Uso de resíduo da indústria sucroalcooleira para a produção de mudas de quiabo

The filter cake is a residue from the sugarcane processing industry and has shown excellent results for its use in fertilizing agricultural crops. The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and development of okra seedlings produced with different proportions of filter cake as a substrate. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions in a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and five replicates (5x5). The treatments consisted of five proportions for filling the tubes with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% filter cake. The filter cake was obtained in a sugar and alcohol industry near the municipality of Santa Helena de Goiás. Were evaluated plant height (PH), stem diameter (SD), number of leaves (NL), root length (RL), aerial fresh mass (AFM), fresh root mass (FRM), aerial dry mass (ADM) and the dry root mass (DRM). The data were submitted to analysis of variance by the F test (p <0.05) and in cases of significance, regression analysis was performed for the filter cake proportions, using the SISVAR statistical software. The fertilization with filter cake on okra seedlings was significant at the level of 5% probability for the RL and 1% probability for PH, SD, NL, AFM, FRM, ADM, DRM. The maximum PH, SC, NL, RL, AFM, ADM, DRM was obtained with the filter cake proportions of 55.83; 49.58; 35.55; 47.25; 50.17; 48.5; 58.5 and 45.00%. The use of residues from the sugar and alcohol industry can be used for fertilizing okra seedlings. It is recommended to use the ratio of 55% filter cake and 45% soil, in that dose the okra seedlings show the best growth and development.A torta de filtro é um resíduo da indústria de processamento da cana-de-açúcar e tem apresentado ótimos resultados para sua utilização na adubação de culturas agrícolas.

Evidences of HEV genotype 3 persistence and reactivity in liver parenchyma from experimentally infected cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis).

Hepatitis E virus genotype 3 (HEV-3) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen, responsible for sporadic cases of acute hepatitis E worldwide. Primate models have proven to be an essential tool for the study of HEV pathogenesis. Here we describe the outcomes of HEV infection in Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus) inoculated experimentally with genotype 3. Eight adult cynomolgus macaques were inoculated intravenously with HEV-3 viral particles isolated from swine and human samples. Liver, spleen, duodenum, gallbladder and bile were sequential assessed up to the end-point of this study, 67 days post-inoculation (dpi). Our previously published findings showed that biochemical parameters return gradually to baseline levels at 55 dpi, whereas anti-HEV IgM and HEV RNA become undetectable in the serum and feces of all animals, indicating a non-viremic phase of recovery. Nevertheless, at a later stage during convalescence (67 dpi), the presence of HEV-3 RNA and antigen persist in central organs, even after peripheral viral clearance. Our results show that two cynomolgus inoculated with swine HEV-3 (animals I3 and O1) presented persistence of HEV RNA low titers in liver, gallbladder and bile. At this same stage of infection, HEV antigen (HEV Ag) could be detected in all infected animals, predominantly in non-reactive Kupffer cells (CD68+iNOS-) and sinusoidal lining cells. Simultaneously, CD4+, CD3+CD4+, and CD3+CD8+ immune cells were identified in hepatic sinusoids and small inflammatory clusters of lobular mononuclear cells, at the end-point of this study. Inability of HEV clearance in humans can result in chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, with subsequent liver failure requiring transplantation. The results of our study support the persistence of HEV-3 during convalescence at 67 dpi, with active immune response in NHP. We alert to the inherent risk of viral transmission through liver transplantation, even in the absence of clinical and biochemical signs of acute infection. Thus, besides checking conventional serological markers of HEV infection, we strongly recommend HEV-3 RNA and antigen detection in liver explants as public health measure to prevent donor-recipient transmission and spread of hepatitis E

Avaliação da aprendizagem sobre saúde, em visita ao Museu da Vida An evaluation of health learning during a visit to the Museum of Life

Os museus oferecem atividades lúdicas e interativas, criando condições para a aprendizagem; compreendê-los nesse contexto, entretanto, é tarefa desafiadora. Qual a sua influência no processo da aprendizagem? Este artigo é fruto de pesquisa sobre as possíveis contribuições da visita a um museu de ciências, na formação de concepções sobre saúde de jovens visitantes. Apresenta resultados concernentes ao contexto do museu como ambiente favorável à aprendizagem e à captação de significados dos conteúdos explorados nas atividades realizadas. Explorar temas como a história da saúde, a relação entre saúde e ambiente, ciência como produção humana e o papel do cientista na sociedade também foi importante para a aprendizagem dos jovens.<br>Museums offer visitors both play and interactive activities that allow for learning. Yet it is challenging to understand learning in this context. How does it actually influence the learning process? This article stems from research on how a visit to a science museum may contribute to shaping the health concepts held by young people. The results identify the context of the museum as an environment favorable to meaningful learning and how meanings are grasped from the content explored during activities. Another important aspect of learning for these young people was the exploration of topics like the history of health, the relation between health and environment, science as a human product, and the role of the scientist within society

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.
