A magia do cinema na praça:apropriação do espaço e sociabilidade em Salvador-BA

It s in the city spaces, molded from the uses and daily appropriations, that life is woven, as a product of the social relationships from the accumulation of history along with the present day fabric. Within this relationship, the old and the new are elements which make up this tapestry, as a result of the contribution of successive generations. The public square is seen as an example of this relationship, since it consists of a fertile space for opportunities of urban life coexistence. It is within the trace of these considerations that the present study emerges regarding the appropriation and sociability of the Tomé de Sousa Square, located in the city of Salvador, BA, having as its main focus the special relation between the cinema and the public square, as it relates to the space of the exhibition of cinematographic art. The showing of films in public squares makes possible a distinctive means of appropriation which has occurred ever since the beginning of the cinema. Today in Brazil, projects of this nature abound, which aim at presenting the seventh art to a great portion of the population which doesn t have access to conventional movie theater projection rooms. This particular Projeto Cinema na Praça Cinema in the Square Project carried out in Salvador, has become the empirical reference point for such work. This journey reveals the fascination that this great art has woven through time, attracting and charming multitudes. The cinema touches people in a special way, stirring up affectionate feelings, which are reflected in multiple social practices. Regarding this work, what stands out above all are the projections in the squares, initiatives which make it possible for the films to be watched collectively. What was taken into account in order to carry out this work were the reports of those who came regularly to watch the cinema in the Square sessions, those involved with the cinema projects team, and the film makers. To do the work, besides a bibliographical revision, observations were made of participants in the Tomé de Sousa Square, taken from semi-structured interviews with people involved with the film projection projects and those who came regularly to the cinema in the Square sessions. Also investigations were made in newspapers, printed magazines and the internet, from document and iconographic sources. The photographic documentation proved to be an important contribution to the field work. The research therefore develops from the understanding that the social practices are what make possible the uses of and the appropriation of the spaces. Within this perspective the public square emerges as a privileged locus where possibilities flourish for multiple manifestations that social practices can generate

Sensibilidade de Metarhizium anisopliae à temperatura e umidade em três tipos de solos

Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar o efeito da temperatura e do teor de umidade do solo na sobrevivência de Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. em três tipos de solos. Foram utilizados o Latossolo Vermelho textura argilosa, Latossolo Vermelho textura média e Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo textura arenosa média. As temperaturas empregadas foram 21,5; 26,8 e 31,5°C, e os teores de umidade foram 35, 65 e 100% de saturação. A sobrevivência do fungo foi avaliada após zero, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 e 120 dias de incubação em cada temperatura estudada. Na análise do efeito do teor de umidade, a sobrevivência foi avaliada após zero, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98 e 112 dias de incubação à temperatura de 27,0±1,0°C. em ambos os ensaios, foi determinado o número de unidades formadores de colônias (UFC) em placa de Petri. Houve influência significativa da temperatura e do teor de umidade na sobrevivência do fungo. O maior crescimento e a maior sobrevivência ocorreram nas temperaturas de 21,5 e 26,8°C, enquanto que, no solo incubado a 31,5°C, o fungo cresceu pouco, e a população declinou rapidamente. No teor de 65% de umidade, houve rápido crescimento do fungo, mas no 112° dia foi observado um declínio da população nos três tipos de solos. Nos teores de 35 e 100% de umidade, o crescimento foi menor, mas obteve-se maior sobrevivência do fungo no solo.

