Książka Marty Maciejewskiej Dialektyka formy. Pełnometrażowe filmy fabularne Jana Švankmajera (2023) jest próbą udowodnienia tezy, że w pełnometrażowych produkcjach Švankmajera dochodzi do inkorporacji języka tych filmów przez surrealistyczny język krótkiego metrażu, w wyniku czego powstaje zupełnie nowa, oryginalna forma filmowa. Proponowaną hipotezę z powodu słabego ugruntowania teoretycznego i zbyt rozbudowanej części opisowej filmów udaje się obronić jedynie w minimalnym stopniu. Niemniej książka Maciejewskiej stanowi kluczową pozycję dla pragnących zapoznać się z kompletną sylwetką twórczą jednego z najbardziej fascynujących artystów współczesnego kina.

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a biologia e o comportamento de Dysdercus ruficollis (Linnaeus, 1764) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae), uma importante praga do algodoeiro (Gossypium spp.). Em condições de laboratório, 50 insetos foram criados à temperatura de 25 ± 1 oC, UR de 80 ± 3 % e fotoperíodo de 12 h. As posturas foram realizadas durante o dia e à noite. Os ovos que originaram machos e fêmeas apresentaram o mesmo período de incubação (6 dias). Ocorreram cinco estágios ninfais. O período ninfal, a longevidade e o ciclo de vida dos machos foi de 31,35, 44,25 e 81,60 dias e das fêmeas foi de 32,50, 49,17 e 87,67 dias, respectivamente. O período médio de pré-cópula foi de 3,70 dias, de cópula 2,34 dias e de não-cópula 3,64 dias. O período médio de prépostura foi de 9,60 dias, de postura 12,70 dias e de pós-postura 3,40 dias. As fêmeas realizaram, em média, 3,65 posturas e houve decréscimo do número total de ovos da 1a para a 5a postura. A fecundidade média foi de 273,35 ovos e o número médio de ovos/postura 74,89. A fertilidade média foi de 5,30 ovos, o número médio de ovos férteis/postura 1,45 e a taxa de fertilidade 1,94 %.

