NPK combinations mitigate the deleterious effects of salt stress on the morphophysiology of West Indian Cherry

Under salt stress, plant growth and development are negatively affected due to physiological changes,requiring strategies such as fertilization management to minimize these effects. In this scenario, this study aimedto evaluate the effect of combinations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on the growth, leaf waterstatus, electrolyte leakage, and gas exchange of West Indian Cherry grown under water stress in the secondyear of production. The experiment was conducted in a protected environment in Campina Grande - PB.The treatments were distributed in a randomized block design with a 2 × 10 factorial arrangement with threereplications corresponding to two electrical conductivity levels of irrigation water– ECw (0.6 and 4.0 dS m-1)and ten combinations of fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (80-100-100; 100-100-100; 120-100-100; 140-100-100; 100-80-100; 100-120-100; 100-140-100; 100-100-80; 100-100-120, and 100-100-140% of therecommendation in the second year of production). Irrigation with the ECw of 4.0 dS m-1 negatively affectedplant growth, the leaf water status, electrolyte leakage, and the leaf gas exchange of West Indian Cherry.However, the 40% increase (C4 -140-100-100% of the recommended N-P2O5-K2O level) in the nitrogen levelmitigated the deleterious effects of salt stress on the relative water content, internal CO2 concentration, and theCO2 assimilation rate of West Indian Cherry plants in the second year of production.Under salt stress, plant growth and development are negatively affected due to physiological changes,requiring strategies such as fertilization management to minimize these effects.

IMPACTO DO VÍRUS DA DIARREIA VIRAL BOVINA SOBRE A REPRODUÇÃO

The bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is one of the major pathogens of cattle with a major impact on the economy, it is a single stranded RNA of the family Flaviviridae of the genus Pestivirus, are small envelopes. This virus can infect several animals for being of the genus genus Pestivirus and can affect swine, sheep, other ruminants such as buffalo, where the bovine is more sensitive and is the focus of the present study. This is one of the most studied animals with this pathology. From an epidemiological point of view, animals carrying the virus should be discarded, and about 80% of these animals could be positive for the virus, which would cause a major economic impact if all were discarded. BVDV causes significant changes in animal reproduction and thus has a relevant impact on the economy. Hence, this review paper aims to discuss the main impacts that the BVDV causes on bovine reproduction. The bovine viral diarrhea virus is a major problem on farms, with very high reproductive impact given the possible embryonic losses and births of persistently infected calves, as well as causing significant damage to the dairy economy.O vírus da diarreia viral bovina (BVDV) e um dos principais patógenos de bovinos com um grande impacto sobre a economia, é um RNA fita simples da família Flaviviridae do gênero Pestivirus, são pequenos envelopados. Este vírus pode infectar diversos animais por serem do gênero Pestivirus e podem acometer suínos, ovinos, outros ruminantes como bubalinos, onde o bovino é mais sensível e é o foco do presente estudo, e este é um dos animais mais estudados com esta patologia. Do ponto de vista epidemiológico os animais portadores do vírus devem ser descartados, sendo que cerca de 80% destes animais podem ser positivos para o vírus, onde se teria um grande impacto da economia se todos fossem descartados. O BVDV causa alterações significativas sobre a reprodução animal e assim como consequência relevante impacto na economia. Desta forma, este trabalho de revisão se propõe a discutir sobre os principais impactos que o vírus da diarreia viral bovina (BVDV) causa sobre a reprodução bovina. O vírus da diarreia viral bovina é um grande problema nas fazendas, com impacto reprodutivo bastante elevado, tendo em vista as possíveis perdas embrionárias e nascimentos de bezerros persistentemente infectados, assim como também causa prejuízos significativos na economia leiteira

Litter flux in a successional forest ecosystem under nutrient manipulation in Eastern Amazon / Fluxo de serapilheira em um ecossistema florestal sucessional sob manipulação de nutrientes na Amazônia Oriental

The aim of this work was to evaluate the dynamics of Ca and Mg cations, via litter, in a successional forest ecosystem, on the middle plateau of the Apeú river, in Castanhal, northeast of Pará (1º19’ S, 47º57’ W). The magnitude of this phenomenon can be explained by the functional role of the floristic structure, with dominant species, Myrcia sylvatica (G. mey) DC., Myrcia bracteata (Rich) DC., Miconia ciliata (Rich) DC., Lacistema pubescens Mart., Lacistema aggregatum (Berg.) Rusby, Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Choisy, Cupania scrobiculata Rich. and Ocotea guianensis Aubl, which consisted in the determinant factors, associated to the natural hydroperiodic effect. The evaluation  of analytical results, in litter removal treatment, of the mean mass of Ca ranged from 0.018 to 0.076 g m-2month-1, while Mg varied from 0.006 to 0.028 g m-2month-1, being significantly (P<0.05) different from control in treatment and time. However, the flux distribution was influenced by the season, being higher in the dry period. The flux values of Ca (0.047 ± 0.015 g m-2month-1) were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those of Mg (0.015 ± 0.004 g m-2month-1), independently of the manipulation via treatment, phenomenon explained by the dynamics of Calcium in the biogeochemical cycle

As entidades de classe na história de 80 anos do nutricionista no Brasil : uma análise histórico-documental

