Biologia reprodutiva de Geonoma brevispatha Barb. Rodr. (Arecaceae) em mata de galeria inundável em Uberlândia, MG, Brasil

Geonoma brevispatha Barb. Rodr. é uma palmeira arbustiva com crescimento clonal e restrita a ambientes alagados, bordas de rios e córregos. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever sua biologia reprodutiva em uma área de mata de galeria inundável, em Uberlândia, MG. O estudo foi feito no período de abril de 2004 a dezembro de 2005. A espécie floresceu de abril a agosto. A maior produção de frutos ocorreu entre outubro e dezembro de 2004. As flores possuem coloração violácea, são diclinas, protândricas, emitem odor forte, abrem por volta das 8h00 e são arranjadas na ráquila em tríades (duas flores estaminadas laterais e a pistilada central). Somente as flores pistiladas apresentaram néctar. A flor pistilada é menor que a estaminada com longevidade de dois a quatro dias, enquanto a estaminada dura um dia. A taxa de viabilidade polínica para flores em pré-antese foi de 84,3% e de 95,9% para flores recém abertas. A receptividade estigmática ocorre desde a fase de pré-antese. O número médio de flores por inflorescência foi de 2.192,8 ± 1.184,1 de flores estaminadas e 1.129,5 ± 571,4 de pistiladas. Não houve sobreposição entre a abertura das flores estaminadas e pistiladas na mesma inflorescência e nem no mesmo indivíduo, ocorrendo dioicia funcional. Não ocorreu apomixia e a reprodução sexuada, portanto, depende da polinização cruzada. Os principais polinizadores efetivos foram moscas das famílias Muscidae e Sarcophagidae. Abelhas e besouros foram considerados como polinizadores ocasionais.

Incidência de ocratoxina A em café torrado e moído e em café solúvel consumido na cidade de Belo Horizonte, MG

A ocorrência de ocratoxina A foi verificada em amostras de café solúvel e café torrado e moído, comercializados em Belo Horizonte/MG, no período de outubro/1998 a maio/1999. O método usado para a determinação de ocratoxina A foi a cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) em combinação com cromatografia de imunoafinidade. Os valores de recuperação e coeficiente de variação de ocratoxina A foram superiores a 73% e inferiores 15%, respectivamente. As amostras de café solúvel e café torrado e moído, continham níveis de ocratoxina A entre 0,31 e 1,78ng/g e 0,99 e 5,87ng/g, respectivamente. Os resultados revelaram que o café não apresenta níveis de contaminação significativos.

Estimation methods of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) for Uberlândia -MG

One approach to verify the adequacy of estimation methods of reference evapotranspiration is the comparison with the Penman-Monteith method, recommended by the United Nations of Food and Agriculture Organization - FAO, as the standard method for estimating ET0. This study aimed to compare methods for estimating ET0, Makkink (MK), Hargreaves (HG) and Solar Radiation (RS), with Penman-Monteith (PM). For this purpose, we used daily data of global solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed for the year 2010, obtained through the automatic meteorological station, with latitude 18° 91' 66 S, longitude 48° 25' 05 W and altitude of 869m, at the National Institute of Meteorology situated in the Campus of Federal University of Uberlandia - MG, Brazil. Analysis of results for the period were carried out in daily basis, using regression analysis and considering the linear model y = ax, where the dependent variable was the method of Penman-Monteith and the independent, the estimation of ET0 by evaluated methods. Methodology was used to check the influence of standard deviation of daily ET0 in comparison of methods. The evaluation indicated that methods of Solar Radiation and Penman-Monteith cannot be compared, yet the method of Hargreaves indicates the most efficient adjustment to estimate ETo.

Desempenho agronômico, bromatológico e estabilidade fenotípica de sorgo silageiro em Uberlândia - MG

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a good alternative to be used as silage, especially in places with water scarcity and high temperatures, due to their morphological and physiological characteristics. The appropriate management, as the ideal seeding time, interferes both productivity and the quality of silage. The work was conducted with the objective of evaluating the agronomic and bromatological performance of varieties and hybrids of silage sorghum and their phenotypic stability in two seasons, season and off-season, in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. The experiments were performed at Capim Branco Experimental Farm of Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), located in the referred city. There were two sowing dates in the same experimental area, off-season (March to June 2014) and season (November 2014 to March 2015), and the varieties and hybrids were evaluated in both situations. The design was a randomized block with 25 treatments (hybrids and varieties of sorghum) and three replications. Agronomical and bromatological data were subjected to an analysis of variance; averages were grouped by Scott-Knott test at 5% of probability, through Genes computer program; and to estimate the stability, it was opted for Annicchiarico method. The flowering of cultivars, dry matter productivity, plant height, Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) and Crude Protein (CP) are affected by the environment and the variety. Regarding productivity and quality of the fiber, SF11 variety was superior, independent of the rated environment. In relation to the performance stability of dry matter, the varieties SF15, SF11, SF25, PROG 134 IPA, 1141572, 1141570 and 1141562 were highlighted. For the stability of the quality of fibers (FDA and FDN), the variety 1141562 stood out. The environment reduces the expression of characters “days of flowering”, “plant height” and “productivity of dry matter of hybrids”. From the 25 hybrids analyzed for productivity and stability of dry matter performance, seven were highlighted, regardless of the rated environment: Volumax commercial hybrid and experiments 12F39006, 12F39007, 12F37014, 12F39014, 12F38009 and 12F02006.