Recently, post-socialist inner cities have been transforming through various processes of revitalisation and gentrification. The resulting physical and social contrasts of neighbouring localities lead to the spatial fragmentation of inner-city areas that may produce variegated effects on the everyday life of local residents. This paper examines how long-term residents of an inner-city neighbourhood in Prague undergoing residential and commercial gentrification have perceived and lived through its change. Specifically, it reveals how the ongoing changes influence residents' place attachment. The paper relies upon qualitative methodology using semi-structured in-depth interviews with long-term inhabitants (>20 years). Empirical findings point to a strong and stable place attachment, despite ambivalent attitudes towards recent changes related to gentrification. The effect of gentrification on place attachment appears to be relatively limited. Many residents acknowledge that gentrification has reversed the deterioration that characterised the neighbourhood in the past. Moreover, negatively perceived changes to the neighbourhood are often not attributed primarily to the gentrification process but understood as a natural part of residents' own ageing, wider societal changes, and historical development of the neighbourhood. The article highlights the need to investigate the personal, spatial and temporal contexts to comprehend the complex effects of gentrification on long-term residents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock (Diptera: Tephritidae), the carambola fruit fly, is a quarantine pest present in Brazil, restricted to the states of Amapá, Pará, and Roraima. Its dispersion to other regions of the country could cause serious socioeconomic damage. Fruits were collected from urban trees, residential backyards, and small orchards in rural and urban areas of the municipality of Oiapoque, Amapá, Brazil. A total of 240 samples (11,126 fruits; 288.8 kg) of 33 plant species (16 native and 17 introduced species) from 19 families were collected. Bactrocera carambolae was isolated from the fruits of 13 plant species. In addition, specimens of 8 Anastrepha species were collected in this study. Moreover, 5 parasitoid species (Hymenoptera; 3 Braconidae and 2 Figitidae species) associated with Anastrepha spp. were identified. Overall, this study adds 3 new records to the list of host plants for B. carambolae in Brazil (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.; Moraceae, Passiflora quadrangularis L.; Passifloraceae, and Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.; Rhamnaceae), two of them (A. heterophyllus and P. quadrangularis) new records for South America, and demonstrates new interactions between Anastrepha species and host plants in the extreme north of the state of Amapá. Notably, this is the first report of the figitid species, Aganaspis nordlanderi Wharton, in the state of Amapá. Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock (Diptera: Tephritidae), a mosca-da-carambola, é uma praga quarentenária presente no Brasil, restrita aos estados do Amapá, Pará e Roraima. Sua dispersão para outras regiões do país poderia causar sérios prejuízos socioeconômicos. Os frutos foram coletados em árvores urbanas, quintais residenciais e pequenos pomares nas áreas rurais e urbanas do município de Oiapoque, Amapá, Brasil. Um total de 240 amostras (11.126 frutos; 288,8 kg) de 33 espécies vegetais (16 nativas e 17 introduzidas) de 19 famílias foram coletadas. Bactrocera carambolae foi isolada dos frutos de 13 espécies vegetais. Além de B. carambolae, foram coletados neste estudo espécimes de 8 espécies de Anastrepha. Além disso, 5 espécies de parasitoides (Hymenoptera; 3 espécies de Braconidae e 2 de Figitidae) associadas a Anastrepha spp. foram identificadas. No geral, este estudo acrescenta 3 novos registros à lista de plantas hospedeiras de B. carambolae no Brasil (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.; Moraceae, Passiflora quadrangularis L.; Passifloraceae e Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.; Rhamnaceae), dois deles novos registros na América do Sul (A. heterophyllus e P. quadrangularis) e demonstra novas interações entre espécies de Anastrepha e plantas hospedeiras no extremo norte do estado do Amapá. Notavelmente, este é o primeiro relato da espécie de figitídeo Aganaspis nordlanderi Wharton no estado do Amapá. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main trip of the Salvadoran writer Roque Dalton to Eastern Europe took place in 1966 and was destined for Prague. That experience was captured in the collection of poems Taberna y otros lugares (1969). The volume analyzed as constitutes a testimony of imagination about Prague and about the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in the socio-political context of the Cold War. The book is part of the so-called "world communist literature", but it nevertheless adopts a critical and desacralizing perspective within this literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El principal viaje del escritor salvadoreño Roque Dalton a Europa del Este se produjo en 1966 y tuvo como destino Praga. Esa experiencia se plasmó en el poemario Taberna y otros lugares. (1969). El volumen analizado constituye un testimonio de imaginación sobre Praga y sobre la República Socialista Checoslovaca, en el contexto socio-político de la Guerra Fría. El libro forma parte de la denominada “literatura comunista mundial”, pero adopta, sin embargo, una perspectiva crítica y desacralizadora dentro de esta literatura.

This article intends to carry out a comparative analysis between the nouvelles Nadie muere del todo en Praga (2002) by Susana Tampieri and El hijo judío (2018) by Daniel Guebel with the purpose of investigating whether their respective constructions on the Prague author and the ideas related to his work can reflect eventual changes in the reception of the figure of Franz Kafka in Argentina.

Pričujoče besedilo se osredotoča na specifično umetniško prakso, ki smo jo uporabili pri izvedbi projekta Praga ni Češka, ki smo ga zasnovali kot kolektivno razstavo v okviru Praškega kvadrienala scenskega oblikovanja in prostora 2019 (v nadaljevanju: PK). Avtorice projekta, ki so se povezale v ekipo Intelektrurálně, so se odločile projekt nadaljevati s potovalno agencijo Praga ni Češka in ga razviti v sistematično družbeno-umetniško raziskavo, ki izbrane strategije nepraške resničnosti uporablja kot ready-made in jih napolni z lastnimi vsebinami. Že od samega začetka projekt temelji na konceptu radikalnega sodelovanja, tako da participativni pristop k ustvarjanju predstavlja primarno temo, kar se odraža tudi v tem besedilu (ki je tudi samo plod sodelovanja več ljudi). Glavni namen pričujočega članka je predstaviti izhodiščne umetniške pristope in temeljne strategije projekta. Besedilo, ki sledi, zato obsega manifest, ki sta ga spisali pobudnici projekta. Razdeljen je na štiri dele glede na bistvene vidike samega projekta, temu pa sledi širša teoretska refleksija. V prvem razdelku z naslovom »Kaj delamo« avtorice opisujejo različne oblike predstavljenega projekta in okoliščine njegovega nastanka ter razvijanja. Nadaljnje besedilo se deli na štiri dele – glede na poglavitne vidike projekta: »Češkost«, »Participacija«, »Scenografija« in »Izkušnja«