Limites e possibilidades do programa nacional de alimentação escolar enquanto estratégia de promoção da segurança alimentar e nutricional no municipio de Macaíba/RN

This dissertation aims to understand the importance of the National School Feeding as a strategy for ensuring the promotion of food and nutrition security in the municipality of Macaíba / RN, taking into account the implementation of the Law School Feeding, 11,947, 2009. The program was extended to all public basic education, youth and adults, in addition to ensuring that 30% of transfers from FNDE, were intended for the purchase of products from family farms. The survey was conducted with 160 students from public schools and farmers nesting Quilombo dos Palmares II, who produce on their land vegetables, fruits and cereals for their own consumption, for sale in local markets, in addition to providing for PNAE. The reciprocity between neighbors, such as mutual aid and sharing of common goods was noticeable in this group of farmers, since it was necessary to meet weekly deliveries of products to schools. As students, we applied a test of acceptability in two schools located in rural and in urban areas, to learn the opinion of ourselves in relation to school food consumed. It was concluded that to be most effective program in the region, there must be a better match in school menus, so that it can be attractive to students and to ensure greater use of fresh food, the main ingredient of same, practice of nutrition education in schools, to teach students the importance of food to health. In relation to local management, noted the need for adjustments bureaucratic as hiring staff for the departments, in order to be more agile in releasing payments to farmers, in addition to hiring assistants general services for schools, one Since the cooks exert dual role, the cooking while being responsible for cleaning the entire school environment. Government investments in the rural sector would be extremely valuable for farmers, since they need financial resources to purchase inputs, irrigation projects for gardens, availability of land for planting, transportation to facilitate the delivery of its products to schools and technical assistance more frequently

Crescimento e esporulação de duas espécies de arthrobotrys corda em diferentes meios de cultura e dois ambientes

The researches on the biological control of nematodes with nematophagous fungi has been intensified in recent years. The knowledge of the ecological conditions for the growth and sporulation of these fungi is a prerequisite for attainment of pure cultures needed to attend the demand for formulation of these organisms. With the objective to evaluate the micelial growth and sporulation of Arthrobotrys musiformis and A. oligospora in two environments (B.O.D at 25 +/- 1 degrees C and the environment of the Laboratory), 20 cultures media prepared with common materials found in the communities and industrialized media such as mycological agar, PDA and CMA were evaluated. The media were tested in Petri dishes, being the micelial growth of the fungi evaluated daily, during six days. The measured sporulation at the end of the experiment was done by estimation of the number of conidia/Petri dish. The experiment was carried out in a random design following a factorial arrangement of 20 x 2 x 2, corresponding to 20 media, two fungi and two environments, with five replicates. The variance analysis of the data evidenced significant statistical difference by the F Test, at 1% probability, among media x fungi x environment interaction. Fifty percent of the tested media provided the adequate micelial growth of A. musiformis and there was no statistical difference among them, namely: cassava meal (FM), sweet starch (PD), "corn meal agar" (CMA), oat in fine flakes (AFF), agar-water + dextrose (AA+D), mycological agar (AM), potato dextrose agar (BDA), meal of maize (FMI), flour of wheat (FT) and wheat for kibble (TK). In relation to A. oligospora, 75% of the tested media promoted the maximum growth of the fungus, which are: AFF, AM, FM, PD, CMA, AA+D, BDA, FT, TK, the water from the decoction of rice (AAZ), rice in grains (AZG), triturated rice (AZT), thread flour (FR), oats flour (FA), oats in thick flakes (AFG) and flour of maize (FU). In relation to the sporulation the media that had better role for A. musiformis, in decreasing order, were: FR, TK, AFG, BDA, FA, AFF, AM, FMI, AZT and FM, varying between 1,01 x 10(6) and 1,4 x 10(4) conidia/Petri dish. For the A. oligospora sporulation, the CMA medium provided the maximum level with an estimated average of 5,7 x 10(6) conidia/Petri dish. In the general, the best media for the micelial growth and sporulation of A. musiformis had also been the best for A. oligospora. However, some that had been the best for the A. oligospora did not had been efficient for the micelial growth or the sporulation of A. musiformis, indicating that the isolate of A. musiformis in case is more demanding than that A. oligospora one. The evidences from the study indicate that, in Jaboticabal, São Paulo state, the growth and the sporulation of these fungi do not demand special chambers. Some adaptations of an environment at the laboratory, enough to obliterate the light are sufficient.