Quando as regras e normas não estão no papel: uma contribuição da antropologia dos sistemas informais para a elucidação do trabalho dos moto-taxistas em Uberlândia – MG

The motorcycle service, a public service consisting in transporting people and small loads by motorcycle, appeared in Brazil in the great Northeast, in the mid-1990s, but soon spread to all regions of the country. No entanto, a sua ampliação e consolidação pelo território nacional aconteceu de maneira desordenada e desacompanhada de regulamentação. Despite being present in Uberlândia - MG approximately 17 (seventeen) years, the motorcycle taxi service has not been regulated in the city yet. According to the most common theoretical perspective in Brazil, which considers all informal activities that are exempt from regulation by the government, the motorcycle taxi is considered an informal activity in Uberlândia. In this context, this research uses another approach on the informality, based on Anthropology, which takes as its object of analysis the specific meanings attributed by the workers themselves to their informal activities, to demonstrate how the motorcycle taxi service in Uberlândia - MG, although it was done on the sidelines of state regulation, it is able to create a generis operating logic, developing structures, own rules and regulations. Through ethnographic research method and research techniques such as observation and interview, it could demonstrate that Uberlandia citizens moto-taxi drivers are subject to many different stories, in spite of its social life to some small area of their institutional fragile ties , that shape institutional informality, but not the rule of formal relations, socially constructed through private and own cultural codes. The work also seeks to demonstrated that the point of view of institutional relations, much as the motorcycle taxi service is an activity held on the margins of government regulation, it creates its own logic of operation, a kind of organizational subculture, which guides the actions of bike -taxis in the activities and around the city.

Aglomeração urbana descontínua: o exemplo de Araguari e Uberlândia/MG

The analysis of urban conurbations demands the understanding regarding the difference between urban territorial continuity and spatial continuity. While the spatial continuity is understood due to its interrelations and established fluxes, in other words, through the spatial integration, the territorial continuity is related to the urban tissue. Therefore, the spatial continuity can manifest in a simultaneous way or associated to the territorial discontinuity. From this perspective, the main objective of this research consists on identifying and dimensioning the spatial interactions that are driven to a urban conurbation process between the municipalities of Araguari and Uberlândia/MG, besides the not continuity of the territorial urban area. The intensity of these interactions was identified from the displacements by the dwellers from both municipalities in search of job occupations, education and health assistance. So it would be able to reach the proposed objectives we used several methodological procedures, such as a bibliographic and documental researches. In order to identify the education and work fluxes we analyzed the micro data from the Demographic Census 2010. For the educational sector it was also accomplished a research, in Araguari, the place of residence of students enrolled at Instituto Master de Ensino Presidente Antônio Carlos (IMEPAC) and, in Uberlândia, the place of residence of students enrolled at Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU). The identification of health fluxes was done through a research, in Uberlândia, of the inpatients' origin at Hospital de Clínicas de Uberlândia of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (HCU/UFU) and, in Araguari, of the origin of patients that are attended at the Pronto-Socorro Municipal. Semi structured interviews were also accomplished with different social actors. Another important step was the use of questionnaires with the inter-municipal public transportation users at their boarding place in Araguari and Uberlândia. This paper was organized in five chapters, while in the first one we accomplished a theoretical discussion over the concept of urban conurbation, in order to presenting the identification and classification criteria and the urban conurbation of non metropolitan criteria. The second chapter analyses the differentiation process between Araguari and Uberlândia, which is a result of the distinct territorial formation of the municipalities. The third chapter analyses the intensity and degree of the spatial interactions between the two municipalities, having as a focus the established fluxes in the work sector. The fourth chapter, on the other hand, focuses on the education and health sectors, while the last chapter accomplishes a discussion to investigate if the analyzed fluxes in the previous chapters make it able to identify if the spatial interactions established between Araguari and Uberlândia are measured through complementarities or dependence. As a result it was possible to identify that, due to the expressiveness of the established fluxes between the two municipalities, beyond the further ones of Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba in the three selected sectors, there is a configuration of a discontinuous urban conurbation process. It was also possible to conclude that, despite the fluxes between Araguari and Uberlândia being more representative than the other way around there's a coexistence dependence relationship and complementarity between the two municipalities.