The ladybird (Hippodamia convergens) is one of the most studied predators for its effectiveness as a biological controller of important agricultural pests, while the “green citrus aphid” (Aphis spiraecola) is a frequent pest in fruit trees, with high population densities and high levels of of persistence. The objective of this work is to determine the biology, predatory capacity and behavior of H. convergens against the aphid A. spiraecola under laboratory conditions. There were three treatments to evaluate the predatory capacity, where individuals of A. spiraecola, stage II, were consumed in each larval stage of H. convergens, totaling 130, 150 and 170 aphids for treatments 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The observed life cycle was 65.5 days (treatment 1), 60.32 days (treatment 2) and 55 days (treatment 3). Consuming a total of 4726 aphids in their larval stage, with a consumption rate of 278 aphids/day. The period of pre-mating, copulation and post-mating varied from one to two days, giving rise to early laying after mating. The oviposition period was 27 days on average, with fertility and viability percentages close to 100% at 25.12°C and 63.78% RH. In this phase, a total of 485 eggs were laid, at a rate of 18 eggs/day. In addition, mortality was recorded in adults with very low values (close to 7%). Thus, it is concluded that factors such as temperature, relative humidity and consumption of aphids are determinant for the biology, predatory capacity and behavior of H. convergens.

The paper presents one of the less known Latin-Polish glossaries of plant names from the Franciscan manuscript codex at present kept at the National Library of the Czech Republic in Prague. Even though over a hundred years ago the codex was mentioned among interesting manuscript relics and its links with Przemyśl were suggested, there had never been a thorough analysis of it. Therefore this article is an attempt to trace the provenance of the codex, which turns out to have been from the Franciscan monastery in Przemyśl to Prague. As a result of revived interest in late-medieval and 16th-century herbals, as well as Latin-Polish glossaries of herb names, the author has decided to present that relic. What speaks in favor of that decision is the fact that of the group of 271 plant names, which have been compared with the known dictionaries from Polish codices and herbals, nearly one-third features only in the Przemyśl (Prague) manuscript, thus confirming its value.

Początki procesów o magię i procesów o czary w Pradze należy datować na koniec XV w. W okresie od objęcia tronu czeskiego przez Habsburgów (1526) do bitwy na Białej Górze (1620) można udokumentować jedynie pojedyncze przypadki procesów o praktyki magiczne w Pradze. Jest to o tyle symptomatyczne, że w ostatniej tercji XVI w. wyraźnie zauważalny jest wzrost liczby procesów o magię na ziemiach czeskich, a odnotowano też wówczas pierwsze, odosobnione jeszcze przypadki czarostwa. Jeden z procesów odbył się przed sądem Małej Strany (Mniejszego miasta praskiego) w 1553 r., a powodem w nim był królewski rusznikarz i ludwisarz Tomáš Jaroš. Poważniejsze sprawy dotyczące oskarżeń o magię i czary miały miejsce w Pradze dopiero w czasie wojny trzydziestoletniej. W 1624 r. cztery kobiety z Pragi-Hradczan zostały oskarżone o stręczycielstwo i uprawianie praktyk magicznych. Jedna z nich została skazana na wypędzenie z Pragi. W 1630 r. na Starym Mieście przeprowadzono dochodzenie przeciwko Marianie Příhodovej, żonie murarza, która została oskarżona o uprawianie magii i zabobonnych praktyk. Została jednak uniewinniona przez Sąd Apelacyjny. W 1631 r. Ludmiła Husáková została aresztowana na Nowym Mieście w Pradze pod zarzutem uprawiania magii, znachorstwa i wróżbiarstwa. Była ona więziona i przesłuchiwana przez prawie pół roku. Z więzienia została zwolniona dopiero po zdecydowanej interwencji jej pani, hrabiny Anny Benigny von Fürstenberg. Największa praska sprawa o czary w czasie wojny trzydziestoletniej odbyła się w 1644 r. Wówczas to specjalna komisja przeprowadziła dochodzenie w sprawie 19 chłopców z Pragi w wieku od 8 do 17 lat za rzekome wywoływanie diabła w szkole jezuickiej na Małej Stranie.

