Production of tomato cultivated in different nutritive solutions

The objective this paper is determine the highest performance of fresh mass and number of fruits in tomato crops using different nutrient solution. An absolute hybrid with a semi-determined growth was used. It was grown in a protected environment using a fertigated substrate inside plastic bags containing ten liters of solution. The experiment was completely randomized with four levels of fertilization and five replications. Two experiments were carried out in two cultivation cycles (spring 2018 and autumn 2019) by performing an analysis of variance and Scott & Knott test and estimating the parameters of nonlinear logistic model and its critical points for both variables in each treatment. The mean fruit mass per plant was 3.70 kg for the spring experiment and 3.80 kg for the autumn experiment. The mean number of fruits per plant was 10.50 and 10.70 fruits for spring and autumn, respectively. There are significant differences between the treatments KO46, KO45 and KO56 compared to KO69 for fruit mass in the autumn experiment. For the other variables and cultivation cycles, the treatments did not show statistical differences. The logistic growth model fitted the weight and number of tomato fruits according to days after transplanting the seedlings and evidenced production cycle data, highlighting the main differences between the nutrient solutions. The nutritional solutions KO46, KO45 and KO56 are recommended for growing Gaúcho tomatoes in substrate. The nutrient solution KO56 has the best performance because it has a higher K availability, meets the balance of loads and antagonism between nutrients, provides equal response of means mass and number of fruits, and has a lower N:K ratio and balance of K over Ca and Mg, thus favoring fruit production, precocity, and development.The objective this paper is determine the highest performance of fresh mass and number of fruits in tomato crops using different nutrient solution.

Plano Diretor Participativo do Município de Petrolina e Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS): um diálogo necessário para o desenvolvimento territorial sustentável

This paper aims to analyze the Participatory Manager Plan of the Petrolina's Municipality as a local development policy, and its dialogue with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present in the 2030 Agenda with a view to achieving sustainable territorial development. Through a qualitative bibliographical study and document analysis, it was possible to understand and identify convergences of the themes of sustainable development and territorial development policies, as well as crossings of the SDGs and proposals of the analyzed Manager Plan. It was evidenced that, of the 17 (seventeen) objectives agreed upon in the 2030 Agenda, 13 (thirteen) are included in the drafting of the Master Plan, although, by the analysis of the Sustainable Development Index of Cities - Brazil (IDSC-BR), only 2 (two) were fully achieved. The study revealed that most SDGs are present in the Municipality management planning, but have not been effectively implemented at the municipal level. In this perspective, it will be necessary to deepen this dialogue between the Manager Plan of the Municipality and practical actions for the effective fulfillment of the SDGs with the participation of government, civil society and private initiative.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el Plan Gestor Participativo del Municipio de Petrolina como política de desarrollo local, y su diálogo con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) presentes en la Agenda 2030 con miras a lograr un desarrollo territorial sostenible. A través de un estudio bibliográfico cualitativo y análisis de documentos, fue posible comprender e identificar convergencias de los temas de desarrollo sostenible y políticas de desarrollo territorial, así como cruces de los ODS y propuestas del Plan Gerente analizado. Se evidenció que, de los 17 (diecisiete) objetivos acordados en la Agenda 2030, 13 (trece) se incluyen en la redacción del Plan Director, aunque, por el análisis del Índice de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Ciudades - Brasil (IDSC-BR), solo 2 (dos) se lograron en su totalidad. El estudio reveló que la mayoría de los ODS están presentes en la planificación de la gestión del Municipio, pero no se han implementado de manera efectiva a nivel municipal.

Cranial nerve cavernous malformations causing trigeminal neuralgia and chiasmal apoplexy: report of 2 cases and review of literature

Objective: To verify whether fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of cells from the buccal epithelium could be employed to detect cryptomosaicism with a 45,X lineage in 46,XY patients. Subjects and methods: Samples of nineteen 46,XY healthy young men and five patients with disorders of sex development (DSD), four 45,X/46,XY and one 46,XY were used. FISH analysis with X and Y specific probes on interphase nuclei from blood lymphocytes and buccal epithelium were analyzed to investigate the proportion of nuclei containing only the signal of the X chromosome. Results: The frequency of nuclei containing only the X signal in the two tissues of healthy men did not differ (p = 0.69). In all patients with DSD this frequency was significantly higher, and there was no difference between the two tissues (p = 0.38), either. Conclusions: Investigation of mosaicism with a 45,X cell line in patients with 46,XY DSD or sterility can be done by FISH directly using cells from the buccal epithelium.Objetivo: Verificar se a hibridização in situ por fluorescência (FISH) em células de mucosa oral poderia ser empregada para detectar criptomosaicismo com linhagem 45,X em pacientes 46,XY.

