Progressão da floração e antese de Allium cepa L. (Alliaceae) em Candiota, RS, Brasil

A necessidade de polinização por insetos depende da morfologia da flor, do grau de autofertilidade e do arranjo das flores. A progressão da floração de Allium cepa L., foi avaliada com base na freqüência de visitas por Apis mellifera L., das fases da antese e da viabilidade do pólen. A floração na cultivar Crioula (56 dias) foi mais longa que em Bola Precoce (50 dias). A duração do pico da floração foi semelhante nas duas cultivares, respectivamente 15 e 17 dias. A correlação entre a freqüência de visitas por A. mellifera e o número de umbelas com flores abertas foi alta em Crioula e média em Bola Precoce. A antese foi de 7 e 8 dias, respectivamente, nas duas cultivares. Diferentemente de outras observações, foi verificada protandria incompleta em ambas cultivares. Os estigmas estavam receptivos quando os estiletes mediam 4-5,5 mm de comprimento. O percentual médio de viabilidade do pólen foi de 90,46 (Crioula) e 80,25 (Bola precoce).

Fenologia reprodutiva de espécies vegetais da Floresta Ombrófila Mista do Paraná, Brasil

A Floresta Ombrófila Mista (FOM) ou Floresta com Araucária, que ocorre em regiões de clima sazonal, com baixas temperaturas e ocorrência de geadas, cobria 40% do Estado do Paraná. Hoje, resta menos de 1% dessa formação florestal em estádio sucessional avançado e bem conservado. O presente trabalho apresenta os padrões fenológicos reprodutivos (floração e frutificação) das espécies, presentes em fragmentos de FOM localizados em três municípios paranaenses, visando subsidiar ações de restauração. Observações fenológicas mensais em 543 indivíduos de 145 espécies, representando diferentes formas de vida (71 árvores, 52 arbustos, 18 trepadeiras e quatro epífitas), foram realizadas entre janeiro de 2004 e dezembro de 2005, utilizando o índice de atividade. A floração ocorreu principalmente nos meses de setembro a dezembro, com pico em outubro e novembro (68 espécies), e a frutificação concentrou-se entre dezembro e abril, com pico de atividade em fevereiro (61 espécies). Nos meses mais frios (junho a agosto), o número de espécies que floresceram e frutificaram foi muito baixo, com menos de cinco espécies por fenofase. A presença de sementes (pinhões) de araucária (Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze) variou entre os anos, mas de modo geral ocorreu de abril a setembro. Foram encontradas correlações significativas entre as fenofases e algumas variáveis abióticas, principalmente o comprimento do dia e a temperatura. Portanto, as espécies vegetais da FOM mostram-se muito sazonais, com períodos com alta e baixa atividade, tanto para a floração como para a frutificação, reflexo da sazonalidade climática, muito pronunciada na região de estudo.

Innovation Ecosystem Perspectives on Financial Services Innovation

The context of financial services has been characterised by changes in the regulatory, technological and societal landscape. Consumers are increasingly interested in mobile payments, crowdfunding and microfinance services, either for themselves or because collaborative consumption is viewed as a more sustainable. Retail branches are re-organised to further meet the expectations of customers, start-ups focusing on technology for financial services (i.e. Fintech) are ever growing and financial services companies reinforce their own innovation practices (e.g. creation of innovation labs or venture capital investment funds). The innovation ecosystem around financial services companies represents the many actors with whom they can co-create and co-produce innovative new services for their customers (or for themselves). The innovation process is no longer a closed internal effort but needs to include external actors from the innovation ecosystem. This topic is especially interesting in a small and open economy where the financial centre takes a prominent place in the economy. The research question is therefore “How does the innovation ecosystem influence the innovation process within financial services companies?”. The influence of the innovation ecosystem on the innovation process within financial service companies mainly comes from its social capital and value creation efforts. However learning to work and exchange in an innovation ecosystem is also expected to influence the innovation process in place. Realizing the potential of the innovation ecosystem requires sufficient capabilities to manage new information coming from the innovation ecosystem. The professional associations provide the necessary coordination among actors in the innovation ecosystem to co-create and appropriate value, while fostering co-evolution within the innovation ecosystem.

Selective alterations of brain osmolytes in acute liver failure: protective effect of mild hypothermia.

The principal cause of mortality in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) is brain herniation resulting from intracranial hypertension caused by a progressive increase of brain water. In the present study, ex vivo high-resolution 1H-NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the effects of ALF, with or without superimposed hypothermia, on brain organic osmolyte concentrations in relation to the severity of encephalopathy and brain edema in rats with ALF due to hepatic devascularization. In normothermic ALF rats, glutamine concentrations in frontal cortex increased more than fourfold at precoma stages, i.e. prior to the onset of severe encephalopathy, but showed no further increase at coma stages. In parallel with glutamine accumulation, the brain organic osmolytes myo-inositol and taurine were significantly decreased in frontal cortex to 63\% and 67\% of control values, respectively, at precoma stages (p<0.01), and to 58\% and 67\%, respectively, at coma stages of encephalopathy (p<0.01). Hypothermia, which prevented brain edema and encephalopathy in ALF rats, significantly attenuated the depletion of myo-inositol and taurine. Brain glutamine concentrations, on the other hand, did not respond to hypothermia. These findings demonstrate that experimental ALF results in selective changes in brain organic osmolytes as a function of the degree of encephalopathy which are associated with brain edema, and provides a further rationale for the continued use of hypothermia in the management of this condition.

Effects of hypothermia on brain glucose metabolism in acute liver failure: a H/C-nuclear magnetic resonance study.

Mild hypothermia has a protective effect on brain edema and encephalopathy in both experimental and human acute liver failure. The goals of the present study were to examine the effects of mild hypothermia (35°C) on brain metabolic pathways using combined 1H and 13C-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a technique which allows the study not only of metabolite concentrations but also their de novo synthesis via cell-specific pathways in the brain. :1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy using [1-13C] glucose was performed on extracts of frontal cortex obtained from groups of rats with acute liver failure induced by hepatic devascularization whose body temperature was maintained either at 37°C (normothermic) or 35°C (hypothermic), and appropriate sham-operated controls. At coma stages of encephalopathy in the normothermic acute liver failure animals, glutamine concentrations in frontal cortex increased 3.5-fold compared to sham-operated controls (P < 0.001). Comparable increases of brain glutamine were observed in hypothermic animals despite the absence of severe encephalopathy (coma). Brain glutamate and aspartate concentrations were respectively decreased to 60.9% ± 7.7% and 42.2% ± 5.9% (P < 0.01) in normothermic animals with acute liver failure compared to control and were restored to normal values by mild hypothermia. Concentrations of lactate and alanine in frontal cortex were increased to 169.2% ± 15.6% and 267.3% ± 34.0% (P < 0.01) respectively in normothermic rats compared to controls. Furthermore, de novo synthesis of lactate and alanine increased to 446.5% ± 48.7% and 707.9% ± 65.7% (P < 0.001), of control respectively, resulting in increased fractional 13C-enrichments in these cytosolic metabolites. Again, these changes of lactate and alanine concentrations were prevented by mild hypothermia. Mild hypothermia (35°C) prevents the encephalopathy and brain edema resulting from hepatic devascularization, selectively normalizes lactate and alanine synthesis from glucose, and prevents the impairment of oxidative metabolism associated with this model of ALF, but has no significant effect on brain glutamine. These findings suggest that a deficit in brain glucose metabolism rather than glutamine accumulation is the major cause of the cerebral complications of acute liver failure.
