Spermatheca with capsule flattened at apex, and stem with three to four regular coils; accessory sclerite absent (Fig. 25). Etymology. The specific name refers to the host plant Cayaponia, with which the beetles were found associated. Noun in apposition. Type material. Holotype, male: BRAZIL. São Paulo: Campos do Jordão, 15.II.2020, with Cayaponia cabocla, Kobal col., pinned (MZSP 21278). Paratypes same data as holotype, 142 specimens, most pinned and 3 (2 males and 1 female) on slides (MZSP 21276, 21277, 21279–21418), 2 males and 2 females separated to be sent to the Field Museum of Natural History. Additional material. Many specimens in alcohol, same data as the type series, some specimens cleared in a separated vial, 3 males and 3 females used for scanning electron microscopy, and 15 specimens in a separated vial to be sent to Chungnam National University (CNU) (MZSP 21421). Remarks. Microlia cayaponia Zilberman & Pires-Silva sp. nov. individuals are similar in overall appearance to M. azteca (Casey) and with darker specimens of M. meticola (Casey). It can be distinguished from them by the spermatheca’s flattened capsule (somewhat rounded in previous species) and three to four regular coils in stem (multiple regular coils in M. meticola, and multiple irregular coils in M. azteca) (Gusarov 2002), and from the shape of ventral apex of aedeagus which is much shorter when compared to both previous species. The four to seven basal antennomeres being lighter than the apical ones seems to be characteristic of species recorded in North, Central, and South America, not shared with the supposedly myrmecophilous species from Australia, having the antenna at least mostly uniformly colored. The sexual dimorphism in the genus, especially concerning the chaetotaxy of the female sternite VIII, based on our study and from the illustrations in Gusarov (2002) and Bortoluzzi et al. (2016), is highly consistent across the species within the genus. All females have two pairs of two long main bristles longitudinally arranged in medial region, and three to four long bristles on each lateral margin, while males have more densely, shorter and more variable distributed bristles, even though two longitudinal rows of three midsize bristles in medial region are conspicuously noted in Microlia cayaponia sp nov. The only exceptions are probably the males of M. amici Bortoluzzi & Caron and M. machadoi Bortoluzzi & Caron (both in Bortoluzzi et al. 2016) which bristles look much scarcer, and the female of M. machadoi which has only a pair of long bristles in medial region. The sternite of the male of M. cayaponia sp. nov has the chaetotaxy similar to M. tetramera Gusarov, and the female sternite has three bristles on lateral margin as in M. silicae (Erichson), M. pentamera Gusarov, M. tetramera and M. amici. Another series of individuals was spotted on flowers of Cayaponia pilosa, however, those specimens were not studied in laboratory; thus the relationship of M. cayaponia sp. nov. with Cayaponia pilosa remains hypothetical. Microlia cayaponia sp. nov. is the third species of the genus recorded from Brazil; the other two, M. amici and M. machadoi, are easily distinguished by the much lighter pronotum. Distribution.

The main aim of this review is to examine agricultural water consumption in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) regions to understand how climate change will impact water availability and how the application of nuclear and stable isotope techniques can be used as tools for improving water use efficiency (WUE) for crop production. The status of agricultural water management in some LAC countries, such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, is also reviewed. In the LAC region, water consumption for agricultural irrigation ranged between 35% and 86% of the total available water. However, the WUE is very low in some LAC countries. Although the region, in general, has adequate water resources, there is still a need to improve WUE to increase the productivity of agricultural water. The impact of climate change in some LAC countries may lead to intensification and expansion of agricultural activity. In these areas, the WUE can be improved through soil and water conservation, minimizing soil evaporation (E), as well as through better irrigation management, especially by using an integrated approach on an area-wide basis to manage all land use activities and farming systems within an agricultural catchment. Nuclear and stable isotope techniques using Keeling Plot or IMB methods can play important roles in improving WUE in agriculture in LAC countries by providing information related to soil water losses for improving irrigation systems. El objetivo principal de esta revisión es examinar el consumo de agua por la agricultura en las regiones de América Latina y el Caribe (LAC) para comprender cómo el cambio climático afectará la disponibilidad de agua y cómo la aplicación de técnicas nucleares y de isótopos estables se puede utilizar como herramientas para mejorar el uso del agua (WUE) para la producción de cultivos. También se revisa el estado de la gestión en la agricultura del agua en algunos países de la LAC, como Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, México, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú y Uruguay. En la región de LAC, el consumo de agua para riego agrícola varió entre el 35 % y el 86 % del total de agua disponible. Sin embargo, la WUE es muy baja en algunos países de LAC. Aunque la región, en general, cuenta con recursos hídricos adecuados, aún existe la necesidad de mejorar la EUA para aumentar la productividad del agua para la agricultura. El impacto del cambio climático en algunos países de LAC puede conducir a la intensificación y expansión de la actividad agrícola. En estas áreas, la EUA se puede mejorar a través de la conservación del suelo y el agua, minimizando la evaporación del suelo (E), así como a través de una mejor gestión del riego, especialmente mediante el uso de un enfoque integrado en toda el área para gestionar todas las actividades de uso de la tierra y la agricultura dentro de una cuenca. Las técnicas nucleares y de isótopos estables que utilizan los métodos Keeling Plot o IMB pueden desempeñar un papel importante en la mejora de la WUE en la agricultura en los países de LAC al proporcionar información relacionada con las pérdidas de agua del suelo para mejorar los sistemas de riego.

