Análise do Registro e Gestão de Marcas da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária

This article analyzed the process of registration and management of Embrapa's brands through a survey of the history of protection in Brazil and abroad, identifying the internal processes and criteria for carrying out such registrations. For this, a case study was carried out, with documental survey, identification and data search in the INPI database referring to trademarks linked to Embrapa's CNPJ from 1970 to May 2021. The results obtained showed that the Institution has been expanding the protection of its trademark assets, with 522 processes at the INPI, the majority of which are in force, with the tendency to protect them as trademarks in more than one class. In 2021, Embrapa updated its guiding document regarding the creation and management of brands, seeking greater organization of the internal process, as well as the promotion of this asset as a business instrument.Este artigo analisou o processo de registro e de gestão das marcas da Embrapa por meio do levantamento do histórico de proteção no Brasil e do exterior, identificando os processos e os critérios internos para efetivação de tais registros. Para isso, foram realizados um estudo de caso, com levantamento documental, entrevistas e busca de dados na base do INPI referentes às marcas ligadas ao CNPJ da Embrapa de 1970 até maio de 2021. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a Instituição vem ampliando a proteção dos seus ativos marcários, com 522 processos no INPI, sendo a maioria em vigor, possuindo ainda a tendência de resguardar as marcas em mais de uma classe. Em 2021, a Embrapa atualizou o seu documento orientador referente à criação e gestão de marcas, buscando uma maior organização do processo interno, bem como a promoção desse ativo como instrumento de negócio

Estabilização de fratura de rádio e ulna

Os cuidados sanitários e o tratamento de patologias em animais silvestres têm sido pauta de muitos estudos e ganhado bastante importância em pesquisas e inovações científicas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o tratamento cirúrgico de uma fratura completa de rádio e ulna de um tamanduá-bandeira, espécie esta ameaçada de extinção, atropelado numa rodovia próxima a matas que sofriam queimadas, no norte do estado de Mato Grosso/Brasil. O animal silvestre foi atendido pelo Serviço de Cirurgia veterinária do Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, apresentando inchaço na região de rádio e ulna esquerda e dificuldade na ambulação. Ao exame radiográfico, foram visualizadas fraturas completas fechadas de rádio e ulna no membro esquerdo, as quais foram tratadas através de uma osteossíntese de rádio, utilizando como método de estabilização fixador esquelético externo tipo II. Observou-se que apesar dessa espécie apresentar metabolismo baixo, isso não interferiu no processo cicatricial e foi constatada excelente consolidação óssea no tempo de 45 dias

Genome of Herbaspirillum seropedicae Strain SmR1, a Specialized Diazotrophic Endophyte of Tropical Grasses

The molecular mechanisms of plant recognition, colonization, and nutrient exchange between diazotrophic endophytes and plants are scarcely known. Herbaspirillum seropedicae is an endophytic bacterium capable of colonizing intercellular spaces of grasses such as rice and sugar cane. The genome of H. seropedicae strain SmR1 was sequenced and annotated by The Paraná State Genome Programme—GENOPAR. The genome is composed of a circular chromosome of 5,513,887 bp and contains a total of 4,804 genes. The genome sequence revealed that H. seropedicae is a highly versatile microorganism with capacity to metabolize a wide range of carbon and nitrogen sources and with possession of four distinct terminal oxidases. The genome contains a multitude of protein secretion systems, including type I, type II, type III, type V, and type VI secretion systems, and type IV pili, suggesting a high potential to interact with host plants. H. seropedicae is able to synthesize indole acetic acid as reflected by the four IAA biosynthetic pathways present. A gene coding for ACC deaminase, which may be involved in modulating the associated plant ethylene-signaling pathway, is also present. Genes for hemagglutinins/hemolysins/adhesins were found and may play a role in plant cell surface adhesion. These features may endow H. seropedicae with the ability to establish an endophytic life-style in a large number of plant species

Radiographic evaluation of the cardiac silluet using the VHS method (Vertebral Heart Size) in young and adults coatis (Nasua nasua, Linneaus 1766) living in captivity

Radiographic examination of the toracic cavity is an usefull noninvasive method for assessment, monitoring the progress of heart disease, suggesting prognosis and guiding the treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiac silhouette of young and adults coatis and evaluate its relationship to the number of thoracic vertebrae (VHS), the method proposed by Buchanam and Buchele (1995) for small animals. We evaluated a group of 20 coatis, divided by age: I (GI) and 8 animals aged between 4 and 5 months and group II (GII) with 12 animals over 12 months old. Based in chest radiographs and VD laterolateral right projections for determining the major axis (L) and short axis (Y) being the sum of L and S is the value obtained by ESR, the relative depth/width (D / L) chest were obtained and the results determined the type of conformation of the thorax, which results greater than 1.25 cm denote chest type deep, 0.75 to 1.25 cm chest intermediate and inferior results will 0.75cm wide chest. It was observed that the heart is alocated between the fourth and seventh pair of ribs, VHS average coatis healthy adults was 9.36 ± 0.75 and 8.06 ± 0 youth, 595 units thoracic vertebrae and the predominant conformation found was of intermediate type when compared to dogs. The mean values in this study serve as a basis for interpretation of the VHS type, however, a larger number may be required animals to determine the physiological limits of the cardiac silhouette in coati

Primary Health Care Follow-Up Visits: Investigation Of Care Continuity Of Preterm Newborns From A Kangaroo-Mother Care Unit

INTRODUCTION: The kangaroo-mother care method is an approach adopted in Brazil as a public police, which has helped in the reduction of neonatal mortality rate. Premature birth and its vulnerabilities can trigger, especially in mothers, feelings of fear and insecurity related to taking care of newborns. OBJECTIVE: Investigate care continuity of preterm newborns from a kangaroo-mother care method unit in primary health care facilities. METHODS: It was a transversal study performed with 43 mothers of preterm newborns who were hospitalized in the rooming-in care unit of a kangaroo-mother care method unit of a Brazilian public maternity school. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire, which was used to interview mothers between September 2015 and February 2016. RESULTS: It was found a relationship between sociodemographic status and risk of premature birth, and the following variables: age, education, marital status, and family income. Regarding findings from the follow-up home visits in primary health care, most of the participants were still breastfeeding and using the kangaroo position. However, 60.5% of the interviewed mothers reported not receiving home visits from health professionals of primary health care facilities. CONCLUSION: It is essential the support of health professionals and the participation of mothers and families to improve, through health education, quality of life promotion for newborns from kangaroo care approach

Molecular mechanisms probably involved in plant colonization and plant growth promotion identified in the <i>H. seropedicae</i> SmR1 genome.

<p>Plant signals can modulate the expression of bacterial genes coding for adhesins, type IV <i>pili</i> and enzymes of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis, triggering bacterial attachment to root surfaces. The molecular communication involves bacterial protein secretion and phytohormones to stimulate plant growth and modulate plant defense response. In addition, modulation of plant ethylene levels by ACC deaminase may contribute to plant growth promotion. The success of the endophytic association depends on a compatible genetic background that leads to benefits for both organisms.</p
