Alien spiders: First record of Loxosceles gaucho Gertsch, 1967 (Araneae: Sicariidae) in the Amazon region, Brazil

We present the first record for Loxosceles gaucho Gertsch, 1967 in the Amazonian region of Brazil. Four males, fifteen females and forty-nine immatures were collected in different places in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. This is the third species of Loxosceles reported in the Amazon region along with L. amazonica Gertsch, 1967, and L. similis Moenkhaus, 1898. This is the first record of an invasive species of a venomous animal in the state of Amazonas, Brazil, which is noteworthy due to its synanthropic habit, which increases the risk to the local population

VIOLENCE AGAINST ELDERLY WOMEN

Objective: To analyze the understanding of older women about violence in this age group.Method: Qualitative research carried out between November 2021 and January 2022 with 40 women over 60 years old, attended in the Primary Health Care Network, in a medium-sized municipality in the interior of the state of São Paulo - Brazil. The data obtained were analyzed in the light of Hermeneutics-Dialectics.Results: Five analytical categories were identified: 1. Understanding of violence against the elderly woman; 2. Factors that trigger violence against the elderly woman; 3. Suggestions for actions to prevent violence against the elderly woman; 4. Resources that older women who are victims of violence can access; 5. Nonconformity with violence against the elderly woman.Final Considerations: In the light of Hermeneutics-Dialectics, a series of perceived violence against the elderly woman in society was evidenced, with emphasis on physical, disrespect and financial abuse

Resistência ao cancro-da-haste, à cercosporiose e ao oídio de linhagens de soja sem lipoxigenases nas sementes

The soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] crop holds a prominent position in the Brazilian economy because of the extension of the planted area and volume of grain production, but the beany flavor has been a limiting factor for soybean derivatives consumption by western population. This flavor is produced mainly by action of lipoxygenase enzymes (Lox1, Lox2 and Lox3), present in some commercial varieties. The genetic elimination of the alleles that codify these enzymes is the most appropriate way to avoid problems associated to this deleterious flavor. To elucidate the effect of seed lipoxygenase elimination on the resistance to plant pathogens, normal varieties of soybean (FT-Cristalina RCH, Doko RC and IAC-12) and their backcross-derived lines, both with the three lipoxygenases present in their seeds (triple-positive, TP) and without the three lipoxygenases (triple-null, TN), were tested for their resistance to stem canker (Diaporthe phaseolorum f.sp. meridionalis), frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora sojina Hara), and powdery mildew (Microsphaera diffusa Cke. & Pk.). All genetic materials studied were resistant to stem canker. FT-Cristalina RCH and Doko-RC and their TP and TN lines were resistant to frogeye leaf spot. IAC-12 and its derived lines not only presented a higher disease index, but also the derived lines, TP and TN, were more susceptible, indicating the loss of genes for disease resistance in the backcrosses. There was no association between the elimination of lipoxygenases from the seeds with the resistance to frogeye leaf spot. In relation to the powdery mildew, TP or TN lines presented similar or higher resistance than their respective recurrent parents whose susceptibility appeared in the following order: IAC-12, less susceptible, Doko-RC, intermediate and FT-Cristalina RCH, more susceptible.A cultura da soja [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] ocupa lugar de destaque na economia brasileira, tanto em termos de área plantada, quanto de produção de grãos. A presença de gosto de feijão cru tem sido limitante para o consumo de derivados de soja pelos povos ocidentais. Esse sabor característico é proporcionado pelas enzimas lipoxigenases (Lox1, Lox2 e Lox3). A eliminação dessas enzimas, pela manipulação genética dos alelos que as codificam, é a maneira mais adequada de contornar os problemas associados ao sabor desagradável. Visando elucidar a participação das lipoxigenases, no processo de resistência da soja a patógenos, variedades normais de soja (FT-Cristalina RCH, Doko RC e IAC-12) e suas respectivas linhagens obtidas por retrocruzamentos, sem as três lipoxigenases nas sementes (triplo-nulas - TN) e com as três lipoxigenases (triplo-positivas - TP), foram testadas quanto às suas resistências ao cancro-da-haste (Diaporthe phaseolorum f.sp. meridionalis), à cercosporiose (Cercospora sojina Hara) e ao oídio (Microsphaera diffusa Cke. & Pk.). Todos os materiais genéticos foram resistentes ao cancro-da-haste. Com relação à cercosporiose, FT-Cristalina RCH e Doko-RC e suas respectivas linhagens com ou sem lipoxigenases mostraram-se resistentes, enquanto IAC-12 e suas linhagens derivadas mostraram índices de doença mais elevados, sendo que as linhagens IAC-12 TP e TN foram mais suscetíveis, indicando perda de gene de resistência nos retrocruzamentos. Não houve relação entre retirada dos genes que codificam lipoxigenases nas sementes com a resistência à cercosporiose. No caso do oídio, as linhagens TP ou TN apresentaram-se similares ou pouco mais resistentes que seus respectivos progenitores recorrentes, os quais se mostraram suscetíveis na seguinte ordem: IAC-12, menos suscetível, Doko-RC, intermediário e FT-Cristalina RCH, mais suscetível

Effects of Resistance Exercise on Endothelial Progenitor Cell Mobilization in Women