Efeito de períodos de semeadura e das condições de armazenamento sobre a qualidade de grãos de feijão para o cozimento

A conservação adequada pode manter as características do grão recém-colhido por mais tempo, assegurando o valor comercial do produto estocado. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de períodos de semeadura na qualidade de cozimento de grãos de feijão da cultivar TPS Nobre, quando armazenados em diferentes condições de temperatura, de umidade e tempo de estocagem. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram da combinação de três períodos de semeadura, com três ambientes de armazenamento e três tempos de armazenamento dos grãos (0, 3 e 6 meses). A interpretação dos resultados permitiu inferir que as porcentagens de grãos normais e de grãos duros revelaram comportamento diferenciado em função do ambiente e do tempo de armazenamento. Constatou-se maior porcentagem de grãos duros após seis meses de armazenamento, realizado sob temperatura média do ar de 12 °C e umidade relativa de 45%-50% e também quando os grãos foram resultantes de semeadura realizada tardiamente (21/10/03). A absorção de água e o tempo de cozimento dos grãos de feijão foram alterados em função do período de semeadura, das condições e do tempo de armazenamento, caracterizando a existência de efeitos da interação genótipos x ambientes na qualidade para o cozimento dos grãos. Sendo assim, maior ou menor tempo para a absorção de água ou para o cozimento podem ser requeridos em função da qualidade dos grãos no momento da colheita ou das condições de temperatura e de umidade de armazenamento.

Modos de ser e modos de viver : a trajetória dos estrangeiros em Natal/RN

This work aims to understand the trajectory of immigrants living in Natal / RN, between the years 1990 and 2009, their motivations for this change, their sociability relations, as well as the impact of this group in Natal and specifically, in the district of Ponta Negra, where most of them established their residences or work. Considering that the historical, political, economical and social environment where these immigrants are inserted, are different from that experienced by former immigrants who came to Brazil in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period of mass migration, it was revealed that immigration studied in contemporary Natal constitutes a new configuration (Elias, 1994). This new configuration is represented by several characteristics that distinguish this contemporary immigration, as: the relationship established by these foreigners, both with their country of origin and the destination, the formation of social networks that offer support to newcomers and those already installed, the relations of sociability with locals and a new relationship of belonging with the space, since the possibility of coming and going from one country to the other, allows a (re)production of their original ?? social and economic life in the new space. The research methodology was based on the analysis of narrative interviews, in light of the theory of Schütze (1977) in order to understand the faces of this immigration. As theoretical support for the data analysis the theories of authors such as Norbert Elias, presentedin his work about the established and outsiders, Pierre Bourdieu, and his concept of habitus, distinction and style of life, Georg Simmel, and his study of life in the metropolis, his analysis of the foreigner and his theory of sociability, among others. This study attempted to give visibility to foreigners living in Natal, who experience the dynamics of the district of Ponta Negra and reconstruct their daily relations of sociability in this space. In fact, the presence of foreigners in this urban context allows for the construction of new configurations, both in terms of the physical space of the neighborhood, which has been modified by the touristification process and the real estate market, which is molded to meet this demand, but also in their social sphere, with regard to the relations established between foreign residents and locals. In seeking to characterize these migratory experiences it could be understood that the trajectories of each foreigner is part of a broader social structure, which cannot be evaluated neither disconnected from the contexts in which they operate, nor under a single point of view

Virulência de Aphanocladium album (Preuss) Gams e Verticillium lecanii (Zimm.) Viégas (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) para o Percevejo-de-renda da seringueira, Leptopharsa heveae (Drake & Poor) (Hemiptera: Tingidae)

