Com o crescimento acelerado da tecnologia, o uso da Realidade Virtual vem se tornando cada vez mais significativo. A realidade virtual visa criar simulações nas quais o usuário interage com objetos em um ambiente virtual. Os treinamentos de segurança orientam os colaboradores de uma empresa a exercer as atividades de modo seguro, para que não haja ocorrências de acidentes. Contudo, a realidade virtual empregada em treinamentos para a prevenção de acidentes no ambiente de trabalho visa aumentar a percepção dos colaboradores e com isso evitar os acidentes de determinada atividade. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a aplicabilidade no uso da Realidade Virtual no desenvolvimento das pessoas na identificação dos riscos em atividades de armazenagem no setor de logística. O estudo é baseado em um estudo de caso para o qual foram realizadas entrevistas com os funcionários no setor de armazenagem de uma empresa localizada na Serra ES. A partir das entrevistas realizadas, pode-se observar que a maioria dos funcionários acreditam que o uso da realidade virtual é benéfico tanto para a empresa quanto para os funcionários. Portanto, conclui-se que a aplicabilidade da Realidade virtual na empresa pode trazer como benefício uma melhor imagem e maior competitividade no mercado, além de ser reconhecida como que investe em um ambiente de trabalho seguro. Palavras-chave: Realidade Virtual. Treinamentos. Segurança. Virtualidade. Interatividade. ABSTRACT With the accelerated growth of technology, the use of Virtual Reality has become increasingly significant. Virtual reality aims to create simulations where the user interacts with objects in a virtual environment. Safety training guides employees of a company to carry out their activities safely, so that there are no accidents. However, the virtual reality used in training to prevent accidents in the work environment aims to increase the perception of employees and thereby avoid accidents in a particular activity. The present work aims to verify the applicability in the use of Virtual Reality in the development of people in the identification of risks in storage activities in the logistics sector. The study is based on a case study where interviews were conducted with employees in the storage sector of a company located in Serra ES. From the interviews conducted, it can be seen that most employees believe that the use of virtual reality is beneficial for both the company and the employees. Therefore, it is concluded that the applicability of Virtual Reality in the company can bring as a benefit a better image and greater competitiveness in the market, in addition to being recognized as investing in a safe work environment.

Thought as montage and image has become a revealing method in the practical and theoretical study processes of artists and researchers of the 20th and 21st centuries. This article aims to articulate three ways of thinking through montage in the works of Bertolt Brecht, Sergei Eisenstein e Georges Didi-Huberman. The philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Huberman re-inaugurates the debate and exercise of thinking the anthropology of image and montage as a meta-language and a form of knowledge., La pensée comme montage et image est devenue une méthode révélatrice dans les processus d’études théoriques et pratiques des artistes et chercheurs des 20e et 21e siècles. Cet article vise à articuler trois formes de penser à travers le montage: dans les oeuvres de Bertolt Brecht, Sergei Eisenstein et Georges Didi-Huberman. Le philosophe et historien de l’art Georges Didi-Huberman répond à ces questions en reprenant le débat et l’exercice de penser l’Anthropologie de l’image et le montage en tant que métalangages et formes de connaissance., O pensar como montagem e imagem tornou-se um método revelador nos processos de estudos práticos e teóricos do artista e dos pesquisadores nos séculos XX e XXI. Este artigo procura articular três formas de pensar por montagem: nas obras de Bertolt Brecht, Sergei Eisenstein e Georges Didi- Huberman. O filósofo e historiador da arte Georges Didi-Huberman reinaugura o debate e o exercício de pensar a antropologia da imagem e a montagem como metalinguagem e forma de conhecimento.

O tema Segurança do Trabalho costuma nos remeter a ambientes industriais, comércios e atividades relacionadas à produção, sendo negligenciado em alguns casos, por síndicos e administradores de condomínios, quando deixam de cuidar da segurança de trabalhadores que realizam limpeza de calhas, reparos em telhados, troca de rede elétrica e da segurança dos próprios moradores, muitas vezes por falta de conhecimento técnico e da obrigatoriedade da instalação de sistemas de proteção nos ambientes de uso comum ou pela edificação. Cuidar da segurança do condomínio é função de uma boa administração, os equipamentos e sistemas de prevenção e combate a incêndios devem ser verificados e testados periodicamente, de forma preventiva, evitando imprevistos em situações de emergência. Também é importante que sejam treinados moradores e funcionários para brigada de incêndio, pois nos últimos anos tem se tornado recorrentes casos de incêndio. Neste trabalho vamos abordar a segurança do trabalho em condomínios residenciais, com o objetivo de identificar alguns riscos aos condôminos e funcionários, relacionar os ambientes, as atividades e os riscos, especificamente em relação à importância da instalação de sistemas de prevenção e combate a incêndios. Apontar possíveis soluções para atendimentos de ocorrências de pequenos acidentes e formas de proteção aos moradores, patrimônio e funcionários. A metodologia utilizada neste trabalho será através de estudos bibliográficos e pesquisas em revistas e artigos científicos que abordam o tema. Apresentar a legislação vigente, demonstrar a obrigatoriedade de sua aplicação em condomínios e a consequência resultante da negligência do seu cumprimento, como forma de instruir administradores de condôminos e síndicos da responsabilidade civil e criminal à qual estão sujeitos.Palavras-Chaves: Prevenção e combate a incêndios.

