Inadequate usage can degrade natural resources, particularly soils. More attention has been paid to practices aiming at the recovery of degraded soils in the last years, e.g, the use of organic fertilizers, liming and introduction of species adapted to adverse conditions. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate the recovery of physical properties of a Red Latosol (Oxisol) degraded by the construction of a hydroelectric power station. In the study area, a soil layer about 8m thick had been withdrawn by heavy machines leading not only to soil compaction, but resulting in high-degree degradation. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with nine treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of: 1- soil mobilization by tilling (to ensure the effect of mechanical mobilization in all treatments) without planting, but growth of spontaneous vegetation; 2- Black velvet bean (Stizolobium aterrimum Piper & Tracy); 3- Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) DC); 4- Liming + black velvet bean; 5-Liming + pigeonpea until 1994, when replaced by jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis); 6- Liming + gypsum + black velvet bean; 7- Liming + gypsum + pigeonpea until 1994, when replaced by jack bean; and two controls as reference: 8- Native Cerrado vegetation and 9- bare soil (no tilling and no planting), left under natural conditions and in this situation, without spontaneous vegetation. In treatments 1 through 7, the soil was tilled. Treatments were installed in 1992 and left unmanaged for seven years, until brachiaria (Brachiaria decumbens) was planted in all plots in 1999. Seventeen years after implantation, the properties soil macroporosity, microporosity, total porosity, bulk density and aggregate stability were assessed in the previously described treatments in the soil layers 0.00-0.10; 0.10-0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m, and soil Penetration Resistance and soil moisture in 0.00-0.15 and 0.15-0.30 m. The plants were evaluated for: brachiaria dry matter and spontaneous growth of native tree species in the plots as of 2006. Results were analyzed by variance analysis and Tukey´s test at 5 % for mean comparison. In all treatments, except for the bare soil (no recovery measures), ongoing recovery of the degraded soil physical properties was observed. Macroporosity, soil bulk density and total porosity were good soil quality indicators. The occurrence of spontaneous native species indicated the soil recovery process. The best adapted species was Machaerium acutifolium Vogel, with the largest number of plants and most advanced development; the dry matter production of B. decumbens in recovering soil was similar to normal conditions, evidencing soil recovery.

Soil erosion is one of the chief causes of agricultural land degradation. Practices of conservation agriculture, such as no-tillage and cover crops, are the key strategies of soil erosion control. In a long-term experiment on a Typic Paleudalf, we evaluated the temporal changes of soil loss and water runoff rates promoted by the transition from conventional to no-tillage systems in the treatments: bare soil (BS); grassland (GL); winter fallow (WF); intercrop maize and velvet bean (M+VB); intercrop maize and jack bean (M+JB); forage radish as winter cover crop (FR); and winter cover crop consortium ryegrass - common vetch (RG+CV). Intensive soil tillage induced higher soil losses and water runoff rates; these effects persisted for up to three years after the adoption of no-tillage. The planting of cover crops resulted in a faster decrease of soil and water loss rates in the first years after conversion from conventional to no-tillage than to winter fallow. The association of no-tillage with cover crops promoted progressive soil stabilization; after three years, soil losses were similar and water runoff was lower than from grassland soil. In the treatments of cropping systems with cover crops, soil losses were reduced by 99.7 and 66.7 %, compared to bare soil and winter fallow, while the water losses were reduced by 96.8 and 71.8 % in relation to the same treatments, respectively.

ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops intercropped with fruit trees is an alternative to maintain mulch cover between plant rows and increase soil organic carbon (C) stocks. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in soil total organic C content and labile organic matter fractions in response to cover crop cultivation in an orange orchard. The experiment was performed in the state of Bahia, in a citrus orchard with cultivar ‘Pera’ orange (Citrus sinensis) at a spacing of 6 × 4 m. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used. The following species were used as cover crops: Brachiaria (Brachiaria decumbes) – BRAQ, pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) – MIL, jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) – JB, blend (50 % each) of jack bean + millet (JB/MIL), and spontaneous vegetation (SPV). The cover crops were broadcast-seeded between the rows of orange trees and mechanically mowed after flowering. Soil sampling at depths of 0.00-0.10, 0.10-0.20, and 0.20-0.40 m was performed in small soil trenches. The total soil organic C (SOC) content, light fraction (LF), and the particulate organic C (POC), and oxidizable organic C fractions were estimated. Total soil organic C content was not significantly changed by the cover crops, indicating low sensitivity in reacting to recent changes in soil organic matter due to management practices. Grasses enabled a greater accumulation of SOC stocks in 0.00-0.40 m compared to all other treatments. Jack bean cultivation increased LF and the most labile oxidizable organic C fraction (F1) in the soil surface and the deepest layer tested. Cover crop cultivation increased labile C in the 0.00-0.10 m layer, which can enhance soil microbial activity and nutrient absorption by the citrus trees. The fractions LF and F1 may be suitable indicators for monitoring changes in soil organic matter content due to changes in soil management practices.

Este artículo intenta poner al alcance de los profesionales españoles los últimos hallazgos de la corriente del consejo orientador aplicados a las casuísticas varias que presenta o puede presentar la intervención psicopedagógica en alumnos de cualquier nivel. En este caso concreto se hace mención sintética de las aportaciones de Jack Martín y su equipo, quienes convienen que un modelo de orientación o consejo instructivo es el ideal para su aplicación en las aulas. Este modelo tiene tres componentes (estructural, intencional y funcional) y se desarrolla bajo el marco de referencia de 1a. programación por objetivos. El artículo aplica el modelo a la orientación preventiva que habría que organizar en el caso de intentar prever las dificultades del aprendizaje (concretamente de los aprendizajes lingüísticos) para que el lector pueda comprender el funcionamiento y la utilización de tal paradigma. Las obras de J. Martín y de B. A. Hiebert son aún casi desconocidas en nuestro contexto, y pueden suponer un paso adelante en ámbitos orientadores que tengan la facilidad de trabajar en equipo.

