Efeitos de Rhizobium, molibdênio e cobalto sobre o feijoeiro comum cv. carioca

With the purpose of verifying the effects of Rhizobium phaseoli, molybdenum (Mo) and cobalt (Co) on yield and some traits of bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris L), cultivar Carioca, and also establishing optimal doses for the micronutrients tested, an experiment was undertaken in greenhouse, on soil under "cerrado", classified as Dystrophic Dark Red Latossol clayey texture, at Escola Superior de Agricultura de Lavras, in Lavras, MG, Brazil. The experiment design was that of randomized bloks in factorial scheme 42 x 2 with three replicates. The treatments were made up by combining of four levels of Mo (0, 7, 14 and 21 g/ha) and Co (0, 0,3, 0,6 and 0,9 g/ha) applied as a solution via seeds in the presence and absence of inoculants. The results showed that the applying of the inoculant and Mo exercised benefic influences, helping all the characteristics evaluated. The greatest grain yield was obtained when applying 14 and 0,6 g/ha of Mo and Co, respectively. Applying Co singly did not influence either the number of pods per plant or grains per pod of bean plantCom o objetivo de verificar os efeitos de Rhizobium phaseoli, molibdênio (Mo) e cobalto (Co) sobre o rendimento de algumas características do feijoeiro comum (Phaseolus vilgaris L.) cv. Carioca, bem como estabelecer doses ótimas para os micronutrientes testados, foi conduzido, na Escola Superior de Agricultura de Lavras, em Lavras, MG, um experimento em casa de vegetação, em solo de cerrado, classificado como Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro Distrófico, textura argilosa. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 42 x 2, com três repetições. Os tratamentos foram formados pela combinação de quatro níveis de Mo (0, 7, 14 e 21 g/ha) e Co (0, 0,3, 0,6, e 0,9 g/ha) aplicados na forma de solução via sementes, na presença e ausência de inoculante. As aplicações do inoculante e Mo exerceram influências benéficas em todas as características avaliadas. A maior produção de grãos por planta foi alcançada quando se aplicaram 14 e 0,6 g/ha de Mo e Co, respectivamente. A aplicação isolada do cobalto não influenciou o número de vagens por planta e grãos por vagem de feijoeir

Consórcio sorgo-soja. VII. Sistemas de corte no rendimento forrageiro das culturas consorciadas Sorghum and soybean intercropping. VII. Systems of cutting for increasing forage of intercropped sorghum-soybean

Com o objetivo de testar sistemas de corte na cultura de soja [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] e sorgo (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) em consórcio na entrelinha, visando à produção de forragem, foi realizado este experimento no campo experimental da Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA) - utilizando o solo classificado como Latossolo Roxo Distrófico de textura argilosa, fase cerrado. O delineamento experimental empregado foi o de blocos casualizados, com três repetições em esquema fatorial 5 x 2 x 2 + 2 + 2, constituído por 5 sistemas de corte, 2 cultivares de soja (CAC-1 e Conquista) e 2 híbridos de sorgo (AG 2002 e BR 601). No primeiro sistema, as plantas de sorgo e soja foram cortadas rente ao solo uma única vez no estádio farináceo do sorgo. No segundo, as plantas foram cortadas duas vezes, sendo o primeiro corte realizado a uma altura de 30 cm do colo da planta e o segundo após a rebrota, rente ao solo, ambos no estádio farináceo do sorgo. No terceiro sistema, os dois cortes foram realizados a uma altura de 30 cm do colo da planta, no estádio farináceo do sorgo. No quarto sistema, um corte foi realizado no estádio vegetativo da soja (V8-V12), a uma altura de 30 cm do colo da planta, e outro, após a rebrota no estádio R5, rente ao solo. No quinto sistema, o primeiro corte foi realizado no estádio vegetativo da soja (V8-V12), a uma altura de 30 cm do colo da planta, e o segundo, após a rebrota, no estádio farináceo do sorgo, rente ao solo. A utilização dos cortes obedecendo ao estádio farináceo do sorgo (sistema 3) proporcionou os maiores rendimentos de massa verde total, matéria seca total e proteína bruta total. Os sistemas 2 e 3 foram os mais eficientes para produção de matéria verde e matéria seca, quando analisaram-se as duas culturas juntas, e para o rendimento de proteína bruta, os melhores sistemas foram 1, 2 e 3. A associação do sorgo AG 2002 e CAC-1 apresentou os maiores rendimentos de massa verde total, matéria seca total e proteína bruta total.With the objective of testing the cutting systems of intercropped soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) on forage production , an experiment was carried out in a field at the Universidade Federal de Lavras - MG. The experiment was conducted on a Dusky Red Latosol of loamy texture. The experimental desing utilized was that of randomized blocks in factorial scheme 5 x 2 x 2 + 2 + 2 with three replications, constituted of 5 systems of cutting, 2 soybean cultivars (CAC-1 and Conquista) and 2 hybrids of sorghum (AG 2002 and BR 601). In the first system the sorghum and soybean plants were cut closed to the soil only one time, at the farinaceous stage of sorghum. In the second, the plants were cut twice, the first cut at the height of 30cm and the second, after regrowth, close to the soil, both being done at the farinaceous stage of sorghum. In the third system, the first two cuts were done at the plant height of 30 cm, at the farinaceous stage of sorghum. The fourth system was a cut done at the vegetative stage of the soybean (V8-V12), at the plant height of 30cm, and the other, after regrowth, was done close to the soil, at the R5 stage. In the fifth system, the first cut was done at the vegetative stage of soybean (V8-V12 ), at the plant height of 30 cm, and the second, after regrowth, was done at the farinaceous stage of the sorghum, close to the soil. The cuttings at the farinaceous stage of sorghum (system 3) provided greater total green mass, dry matter and total crude protein. The association of sorghum AG2002 and CAC-1 showed a great increase in the amount of total green mass, dry matter and total crude protein

