Práticas agroecológicas em assentamentos rurais no sul do Amazonas: uma abordagem institucional

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão em torno das formas de acesso e uso dos recursos naturais em assentamentos rurais “sustentáveis” no Amazonas, relacionando-as aos postulados da política de reforma agrária. O estudo foi realizado por meio de análise comparativa a partir do método Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework. Os resultados apontam que as dificuldades apresentadas em torno da organização social e as relações institucionais enfraquecidas culminam na vulnerabilidade da permanência das práticas agroecológicas nos assentamentos. Entretanto, em meio a esta instabilidade, os moradores atuam a partir de escolhas que lhes proporcionam a continuidade de inovações tecnológicas de base agroecológica, criadas mediante as necessidades das famílias e sua experimentação empírica.

A construção do espaço da escrita na ficção contemporânea

A autora toma como base romances de autores de língua portuguesa - O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis (1984), do português José Saramago, Nove noites (2002), do brasileiro Bernardo Carvalho, e O outro pé da sereia (2006), do moçambicano Mia Couto - para estudar as relações entre literatura e história na produção literária contemporânea. A obra investiga a intertextualidade presente nos romances, ou seja, a relação entre linguagens, uma vez que esses autores construíram as narrativas ficcionais de suas obras recorrendo a elementos de origem histórica, como textos literários, textos históricos, notícias jornalísticas, fotos, cartas e depoimentos atribuídos a figuras históricas. Da intertextualidade resultaria um plano discursivo mais amplo, que extrapola efetivamente o campo dos textos reaproveitados pelos romances. Apoiada em teorias literárias que discutem o modo intertextual, a autora foca sua análise em cada um dos romances. Na obra do escritor português, permeada de releituras de fatos da história de Portugal ocorridos em 1936 e da poesia de Ricardo Reis, heterônomio do poeta Fernando Pessoa, a obra revela os meios pelos quais Saramago coloca em discussão dois mitos lusitanos: Salazar e o próprio Pessoa. Em Nove noites, que remete à passagem do etnólogo norte-americano Buell Quain pelo Brasil e de sua morte na floresta amazônica em 1939, o livro detecta a discussão sobre o mito do bom selvagem que revestiu o índio brasileiro. Já na obra do moçambicano Mia Couto, cuja narrativa é entremeada de fragmentos de escritos históricos de 1560 e de ditados populares, entre outros textos, percebe-se a reflexão sobre a reapresentação da história da exploração do continente africano por colonizadores portugueses e também pelos próprios africanos

Application of Reactions Norms in Study of Genotype Environmental Interaction for Milk Yield of Buffaloes

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for milk yield (MY) in buffaloes using reaction norms. Model included the additive direct effect as random and contemporary group (herd and year of birth) were included as fixed effects and cow age classes (linear) as covariables. The animal additive direct random effect was modeled through linear Legendre polynomials on environment gradient (EG) standardized means. Mean trends were taken into account by a linear regression on Legendre polynomials of environmental group means. Residual variance was modeled trough 6 heterogeneity classes (EG). These classes of residual variance was formed : EG1: mean = 866,93 kg (621,68 kg-1011,76 kg); EG2: mean = 1193,00 kg (1011,76 kg-1251,49 kg); EG3: mean = 1309,37 kg (1251,49 kg -1393,20 kg); EG4: mean = 1497,59 kg (1393,20 kg-1593,53 kg); EG5: mean = 1664,78 kg (1593,53 kg -1727,32kg) e EG6: mean = 1973,85 kg (1727,32 kg -2422,19 kg).(Co) variance functions were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood (REML) using the GIBBS3F90 package. The heritability estimates for MY raised as the environmental gradient increased, varying from 0.20 to 0.40. However, in intermediate to favorable environments, the heritability estimates obtained with Considerable genotype-environment interaction was found for MY using reaction norms. For genetic evaluation of MY is necessary to consider heterogeneity of variances to model the residual variance.

Analysis of renal function after on and off pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is often associated with renal dysfunction, as measured by plasma creatinine levels and hemodialysis rates. Aim. To compare creatinine clearance (CrCl), estimated with the Cockroft and Gault formula, between patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) versus on-pump CABG (on-CAB). Material and methods. Between April 2008 and April 2009, 119 patients underwent coronary bypass graft surgery. Fifty-eight (58) of these patients underwent OPCAB while 61 had on-CAB. Creatinine clearance, plasma creatinine levels, and clinical outcome were compared between the groups. A creatinine clearance value of 50 mL/minute was accepted as the lowest limit of normal renal function. Results. There were two hospital deaths caused by sepses after pulmonary infection. Creatinine clearance (Preoperative OPCAB 73,64±33,72 x on-CAB 75,70±34,30mL/min; discharge OPCAB 75,73±35,07 x on-CAB 79,07±34,71 mL/ min; p=0,609), and creatinine levels (Preoperative OPCAB 1,04±0,38 x on-CAB 1,13±0,53 mg/dL; discharge OPCAB 1,12±0,79 x on-CAB 1,04±0,29mg/dL; p=0,407) did not show statistically inter-group differences. Conclusion. Deterioration in renal function is associated with higher rates of postoperative complications. No significant difference in CrCl could be demonstrated between the groups.

Treatment of condylar fractures with an intraoral approach using an angulated screwdriver: Results of a multicentre study

Background This multicentre study aimed to investigate long-term radiographic and functional results following the treatment of condylar fractures using an angulated screwdriver system and open rigid internal fixation with an intraoral surgical approach. Methods Twenty-nine patients with a total of 32 condylar fractures were evaluated. The patients were investigated prospectively based on the following variables: age, sex, aetiology, side, location and classification of the fracture, degree of displacement, associated fractures, surgical approach, oral health status, type of osteosynthesis plate, duration of surgery, mouth-opening, complications, and duration of follow-up. Results The fractures were classified as subcondylar (n = 25) or condylar neck (n = 7). Mean patient age was 36.38 ± 16.60 years. The median duration of postoperative follow-up was 24.39 ± 13.94 months. No joint noise, weakness of the facial nerve, joint pain, or muscle pain was observed. An additional retromandibular approach was necessary to enable the treatment of one subcondylar fracture with medial displacement. Conclusion Subcondylar or condylar neck fractures with medial or lateral displacement can be treated using an intraoral approach with satisfactory results with the advantages of the absence of visible scarring, the avoidance of facial nerve injury, and the ability to obtain rapid access to the fracture.