Existem mais de uma centena de espécies de insetos e ácaros que se hospedam nesta essência florestal, muitas ainda não identificadas. Destas, poucas causam dano econômico, visto que a maioria ocorre em baixos níveis populacionais (2). A espécie Gyropsylla spegazziniana (Lizer, 1917) (Homoptera, Psyllidae), vulgarmente conhecida por ampola-da-erva-mate, era considerada uma praga “secundária” até pouco tempo atrás, no entanto, com o cultivo comercial da erva- -mate, tornou-se uma praga de importância econômica para o Estado de Santa Catarina. Indivíduos desta espécie são facilmente encontrados nas porções terminais dos ramos das erveiras, principalmente em épocas que surgem brotações novas nas árvores.

O tema da epidemia é recorrente na literatura ocidental, abarcando obras que foram escritas desde a antiguidade até a contemporaneidade. Partindo dessa premissa, o objetivo deste artigo é fornecer um panorama de textos que tratam dessa questão e estudar a representação do surto epidêmico que vertebra o romance ‘A peste’, do escritor francês Albert Camus, e se estrutura a partir da convergência dos relatos das peripécias de um médico, Dr. Bernard Rieux, com as histórias pessoais de Jean Tarrou, Joseph Grand, Raymond Rambert, o padre Paneloux, o juiz Othon e o mercenário Cottard. O suporte teórico para as análises pauta-se nos textos de Araújo (2020), Benevides (2011), Develey (2020), Fritsch (2018), Martins (2011), Candido (2011), Marx (2020), Palud (2008), Pereira (1996), Phélip (2020), Ruffato (2020), Voisine-Jechova (2001). Valendo-se do entrelaçamento das histórias de vários personagens, a obra camusiana desvela o que há de melhor e de pior nas suas ações, durante um surto de peste bubônica ocorrido na cidade de Oran, e apresenta uma narrativa sensível e humanizada das vidas de seus habitantes imersos num período de horror e de sofrimento, marcado pela tragédia e pela dor de perdas familiares, exílio e confinamento nas fronteiras de um espaço que se vê invadido pela doença, que persiste ao longo de vários meses e vitima grande parte de sua população.

Książka Bogusława Zmudzińskiego Twórczość filmowa Jana Švankmajera. Główne konteksty kulturowe i ideowe (2020) jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie o zasadnicze konteksty dla analizy krótkometrażowej twórczości Alchemika z Pragi. Autor przekonuje, że Jan Švankmajer jest kontynuatorem i polemistą wobec dzieła i twórczości malarza manierycznego Giuseppe Arcimboldiego. W zebranych esejach Zmudziński analizuje wybrane aspekty twórczości Švankmajera, lokując je w kontekście dzieła Arcimboldiego. Na uwagę zasługują w szczególności poruszone przez autora publikacji zagadnienia festiwalowej recepcji twórczości Švankmajera oraz postulat uwzględnienia lokalnych kontekstów powstawania filmów w procesie finalnej interpretacji dzieła.

Numa perspectiva ampla, este ensaio aborda a vida de Roman Jakobson durante sua permanência de quase vinte anos na Tchecoslováquia, entre 1920 e 1939. Trata-se de uma abordagem puramente biográfica que contempla particularmente ligações, dificuldades, perseguições e desconfianças que fizeram parte do convívio do filólogo com autoridades políticas em Praga e Brno.