This study aimed to determine the effect of a single bout of resistance exercise at different intensities on the mobilization of circulating EPCs over 24 hours in women. In addition, the angiogenic factors stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) and erythropoietin (EPO) were measured as potential mechanisms for exercise-induced EPCs mobilization. Thirty-eight women performed a resistance exercise session at an intensity of 60% (n = 13), 70% (n = 12) or 80% (n = 13) of one repetition maximum. Each session was comprised of three sets of 12 repetitions of four exercises: bench press, dumbbell curl, dumbbell squat, and standing dumbbell upright row. Blood was sampled at baseline and immediately, 6 hours, and 24 hours post-exercise. Circulating EPC and levels of VEGF, HIF-1α and EPO were significantly higher after exercise (P \u3c 0.05). The change in EPCs from baseline was greatest in the 80% group (P \u3c 0.05), reaching the highest at 6 hours post-exercise. The change in EPCs from baseline to 6 hours post-exercise was correlated with the change in VEGF (r = 0.492, P = 0.002) and HIF-1α (r = 0.388, P = 0.016). In general, a dose-response relationship was observed, with the highest exercise intensities promoting the highest increases in EPCs and angiogenic factors

A theoretical relationship between registers of semiotic representation theory and Ethnomatematics: in the context of artisanal fishing practice

O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir do contexto da pesca artesanal praticada no município de Vigia de Nazaré – PA. A intervenção procedeu-se com alunos egressos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, com objetivo de contextualizar o estudo de proporção às práticas laborais da pesca por meio da conjunção de ideias da Etnomatemática, no sentido da Etnocomunidade e da Teoria dos Registros de Representação Semiótica - TRRS. A pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa do tipo etnográfica apresenta como instrumento de produção de dados os registros escritos produzidos pelos alunos durante a realização das tarefas que foram concebidas e, posteriormente suas resoluções analisadas fundamentadas pela conjunção entre os campos teóricos adotados. Os resultados obtidos permitiram-nos concluir que as atividades realizadas propiciaram a aprendizagem de conhecimentos relacionados à noção de proporção e revelou indícios de desenvolvimento na capacidade dos alunos em perceber aspectos socioculturais e econômicos de sua realidade. A articulação e o diálogo entre os aportes teóricos comportaram uma síntese indicadora do contexto sociocultural e político institucional nas práticas de pesca, podendo com isso, evidenciar a relação entre práticas sociais e o saber matemático de um grupo cultural específico, aqui entendido como Etnocomunidades.The study was developed based on the context of artisanal fishing practiced in the municipality of Vigia de Nazaré - PA. The intervention took place with students who have graduated from the 9th grade of elementary school, with the objective of contextualizing the study of proportion to the labor practices of fishing from the conjunction of ideas of ethnomathematics, in the sense of Ethnocommunity and the Registers of Semiotic Representation Theory. The research of qualitative approach of the ethnographic type, presents as data production instrument, the written records produced by the students during the accomplishment of the tasks that were conceived and later their resolutions analyzed founded by the conjunction between the adopted theoretical fields. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that the activities carried out enabled the learning of knowledge related to the notion of proportion and revealed signs of development in the students' ability to perceive socio-cultural and economic aspects of their reality. The articulation and dialogue between the theoretical contributions involved a synthesis that indicates the socio-cultural and political institutional context in fishing practices, thus making it possible to excel the relationship between social practices and the mathematical knowledge of a specific cultural group understood here as ethnocommunities

Influencia do calcio na tolerancia do milho ¨Saracura¨ BRS-4154 ao encharcamento do solo

The Saracura maize BRS – 4154 was introduced as an alternative for swamp land areas subjected to temporary flooding. Evidences are usually obtained with CaCl2 presence in flooding germination buffer which increases the tolerance of Saracura. However, such experiments were carried out in controlled conditions, during germination and initial development phases of seedlings. There have been no papers, so far, showing the influence of calcium during the maize development cultivated at field conditions. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate, during the vegetative and reproductive development of Saracura maize, the effect of different levels, sources and mode of calcium application in flooding conditions. For this purpose, this experiment conducted in field conditions. The following treatments were used: calcium sources and dosages (CaCl2 , 300.0 kg.ha-1 and gypsum, 500.0 and 1500.0 kg.ha-1) and ways of application (incorporated in the first 8.0 cm from surface, on the entire soil profile and on surface), in normal irrigation and under flooding conditions imposed at V6 growth stage throughout physiological maturity. A fully randomized block design with four replications was used, and the evaluations were accomplished at harvesting by analyzing traits related to growth and development, as well as yield and its components. Considering each environment it was not able to detect statistic differences among the variables, probably due the calcium content in soil which was sufficient for plant growth and development. However, when one compares characteristics between environments it was possible to detect higher effect from regular irrigation compared to flooding

Rescue of a non-viable accession and RAPD analysis of recovered plants of Arachis retusa

A regeneração in vitro de Arachis retusa foi avaliada visando à renovação e conservação de germoplasma. A estabilidade genética de plantas derivadas de eixos embrionários e segmentos apicais foi avaliada por RAPD. Foram analisados dez oligonucleotídeos decâmeros arbitrários, dos quais cinco foram selecionados. Noventa regiões genômicas foram avaliadas, com uma média de 18 loci por clone. Todos os segmentos amplificados foram monomórficos. Estes resultados indicam que as plantas são geneticamente estáveis nas regiões genômicas examinadas e que ambos os processos são adequados para a conservação in vitro do germoplasma de Arachis.In vitro regeneration of Arachis retusa was examined for the purpose of germplasm renewal and conservation. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting was used to evaluate the genetic stability of plants derived from embryo axes and apical segments. Ten arbitrary decamer primers were screened and five of them were selected. Ninety genomic regions were evaluated, with an average of 18 loci per clone. All amplified segments were monomorphic. The results indicate that recovered plants are genetically stable at the assessed genomic regions and that both regeneration processes are suitable for in vitro germplasm preservation of Arachis species