FISH com sondas específicas para X e Y em núcleos interfásicos de linfócitos e mucosa oral para investigar a proporção de núcleos contendo apenas o sinal do cromossomo X. Resultados: A frequência de núcleos contendo apenas o sinal do X nos dois tecidos dos homens saudáveis não diferiu (p = 0,69). Em todos os pacientes com DDS essa frequência foi significativamente maior, e também não houve diferença entre os dois tecidos (p = 0,38). Conclusões: A investigação de mosaicismo com linhagem 45,X em pacientes com DDS 46,XY ou esterilidade pode ser feita por FISH diretamente em células de mucosa oral

Analysis Of Adhesion And Self-Care In Patients Submitted To Lung Transplant In Outpatient Clinic Follow-Up

Introduction: The lung transplant is the only option of survival of the patient affected by a deadly lung disease. The outpatient clinic follow-up requires the patient discipline and responsibility in the face of complex care suggested by the multidisciplinary team.  Objectives: Meet aspects related to adhesion to treatment and self-care of patients submitted to the lung transplant, accompanied, in outpatients, in a referral hospital in Fortaleza-Ceará-Brazil. Methods: Exploratory research with qualitative approach, in a referral hospital in cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases in Fortaleza-Ceará, in the period September 2015 to January 2016. 10 patients transplanted lung were interviewed, after approval by the ethics committee of this institution. The Organization and analysis of the data was backed up on phenomenological and theoretical saturation used to meet the significant units. Results: It was noticed the strong bond established by patients and professionals of the team that accompanies them. That bond is characterized by a relationship of trust between patient and professional, stimulating attendance and adhesion of the transplanted in outpatient visits. Outpatient consultations in lung transplant marked commitment, the accuracy of both periodical transplanted as part of some professional multidisciplinary team. On the other hand, it was observed the lack of autonomy of some categories. Conclusion: The treatment is complex and requires a commitment of both transplanted and the professionals who make up the lung transplant team. There was the patient's commitment in to adhere to consultations and interest in following the guidance of care. Is necessary joint participation and integral of all categories, in order to promote multiple interventions and educational practices in the singular therapeutic plan of transplanted

Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from Southern Brazil

Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii has reached extremely high levels worldwide and class D OXA-type carbapenemases are the main associated mechanism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic and molecular profile of clinical carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAb) isolates from a southern Brazilian border region. A. baumannii species was identified by the presence of the blaOXA-51 gene and the susceptibility profile was determined by broth microdilution. The main carbapenemases were investigated by PCR and the typing of the CRAb isolates was performed by PFGE. During the study period, a total of 36 CRAb were recovered, 71.4% from respiratory tract samples from ICU patients. High level resistance to aminoglycosides and fluroquinolones were found in contrast to polymyxin B, for which all of CRAb were susceptible. The blaOXA-23 gene was present in 34 isolates and was the only one detected other than blaOXA-51. Molecular typing revealed the presence of four clonal strains, two of them endemic throughout the study period. To the best of our knowledge, our study brings the first data about resistance profile in Acinetobacter in the western border of south of Brazil and make aware of endemic clones of CRAb-producing-OXA-23 in this region of state, contributing for the construction of the national epidemiologic scenario of CRAb

Densidade populacional de Tibraca limbativentris em arroz irrigado por inundação e plantas hospedeiras alternativas