ABSTRACT The theme of work safety usually refers us to industrial environments, businesses and activities related to production, being neglected in some cases by liquidators and condominium administrators, when they fail to take care of the safety of workers who perform gutter cleaning, roof repairs, exchange of electrical network, for example, and the safety of the residents themselves, often due to lack of technical knowledge and the mandatory installation of protection systems in environments of common use or by building. Taking care of the security of the condominium is a function of good administration, the equipment and systems for preventing and fighting fires must be checked and tested periodically, in a preventive way, avoiding unforeseen circumstances in emergency situations, it is also important that residents and employees are trained to fire brigade, as fire incidents have become recurrent in recent years. In this work, we will address work safety in residential condominiums, with the objective of identifying some risks to residents and employees, relating the environments, activities and risks, specifically in relation to the importance of installing fire prevention and fighting systems, pointing out possible solutions, for assistance in the occurrence of minor accidents and ways of protecting residents, property and employees. The methodology used in this work will be through bibliographic studies and research in magazines and scientific articles that address the theme, present the current legislation, demonstrate the obligation of its application in condominiums and the consequence resulting from the negligence of its fulfillment, as a way to instruct administrators tenants and trustees of civil and criminal liability to which they are subject.Keywords: Fire prevention and fighting.

CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA TUTELA PROCESSUAL CIVIL DOS DIREITOS DA PERSONALIDADE PARA A EFICÁCIA DO MARCO LEGAL DO SANEAMENTO BÁSICOResumo:Objetivos: Apresentar os elementos da civilística e da processualística contemporâneas, referentes à tutela da incolumidade da pessoa, que possam dialogar com as normas de Direito Administrativo para a melhor e maior operabilidade do marco legal do saneamento básico. Metodologia: Desenvolveu-se com uma abordagem qualitativa que levou à identificação de formas de tutela individual do direito ao saneamento básico. A pesquisa foi bibliográfica e documental, pois analisou artigos e livros já publicados, coletou dados e analisou a legislação. Resultados: Sistematizou uma tese propositiva e inspiradora para fundamentar o saneamento básico como direito da personalidade. Nesse sentido, concebeu mecanismos processuais, inspirados no Código Civil e Código de Processo Civil, que se revelaram mais eficientes para garantir o saneamento básico às pessoas com segurança, qualidade, regularidade e continuidade. Contribuições: Como efeito da sistematização do saneamento básico como direito da personalidade, tem-se que a lesão a esse direito possibilita a tutela processual cessatória, inibitória e restauratória, as quais se revelam mais eficazes que a tutela coletiva típica dos direitos fundamentais constitucionais. Consequentemente, foi apresentada a existência de formas de tutela individual do direito ao saneamento básico, diminuindo ou retirando a dependência das pessoas desatendidas em relação a ações civis públicas para a eficácia desse direito.Palavras-chave: Saneamento básico. Direitos da personalidade. Tutela cessatória. Marco regulatório.CONTRIBUTIONS OF PERSONALITY RIGHTS’ CIVIL PROCEDURE PROTECTION TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BASIC SANITATION’S LEGISLATIONAbstract: Objectives: To present the elements of contemporary civilistic and proceduralistic, related to the protection of the of the person’s integrity, which can dialogue with the rules of Administrative Law for the better and greater operability of the basic sanitation’s legislation. Methodology: Developed with a qualitative approach that led to the identification of forms to the individual protection basic sanitation’s right. The research was bibliographic and documentary, as it analyzed articles and books already published, collected data and analyzed the applicable legislation. Results: It was systematized a propositional and inspiring thesis to support basic sanitation as a personality right. Thus, it designed procedural mechanisms, inspired by the Civil Code and Civil Procedure Code, which proved to be more efficient in guaranteeing basic sanitation with safety, quality, regularity and continuity to people. Contributions: As a result of the systematization of basic sanitation as a personality right, any injury to that right allows a cessatory, inhibitory and restorative legal protection procedural, which are more effective than the collective protection, typical of constitutional fundamental rights. Consequently, it was presented the existence of forms of individual protection for basic sanitation’s right, decreasing or removing the dependence of the unsupported population in relation to public civil action for the effectiveness of this right.Keywords: Basic sanitation.

