Novos arranjos institucionais para o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar: uma abordagem territorial.

O artigo contextualiza uma ação de articulação institucional voltada para o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar e para a institucionalização da identidade em três territórios rurais ? Sisal (BA), Nordeste Paraense (PA) e Grande dourados (MS) ? projetada para o período de 2006 a 2011 e apresenta os principais resultados da iniciativa, até então obtidos, bem como os respectivos impactos na dinâmica dos territórios atendidos

Humanistic psychotherapy research 1990-2015 : from methodological innovation to evidence-supported treatment outcomes and beyond

Over the past twenty five years, humanistic psychotherapy (HP) researchers have actively contributed to the development and implementation of innovative practice-informed research measures and coding systems. Qualitative and quantitative research findings, including meta-analyses, support the identification of HP approaches as evidence-based treatments for a variety of psychological conditions. Implications for future psychotherapy research, training and practice are discussed in terms of addressing the persistent disjunction between significant HP research productivity and relatively low support for HP approaches in university-based clinical training programs, funding agencies and government-supported clinical guidelines. Finally, specific recommendations are provided to further enhance and expand the impact of humanistic psychotherapy research for clinical training programs and the development of treatment guidelines

Observations on Armillaria occurrence in declining oak woods of southern Italy

The fungi of Armillaria genus have generally been recognized as being among the most important biotic causes of oak decline in the world. In order to assess which Armillaria species predominates on declining oaks in southern Italy, further surveys were carried out in numerous oak woods and additional Armillaria isolates were collected. Their identification was based on the characteristics of the diploid cultures obtained from infected roots and woody tissues, on haploid-haploid pairings with tester isolates and on the main features of the basidiomes. Most of the collected isolates were found to belong to A gallica, while A mellea and A tabescens were observed to occur less frequently. These observations conflict with previous surveys which considered A mellea as the most frequent Armillaria species in southern Italy. The fact that A gallica was found to be particularly widespread in the most seriously declining oak woods could confirm the opportunistic behaviour of Armillaria and suggest that it may depend on the remarkable weakness of the oak trees in very unfavourable site conditions.Observations sur la présence d'armillaire dans les chênaies dépérissantes du sud de l'Italie. Les champignons du genre Armillaria sont généralement considérés comme figurant parmi les plus importantes causes biotiques du dépérissement des chênes dans le monde. Dans le but d'établir l'importance relative des différentes espèces d'Armillaria dans les chênaies du sud de l'Italie, on a procédé à la récolte d'isolats de ces champignons dans de nombreuses chênaies (fig 1). L'identification des isolats a été basée : i) sur la morphologie des cultures diploïdes obtenues à partir des racines et des tissus ligneux infectés, ii) sur des confrontations entre haplontes faisant intervenir des testeurs d'espèces connues, iii) sur les caractéristiques morphologiques des carpophores. Les résultats ont montré l'appartenance à A gallica d'une forte majorité des isolats récoltés, la présence d'A mellea et A tabescens s'avérant moins fréquente (tableau I). Ces constatations sont en contradiction avec les observations antérieures selon lesquelles A mellea est l'espèce d'armillaire dominante dans le sud de l'Italie. La fréquence particulièrement élevée d'A gallica dans les chênaies où le dépérissement était le plus sérieux pourrait confirmer le comportement opportuniste de cette espèce et être mise en relation avec l'affaiblissement considérable des chênes sur certains sites où les conditions sont très défavorables

NMR spectroscopy: a powerful tool for detecting the conformational features of symmetrical persubstituted mixed b-cyclodextrins

The conformation in solution of exhaustively derivatized mixed cyclomaltooligosaccharides (cyclodextrins) has been defined by NMR spectroscopy. Both tilting of glucopyranose units about the glycosidic linkages and ring deviations from the 4C1 chair conformation are detected,the entities of which are strongly dependent on the nature of the derivatizing groups

Cross-speaker repetition and epistemic stance in Tzeltal, Yucatec, and Zapotec conversations

As a turn-design strategy, repeating another has been described for English as a fairly restricted way of constructing a response, which, through re-saying what another speaker just said, is exploitable for claiming epistemic primacy, and thus avoided when a second speaker has no direct experience. Conversations in Mesoamerican languages present a challenge to the generality of this claim. This paper examines the epistemics of dialogic repetition in video-recordings of conversations in three Indigenous languages of Mexico: Tzeltal and Yucatec Maya, both spoken in southeastern Mexico, and Lachixío Zapotec, spoken in Oaxaca. We develop a typology of repetition in different sequential environments. We show that while the functions of repeats in Mesoamerica overlap with the range of repeat functions described for English, there is an additional epistemic environment in the Mesoamerican routine of repeating for affirmation: a responding speaker can repeat to affirm something introduced by another speaker of which s/he has no prior knowledge. We argue that, while dialogic repetition is a universally available turn-design strategy that makes epistemics potentially relevant, cross-cultural comparison reveals that cultural preferences intervene such that, in Mesoamerican conversations, repetition co-constructs knowledge as collective process over which no individual participant has final authority or ownership