The epidemic theme is recurrent in Western literature, encompassing books that were written from antiquity to contemporary times. Based on this assumption, the objective of this article is to provide an overview of texts that address this issue and to study the representation of the epidemic outbreak that builds up the novel 'The plague', by the french writer Albert Camus, and it is structured based on the convergence of the stories of the adventures of Dr. Bernard Rieux, with personal stories of the following characters: Jean Tarrou, Joseph Grand, Raymond Rambert, priest Paneloux, judge Othon and the mercenary Cottard. The theoretical support for the analyzes is based on the texts by Araújo (2020), Benevides (2011), Develey (2020), Fritsch (2018), Martins (2011), Candido (2011), Marx (2020), Palud (2008), Pereira (1996), Phélip (2020), Ruffato (2020), Voisine-Jechova (2001). Drawing on the intertwining of the stories of various characters, the camusian book unveils the best and the worst in their actions, during an outbreak of bubonic plague in the city of Oran, and presents a sensitive and humanized narrative of the lives of its inhabitants immersed in a period of horror and suffering, marked by tragedy and the pain of family losses, exile and confinement at the borders of a space that is invaded by the disease, which persists over several months, and victimizes a large part of its population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although the medieval plague epidemic had a global impact, its intensity varied from region to region in Europe. Plague rates as well as mortality rates were conditioned by climatic and geographical conditions, population density, migration, and trade activities, as well as nutritional opportunities and mental or cultural habits. If we look at Europe as a whole, then the Czech lands, the Bohemian Kingdom and the Moravian Margraviate were among the areas affected by plague epidemics in the XIVth and XVth centuries much less than medieval France, England, Italy, or the German lands of the Holy Roman Empire. The causes of the lower intensity of the plague epidemic in Bohemia and Moravia can be seen in all of the aspects mentioned above, which does not, however, mean that the impact of the plague epidemic in the Kingdom of Bohemia was not, in some regards, comparable to that in Western Europe. Research on the medieval plague epidemic in Bohemia and Moravia has struggled with a lack of relevant sources from the very beginning. The limited explanatory power of the sources has also influenced the limited interest of Czech historians in this topic. The only debate that was ever conducted about the impact of the plague epidemic in a Czech intellectual milieu concerned its possible influence on the outbreak of the Hussite revolution, or the degree of the intensity of the plague in 1380. This debate quite clearly led to the conclusion that in plague epidemics, or in their impact on pre-Hussite society, it is not possible to see a significant or even decisive cause of the outbreak of the Hussite revolution.

Folhas e ramos novos da erva-mate, Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil. (Aquifoliaceae), são industrializados para produzir a erva do chimarrão, chás e outros derivados, o que se constitui em importante atividade agroindustrial no Sul do Brasil. Em 2005 foi constatada a ocorrência de larvas xilófagas em ramos novos de plantas de erva-mate em Chapecó, SC, que causavam intumescimento de ramos e secamento de brotações. Adultos deste inseto criados em laboratório foram determinados como Parastenopa sp. (Diptera, Tephritidae), sendo o primeiro registro desta praga em erva-mate no Estado de Santa Catarina.

The article shows the phenomenon of overtourism in a new, previously unexposed perspective - the assessment of foreign residents of a tourist city. The research area was Prague (Czech Republic). The results of the study show that, according to residents, intensive tourist traffic is a problem that significantly reduces their quality of life in the city. Overpriced housing, crowding and the constantly rising cost of living in Prague are among the most frequently indicated hindrances. Regulations of prices and rules for short-term rentals (Airbnb), dispersal of tourist traffic, promotion of other places and the use of fines and penalties are most often suggested as expected solutions.

O percevejo-bronzeado Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) ataca plantas de eucaliptos em diversos Estados do Brasil, causando bronzeamento de folhas, secamento de ramos e morte de plantas. Esse inseto tem hábito gregário, possui coloração marrom-rosada e mede aproximadamente 3mm de comprimento. Existem poucas alternativas para controlar o percevejo-bronzeado devido às características dos reflorestamentos, sendo o controle biológico clássico uma das poucas opções a ser pesquisada no manejo integrado dessa praga.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho produtivo de quatro cultivares de morangueiro e a sanidade das frutas em sistema de produção de transição para agroecológico. O experimento foi executado no município de Chapecó, na Região Oeste de Santa Catarina. Foram avaliados os cultivares Albion, Camarosa, Camino Real e Toyonoca. O sistema de produção utilizado foi o cultivo protegido em túneis baixos com adubação orgânica e retirada de tecidos com sintomas de doenças. Foram avaliados o rendimento total (RT), de frutas comerciais (RFC), de frutas com ataque de pragas (RFP), de frutas com doenças (RFD), e suas proporções, além da distribuição da produção ao longo do tempo. O cultivar Camarosa superou Albion em RT e RFC, e Toyonoca apenas em RFC. Toyonoca apresentou maior proporção de frutas atacadas por pragas que os demais cultivares. O cultivar Camarosa apresentou pico de produção mais precoce que os outros cultivares. Entre os cultivares testados, Camarosa e Camino Real apresentaram melhor desempenho, podendo ser utilizados para escalonar a colheita, no sistema de produção considerado.

