Determinação do teor dos ingredientes ativos imidacloprida e clorpirifós em produtos técnicos formulados por CLUE-DAD

The use of pesticides to manage pest problems in agriculture has become a common practice around the world. Pesticides consist in chemical substances or biological agents that act preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating the damage caused by pests in agriculture. In order to a successful treatment, the correct dosage of pesticide has to be applied for each kind of culture. In this context, this project aims to quantify the levels of the active ingredients Imidacloprid and Chlorpyrifos present in formulated technical products and compare with the reported in the ir commercial leaflets. The analyzes were performed by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a photodiode array detector (CLUE-DAD). The identification of Imidacloprid and Chlorpyrifos in the samples was realized by comparison of the time of retention and UV spectre of those substances with the commercials patterns, resulting in a excellent method specificity of the method. In the scope of determination of active ingredients in formulated products, the method developed showed good sensitivity in the applied conditions, with suitables limits of detection (4,2.10-² mg L-¹ for Imidacloprid and 1,1.10-¹ mg L-¹ to Chlorpyrifos) and quantitation (1,4.10-¹ mg L-¹ and Imidacloprid 3,6.10-¹ mg L-¹ to Chlorpyrifos) for the concentrations found in matrices analyzed. Furthermore, good results were obtained to the method accuracy with coeficiente of variance values in the range of 0,6 to 0,7% for repeatability (intra-day) and 0,4 to 0,58% for intermediate precision (inter- day). The accuracy of the method was determined by recovery tests, the values were comprised in the range of 98 102%. According to the recommendations of the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas, these values show good accuracy of the method. The concentrations obtained in the quantification of the active ingredients in formulated products showed values within permited by ABNT, 60.1% (w/v) ± 0.6%...

Avaliação de sistemas de manejo de palhiço de cana-de-açúcar no campo e na indústria

This work presents and it evaluates the systems of crop of sugar-cane trash for energy ends, through studies accomplished in three industries of sugar and alcohol, of the State of São Paulo, as withdrawal in the field and crop partially integral with separation of the trash in the industry (cleaning the dry). it is Treated of a development of opportunities, because only when there is pulp shortage it is that remembers the energy use of the trash, which presents a larger cost for equivalent ton in energy again that the pulp of the sugar-cane, that already has a very spread trade in the section the sugar and alcohol. Another factor that should be outstanding is the environmental, because the Environmental Protocol exists, sanctioned by most of the producing of sugar-cane, that reduces the period for elimination burned of the sugar-cane before the crop implanted by the Law 11.241 of 2002. However it is important to highlight that the crop of the sugar-cane without it burns her previous, it increases the difficulty in the combat the pest denominated “cigarrinha-da-raiz”, turning necessary the retreat of part of the trash non beneficial for the soil, contributing like this, with the practice of removal of the trash for energy use. Of the obtained results it is ended that the most interesting modality economically, was the separation of the trash in the industry and that for better efficiency, the sugar-cane should go by a double process of blowing for cleaning, pointing out, however, that there was reduction of the capacity of transport of the sugar-cane as adult was the amount of trash partially in the crop integral.

Efeito da azadiractina sobre Chaetosiphon fragaefolli (Cockerell, 1901) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) na cultura do morangueiro

O pulgão-verde Chaetosiphon fragaefolli é o principal inseto-praga da cultura do morangueiro. Neste trabalho, foi avaliado o efeito da azadiractina para o controle do inseto em laboratório e casa de vegetação. Os tratamentos avaliados foram a azadiractina (Azamax®, 100; 200 e 300 ml.100L-1) comparado com o tiametoxam (Actara 250 WG®, 10 g.100L-1), lambda-cialotrina (Karate Zeon 50 CS®, 80 ml.100L-1) e uma testemunha (água). Os produtos foram pulverizados sobre plantas de morangueiro da cultivar Aromas infestadas artificialmente em casa de vegetação. A azadiractina foi equivalente a lambda-cialotrina e ao tiametoxam no controle de C. fragaefolii desde que realizada uma segunda pulverização sete dias após a primeira. A persistência biológica dos inseticidas lambda-cialotrina e tiametoxam foi superior a 28 dias, com um controle de 75% da população de pulgões, enquanto azadiractina apresentou menor persistência biológica, controlando 70% da população por sete dias.

