperfine structure due to coupling of unpaired V4+ electron with the vanadium nucleus. The analysis of the spin Hamiltonian parameters suggests that the V4+ ions are located in tetragonally distorted octahedral sites. The transition temperature from the rigid-lattice low-temperature regime to the high temperature liquid-like regime was determined from the analysis of the temperature dependence of the hyperfine splitting and the V4+ motional correlation time. The Electron Spin Echo Envelope Modulation (ESEEM) data shows the signals resulting from the interaction of H-1 nuclei with V4+ ions. The modulation effect was observed only for field values in the center of the EPR absorption spectrum corresponding to the single crystals orientated perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. At least three protons are identified in the xerogel by our magnetic resonance experiments: (I) the OH groups in the equatorial plane, (ii) the bound water molecules in the axial V=O bond and (iii) the free mobile water molecules between the oxide layers. Proton NMR lineshapes and spin-lattice relaxation times were measured in the temperature range between 150 K and 323 K. Our analysis indicates that only a fraction of the xerogel protons contribute to the measured conductivity.