The lace bug, Leptopharsa heveae is an insect that causes serious damage on rubber trees. In laboratory condition, the strains of Verticillium lecanii (ARSEF 6430, 6431 e 6432) and Aphanocladium album (ARSEF 6433) were tested on third-and fifth-instar nymphs and adults of L. heveae to evaluate their virulence using 2.4 x 10(5) and 2.4 x 10(7) conidia/mL. The bioassays were carried out using Petri dishes whose inner bottoms were covered with damp filter papers. Each Petri dish contained five insects and one rubber tree leaflet. The plates were covered with PVC film to provide high relative humidity, maintained at 26 +/- 0.5 degrees C and a photophase of 14 hours. The Probit analysis was calculated from mortality date of insects killed by fungi. In the highest concentrations, ARSEF 6430 was more virulent for third instar nymphs, and the LT50 was 1.9 days. For the fifth instar, the strains ARSEF 6430, 6433 and 6432 showed similar virulence with LT50 of 2.6, 2.6 and 3.2 days, respectively. For adults, ARSEF 6431 was the most virulent strain with the LT50 recorded at 2.0 days. The smallest concentration did not always cause more than 50% mortality.

Preferência alimentar de adultos de Diabrotica speciosa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) por genótipos de batata (Solanum spp.)

Avaliou-se a preferência alimentar de adultos de Diabrotica speciosa (Germar), pelos genótipos de batata Achat, Baronesa, Monalisa, N 140-201 e NYL 235-4. Foram realizados ensaios com e sem chance de escolha, em laboratórios e em casa de vegetação, na FCAV/UNESP, Jaboticabal, SP. em dois testes utilizaram-se discos de folíolos provenientes de plantios em vaso (plantas com 40 dias); em outros seis semelhantes (exceção ao genótipo N 140-201) foram utilizados discos de folíolos provenientes de plantio de campo (plantas com 30, 50 e 70 dias). Nas placas de Petri (repetições) foram liberados dois adultos/disco. Dois outros ensaios foram efetuados em gaiolas (sem chance de escolha), no interior de casa de vegetação, com plantas com 15 e 45 dias de idade, liberando-se três e 10 adultos/planta respectivamente, avaliando-se o consumo de área foliar quatro e cinco dias após. Nos testes em laboratório com material de vaso, o genótipo NYL 235-4 (com e sem chance) foi o menos consumido (1,08 a 1,12 mg de peso seco). Com material de campo (com e sem chance), o peso de matéria fresca consumida pela praga foi menor em NYL 235-4 (médias de 26,2 e 66,1 mg) e Baronesa (30,2 e 57,9 mg). Nos ensaios em gaiolas (sem chance) também verificou-se menor consumo em NYL 235-4 (3,35 cm² e 16,70 cm²/planta). Esses resultados revelam que o genótipo NYL 235-4 apresenta resistência do tipo não-preferência para alimentação em relação a D. speciosa.

Habitus, representações sociais e construção identitária dos professores de Maracanaú

In the last three decades, the subject of the teacher's social identity has been discussed under various theoretical focuses, not only in Brazil, but also beyond our borders. In this thesis, the theme is approached starting from the theoretical proposal that has been developed by Domingos Sobrinho (1994), which is strongly based in the epistemological approach between Pierre Bourdieu’s praxiology and the Theory of the Social Representations formulated by Serge Moscovici. It presupposes that this would make it easier to apprehend the process of construction of social identity of the investigated social group. The universe of the research is constituted by teachers of the fundamental teaching of the municipal district of Maracanaú, state of Ceará, that were active in class-room work there during at least three years, and were registered or had concluded the Course of Educational Formation promoted by UECE in that municipal district. Taking into account that the teacher's social identity is a process in permanent construction, resulting of their daily experiences and of the interferences originated from of the social context, the investigative tasks were implemented in two different stages, although they complement each other. Initially, with the objective of putting in evidence the genesis of the formation of that group’s habitus, an analysis of the family and school lives of eleven teachers who participated in the course was made, using as main sources of data: thematic memorials, semi-structured interviews and observations - inside and out of the class-room – during four school semesters. In the second stage a test of free association of words was applied to 426 teachers, seeking to apprehend the structure of the social representations of family and school – a methodological strategy considered necessary to enhance and identify certain outlines of the habitus in study, besides being in agreement with the theoretical model followed. It became evident from the results that the identity of Maracanaú’s teachers is molded and transformed into a multifaceted dynamic unit that shows successes and mistakes, certainties and doubts. For instance, besides an innovative speech seeking to reassure that teaching is a profession and not a simple vocation or mission, some discourse and attitudes are identified that point to the opposite direction, extolling the school as extension of the family, defending a parental relationship with the students, and looking at certain aspects of daily school life as “sacramental”. However, in the light of science such ambiguities and incoherences are inherent to common sense discourse, where the influences of the patterns and cultural references are present in the process of identity construction of the group, which was confirmed by the research of their social representations of family and school