O percevejo “barriga-verde” Dichelops furcatus (Fabr.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) está causando danos em lavouras de milho situadas no Oeste catarinense. A biologia desse inseto, caracterizando suas fases de desenvolvimento, foi estudada no Laboratório de Fitossanidade da Epagri/Cepaf (Centro de Pesquisa para Agricultura Familiar) em Chapecó, SC, adotando a temperatura de 25 ± 2oC, fotófase de 14 horas e umidade relatva do ar de 60 ± 1%. O ciclo biológico (ovo-adulto) desse inseto aconteceu em 36,53 ± 4,96 dias, o que permite o desenvolvimento de várias gerações anuais. A razão sexual encontrada para essa espécie foi de 0,45. Cada fêmea realizou 11,43 ± 3,25 posturas, cada uma com 11,85 ± 1,06 ovos, que tiveram 91,72% de viabilidade. A longevidade dos machos e das fêmeas adultas alcançou, respectvamente, 84,79 ± 17,06 e 112,38 ± 23,05 dias.

The Czech historian Jaroslav Bidlo (1868-1937) was one of the few Austro-Hungarian scholars who possessed vast and critical knowledge in the field of history of Slavic nations. His knowledge was based on his own experience gathered in Polish and Russian academic circles before World War I. As a professor of the Czech Charles-Ferdinand University he was involved in the so-called Neo-Slav movement, which culminated in the "Slavic Congress" in Prague in July 1908, and in the edition of a collective monograph about the Slavic nations (Slovanstvo, Prague 1912). Bidlo used these opportunities to create his own synthetic concept of Slavic history, which he later successfully developed during the interwar period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scopo del presente saggio è offrire una succinta ancorché accurata analisi del romanzo brodiano, piccola perla letteraria scarsamente nota al di fuori delle ristrette cerchie di specialisti, e al contempo spiegare le ragioni della scelta di David Reubeni, pseudomessia ebreo del XVI secolo destinato ad oscura fama, quale protagonista della narrazione. Il contributo si propone, in particolare, sulla scorta dell’indagine critica di alcuni dei passi più rilevanti dell’opera, di evidenziare come il contesto storico-culturale in cui il romanzo vide la luce – la città di Praga all’indomani del crollo dell’impero asburgico e l’animato dibattito in seno al movimento sionista – possa fornire una probante chiave ermeneutica utile a decodificarne il segreto messaggio. It is the aim of the present essay to offer a brief albeit accurate analysis of Max Brod’s novel, a little literary gem scarcely read outside of narrow circles of specialists, as well as to explain the reasons behind the choice of David Reubeni, an almost entirely forgotten Jewish pseudo-Messiah of the XVI century, as the main character. By closely examining some of the novel’s most salient passages, this paper particularly intends to show how the historical and cultural context in which it was composed – the city of Prague in the wake of the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire, the heated debate within the Zionist movement – can provide us with a persuasive key to understanding its hidden message.

Nel luglio 1920 gli incontri con Jakob Rabinowitz, scrittore e agricoltore in Palestina, affascinarono a tal punto Kafka da toglierli il sonno. Questo contributo fa luce su un episodio sconosciuto nel quale si delineano due dimensioni opposte, e secondo Rabinowitz sostanzialmente incompatibili, della scrittura e dell’identità ebraica. In July 1920 Jakob Rabinowitz’s narratives of his life as a writer and farmer in Palestine fascinated Franz Kafka so much that it cost him «half a night thinking of them». This paper attempts to throw light on a hitherto unknown episode in Kafka’s life in which two different paths of literature and Jewish identity delineate themselves, two paths which, according to Rabinowitz, exclude each other: the abstract-calculating path of the western Jewish writers and the path bound to the sanctity of «Reality» of future Hebrew literature in Palestine.