Trata-se de pesquisa que objetivou analisar a existência de aumento dos casos de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher durante o distanciamento social adotado como medida protetiva e preventiva para o enfrentamento da Covid-19. Justifica-se este estudo pela necessidade de medidas efetivas em relação à proteção da mulher vitimada pela violência doméstica, principalmente para diminuir o número de casos da violência doméstica e garantir às vítimas proteção integral e o afastamento imediato do agressor de suas residências, além da punição pela prática da violência. Na metodologia, a pesquisa foi qualiquantitativa, pois analisou dados estatísticos objetivos e avaliou as consequências danosas da violência durante o confinamento. Para subsidiar a reflexão das causas e das medidas sociais e jurídicas, a pesquisa procedeu a uma análise de documentos legislativos e da literatura jurídica.

Neste artigo busca-se discutir que, a despeito da determinação contida no art. 334 do CPC/15, muitos magistrados têm declinado da realização da audiência de conciliação ou mediação sob o argumento de falta de estrutura do foro ou de déficit operacional, o que motivaria a dispensa do ato. Diante de tal cenário, o presente artigo defende que, diante da vontade expressa das partes, não pode o juiz descartar a designação da audiência de conciliação ou mediação, nada impedindo que o próprio magistrado atue na qualidade de conciliador quando não possua estrutura adequada e/ou pessoal suficiente ou tecnicamente habilitado no foro de sua atuação, tudo em prol da valorização do diálogo entre as partes e o alcance de solução justa, rápida e eficaz do conflito, efetivando, sobretudo, a garantia ao acesso à Justiça que nem sempre está coligada à ideia de obtenção de provimento jurisdicional final. Na reflexão do problema proposto, utilizou-se o método histórico das experiências de conciliação e mediação já praticadas no Brasil desde a implantação do instituto da conciliação na Constituição de 1824.

Este trabalho compreendeu a percepção dos servidores de um órgão público federal, localizado na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, em relação à análise de desempenho individual (ADI). Os dados empíricos foram produzidos por meio da aplicação de um questionário eletrônico semiestruturado. Foi utilizada a técnica denominada análise de conteúdo para o tratamento dos dados da pergunta aberta. Foram levantadas três categorias principais: atitude, credibilidade e metodologia. Os resultados da pesquisa, a partir da leitura da vertente societal (PAULA, 2005), mostram que os servidores da instituição, em geral, não acreditam que a avaliação de desempenho seja um processo significativo e relevante na aferição de seu desempenho, possibilitando a crítica em relação à importação das ferramentas de gestão advindas da administração privada e implementadas no serviço público. Palavras-chave: Gestão de Pessoas. Avaliação de Desempenho. Administração Pública. Gestão Societal. ABSTRACT This work included the perception of the employees of a federal public agency, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in relation to the individual performance analysis (ADI). Empirical data were produced by applying a semi-structured electronic questionnaire. The technique called content analysis was used to treat open question data. Three main categories were raised: attitude, credibility and methodology. The results of the research, from the reading of the societal aspect (PAULA, 2005), show that the institution's employees, in general, do not believe that the performance evaluation is a significant and relevant process in gauging its performance, allowing the criticism. regarding the importation of management tools from private administration and implemented in the public service.