Igreja Católica e mercados: a ambivalência entre a solidariedade e a competição

A Igreja Católica enfrenta, de forma ambígua, as vicissitudes dos mercados, o religioso e o econômico propriamente dito. Na década de 90, isso se tornou evidente por causa de dois movimentos opostos. De um lado, a Renovação Carismática - resposta católica à concorrência pentecostal no mercado religioso - fomentou o uso de técnicas de marketing e a projeção de padres cantores na grande mídia. De outro, a Teologia da Libertação, corrente politizada de esquerda que desencadeou, entre outras coisas, o engajamento em atividades associativas de produção econômica em um conjunto chamado economia solidária, apontado como resposta à "exclusão do mercado de trabalho" ou ao desemprego. O artigo contextualiza a relação do catolicismo com esses mercados na sociedade brasileira.<br>The Catholic Church faces in an ambiguous way the market's setbacks, the religious one and the economic itself. In the 1990s, it became obvious because of two opposites movements. On the one hand, the Charismatic Renewal, catholic reply to the Pentecostal (Pentecostal) competition at the religious market, has stimulated the use of marketing techniques and the projection of singer priests at the big media. On the other hand, the Liberation Theology, progressist tendency that has generated, among other things, the participation of militants in associatives economic enterprises, that belong to a set named solidary economy, which has been spread as a reply to "the labour market exclusion", that is, the unemployment. This article deals with the catholic relationship with those markets at the Brazilian society

Analisa o relatório de Arthur Neiva e Belisario Penna , focalizando a contribuição dos autores ao estudo de uma das doenças endêmicas por eles encontrada ao longo de todo o trajeto percorrido, de longa data conhecida popularmente por 'mal de engasgo'. Observaram e descreveram com minúcia os sintomas apresentados pelos doentes e a associação frequente do mal de engasgo com outro mal endêmico conhecido por 'vexame' ou 'vexame do coração', que consistia em crises de palpitações. Os estudos epidemiológicos e clínicos de Neiva e Penna sobre o mal de engasgo muito contribuíram para o conhecimento dessa afecção e representaram um incentivo para todos os pesquisadores que se dedicaram ao seu estudo, especialmente quanto a sua relação com a doença de Chagas.<br>Analyze the report by Neiva and Penna, focusing on the contribution these authors made to the study of one of the endemic diseases encountered throughout their journey, which had been long known under the popular name of mal de engasgo (choking disease). They recorded their observations and detailed descriptions of the patients' symptoms and the association frequently encountered between mal de engasgo and another endemic disease, known as vexame or vexame do coração, characterized by bouts of palpitations. Neiva and Penna's epidemiological and clinical observations of mal de engasgo were crucial for all the researchers interested in the disease, especially its relationship with Chagas disease

Health-related quality of life in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in the different geographical regions of Brazil : data from the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group

Background: In type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management, enhancing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is as important as good metabolic control and prevention of secondary complications. This study aims to evaluate possible regional differences in HRQoL, demographic features and clinical characteristics of patients with T1DM in Brazil, a country of continental proportions, as well as investigate which variables could influence the HRQoL of these individuals and contribute to these regional disparities. Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study performed by the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group (BrazDiab1SG), by analyzing EuroQol scores from 3005 participants with T1DM, in 28 public clinics, among all geographical regions of Brazil. Data on demography, economic status, chronic complications, glycemic control and lipid profile were also collected. Results: We have found that the North-Northeast region presents a higher index in the assessment of the overall health status (EQ-VAS) compared to the Southeast (74.6 ± 30 and 70.4 ± 19, respectively; p < 0.05). In addition, North- Northeast presented a lower frequency of self-reported anxiety-depression compared to all regions of the country (North-Northeast: 1.53 ± 0.6; Southeast: 1.65 ± 0.7; South: 1.72 ± 0.7; Midwest: 1.67 ± 0.7; p < 0.05). These findings could not be entirely explained by the HbA1c levels or the other variables examined. Conclusions: Our study points to the existence of additional factors not yet evaluated that could be determinant in the HRQoL of people with T1DM and contribute to these regional disparities
