PARCHMENT PRESENCE AND TREATMENT WITH VITAMINS ON THE EMERGENCE OF COFFEE SEEDLINGS

The seedling production of is a stage of great importance for several crops. The seeds of the coffee tree present germination difficulties due to the physical barrier imposed by the parchment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of parchment presence and pre-sowing treatment with vitamins on the emergence of coffee seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 2x4 factorial design (parchment presence x types of vitamins), in four replicates with 15 seeds per plot. Vitamins concentration was 100 mg l-1 of thiamine, 100 mg l-1 niacin, 50 mg l-1 thiamine + 50 mg l-1 niacin and a control treatment. The evaluations were performed weekly, with the emerged seedlings being counted until the 76th day after sowing. The emergence percentage was obtained after the 146th day after sowing, counting the number of normal seedlings obtained. The parchment removal increases the speed and the emergence percentage of the coffee seedlings. The treatment with vitamin did not influenced the emergence characteristics of the coffee tree

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Percepção de secretários municipais de saúde sobre as Práticas Integrativas e Complementares

INTRODUÇÃO: Entre objetivos da Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares está o de estimular as ações referentes ao controle/participação social, promovendo o envolvimento responsável e continuado dos usuários, gestores e trabalhadores nas diferentes instâncias. MÉTODO: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, realizada com 22 secretários de saúde em municípios da Bahia. A coleta de dados aconteceu entre os meses de maio e novembro de 2018 nos municípios e nas reuniões da Comissão Intergestores Regional. As entrevistas foram coletadas por meio de roteiro semiestruturado, gravadas,transcritas e analisadas através da análise de conteúdo temática. O Projeto de pesquisa foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa sob o parecer nº CAAE: 79083817.0.0000.0055. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Todos os secretários conhecem algumas PIC e 12 deles já as utilizaram enquanto recurso terapêutico. Entre as PIC utilizadas por eles destacam-se: as plantas medicinais (8), a auriculoterapia e a homeopatia (4), a acupuntura (3), a yoga (2), e as PIC constelação familiar, cromoterapia, musicoterapia,quiropraxia, reiki e terapia de florais foram citadas cada uma por apenas 1 secretário. Os secretários ainda citaram os benefícios obtidos pelo uso de algumas PIC ou por terem utilizado na sua prática profissional, a exemplo: da auriculoterapia, que contribuiu para o relaxamento, melhora na ansiedade e diminuição de algumas dores e do estresse; acupuntura eles citaram que houve o alívio para a hérnia de disco, efeito positivo para sequela de AVC em um familiar; Quiropraxia,tendo efeitos positivos para problemas de coluna; Musicoterapia como recurso eficaz para o relaxamento em trabalhos de parto. O estudo ainda identificou que apenas 7 secretários conhecem a Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares e os municípios não têm lei que regulamente tais PIC; obteve-se também que apenas 5 secretários estudaram as PIC na formação acadêmica. CONCLUSÕES: A falta de apoio financeiro além da falta de conhecimento especializado entre as autoridades de saúde pode dificultar a regulamentação das PIC nos diversos serviços do Sistema Único de Saúde. Desta maneira, há a necessidade de articulação e maior conhecimento das PIC entre os diversos atores, como os profissionais, usuários, instituições, gestores de saúde, comunidade a fim de garantir o fortalecimento das PIC enquanto recurso terapêutico potente para ações de promoção da saúde e reconhecimento dos saberes tradicionais e populares nos diversos modos de pensar a saúde e os variados modos de adoecimento