Dentre as fontes de nitrogênio utilizadas na agricultura, a ureia é o fertilizante mais utilizado no Brasil. Todavia, apresenta problemas com a aplicação na superfície do solo devido às perdas de N por volatilização de amônia, decorrentes da ação da enzima urease. Objetivou-se determinar as perdas de N por volatilização de amônia de ureias protegidas e a produtividade de plantas de cafeeiro adubadas com tais fertilizantes. O experimento foi instalado em Nova Venécia – ES, em lavoura comercial de café Conilon ‘Vitória INCAPER8142’. Foram avaliadas cinco fontes de fertilizantes nitrogenados: T1= Ureia comum (45 % N); T2= Ureia (45 % N) + NBPT; T3= ureia (44,6 % N) +0,15% de Cu + 0,4 % de B; T4= ureia (37 % N) + enxofre (17 %); e T5= nitrato de amônio (34 % N). Foram instalados coletores de amônia, em cada parcela experimental, imediatamente após a aplicação dos fertilizantes. As ureias protegidas pelo inibidor NBPT e pelos micronutrientes Cu + B apresentam as menores perdas por volatilização que a ureia não protegida. O recobrimento da ureia com enxofre não proporciona redução das perdas de N por volatilização de amônia. A produtividade dos cafeeiros não é afetada pela utilização de ureias protegidas com NBPT, Cu + B e S, sob as condições estudadas. Among the sources of nitrogen (N) used in agriculture urea is the most widely used fertilizer in Brazil. However, this source presents problems with the application on the soil surface due to N losses by NH3 volatilisation, resulting from the action of the enzyme urease. This study aimed to determine the losses of nitrogen (N) by Ammonia volatilisation and yield of Conilon coffee plants fertilized with protected ureas. The experiment was installed in Nova Venécia – Espírito Santo state, Brazil, in commercial coffee farming Conilon ‘Vitória INCAPER 8142’ with five sources of nitrogen fertilizers: Common Urea-45% N (UC45), Urea-45% N + NBPT (U45+NBPT), Urea-44.6% N + 0.15% Cu + 0.4 % B (U44.6+Cu+B); Urea-37% N + 17% de S (U37+S), and Ammonium Nitrate-34% N (AN34). The experimental design was randomized blocks with five treatments and six replicates. Ammonia collectors were installed in each plot immediately after fertilizer application. Ureas protected by NBPT inhibitor and the Cu + B micronutrients have lower volatilisation losses in relation to unprotected urea. The coating of urea with sulfur does not provide reduced losses of N by volatilisation. The coffee yield is not affected by the use of protected ureas with NBPT, Cu + B and S under the conditions studied.

Estuda algumas das mudanças advindas com a vigência da Lei nº 13.146/2015 (Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência), com foco na questão do dano moral decorrente da inacessibilidade. A Lei em comento trouxe diversas alterações para o Código Civil brasileiro, de modo a considerar a pessoa com deficiência plenamente capaz para exercer todos os atos da vida civil e, assim, protegê-la por meio da liberdade a ela concedida. O presente estudo aborda a construção histórica do tratamento da pessoa com deficiência e tem como enfoque principal a acessibilidade como direito da personalidade. Assim, busca demonstrar que a inacessibilidade gera o dano moral e enseja a devida reparação civil, destacando a situação que envolve as empresas que não atendem às exigências de acessibilidade.

International audience; It is elementary to recognize the benefits and the negative impacts of the use of plastic materials on modern societies. Polyethylene (PE) is the major plastic component present in the municipal solid waste. In this paper, two types of low-density PE (LDPE) waste with different mechanical recycling stress histories were used to investigate the influence of recycling cycles on pyrolysis. The kinetic triplet and thermal degradation study were obtained using TGA data.To determine the sample composition and hydrocarbon arrangements, ultimate, proximate and X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out. Taking advantage of these analyses and combining them with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data, a series-parallel pyrolysis pathway was formulated. The waste of recycled polyethylene presented low enthalpy of pyrolysis, at about 205 J/g against 299 J/g for a virgin PE. The DSC analyses evidenced a multi-step reaction behavior of the pyrolysis, confirmed by the kinetic study using different isoconversional methods: the waste of recycled polyethylene presented a higher variation of activation energies as a function of the fraction reacted. The main conclusion is that the results suggest that the recycling stress history promotes the increase of long carbon chains while weakening the boundary among the compounds. This explains the fact that recycled waste needs less activation energy than other samples to degrade thermally. Finally, different categories of low-density polyethylene wastes must be considered when dealing with either kinetics or modeling of the product recovery process.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento de 54 clones de cafeeiro conilon oriundos do Programa de Melhoramento Genético do Incaper à ferrugem em condições controladas de temperatura e fotoperíodo. Utilizouse o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com três repetições, sendo cada repetição composta por 16 discos de folha cada, acondicionados em gerbox e inoculados com 104 esporos.mL-1 de H. vastatrix. Os gerbox foram colocados sob ausência de luz e 22ºC por 48 horas e então em fotoperíodo de 12 horas até o término do experimento. Foram avaliados os componentes de resistência: período de incubação, período latente, incidência, porcentagem de discos com esporulação, número de esporos e severidade. Com base nos resultados verificou-se a formação de três grupos de genótipos de café conilon: Resistentes, Moderadamente Resistentes e Suscetíveis. No grupo Resistente foram alocados 19 genótipos, no grupo Moderadamente Resistente foram alocados 19 genótipos e no grupo Suscetível foram alocados 16 genótipos. Assim, com base nos resultados, conclui-se que há variação no nível de resistência dos genótipos de C. canephora à H. vastatrix. Tal informação subsidia os programas de melhoramento na seleção adequada de progênies de C. canephora quanto à resistência à ferrugem. Made available in DSpace on 2019-12-13T18:10:14Z (GMT).