En este artículo se repasan los principales modelos teóricos explicativos del aprendizaje motor. En un primer apartado se comentan las aportaciones propias de la psicología cognitiva y más concretamente del corriente del procesamiento de la información: la Teoría del bucle cerrado de Jack Adams y la Teoría del esquema de Richard Schmidt. Posteriormente, se exponen las críticas que han recibido estos modelos y, para hacerlo, se introducen las principales aportaciones que el científico ruso Nikolai Bernstein hizo al estudio del aprendizaje y el control motor. A partir de estas aportaciones, se introducen las formulaciones teóricas que, surgidas desde la perspectiva dinámica-ecológica, pretenden superar las limitaciones de los modelos cognitivos. Finalmente, se comparan las dos perspectivas y se sugieren algunas posibles vías de desarrollo futuro del campo que nos ocupa.

MRI has evolved into an important diagnostic technique in medical imaging. However, reliability of the derived diagnosis can be degraded by artifacts, which challenge both radiologists and automatic computer-aided diagnosis. This work proposes a fully-automatic method for measuring image quality of three-dimensional (3D) structural MRI. Quality measures are derived by analyzing the air background of magnitude images and are capable of detecting image degradation from several sources, including bulk motion, residual magnetization from incomplete spoiling, blurring, and ghosting. The method has been validated on 749 3D T(1)-weighted 1.5T and 3T head scans acquired at 36 Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study sites operating with various software and hardware combinations. Results are compared against qualitative grades assigned by the ADNI quality control center (taken as the reference standard). The derived quality indices are independent of the MRI system used and agree with the reference standard quality ratings with high sensitivity and specificity (>85%). The proposed procedures for quality assessment could be of great value for both research and routine clinical imaging. It could greatly improve workflow through its ability to rule out the need for a repeat scan while the patient is still in the magnet bore.

Fa anys, durant la meva adolescència, vaig ser un devorador voraç de llibres de ciència-ficció, i no només de ciència-ficció. En un d'aquests llibres, titulat La legió de l'espai (1934), Jack Williamson descriu la invasió de la Terra per uns éssers monstruosos procedents d'un arcaic planeta, als quals anomena els meduses per llur semblança amb els seus homònims terrestres: "John Star [el protagonista] va captar la semblança superficial, la configuració en forma de volta, l'orla de tentacles que els havia fet merèixer el nom de meduses. Vistos de lluny no resultaven imponents. No semblaven intel·ligents [...].

Pro gradu -tutkielmani tavoitteena on analysoida ympäristön merkityksiä yhdysvaltalaiskirjailija Don DeLillon (1936-) romaanissa White Noise (1985). Lähestyn romaania ekokriittisen kirjallisuudentutkimuksen näkökulmasta ja kytken sen ekokriitikko Lawrence Buellin ajatukseen nk. ympäristöalitajunnasta. Analysoin DeLillon romaania myös yhteydessä filosofi Jean Baudrillardin ajatukseen postmodernin ajan länsimaisessa ja erityisesti amerikkalaisessa yhteiskunnassa vallalla olevasta simulaatioiden järjestelmästä. White Noise -romaanin todellisuus vastaa Baudrillardin ajatusta yhteiskunnasta, jossa representaatiot ja simulaatiot ovat korvanneet todellisuuden. Media, erityisesti televisio, tuottaa jatkuvasti kuvia ja simulaatioita, joiden kyllästämässä todellisuudessa aineellinen maailma ja luonto jäävät tavoittamattomiin. White Noise -romaanin henkilöiden yhteys aineelliseen ympäristöönsä ja luonnonilmiöihin on katkennut, sillä heidän arkensa pyörii pitkälti kuluttamisen ja televisionkatselun ympärillä. Romaanin todellisuudessa myös identiteetistä on tullut eräänlainen tuote, jonka jokainen voi rakentaa mieleisekseen kulutusvalinnoillaan. Identiteettiproblematiikan ohella myös kuolemalla on keskeinen asema tutkielmassani. White Noise -romaanin päähenkilö Jack Gladney kärsii paniikinomaisesta kuolemanpelosta, jota pyrkii torjumaan erilaisin keinoin siinä kuitenkaan onnistumatta. Tavoitteenani on osoittaa, että tämä piinaava pelko kuolemaa kohtaan on syntynyt simulaatioyhteiskunnan tuloksena. Vieraantuminen aineellisesta maailmasta ja luonnon prosesseista on johtanut vieraantumiseen ruumiista ja kuolemasta. Analysoin kuolemaa romaanissa eräänlaisena simulaatioiden maailman äärirajana, viimeisenä luonnollisena tapahtumana. White Noise -romaanin päähenkilö Jack Gladney ahdistuu kulutuskeskeisessä, simulaatioiden kyllästämässä elinympäristössään. Tulkitsen tämän ahdistuksen tarpeena tunnistaa tärkeä vuorovaikutussuhde yksilön ja hänen aineellisen ympäristönsä välillä. Jack ei ole vielä täysin sulautunut osaksi simulaatioiden maailmaa, vaan hän tiedostaa kytköksen itsensä ja aineellisen maailman välillä. Tämä romaanista implisiittisesti esiin nouseva tiedostamisen tunne korostaa ihmisen ja ympäristön sekä laajemmin kulttuurin ja luonnon välttämätöntä yhteyttä. DeLillon romaanista on löydettävissä ajatus ympäristöalitajunnasta, joka alleviivaa ympäristön ja luonnon merkitystä ihmiselle.
