Amounts of litter fall in some pine forests in a European transect, in particular Scots pine.

Pine litter fall data, mainly needle litter, were available for 64 plots in a transect from the Arctic Circle in Fennoscandia (41 plots) to southern Spain (22 further plots in continental Europe) and one in the American Midwest). Data originated from a total of eight pine species. Regressions were calculated mainly for needle litter fall and to some extent for total litter fall. We obtained a highly significant linear relationship for needle litter fall and latitude (R 2adj = 0.285; n = 58; P < 0.001) when using needle litter fall data from all pine species. Combining sites in the boreal and Atlantic climates gave an R2 adj of 0.732 with n = 45 (P < 0.001). A multiple linear relationship using stand age, latitude and basal area was highly significant and gave an R2adj value of 0.412 (n = 54; P < 0.001). For the amount of Scots pine needle litter in Fennoscandia, the best simple linear relationships were obtained with site index (H 100) (R2 adj = 0.349), latitude (R2adj = 0.331) and basal area (R2adj = 0.324) as predictor variables, whereas the regressions on altitude and stand age were significant only with P < 0.01. An X2 function for stand age improved the relationship with age to R2adj = 0.243. Multiple regression relationships for Fennoscandia between needle litter fall and latitude plus basal area and that to latitude plus basal area plus age were highly significant (R2adj = 0.605 and 0.661, respectively, with n = 41). In a stepwise procedure using data from the same sites, combinations of the factors latitude, site index, basal area and stand age could explain as much as 78 % of the needle litter fall. For total litter fall as measured by the same method as needle litter we related data from 32 sites to that of needle litter fall and obtained highly significant relationships indicating that needle litter fall may be used as an index for total litter fall. © 1999 Inra/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.Chute de litière dans quelques forêts de pins, en particulier du Pin sylvestre, le long d'un transect européen. Les données de chute de litière, essentiellement des chutes d'aiguilles, étaient disponibles pour 64 sites le long d'un transect depuis le cercle polaire en Scandinavie (41 sites) jusqu'au Sud de l'Espagne (22 sites supplémentaires en Europe continentale) et un site dans le midouest américain. Les données proviennent de huit espèces de Pin. Des régressions ont été calculées principalement pour la chute d'aiguilles et dans certains cas pour la chute totale de litière. Il existe une relation linéaire hautement significative entre la chute des aiguilles et la latitude (R2adj = 0.285 ; n = 58; p < 0,001) lorsque l'ensemble des données pour toutes les espèces sont utilisées. La combinaisons des sites en climat boréal et atlantique donne un R2adj de 0.732 pour n = 45 (p < 0,001). Une relation linéaire multiple, utilisant l'âge du peuplement, la latitude et la surface terrière est hautement significative et donne un R 2∼ de 0.412 (n = 54; p < 0.001). La meilleure relation linéaire, pour les retours d'aiguilles chez le Pin sylvestre en Scandinavie a été obtenue en utilisant comme variables prédictives l'indice de fertilité stationnelle « H 100 » (R2 adj = 0.349), la latitude (Radj = 0331), et la surface terrière (R2adj = 0.324 ; alors que la régression sur les variables altitudes et âge des peuplements n'était significative seulement à p < 0,01. Une fonction X2 pour l'âge du peuplement améliore la relation avec l'âge, R2adj = 0,243. Les relations multiples entre la chute des aiguilles et la latitude associée à la surface terrière et celle associée à la surface terrière plus l'âge, pour les sites Scandinaves, sont hautement significatives (R2 adj = 0,605 et R2adj = 0,661, respectivement, avec n = 41 ). La procédure de régression progressive sur les données des mêmes sites, combinaisons des variables latitude, indice de fertilité, surface terrière et âge du peuplement permet d'expliquer 78 % de la variation de la chute des aiguilles. Des relations hautement significatives ont été calculées sur les données des retours totaux de litière, utilisant la même méthodologie sur 32 des sites. Elles démontrent que la quantité des chutes des seules aiguilles peut être utilisée comme indice pour la chute totale de la litière. © 1999 Inra/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS

Assessment of cervical cancer screening and its periodicity in a city of Santa Catarina state

Modelo do estudo: Estudo de Prevalência. Objetivo do estudo: Conhecer a prevalência dos resultados alterados dos exames preventivos para câncer do colo do útero e a sua regularidade na coleta. Metodologia: Estudo observacional, transversal e retrospectivo. Foram estudadas 3.425 mulheres usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde e 9.436 exames citopatológicos de novembro de 2003 a janeiro de 2014. Resultados: A mediana da idade foi de 35 anos (25,0 - 46,0, percentil 25 a 75%). No primeiro exame citopatológico, 2,7% das mulheres apresentaram alterações em células epiteliais. As Células escamosas atípicas de significado incerto (ASC-US) (n=54; 1,7%) e as lesões intra-epiteliais de baixo grau (LIEBG) (n=24; 0,7%) foram as mais frequentes. Ao longo do período observado houveram 87 novas alterações citopatológicas, totalizando 173 exames alterados em 9.436 analisados. Quanto a regularidade, 58,5% pacientes repetiram a segunda coleta. Conclusões: Houve um perfil predominante de mulheres jovens, sendo o diagnóstico de ASC-US o mais frequente. A flora bacteriana mais frequente foi Lactobacillus principalmente em mulheres jovensStudy Model: Prevalence Study. Study objective: To determine the prevalence of the abnormal cervical cancer screening test (PAP) and regularity in repeat it. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional and retrospective study. 3,425 women, users of the Brazilian Unified Health System, and 9,436 cytopathology, conducted from November 2003 to January 2014, were studied. Results: The median age was 35 years (25.0 to 46.0, 25 to 75% percentile). In the first PAP, 2.7% of women examined had alterations in epithelial cells. The atypical squamous cells of uncertain significance (ASC-US) (n = 54; 1.7%), and low-grade intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) (n = 24; 0.7%) were the most frequent alterations found. During the observed period, 87 new abnormal PAPs were found, totalling 173 altered tests in 9436 analysed. Regarding regularity of test, 58.5% patients repeated the second PAP. Conclusions: There was a preferential profile of young women, and the diagnosis of ASC-US was the most frequently found. Lactobacillus, especially in young women, was the main bacterial flor
