Grade de agrotóxicos e agroquímicos da PIM: Produção Integrada de Maçã - Ciclo 2022/23.
A Grade de Agrotóxicos e Agroquímicos da Produção Integrada de Maçã (PIM) é um documento anual, elaborado desde 2003 pela Comissão Técnica da PIM (CTPim), para informar aos técnicos e produtores as características técnicas e os efeitos secundários dos agrotóxicos e agroquímicos registrados no Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (Mapa) para a cultura da macieira. É um instrumento básico para a certificação da PIM e de outras certificações usadas para a comercialização da fruta no mercado interno e externo. Na grade estão listados os agrotóxicos (fungicidas, inseticidas, acaricidas, feromônios, reguladores de crescimento) registrados no Mapa e demais agroquímicos (sanitizantes, desinfetantes e caldas) para uso na PIM em cada safra da cultura. Além disso, constam as limitações e restrições de uso para cada produto ou grupo listado.CGPE: 17730 Comissão Técnica da PIM (CTPim
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis
A multidisciplinary approach to identify priority areas for the monitoring of a vulnerable family of fishes in Spanish Marine National Parks
Background
Syngnathid fishes (Actinopterygii, Syngnathidae) are flagship species strongly associated with seaweed and seagrass habitats. Seahorses and pipefishes are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic and environmental disturbances, but most species are currently Data Deficient according to the IUCN (2019), requiring more biological and ecological research. This study provides the first insights into syngnathid populations in the two marine Spanish National Parks (PNIA—Atlantic- and PNAC—Mediterranean). Fishes were collected periodically, marked, morphologically identified, analysed for size, weight, sex and sexual maturity, and sampled for stable isotope and genetic identification. Due the scarcity of previous information, habitat characteristics were also assessed in PNIA.
Results
Syngnathid diversity and abundance were low, with two species identified in PNIA (Hippocampus guttulatus and Syngnathus acus) and four in PNAC (S. abaster, S. acus, S. typhle and Nerophis maculatus). Syngnathids from both National Parks (NP) differed isotopically, with much lower δ15N in PNAC than in PNIA. The dominant species were S. abaster in PNAC and S. acus in PNIA. Syngnathids preferred less exposed sites in macroalgal assemblages in PNIA and Cymodocea meadows in PNAC. The occurrence of very large specimens, the absence of small-medium sizes and the isotopic comparison with a nearby population suggest that the population of Syngnathus acus (the dominant syngnathid in PNIA) mainly comprised breeders that migrate seasonally. Mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence variants were detected for H. guttulatus, S. acus, and S. abaster, and a novel 16S rDNA haplotype was obtained in N. maculatus. Our data suggest the presence of a cryptic divergent mitochondrial lineage of Syngnathus abaster species in PNAC.
Conclusions
This is the first multidisciplinary approach to the study of syngnathids in Spanish marine NPs. Habitat preferences and population characteristics in both NPs differed. Further studies are needed to assess the occurrence of a species complex for S. abaster, discarding potential misidentifications of genus Syngnathus in PNAC, and evaluate migratory events in PNIA. We propose several preferential sites in both NPs for future monitoring of syngnathid populations and some recommendations for their conservation.Postprin
Scholarship on Gender and Sport in Sex Roles and Beyond
In this paper we critically review how research on girls or women and sport has developed over the last 35 years. We use a post-positivist lens to explore the content of the papers published in Sex Roles in the area of women, gender and sport and examine the shifts in how gender and sport have been conceptualized in these accounts. In order to initiate a broader dialogue about the scholarly analysis of gender and sport, we subsequently explore ideas inspired by feminist theorizing that have dominated/guided related research in other outlets over this time period but have received relatively little attention in papers published in Sex Roles. We conclude by briefly making suggestions for further research in this area