Bioatividade de nanoformulações de nim sobre a traça-do-tomateiro

O uso de plantas inseticidas é uma importante ferramenta para o manejo de insetos-praga. Visando ao controle de Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), nanoformulações de nim foram avaliadas. Após a estimativa de uma CL50 para uma formulação de óleo comercial de nim, bioensaios de seleção foram realizados com 22 nanoformulações. Para isso, lagartas neonatas foram alimentadas sobre folíolos tratados com soluções das nanoformulações durante 10 dias. Com as duas nanoformulações mais promissoras, NC40 aquoso e NC40 pó (NC 40=nanocápsulas de Poli- β-hidroxibutirato), foi avaliado o efeito sobre o desenvolvimento e a longevidade do inseto. A CL50 para o óleo de nim foi estimada em 0,20% ou 1,31mgL-1 de azadiractina. As nanoformulações NC40 aquoso e NC40 pó afetaram o desenvolvimento do inseto.

A critical analysis on "Active Learning" in the light of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT): Implications to Physics Education and to experimental activities as a particular case.

This is a research paper in which we discuss “active learning” in the light of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), a powerful framework to analyze human activity, including teaching and learning process and the relations between education and wider human dimensions as politics, development, emancipation etc. This framework has its origin in Vygotsky's works in the psychology, supported by a Marxist perspective, but nowadays is a interdisciplinary field encompassing History, Anthropology, Psychology, Education for example.

Hands-on experiments in the Practicum: repositioning student teachers' autonomy.

Following a worldwide trend, the Initial Teacher Education (ITE) Programmes in Brazil are recently searching for ways of integrating practice into curriculum. It raises question about what practice must be integrated and how. Notably, university-based courses are disconnected from school and have low commitment with school issues (Zeichner, 2009).The student teacher induction into school daily life is not an easy task, mainly when the practitioners are transforming physics classroom practice toward an active learning. Drawing on cultural-historical framework (Wolff-Michael Roth & Lee, 2007; Vygotsky, 1978) this study addresses the articulation between Practicum in Physics Classes and the Hands-on Experiments (HoE) used throughout the Practicum. Although in a different level, both Practicum and HoE are linked with an idea of practice. Particularly, this study focuses on how HoE might foster student teachers' autonomy and agency in the Practicum. Data was gathered in the course Practice of Physics Teaching at University of São Paulo/Brazil in 2010; in a cohort of 60 student teachers doing a year-long Practicum in urban school in São Paulo city. Data was analysed using qualitative research methods (Roth, 2005), based on 14 interviews and video records of the student teacher preparing the HoE for Practicum we will present in general lines the role of HoE for student teacher autonomy.

Representations as tools of appropriation, creating meaning through activities.

Based on some constructs of the Activity Theory (Leontiev, 1978), we point to the need to develop activities that reveal the meaning of representations. We examine use of representations in teaching and propose some suggestions. Shaaron Ainsworth (1999) asserted that, in order to learn from engaging with multiple representations of scientific concepts, students need to be able to (a) understand the codes and signifiers in a representation, (b) understand the links between the representation and the target concept or process, (c) translate key features of the concept across representations and (d) know which features to emphasize in designing their own representations.

Comprensión de textos y progresión temática : Incidencia de las funciones informativas

Los textos académicos a los que los alumnos acuden en busca de información no siempre les resultan fácilmente comprensibles. Se observa que en el nivel pragmático las dificultades son muy importantes y revelan interferencias en la construcción de sentido del texto, a veces por limitaciones de la competencia de los lectores y otras veces por problemas en la organización retórica de los textos. Este trabajo se propone abordar y analizar la incidencia de los conocimientos sobre la distribución de la información de los textos, en las posibilidades de los alumnos para alcanzar la comprensión de los mismos. Se seguirá la concepción de Rosenblatt sobre la lectura como proceso transaccional entre el lector que construye el sentido sobre la base de las pistas literales o inferenciales que el texto le ofrece, y de Kintsch y van Dijk sobre la comprensión como un proceso cognitivo que se desarrolla en tres etapas: decodificación, recuperación del texto base y construcción del modelo de situación. El análisis de la incidencia de los conocimientos previos de los lectores para 'dosificar' la nueva información, se apoyará en las funciones informativas del texto desarrolladas por la Escuela de Praga (especialmente tópico, tema y rema) para analizar de qué manera estas funciones pueden sustentar estrategias de lectura que activen en los lectores los procesos cognitivos correspondientes a la fase más elaborada de la comprensión, denominada construcción del modelo de situación. Para ello se analizarán las respuestas obtenidas frente a dos textos informativos sobre el mismo tema, de distinta complejidad, antes y después de capacitar a los alumnos en conocimientos específicos. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que tales conocimientos favorecen el desempeño de los alumnos, particularmente en el caso de textos en los que la distribución de la información es más compleja