In Amazonian native forest management, forest road infrastructures, such as log storage yards and skid trails, arethe most expensive attributes and are responsible for the significant environmental impacts with selective treefelling. Road optimization is crucial for reducing environmental impacts and production costs and is stronglylinked to the optimal location of storage yards, which are essential to forest road planning. Considering thepresent problem and the current solutions available, this case study aimed to evaluate the efficiency andeventual gains of optimized forest planning (OFP), as compared to traditional forest planning (TFP). The TFPmethod is currently used most frequently by forest companies in the Amazon region. The study area of 126.41 habelongs to the National Forest (NAFO) Saracá-Taquera, Forest Management Unit II (FMU-II), Annual ProductionUnit (APU) 04/2018, and Work Unit (WU) 2. For the analysis, two areas were defined for exploration: thefirstwas explored using the OFP mathematical model (57.75 ha) and the second followed the TFP plan of thecompany (68.66 ha). Plans and executions for both areas were compared. The OFP model significantly reducedthe Euclidean distances between tree and yards, with only 0.23 km difference in the amount of planned forestroads, when compared to TFP. Additionally, OFP demonstrated a higher productivity (trees.h-1and m3.h-1), areduction of skid distance (by an average of 17.16%), and reduced the cost of log skidding (m3 by 25.76%). Thus,this study proved that OFP is a viable solution that can be adopted by companies to increase productivity. Made available in DSpace on 2020-05-27T04:40:42Z (GMT).

This paper proposes an M -estimator for the fractional parameter of stationary long-range dependent processes as an alternative to the classical GPH (Geweke and Porter-Hudak, 1983) method. Under very general assumptions on the long-range dependent process the consistency and the asymptotic normal distribution are established for the proposed method. One of the main results is that the convergence rate of the M -estimator is N β / 2 , for some positive β , which is the same rate as the standard GPH estimator. The asymptotic properties of the M -estimation method is investigated through Monte-Carlo simulations under the scenarios of ARFIMA models using contaminated with additive outliers and outlier-free data. The GPH approach is also considered in the study for comparison purposes, since this method is widely used in the literature of long-memory time series. The empirical investigation shows that M and GPH-estimator methods display standardized densities fairly close to the standard Gaussian density in the context of non-contaminated data. On the other hand, in the presence of additive outliers, the M -estimator remains unaffected with the presence of additive outliers while the GPH is totally corrupted, which was an expected performance of this estimator. Therefore, the M -estimator here proposed becomes an alternative method to estimate the long-memory parameter when dealing with long-memory time series with and without outliers.

A anistia é um mecanismo que, utilizado no âmbito da Justiça de Transição, frequentemente tem a finalidade de inviabilizar a responsabilização criminal por sistemáticas violações de direitos humanos. Nos últimos anos, a Lei de Anistia brasileira foi submetida ao exame de compatibilidade com a Constituição Federal de 1988 pelo Supero Tribunal Federal; e com a Convenção Americana de Direitos Humanos pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos – e as Cortes chegaram a conclusões diametralmente opostas em relação à validade destas normas. A fim de compreender a fundamentação dessas decisões divergentes e sua consequência, o presente trabalho analisa o desenvolvimento da jurisprudência da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos sobre as experiências de anistia latino-americanas e brasileira; e identifica a fundamentação preponderante nos votos dos Ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal brasileiro. Dessa apuração é possível aferir que o Supremo Tribunal Federal brasileiro fez valer interpretação tradicional do conceito de anistia e manteve a Lei de Anistia em sua integralidade, superando até mesmo as garantias constitucionais de defesa de direitos humanos e de respeito aos tratados e as convenções internacionais firmadas. Noutro giro, as reiteradas decisões da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos exigem a exclusão de crimes cometidos graves violações de direitos humanos e autorizam um novo caminho para a responsabilização individual pelas vias da jurisdição universal.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01 The bark (all tissues outside the cambium) is a morphologically diverse and functionally important part of the stem. Outer bark (periderm) has a protective function, and inner bark (secondary phloem) is involved in the long-distance transport. In savannas, the relationship between bark structure, life form and habitat is controversial. We studied the morphology and anatomy of bark of Melastomataceae species with different habits growing at different sites in the Brazilian Cerrado (a neotropical savanna), from well-drained to temporarily or permanently waterlogged soils. Bark samples were processed by standard anatomical techniques. Regarding the outer bark, the species studied are grouped into two main categories: with a single periderm (with nonstratified or stratified phelem) and with multiple periderms, that is, with a rhytidome. Although a formal test has not been carried out in this work to assess the existence of a correlation between the microscopic structure of the periderm and the habit and growth distribution of plants, there seems to be no correlation for most of the species studied here, except for a subshrub species inhabiting waterlogged soils. Sclerified cells, calcium oxalate crystals, and phenolic content are abundant through the secondary phloem. Microscopic bark features are useful to distinguish species. 2021 Departamento de Ciências Biológicas UFES - Universidade Federal Do Espírito Santo Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas Departamento de Ciência Florestal Solos e Ambiente UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista, CP 237 Departamento de Botânica UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista Instituto de Biociências, CP 510 Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas Departamento de Ciência Florestal Solos e Ambiente UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista, CP 237 Departamento de Botânica UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista Instituto de Biociências, CP 510