Objetivo Realizar mapeamento da trajetória histórica das entidades de classe do nutricionista (associações científicas, conselhos e sindicatos profissionais) no Brasil. Métodos O estudo consiste em uma análise histórico-documental. Para obtenção dos dados, informações e documentos foram feitas visitas aos sítios eletrônicos do Conselho Federal de Nutricionistas; Associação Brasileira de Alimentação e Nutrição; Federação Nacional de Nutricionistas e Sindicatos de Nutricionistas. Realizou-se levantamento bibliográfico sistematizado nas bases Scientific Electronic Library Online e National Library of Medicine para capturar artigos científicos sobre a temática no Brasil ao longo dos 80 anos de sua história, com ênfase nos últimos dez anos. Resultados A análise histórica da Associação Brasileira de Alimentação e Nutrição, do Sistema Conselho Federal/Conselhos Regionais de Nutricionistas e da Federação Nacional de Nutricionistas/Sindicatos de Nutricionistas indica que, ao longo da trajetória de oitenta anos, houve fortalecimento das entidades de classe, com várias conquistas no arcabouço de regulamentação da formação, exercício profissional, campos de atuação e condições de trabalho. A reforma trabalhista, instituída em 2017, imprime redução de direitos relativos às condições de trabalho, acenando para retrocessos nas conquistas trabalhistas do nutricionista. Conclusão As entidades de classes do nutricionista têm desempenhado relevante papel no processo de valorização e legitimidade da formação e atuação da profissão no país. Há indícios da atuação unificada das entidades de classe, mas ainda incipientes e pontuais. Na atualidade, urge uma atuação unificada, transparente e comprometida destas entidades de classe em busca de valorização da profissão e melhorias das condições de trabalho do nutricionista brasileiro.Objective To carry out a mapping of the historical trajectory of the professional associations of nutritionists (scientific associations, councils and professional labor unions) in Brazil. Methods The study consists of a historical-documentary analysis. To obtain the data, information and documents, the websites of the Federal Council of Nutritionists; Brazilian Association of Food and Nutrition; National Federation of Nutritionists and Nutritionists’ Unions were browsed. A systematic bibliographic survey was carried out in the databases of the Scientific Electronic Library Online and National Library of Medicine to retrieve scientific articles about the associations of nutritionists in Brazil over the 80 years of their history, focusing on the last ten years. Results The historical analysis indicates that, over the course of eighty years, there has been strengthening of professional associations of nutritionists and achievements concerning training regulation, professional practice, fields of work and working conditions. The labor reform act of 2017 reduces the rights related to working conditions, creating setbacks in the achievements of nutritionists. Conclusion The professional associations of nutritionists have played an important role in the process of professionalization and legitimacy of training and performance of the profession in the country. There are indications of the unified performance of professional associations, but it is still incipient and scarce. Nowadays, unified, transparent and committed action of these professional associations is imperative for the professionalization and improvements of the working conditions of Brazilian nutritionists

Alterações químicas do solo após irrigação com efluentes e adubação fosfatada cultivado com Moringa oleifera Lam.

The interest in the use of wastewater has grown, due to the limitation of good quality water, especially in the semi-arid region. The objective was to analyze the chemical alterations of soil irrigated with wastewater and phosphate fertilization, in the production of seedlings of Moringa oleifera Lam. The experiment was installed in a greenhouse, in the forest nursery of the Experimental Station Prof. Ignácio Salcedo from the National Institute of the Semi-Arid Region – INSA, Campina Grande – Paraíba. A randomized block design was adopted, factorial arrangement 5 x 2, with four replications, with five percentages of treated domestic wastewater, diluted in supply water (25%; 50%; 75%; 100% and treated supply water ), associated with two nutritional factors (PA – phosphorus fertilization and SA – without fertilization). At 110 days after conducting the treatments, the following soil characteristics were evaluated: hydrogen potential, electrical conductivity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, sum of bases, aluminum, hydrogen, sulfate, cation exchange capacity and organic matter . The use of phosphate fertilizer contributed positively to the phosphorus, carbon, organic matter and cation exchange capacity of the soil. The increasing percentiles of wastewater leveraged the sum of bases and the cation exchange capacity, simultaneously promoted the increase in Na+, Al, H+Al contents and in the electrical conductivity of the soil saturation extract.O interesse na utilização de águas residuárias tem crescido, devido a limitação de água de boa qualidade, em destaque para o semiárido. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar as alterações químicas do solo irrigado com águas residuárias e da adubação fosfatada, na produção de muda de Moringa oleifera Lam. O experimento foi instalado em estufa, do viveiro florestal da Estação Experimental Prof. Ignácio Salcedo do Instituto Nacional do Semiárido – INSA, Campina Grande – Paraíba. Adotou-se o delineamento de blocos casualizados, arranjo fatorial 5 x 2, com quatro repetições, com cinco percentuais de água residual doméstica tratada, diluída em água de abastecimento (25%; 50%; 75%; 100% e água de abastecimento tratada), associados a dois fatores nutricionais (AF – adubação fosfatada e SA – sem adubação). Aos 110 dias após condução dos tratamentos, avaliaram-se as seguintes características do solo: potencial hidrogeniônico, condutividade elétrica, cálcio, magnésio, sódio, fósforo, potássio, soma de bases, alumínio, hidrogênio, sulfato, capacidade de troca catiônica e matéria orgânica. O uso da adubação fosfatada contribuiu de maneira positiva nos teores de fósforo, carbono, matéria orgânica e capacidade de troca catiônica do solo. Os percentis crescente de água residuária alavancaram a soma de bases e a capacidade de troca catiônica, simultaneamente promoveu o aumento nos teores de Na+, Al, H+Al e na condutividade elétrica do extrato de saturação do solo