The objective of this work were to evaluate the population dynamics of the rice stem bug (Tibraca limbativentris) around and in flood irrigated rice cultivation area, to quantify the insect population flow between crops and host plants, and to determine the effect of the species, the diameter of the plant, and the distance of the host plant from the border on the rice stem bug population. The work was conducted in the 2012/2013 harvest and in the off-season, with sampling of rice, Andropogom bicornis, and Andropogon lateralis plants in six cultivated areas, in order to count the number of insects. The population density of the rice stem bug in irrigated rice and alternative host plants presents spatial and temporal dependence. In the cultivated areas, the population density of the rice stem bug increases according to the evolution of the rice phenological stages, with the highest densities concentrated in regions close to the crop borders. The diameter and species of the host plant affect the rice stem bug population. Andropogon bicornis plants have higher population densities than A. lateralis, and plants with larger diameters show higher population densities of the rice stem bug. In the off-season, the greatest population of the rice stem bug on host plants is concentrated up to 45 m from the crop border, but it can disperse until 150 m. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a dinâmica populacional do percevejo-do-colmo (Tibraca limbativentris) no entorno e na área de cultivo de arroz irrigado por inundação, quantificar o fluxo populacional do percevejo entre lavouras e plantas hospedeiras, e determinar a influência da espécie, do diâmetro da planta e da distância da planta hospedeira da bordadura sobre a população do percevejo-do-colmo. O trabalho foi conduzido na safra 2012/2013 e na entressafra, com amostragem de plantas de arroz, Andropogom bicornis e A. lateralis em seis áreas de cultivo, para a contagem do número de insetos. A densidade populacional do percevejo-do-colmo em arroz irrigado e plantas hospedeiras alternativas apresenta dependência espacial e temporal. Nas áreas de cultivo, a densidade populacional do percevejo-do-colmo aumenta de acordo com a evolução dos estádios fenológicos do arroz, com as maiores densidades concentradas em regiões próximas às suas bordaduras. O diâmetro e a espécie da planta hospedeira influenciam a população do percevejo-do-colmo. Andropogon bicornis apresenta maiores densidades populacionais que A. lateralis e plantas com maiores diâmetros apresentam maiores densidades populacionais do percevejo-do-colmo. Durante a entressafra, a maior população do inseto em plantas hospedeiras se concentra até 45 m da bordadura, mas é capaz de se dispersar até 150 m

Agronomic performance of organic lettuce crop influenced by shading, planting times, and tillage, in the state of Acre, Brazil

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho agronômico do cultivo de alface orgânica sob diferentes níveis de sombreamento, épocas de plantio e preparo do solo, no Acre. Para cada cultivar de alface avaliada, lisa (Baba de Verão) e crespa (Vera), foram instalados quatro experimentos em ambientes com níveis distintos de sombreamento (casa de vegetação, 35%; tela, 50%; latada de maracujazeiro, 52%; e a pleno sol), em duas épocas de plantio (estiagem e chuvosa). Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com três métodos de preparo do solo (plantio direto, cultivo mínimo e preparo convencional) e quatro repetições. O cultivo em casa de vegetação proporciona maior massa de matéria fresca e produtividade de alface 'Vera', e desempenho similar ao observado sob tela de sombreamento, com preparo mínimo do solo, para as duas épocas de plantio avaliadas. O cultivo a pleno sol, em plantio direto, proporciona maior massa de matéria fresca e produtividade de alface 'Vera', para o período de estiagem. A massa de matéria seca da parte aérea das cultivares Baba de Verão e Vera é maior em cultivo em casa de vegetação, seguida do cultivo sob tela de sombreamento.The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic performance of organic lettuce crop, under different levels of shading, planting times, and tillage, in the state of Acre, Brazil. For each lettuce cultivar evaluated, smooth (Baba de Verão) and curly (Vera), four experiments were established in environments with different levels of shading (greenhouse, 35%; screen, 50%; passion fruit trellis, 52%; and in full sun), in two growing seasons (dry and rainy). A randomized complete block design was used, with three tillage methods (no‑tillage, minimum tillage, and conventional tillage) and four replicates. Cultivation in greenhouse provides higher fresh matter mass and yield of 'Vera' lettuce, and similar performance to that observed under screen shade with minimum soil tillage, for both planting dates evaluated. Cultivation in full sun, under no‑tillage, provides higher fresh matter mass and yield of 'Vera' lettuce during the dry season. Shoot dry matter mass of the Baba de Verão and Vera cultivars is higher in cultivation in greenhouse, followed by cultivation under screen shade

To verify whether fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of cells from the buccal epithelium could be employed to detect cryptomosaicism with a 45,X lineage in 46,XY patients. Samples of nineteen 46,XY healthy young men and five patients with disorders of sex development (DSD), four 45,X/46,XY and one 46,XY were used. FISH analysis with X and Y specific probes on interphase nuclei from blood lymphocytes and buccal epithelium were analyzed to investigate the proportion of nuclei containing only the signal of the X chromosome. The frequency of nuclei containing only the X signal in the two tissues of healthy men did not differ (p = 0.69). In all patients with DSD this frequency was significantly higher, and there was no difference between the two tissues (p = 0.38), either. Investigation of mosaicism with a 45,X cell line in patients with 46,XY DSD or sterility can be done by FISH directly using cells from the buccal epithelium.58328-3