The Atlantic Forest is a global hotspot for biodiversity conservation; however, human actions threaten and unbalance the dynamics of the natural processes of the biome. The present study investigated the incidence of solar radiation within a fragment of semi deciduous seasonal forest in the area of the Atlantic Forest Biome in southeastern Brazil. In the four seasons of the year, the leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) were measured in the understory vegetation. The measurements were made at one-meter height, in ten different locations in the forest fragment, with different terrain exposure and slope. The annual average LAI was 4.5 and the PAR transmissivity was 4.1%. However, the results showed a spatial and seasonal variability of the leaf area index in the studied forest fragment. The seasonal variation of PAR in the understory vegetation was due to the LAI and to the different slopes and terrain exposures. The spatial heterogeneity in PAR availability is indicative of high plant diversity in the forest fragment. Made available in DSpace on 2022-08-16T14:21:23Z (GMT).

Different factors interfere in its development, among them, the interference of weeds. Thus, the objective was to analyze the performance of pre-emergence herbicides on the weed competition and agronomic components of soybean. For this, an experiment was carried out in commercial farming. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with three treatments and nine repetitions. The following treatments were tested: S-metolachlor (1,152 g a.i. ha-1); diclosulam (35 g a.i. ha-1; 42 g a.i. ha-1) + imazethapyr (164.8 g a.i. ha-1). Two phytosociological surveys were carried out at 21 and 32 days after sowing (DAS) for controlling the weed competition. At 14, 21, 32, and 37 DAS, stem height and diameter were analyzed, while at 115 DAS, the production components were estimated. The application of S-metolachlor (1,152 g a.i. ha-1) was efficient for pre-emergence weed control of weed competition in commercial soybean crops. Through this treatment, the conventional cultivar Ansc 89109 produced between 130,5 and 255,8 kg per hectare, this result is superior those obtained in plots treated with diclosulam (35 g a.i ha-1) + imazethapyr (164.8 g a.i. ha-1) and diclosulam (42 g a.i. ha-1) + imazethapyr (164.8 g a.i. ha-1). Thus, the application of higher-doses of diclosulam (42 g a.i. ha-1) in a mixture with imazethapyr (164.8 g a.i. ha-1) is not recommended since it presents eminent agronomic, environmental, and economic risks.

