Agrifood markets of the Vale do Jaguari (RS): the case of fruits, vegetables and viridity (fvv)

A abertura comercial intensificada a partir da década de 1990, condicionou a internacionalização dos mercados. Por outro lado, as políticas públicas de compras institucionais de alimentos crescem, sobretudo após 2000, e juntamente com as novas demandas vem reconfigurando territórios e colocando em evidência teórico-prática os mercados. O artigo analisa os mercados de hortigranjeiros acessados por agricultores da região do Vale do Jaguari (RS), bem como as especificidades dos atores envolvidos, das unidades de produção e dos canais de comercialização presentes. Metodologicamente, utilizou-se o enfoque qualitativo e quantitativo, com aplicação de questionários junto a 179 fruticultores e 135 olericultores, além da análise de dados secundários. Dentre alguns resultados encontrados, destaca-se o envelhecimento da população rural, sendo a média de idade dos responsáveis pela produção de FLV de 52 anos. Soma-se a isso, o esvaziamento das propriedades, sendo que essas possuíam, em média, 3,2 residentes por propriedade. Quanto às especificidades dos mercados acessados pelos agricultores, constatou-se que as feiras são os principais acessados. Por fim, conclui-se que mesmo diante da competição dos atuais mercados agroalimentares, os mercados de proximidade predominam frente aos demais no Vale do Jaguari, seguido dos mercados locais e territoriais para as hortaliças e dos convencionais para as frutas.The commercial opening, intensified after the 1990s, conditioned the internationalization of the markets. On the other hand, public policies for institutional food purchases have grown mainly after 2000, and toguether with the new demands, comes reconfiguring territories and placing theoretical and practical evidence on markets. The article analyzes the horticultural markets accessed by farmers in the Jaguari Valley region, as well as the specificities of the actors involved, the production units and the commercialization channels present. Methodologically, the qualitative and quantitative approach was applied, with questionnaires applied to 179 fruit growers, 135 farmers, in addition to the analysis of secondary data. Among the results found, the aging of the rural population stands out, being the average age of those responsible for the production of FLV of 52 years. In addition to this, the emptying of properties, which had, on average, 3.2 residents per property. As for the specific features of the markets accessed by farmers, it has been found that fairs are the main markets accessed by them, both for fruits and for vegetables. Finally, it is concluded that even in the face of the competition of the current agrifood markets, the proximity markets predominate in comparison with the others in the Jaguari Valley, followed by the local and territorial markets for vegetables and the conventional ones for fruits.Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestale

Diving into the vertical dimension of elasmobranch movement ecology

Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date, comparative studies among species at global scales have mostly focused on horizontal movements. Our study addresses the knowledge gap of vertical movements by compiling the first global synthesis of vertical habitat use by elasmobranchs from data obtained by deployment of 989 biotelemetry tags on 38 elasmobranch species. Elasmobranchs displayed high intra- and interspecific variability in vertical movement patterns. Substantial vertical overlap was observed for many epipelagic elasmobranchs, indicating an increased likelihood to display spatial overlap, biologically interact, and share similar risk to anthropogenic threats that vary on a vertical gradient. We highlight the critical next steps toward incorporating vertical movement into global management and monitoring strategies for elasmobranchs, emphasizing the need to address geographic and taxonomic biases in deployments and to concurrently consider both horizontal and vertical movements

Cytopathologic follow-up of women with cervical cancer post-radiotherapy: case series

<div><p>ABSTRACT Cytopathology, in addition to its role in cervical cancer screening programs, is also an important tool for controlling the efficacy of treatment in women with cervical cancer by monitoring and early detecting residual, recurrent neoplasms or benign reactive changes. In this study, we report eight cases of cytopathologic follow-up of women with cervical cancer post-radiotherapy, assisted by a Center of Oncology in Pernambuco. The main cytological findings post-treatment were described,as well as the histopathological characteristics at diagnosis and the treatments performed.</p></div