Ageniella (Priophanes) erythroptera (Banks, 1946) Priophanes erythroptera Banks, 1946: 443 ��� 444. We observed A. erythroptera transporting a young female of an undetermined species of wolf spider (Trochosa sp.) (Figs 9 ��� 10, Video 1). The wasp was carrying the paralyzed wolf spider forward, grasping its spinneret with the mandibles. The spider had its dorsal side to the ground. The spider���s hind legs were amputated at the coxa-trochanter joint. The ethological sequence we recorded for this species is represented by the formula VPT., Published as part of Lopez, Vinicius M., Cardoso, Renan Kobal De Oliveira Alves, Cez��rio, Rodrigo R., Guillermo-Ferreira, Rhainer & Dos Santos, Eduardo F., 2021, New Species of Entypus (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) and notes on the natural history of some Atlantic Forest spider wasps, pp. 361-368 in Zootaxa 5061 (2) on page 364, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5061.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/5649663, {"references":["Banks, N.

Poecilopompilus On two occasions, a female Poecilopompilus sp. was observed transporting an adult female of an undetermined species of crab spider (Misumenops sp.) (Video 3). The wasp dragged the paralyzed crab spider with its dorsal side upwards. The wasp carried her host by grasping a foreleg with the mandibles and deposited the spider near the nest entrance (approx. 1m). After depositing the host (see from 05sec in Video 4), the wasp probably started to search for the nest entrance. This behavior continued for 2min05sec (Video 4). When the wasp located the nest, it entered and left the nest, possibly inspecting it. In sequence, the wasp returned to the site where the paralyzed host was left, grasped it again (i.e., in the same manner as described above) and carried it directly into the nest. The nest was simple, a 16 cm tunnel angled downwards ~45�� in relation to the surface, with 2 cm diameter. The nest was located on the edge of low vegetation (i.e., grass) (Figs 13���14) surrounding the trail. There was no construction of a temporary closure to protect the nest during the hunting period. However, throughout the permanent closure, the wasp filled the nest with soil from the previous excavation, using the forelegs, and compacted the soil by pressing the pygidial plate against the burrow walls (Video 5). In the final step, the wasp started biting the edge of the burrow with the mandibles to remove loose soil. The wasp also manipulated the soil with its forelegs and compacted it with the pygidium. We did not find egg laying on the spider. Finally, the recorded ethological sequence can be categorized as VPTC., Published as part of Lopez, Vinicius M., Cardoso, Renan Kobal De Oliveira Alves, Cez��rio, Rodrigo R., Guillermo-Ferreira, Rhainer & Dos Santos, Eduardo F., 2021, New Species of Entypus (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) and notes on the natural history of some Atlantic Forest spider wasps, pp. 361-368 in Zootaxa 5061 (2) on page 366, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5061.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/5649663

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the cognitive decline and its association with the oral health condition through the number of remaining teeth (NRT) and related oral maintenance and rehabilitation (OMR). Material and Methods: This study was classified as observational,cross-sectional and prospective. The oral examination included the NRT and OMR. The mental health status was obtained through the Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE). Other parameters included the American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification (ASA) modified for Dentistry, a handheld electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood tests. Results: The sample was composed with 63 patients. It was found correlation between NRT and MMSE scores (p= 0.01). Healthy patients (ASA I) have more teeth when compared to unhealthy (p=0.004). When better was the OMR, better was the scores of MMSE (p< 0.001) and better was the health status (p=0.004). Conclusion: The findings showed several associations between oral condition, systemic health and cognitive decline. Decreased NTR and compromised oral maintenance and/orrehabilitation was more frequently observed in patients classified as systemically unhealthy and with reduced MMSE scores. Objetivo: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el deterioro cognitivo y su asociación con el estado de salud bucal a través del número de dientes remanentes (NDR) y el mantenimeitno y rehabilitación bucal relacionadas (MRB).

Conclusão: Portanto a deterioração do estado de saúde bucal influencia negativamente no estado geral de saúde dos pacientes. Objective: To know a relationship between the patient's current oral condition and his systemic health status, as well as, the general health status, a cognitive function and quality of life, through a questionnaire based on tests already validated in other studies associated with the physical examination of the patient. Materials and Method: The study shows how clinical and observational, being carried out in the Stomatology clinic of the Dentistry course at the State University of Ponta Grossa and through a questionnaire with 48 patients, with an average age of 54 years, being performed the exam oral which includes the number of teeth remaining (NDR) or tooth loss, oral diseases, oral and masticatory function and the quality of life in oral health (OHIP-14). The systemic evaluation included the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), a classification of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) modified for Dentistry, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), oximetry (OX) and body mass index ( BMI), spirometry and blood tests, including complete blood count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Results: Inclusion criteria were observed between oral conditions and the patient's past and current medical history, significant correlation between oral conditions and loss of cognitive function, significant correlation between loss of quality of life and oral condition and still associated statistics when the systemic system and quality of life were correlated. Conclusion: Therefore, the deterioration of the oral health status negatively influences the general health status of the patients.

Este artigo busca analisar a influência da cultura no currículo escolar. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma pesquisa do tipo bibliográfica. O texto inicia por falar da cultura e sua relação com o currículo, destacando o mesmo como um lugar de disputa (ARROYO, 2011) e de significação (SILVA, 1999). Em seguida, parte para o debate da Pedagogia Cultural (CORAZZA, 2004) e da importância de trazer o contexto do aluno para a escola. Conclui-se que existe uma multiplicidade cultural que deve ser incorporada no currículo escolar e que a escola não pode ser algo à parte do contexto social do aluno, e, por esse motivo, deve-se trabalhar essas representações culturais e sociais em sala de aula buscando um processo de aprendizagem mais significativo ao aluno.