This study aimed to evaluate the hematologic response and the serum and peritoneal fluid (PF) proteinogram of cattle affected by digestive diseases. Twenty-seven animals were distributed in two groups: GI (intestinal diseases) and GII (traumatic reticuloperitonitis, TRP). The animals were previously submitted to a physical exam. Subsequently, blood samples were collected to perform the complete blood count, determine the plasma protein and fibrinogen, and obtain the serum for proteinogram in polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE). Simultaneously, PF was collected to perform physical and chemical evaluation and the electrophoretic profile (SDS-PAGE). ANOVA at the 5% probability level was used to compare the groups. The animals showed signs of apathy, dehydration, and gastrointestinal hypomotility in both groups. However, GI animals showed more significant clinical changes. The blood count of both groups (P > 0.05) showed leukocytosis due to neutrophilia and a regenerative left shift with hyperfibrinogenemia. The proteinogram of both body fluids allowed the identification of proteins albumin (ALB), transferrin (TRF), ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, ?1-acid glycoprotein (?1-AGP), MW 23000 Da, ?1-antitrypsin, IgA, and IgG. The [PT] PF/[PT] blood serum ratio of each of the identified proteins increased, showing statistical differences between groups (P < 0.05) regarding PT, ALB, TRF, ?1-AGP, and IgG values, with GI animals showing the highest ratio. Intestinal diseases and TRP triggered a systemic and local response characterized by clinical, hematological, and serum and PF proteinogram alterations. The proteins ?1-GPA, haptoglobin, and TRF measured in PF were good inflammation biomarkers and useful as an auxiliary tool for the diagnosis and prognosis of digestive diseases in cattle. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resposta hematológica e o proteinograma sérico e do líquido peritoneal (LP) de bovinos acometidos com doenças digestivas. Foram avaliados 27 bovinos distribuídos em dois grupos, GI (enfermidades intestinais) e GII (reticuloperitonite traumática-RPT). Os animais foram previamente submetidos ao exame físico. Posteriormente foram colhidas amostras de sangue para realização do hemograma, determinação plasmática da proteína e do fibrinogênio e obtenção do soro para realização do proteinograma em gel de poliacrilamida (SDS-PAGE). Simultaneamente foi colhido o LP para avaliação física e química, assim como a realização do perfil eletroforético (SDS-PAGE). Empregou-se a análise de variância ao nível de 5% de probabilidade visando à comparação entre os grupos. Em ambos os grupos os animais demonstraram sinais de apatia, desidratação e hipomotilidade gastrointestinal, no entanto, os animais do GI apresentaram alterações clínicas mais expressivas. No hemograma observou-se em ambos os grupos (P > 0,05) leucocitose por neutrofilia e desvio à esquerda regenerativo com hiperfibrinogenia. O proteinograma de ambos os fluidos corpóreos permitiu a identificação das proteínas albumina (ALB), transferrina (TRF), ceruloplasmina, haptoglobina, ?-1 glicoproteína ácida (?1-GPA), PM 23.000 Da, ?-1 anti-tripsina, IgA e IgG. Os valores da relação [PT] LP / [PT] soro sanguíneo de cada uma das proteínas identificadas demonstrou elevação dos mesmos, bem como diferença estatística entre grupos (P < 0,05) nos valores da PT, ALB, TRF, ?1-GPA e IgG, nos quais a relação foi mais elevada nos animais do GI. As enfermidades intestinais e a RPT desencadearam resposta sistêmica e local caracterizada pelas alterações clínicas, hematológicas, e do proteinograma sérico e do LP. A ?1-GPA, a haptoglobina e a TRF, mensuradas no LP se mostraram bons biomarcadores de inflamação, sendo úteis como recurso auxiliar de diagnóstico e prognóstico das doenças digestivas dos bovinos.

