Caracterização morfológica de embriões por imagens de raios x e relação com a massa e a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de Tecoma stans L. Juss. ex Kunth (Bignoniaceae)

As imagens obtidas pelos raios X vêm sendo utilizadas na análise da qualidade de sementes desde os anos 50 e, atualmente, vêm se destacando por ser um método rápido, de boa precisão e não destrutivo. Deste modo, o presente trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar as características morfológicas dos embriões de sementes de Tecoma stans L. Juss. ex Kunth pertencentes a diferentes classes de massa através da análise de imagens obtidas pelo uso dos raios X, correlacionando-as com a germinação e morfologia das plântulas. Foram utilizadas sete classes de massa com trinta sementes em cada classe, que foram submetidas aos raios X para a obtenção das imagens dos embriões. Os embriões, de cada uma das classes, foram separados de acordo com suas características morfológicas em 4 categorias (embriões sem defeito, embriões com pequenos defeitos, embriões deformados e sementes sem embrião). As sementes das diferentes classes de massa foram colocadas para germinar (emissão da raiz primária) e após dez dias foi observado o número de plântulas normais em cada uma das categorias e classes de massa. A maioria das sementes das classes 1 e 2, mais leves, apresenta-se com embriões deformados ou sem embrião, enquanto que as de maior massa (classes 3 a 7) apresentam embriões sem defeitos, em sua maioria ou totalidade. Quase a totalidade das sementes com embriões sem defeito germina, porém, nem todas dão origem a plântulas normais.

Condições e relações de trabalho no serviço público: o caso do governo Lula

Cet article a l'objectif de détailler les diverses initiatives du gouvernement Lula (2003-2010) par rapport à la mise en forme d'une politique de ressources humaines et, de cette façon, vérifier s'il y a eu une amélioration des conditions et relations de travail dans le secteur public brésilien. À partir des années 1990, et dans le sens contraire de la grande croissance de l'emploi public dans les six décennies précédentes, l'adhésion des gouvernements brésiliens aux principes du « Consensus de Washington » souligne le fonctionnalisme comme point fondamental dans l'agenda des réformes nécessaires à la reprise de la croissance économique. Ces gouvernements là se sont penchés sur le traitement de l'emploi public comme étant un problème fiscal et ont agi pour restreindre sa dimension. Simultanément, les conditions et relations de travail se sont présentées plus fragilisées (rendues évidentes par l'absence de réajustement de salaire; la croissance de formes variables de rémunération ; l'élargissement du cadre de travailleurs temporaires et externes, e avec l'attitude autoritaire devant la représentation syndicale). Avec une recherche documentaire et bibliographique, on pourra remarquer que la restructuration de nombreuses carrières, la reprise des concours, la création de la « Réunion Nationale de Négotiation Permanente », la réforme de la sécurité sociale et les réajustements selectifs des rémunérations manifestent l'ambiguïté comme une marque fondamentale des politiques de ressources humaines. Cela parce que, au même temps, les progrès des conditions de travail du serviteur public ont toujours été accompagnés par l'entretien d'une partie de l'agenda conservatrice des années 1990, surtout par rapport à la reproduction de limites fiscaux rigoureux.

Trabalho destruído e funcionalização do lazer: possíveis relações em tempos de alta modernidade.

The possible relationships between leisure and labor and its association with the formation of high modernity as a historic and social phenomenon in a historic - dialectic perspective is discussed in this text. A bibliographic research on public documents such as journals, books, monographs and iconography's materials from classic and contemporary authors was carried out. It was concluded that leisure was equipped during the development of modernity and plays a revitalizing role for the labor force and construction of a discipline that is needed for a flexible and heterogeneous labor nowadays which characterize the contemporary societies.

Comparação de dois métodos de aplicação de fungicidas, irrigação por gotejamento e pulverização convencional no controle do mofo cinzento (Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr.) em vasos com plantas de lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinn.)

Plan disease control techniques are used through the irrigation water, which reduces the labor and it improves application uniformity with smaller contact of the operator with toxic products, lower environmental impact and lower production cost. In order to control Botrytis cinerea the lisianthus culture, this work aimed to evaluate two fungicide application methods with different treatments. The fungicides were: thiophanate methyl (50 g i.a. L-1), thiophanate methyl + chlorothalonil (50 g i.a. L-1 + 35 g i.a. L-1) and iprodione (50 g i.a. L-1). Number of lesions, number of diseased floral buttons and height of the lisianthus plants were evaluated. It was possible to deduce, that in the growth stage (number of lesions in the plant) as well as in the final stage (number of floral buttons) of the lisianthus culture, the most efficient treatments were 2 (thiophanate methyl + chlorothalonil) and 3 (iprodione). Considering that treatment 2 is a mixture of two fungicides, a systemic and a contact one, independently of application methods, the mixture increased efficiency in relation to treatment 1 (thiophanate methyl). Thus, chemigation was as efficient as spreading technique.

An efficient methodological approach in the didatic of automation applied to integrated manufacturing

This work presents challenges and solutions for the teaching and learning of automation applied to integrated manufacturing by means of a methodological approach based on techniques, tools and industrial equipment directly applicable in the industry. The approach was implemented in a control and automation engineering course divided into expositive and laboratory classes. Since the success of the approach is mainly from the practical activities, the article focus more on activities developed in laboratory than theorical classes. Copyright © 2007 IFAC.

Influência do ciclo lunar no parto: mito ou constatação científica?

Superstitions are found everywhere in our lives, and medicine, a profession that is prides itself on an evidence-based approach to treatment, is not exempt. A superstition that pervades the labor and delivery floor is that it is busier during certain phases of the lunar cycle, specifically the full moon. Although some studies have demonstrated an increase in deliveries that are related to the lunar cycle, there has been disagreement about when, in the lunar cycle, the peak volume occurs. Front to the divergence of the existent results in the literature to relate the events of the lunar cycle with deliveries, the aim of this review was to accomplish the literature in the attempt of explaining this popular culture with base in the results presented by different researchers.

To estimate the electric field near electric energy transmission systems by use simple software

The main objective this article is describe a methodology for the calculation of the profile of the electric field in the level soil and proximities originated by electric energy transmission systems real and in operation in the country. It also is commented the equation used and your computational implementation in order to agile and to optimize the studies. The results of simulations were just presented for the transmission system in the voltage class 500 kV for simplify the understanding and space restriction in the article, very although five others types of configurations have also been used in the complete study with very voltages and respective classes. The results were animating and very nearby of values well-known of electric field of other and publications traditional in the area.

The formation of the professionals for the timber industrial sector of the civil construction

The common point between the two forms of production of the wood-based sector in Brazil, one practically manufacturing and the other high technology, is in the qualification of the of the labor. In both cases, the professionals are being formed directly in the productive line and rarely with qualification in the academic area. There is not a public political education for the qualification of the labor, and the work market that does not demand qualified professionals, contributes for the sector stagnation. So, in order to excel the socio-cultural barriers in relation to the use of wood in the buildings, new attitudes are necessary in the teaching of the contents of the curricular programs, mainly, in formation of the architect and civil engineering.