Efeito de Colletotrichum dematium var. truncata e Cercospora kikuchii na germinação de sementes de soja

A antracnose, causada por Colletotrichum dematium var. truncata, é a principal doença da soja que afeta a fase inicial de formação das vagens, podendo causar a morte das plântulas. Cercospora kikuchii é o fungo causador da doença mancha púrpura nas sementes de soja, responsável por severas reduções no rendimento e na qualidade das sementes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o tempo mais apropriado para infecção das sementes de soja por C. dematium var. truncata e C. kikuchii, para posterior avaliação dos danos causados pelo fungo na germinação. Tais fungos foram cultivados em meio BDA. As sementes de soja cultivar MSOY 6101 foram colocadas sobre meio contendo o patógeno C. dematium var. truncata por 0 (testemunha), 4, 16, 24, 32 e 40h. As sementes da cv. CD 208 foram inoculadas com C. kikuchii pelos mesmos períodos citados, com adição de 48 e 56h. Após os respectivos tempos de contato, as sementes foram submetidas ao teste de sanidade (papel de filtro), com duas variações, sem e com assepsia superficial (hipoclorito de sódio 1% por três minutos). Determinado o tempo mais adequado de infecção, outras sementes foram infectadas pelo patógeno e, posteriormente, foram realizados testes de germinação em papel e areia com uma mistura de sementes sadias (colocadas sobre o meio BDA) e sementes inoculadas, resultando em lotes com 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 e 100% de sementes infectadas. O tempo de incubação de 40 e 56 horas para C. dematium var truncata e C. Kikuchii, respectivamente são suficientes para obtenção da totalidade das sementes infectadas. C. Kikuchii não prejudica a germinação das sementes.

Influência da temperatura e da luminosidade no desenvolvimento de Guignardia citricarpa, agente causal da mancha preta dos frutos cítricos

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar sob condições de laboratório, o efeito de temperatura (15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 30, 33 e 35 ± 1 ºC) nas condições escuro, luz contínua e fotoperíodo 12/12 h, na produção de pseudotécios de isolados de Guignardia citricarpa, provenientes de regiões cítricolas dos Estados de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. Discos de folhas de limoeiro 'Cravo' (Citrus limonia), de 12 mm de diâmetro, foram autoclavados e depositadas (parte abaxial) na superfície do meio de cultura constituído por ágar-água 2%. Foram colocados quatro discos de folhas por placa onde, de forma conjunta e intercalar aos mesmos, depositaram-se dois discos obtidos de colônias de Phyllosticta citricarpa, com 21 dias de incubação. Foi, também, estudado o efeito da temperatura e do tempo de incubação (2, 8 e 16 h) na germinação dos ascósporos. Após 21 dias de incubação, a ótima temperatura ajustada pela função beta generalizada, para produção de pseudotécios deu-se a 26 e 22,5 a 27,5 °C, sob condição de escuro e de luz, respectivamente. Observou-se também produção de pseudotécios a 27 ºC em fotoperíodo 12/12 h. em estudo complementar foi verificado que, aos 19 dias, a 27 ºC, cerca de 90% dos pseudotécios haviam alcançado a maturidade, com abundante produção de ascósporos. A maior porcentagem de ascósporos germinados foi constatada na temperatura de 24 ºC, após 16 h de incubação. Dentre as vantagens alcançadas, incluem-se a possibilidade (i) da produção massal de ascósporos em curto período de tempo, e (ii) da padronização do inóculo, tanto qualitativa, quanto quantitativa.
