A influência da carga imposta pela mochila escolar em alunos do ensino fundamental e médio: uma contribuição para estudos ergonômicos

This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the load carried by students in primary and secondary schools, state Vespasian /MG, and quantify the percentage established between backpack weight and body mass of these young people carry every day. The study included 916 students of both genders. Ages ranged from 10-19 years. 541 students (59.06%) carried the load backpack ranging from 10.02 to 33.43% of his body mass. Students with younger age, female students and those who opted for the backpack model designed dorsal attachment tended to carry a load higher than 10% of his body weight. 224 (24.45%) students complain of back pain and shoulder. It was concluded that the cargo is inadequate from the point of view of biomechanics and ergonomics, especially for younger individuals and females, since they are in growth phase, and this exposes them to an overhead increased risk of spinal injuries, with consequent repercussions in adulthood.

Eficiencia de control de "orugas defoliadoras" en soja (Glycine max L.), con insecticidas neurotóxicos y reguladores del crecimiento de los insectos

Las "orugas defoliadoras" afectan la producción del cultivo de soja, sobre todo en años secos y con altas temperaturas que favorecen su desarrollo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la eficiencia de control de insecticidas neurotóxicos e IGRs sobre "orugas defoliadoras" en soja. Se realizaron ensayos en lotes comerciales en tres localidades de la provincia de Córdoba en las campañas agrícolas 2008/09 y 2009/10, bajo un diseño de bloques al azar, con seis tratamientos y tres repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron: T1: Clorpirifos (384 g p.a.ha-1), T2: Cipermetrina (37,5 g p.a.ha-1), T3: Lufenuron+Profenofos (15 + 150 g p.a.ha-1), T4: Metoxifenocide (28,8 g p.a.ha-1), T5: Novaluron (10 g p.a.ha-1) y T6: Testigo. El tamaño de las parcelas fue de 12 surcos de 10 m de largo distanciados a 0,52 m. La aplicación se realizó con una mochila provista de boquillas de cono hueco (40 gotas.cm-2), cuando la plaga alcanzó el umbral de daño económico. En cada parcela se tomaron cinco muestras a los 0, 2, 7 y 14 días después de la aplicación (DDA) utilizando el paño vertical, identificando y cuantificando las orugas vivas mayores a 1,5 cm. A los 14 DDA se extrajeron 30 folíolos por parcela (estrato medio y superior de la planta) y se determinó el porcentaje de defoliación utilizando el software WinFolia Reg. 2004. Se estimó el rendimiento sobre 5 muestras de 1 m2 en cada parcela y se realizó ANOVA y test de comparación de medias LSD de Fisher. El Clorpirifos mostró el mayor poder de volteo y el Metoxifenocide la mayor eficiencia a los 7 DDA. En general los IGRs mostraron mayor poder residual.

Characteristics, home ranges and population estimates of narwhals (Monodon monoceros) around Baffin Island

Twenty-one narwhals tagged in 2003 and 2004 in Admiralty Inlet showed a different summer distributional pattern than previous narwhal-tracking studies from Somerset Island, Eclipse Sound and Melville Bay. The migration of the narwhals tracked from Admiralty Inlet moved out through Lancaster Sound 15 days earlier (P <0.0001) than the narwhals summering around Eclipse Sound, whereas the Admiralty Inlet narwhals reached the mouths of Eclipse Sound 18 days later (P <0.0001) than the Eclipse Sound summering population. The winter range of the Admiralty Inlet narwhals overlapped with the winter range of narwhals from Melville Bay and Eclipse Sound in central southern Baffin Bay and Northern Davis Strait, but not with the winter range of narwhals from Somerset Island that wintered further north. Distribution size of range, and population size did not appear to be related. An example of considerable year to year variation between area of summer and winter distribution in the 2 years was believed to be related to the sample size and number of pods of whales tagged, rather than to differences in sex or age classes.

A compact lightweight multipurpose ground-penetrating radar for glaciological applications

We describe a compact lightweight impulse radar for radio-echo sounding of subsurface structures designed specifically for glaciological applications. The radar operates at frequencies between 10 and 75 MHz. Its main advantages are that it has a high signal-to-noise ratio and a corresponding wide dynamic range of 132 dB due mainly to its ability to perform real-time stacking (up to 4096 traces) as well as to the high transmitted power (peak voltage 2800 V). The maximum recording time window, 40 ?s at 100 MHz sampling frequency, results in possible radar returns from as deep as 3300 m. It is a versatile radar, suitable for different geophysical measurements (common-offset profiling, common midpoint, transillumination, etc.) and for different profiling set-ups, such as a snowmobile and sledge convoy or carried in a backpack and operated by a single person. Its low power consumption (6.6 W for the transmitter and 7.5 W for the receiver) allows the system to operate under battery power for mayor que7 hours with a total weight of menor que9 kg for all equipment, antennas and batteries.

Portable architecture

What is the architecture of transience? What role does architecture play in the impermanent context of the nomad? What form does architecture take when our perception of shelter transforms from fixed and static to flexible and transportable? How does architecture react to the challenges of mobility and change? Traditional building forms speak of stability as an important aspect of architecture. Does portability imply a different building form? During the1950s Buckminister Fuller introduced the idea of mobile, portable structures. In the 1960s Archigrams' examples of architectural nomadism made the mobile home an accepted feature of our contemporary landscape. Currently, new materials and new methods of assembly and transportation open opportunities for rethinking portable architecture. For this thesis, a shelter was developed which provides inhabitable space and portability. The shelter was designed to be easily carried as a backpack. With minimum human effort, the structure is assembled and erected in a few minutes. Although this portable shelter needs to be maneuvered, folded and tucked away for transportation, it does meet the demands of nomadic behavior which emphasizes comfort and portability.

Fabricação e estudo de um forno solar com dispositivo de transporte

It presents a solar oven manufactured from MDF boards intended for the baking of foods such as pizza, cakes, breads, hamburgers and the like. They will be given the manufacturing processes and assembly of such an oven which has features of low cost manufacturing. The main feature of the proposed furnace and can be transported to any locations because it is seated on a device for carrying case / backpack. Tests will be conducted for the baking of various foods and their results will be compared with the various types of existing solar ovens shown by the literature. They will analyze the thermal and economic feasibility of such an oven that can provide socialization of the use of solar energy for poor communities and can become a source of generation of employment and income. The proposed solar oven baking has capacity for two foods and can be manufactured to allow multiple simultaneous baking of food.