Abstract The mango tree (Mangifera indica L.), native to Asia, is expanding in Brazil. However, research related to phytophagous organisms and natural enemies associated with this fruit are scarce in the country. The aim of this work was to report new species of thrips-pest and natural enemies associated with mango tree inflorescence. The work was carried out in a Tommy Atkins mango orchard located in the municipality of Jardinópolis, São Paulo, Brazil. The arthropods found in malformed inflorescences were collected and identified. Frankliniella gemina Bagnall, Frankliniella distinguenda Bagnall (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and Haplothrips gowdeyi (Franklin) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) thrips-pest species were recorded for the first time associated with inflorescence in mango orchards. The predators were collected in association with the phytophagous thrips.

Abstract. The genus Catasetum (Orchidaceae) currently has 194 orchid species distributed throughout Central America, northern Argentina, and southern Brazil, with Brazil as the largest producer with 103 species that may be epiphytic, terrestrial, or rupicolous. Aphids are insect pests that can damage ornamental plants such as orchids, either directly by sucking their sap or indirectly via secretions. Their secretions are attractive to pathogens and other insects, which then feed on the plant and cause a loss of flowers and leaves, spots to appear, reduced flower production, and flowering deformation. These defects can then reduce the value of the plant. When an aphid attack occurs, their ability to rapidly multiply and spread can cause major disruptions to disruptions to parts of the plant’s life cycle. In this report, we examine how the aphid Aphis craccivora Koch infests Catasetum sp. and causes tissue death, decay of the buttons and base of the stem, and stains in the flowers. Thus, owing to the damage that insects of the family Aphididae can cause ornamental plants, this study aims to report the first recorded A. craccivora attack on Catasetum sp. in Brazil. Primeiro relato de Aphis craccivora Koch in Catasetum sp. no Brasil Resumo. O gênero Catasetum (Orchidaceae) tem atualmente 194 espécies de orquídeas distribuídas por toda a América Central, norte da Argentina e sul do Brasil, sendo o Brasil o maior produtor com 103 espécies que podem ser epífitas, terrestres ou rupícolas. Afídeos são insetos-praga que podem danificar plantas ornamentais, como orquídeas, diretamente sugando sua seiva ou indiretamente via secreções. Suas secreções são atrativas para patógenos e outros insetos, que então se alimentam da planta e causam danos em flores e folhas, com surgimento de manchas e deformações nas flores. Estes danos podem então reduzir o valor comercial da planta. Quando ocorre um ataque de pulgão, sua capacidade de se multiplicar e disseminar rapidamente pode causar grandes danos no ciclo de vida da planta. Neste trabalho, relata-se o ataque do pulgão Aphis craccivora Koch em Catasetum sp. O dano observado foi morte de tecidos, e deterioração dos botões e da base da haste, e manchas nas flores. Assim, devido ao dano que os insetos da família Aphididae podem causar plantas ornamentais, este estudo tem como objetivo relatar o primeiro ataque de A. craccivora em Catasetum sp. no Brasil.

The fig fly, Zaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970 (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a generalist species, but economically important in the fig culture, in which it is considered a primary pest. This study aimed to verify the levels of natural infestation of Z. indianus in blackberry, strawberry guava, Physalis, guava, blueberry, strawberry and Surinam cherry fruits in southern Brazil. The indexes were calculated through the number of flies emerged per fruit and the number of flies per mass (Kg) of fruit. The highest rates of infestation (fly/Kg) were observed in blackberries (1295), strawberry guavas (1253) and Surinam cherries (1016); for the second index, (M/n) in guavas (26.17), strawberry guavas (11.87) and strawberries (10.27). Fruits collected directly from the plant were more infested compared with fruits collected from the soil, which may be due to the initial attack of Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) and Anastrepha spp., pests already disseminated in the region.