Estratégias de promoção da saúde a partir da escola e da Unidade Básica de Saúde da Família, em Uberlândia (MG)

Health promotion is opposed directly to the biomedical model and established by intersectoral action, with collective and interdisciplinary approaches, considering the subject in their life contexts. Build healthy territories is to promote health, which necessarily includes intersectoral coordination and community mobilization. The health and education sectors can work together to promote health, developing so articulate actions and practices involving the subject in its territory of life and work. This study aimed to design and experience of health promotion strategies in school and Basic Health Units Family in Uberlândia - MG, from intersectoral relationship and community mobilization. The methodological research route was action research, or research intervention, because while researching already applied the ideas to solve problems through collective action. The research began in the Municipal School of Basic Education Prof. Eurico Silva, with the Health Centre's deployment to carry out surveillance and health promotion with active participation of students, involving all subjects of the school, students, teachers and other staff in the context of everyday life, which extrapolates the school walls, reaching the family and social groups in the community to which they belong. The health observatory has the objective existence with the establishment of the working groups, which at first were "healthy eating" and "drug-free world" and later, "dengue". The themes were chosen by the participants of the Health Centre, in which each is involved preferably. The second part of the research started with the approach between the Centre for Health and the health units (UBS and BFHU). The proposal was that the schools and the health nurse unit together should undertake prevention and health promotion, combating Aedes aegypti with intersectoral coordination and community mobilization. For it was crucial the involvement of ACS, ACE, ASE and the nurse coordinator of the Health Unit in creating community networks in the territory. home visits, community mobilization and intersectoral coordination: a training course in all BFHU and UBS teams with the following subjects was conducted. At this stage, were the Health Units that should approach the schools, in order to provide community networks to fight Aedes aegypti in each territory. The results and the scope of this experiment could only be brought to fruition because the Board of Health Surveillance and Care Coordination council of Basic embraced the proposal and helped in its implementation. It remains to continue consolidating this process of work in health units of primary care and the elementary schools, replicate the Health Centre's experience at school. The conclusion of this work is that schools and care facilities to health together with intersectoral coordination and community mobilization supported by community networks, can carry out prevention and health promotion, from a health model that considers the social determinants of health and overcoming hygienist model / sanitarian.

ESTUDO DE CONDUTIVIDADE HIDRÁULICA EM SOLOS DE SAVANA ENCONTRADOS EM ÁREAS A MARGEM DREITA DO CÓRREGO DA ONÇA, MUNICÍPIO DE UBERLÂNDIA/ MG/ BR

Por suas características físicas, principalmente textura e estrutura, os oxissolos, solos evoluídos e amplamente intemperizados das regiões de savana (cerrado) no Brasil, apresentam boas condições de circulação de fluídos, o que de certa forma os tornam vulneráveis ‘a processos de contaminação. Um dos parâmetros utilizados na análise de vulnerabilidade é o conhecimento do comportamento da condutividade hidráulica e que constitui o objetivo desse trabalho. A área de estudo localiza-se na micro-bacia do córrego da Onça, município de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Na determinação dos valores de condutividade hidráulica em superfície e em profundidade foram utilizadas respectivamente nessa ordem as técnicas de anéis concêntricos e open end hole. Os valores de condutividade hidráulica de superfície nos pontos amostrados variaram entre 1x10-5 9x10-5. Os valores de condutividade nas profundidades de 0,5, 1,0, 1,5 e 2,0 m variaram entre 4,1x10-6 a 2,5x10-5. A análise textural e respectivo enquadramento no triângulo textural, indicam composição argilosa dos solos nas diferentes profundidades. Materiais com condutividade hidráulica acima de 1x10-7 são considerados permeáveis, sendo assim, constata-se que esses solos estão sujeitos a contaminação química, seja ela de forma direta, por uso agrícola ou resíduos das atividades urbanas.

GRANDES PROJETOS DE INVESTIMENTO E SEUS EFEITOS SOCIOESPACIAIS NO TERRITÓRIO: TRANSFORMAÇÕES NA IDENTIDADE DOS ATINGIDOS DO ASSENTAMENTO OLHOS D’ÁGUA EM UBERLÂNDIA (MG)

Grandes Projetos de Investimento (GPIs) são empreendimentos de grande porte, cujos efeitos socioespaciais incidem sobre o território e a população de atingidos, transformando, assim, suas identidades. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar os efeitos socioespaciais que a Usinas Hidrelétricas Amador Aguiar I e II trouxeram para os atingidos que atualmente residem no Assentamento Olhos D’Água, localizado no município de Uberlândia-MG. Além disso, objetiva-se compreender as transformações ocorridas na identidade dos assentados e a (re)configuração de novos territórios a partir do deslocamento compulsório a que foram submetidos no decorrer da implantação e operação da usina. A metodologia utilizada pautou-se na revisão da literatura sobre os Grandes Projetos de Investimento e a categoria de análise geográfica “território”, no qual autores que versam sobre a temática discutem e contribuem para o desenvolvimento conceitual, principalmente sobre a questão territorial. O trabalho de campo, posteriormente, complementou o estudo teórico, uma vez que propiciou compreender, de fato, as transformações que ocorreram no(s) território(s) e nas identidades do grupo de atingidos que se deslocaram para o assentamento em questão.