Reef fishes are a major component of tropical marine biodiversity, but their abundance and distribution are poorly assessed beyond conventional SCUBA diving depths. Based on a baited-video survey of fish assemblages in Southwestern Atlantic's most biodiverse region we show that species composition responded mainly to the two major hard-bottom megahabitats (reefs and rhodolith beds) and to the amount of light reaching the bottom. Both megahabitats encompassed typical reef fish assemblages but, unexpectedly, richness in rhodolith beds and reefs was equivalent. The dissimilar fish biomass and trophic structure in reefs and rhodolith beds indicates that these systems function based on contrasting energy pathways, such as the much lower herbivory recorded in the latter. Rhodolith beds, the dominant benthic megahabitat in the tropical Southwestern Atlantic shelf, play an underrated role as fish habitats, and it is critical that they are considered in conservation planning.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-06-01 This study evaluated the influence of environmental degradation on the nutritional value of the main marine macrophytes consumed by green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) in areas with different degrees of urbanization. Macrophyte assemblages in the highly urbanized area (HUa) showed lower richness compared to the lightly urbanized area (LUa) (Mann-Whitney U test: 10.0 ± 3.6 SD genera and 11.9 ± 4.2 taxa per transect vs. 20.1 ± 7.0 genera and 23.5 ± 9.2 taxa per transect) respectively. Also, diet was poorer with 4.0 ± 1.6 genera per turtle (vs. 8.5 ± 4.0 in HUa) and less diverse with Shannon index of diversity = 0.45 ± 0.29 (vs. 0.64 ± 0.46 in LUa). Body condition was similar in both areas. About half of individuals were classified as having normal body condition, 14–15% as underweight and 23–34% as being emaciated. Fibropapillomatosis prevalence (χ2 = 8.720; n = 222; df = 1; p = 0.003) was higher in the HUa but, in affected animals, severity was marginally non-significant (χ2 = 5.721; n = 82; df = 2; p = 0.057). Significant differences in energy content (kcal) were detected between areas in both summer (S) and winter (W). All ANOVAs on total lipids (F = 22.15 [S] and 30.39 [W]), total water-soluble proteins (F = 327.65 [S] and 64.42 [W]) and total carbohydrates (F = 70.90 [S] and 27.62 [W]) showed high significance (p < 0.001). Carotenoids concentration yielded significant results for Halodule in summer and Hypnea in winter (ANOVAs, F = 39.42 and 13.07, respectively). For both, tests revealed that concentration was higher in LUa than HUa. High levels of phycobiliproteins and proteins in this area probably reflect nitrogen accumulation. Frequency and severity of fibropapillomatosis suggest that urbanization-caused alterations in species diversity and in chemical composition of marine plants affect green turtles' health. Light abstract: The use of coastal areas by humanity is widespread and increasing. The impacts caused to the coastal environment, be it terrestrial, estuarine or marine, are important and affect numerous species. Our study evaluated the influence of environmental degradation on the nutritional value of the main algae eaten by the green turtle, one of the very few marine megaherbivores (those herbivores with body mass above 10 kg). Diet in the highly urbanized area was richer in proteins, lipids and carbohydrates (sugars) and lower in carotenoids (photosynthetic and photoprotectant pigments in algae and plants; precursors of vitamin A involved in oxygen transport in animals—animals do not synthetize such molecules). High levels in phycobiliproteins (photosynthetic pigments present in some algae) and proteins in the highly urbanized area probably result from organic pollution and nitrogen accumulation in coastal waters. Nitrogen compounds dissolved in water are a threat to vertebrates due to its toxicity and negative effects on the immune system. Our results suggest that algae chemical composition and severity of fibropapillomatosis (tumors caused by a herpesvirus in green sea turtles) are directly related through environmental alterations caused by urbanization.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01 We studied the catalytic and antimicrobial properties of hierarchical architecture of WO3.Ag synthesized at 100, 150, and 200 °C by a very simple and reliable hydrothermal technique. The investigation carried out by XRD showed the amorphous nature of sample grown at 100 °C, while those at 150 and 200 °C crystalline nature of 3D WO3.Ag was confirmed. From FESEM and HRTEM results, it was evident that the silver nanoparticles grew in a 3D WO3.Ag host matrix. The average diameter of Ag nanoparticles by HRTEM was around 5–15 nm. Photocatalytic activities of as-prepared samples were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). Samples prepared at 150 and 200 °C showed higher activity in comparison to sample prepared at 100 °C. This can be mainly attributed to the suppression of traps states and electron/hole pairs recombination as highlighted by the photoluminescence results. The as-synthetized samples showed promising antimicrobial features against various bacterial strains. The 100 °C WO3.Ag nanospheres exhibited the highest antibacterial activity, with very low minimum inibitory concentration (MIC) values (4.0–8.0 μg/ml) when compared with 150 and 200 °C samples.

Thus, identifying ecological thresholds is useful for defining regulatory limits and for guiding the management of riparian zones towards the conservation of freshwater biota. Using nationwide data on fish and invertebrates occurring in small Brazilian streams, we estimated thresholds of native vegetation loss in which there are abrupt changes in the occurrence and abundance of freshwater bioindicators and tested whether there are congruent responses among different biomes, biological groups and riparian buffer sizes. Mean thresholds of native vegetation cover loss varied widely among biomes, buffer sizes and biological groups: ranging from 0.5% to 77.4% for fish, from 2.9% to 37.0% for aquatic invertebrates and from 3.8% to 43.2% for a subset of aquatic invertebrates. Confidence intervals for thresholds were wide, but the minimum values of these intervals were lower for the smaller riparian buffers (50 and 100 m) than larger ones (200 and 500 m), indicating that land use should be kept away from the streams. Also, thresholds occurred at a lower percentage of riparian vegetation loss in the smaller buffers, and were critically lower for invertebrates: reducing only 6.5% of native vegetation cover within a 50-m riparian buffer is enough to cross thresholds for invertebrates. Synthesis and applications. The high variability in biodiversity responses to loss of native riparian vegetation suggests caution in the use of a single riparian width for conservation actions or policy definitions nationwide. The most sensitive bioindicators can be used as early warning signals of abrupt changes in freshwater biodiversity. In practice, maintaining at least 50-m wide riparian reserves on each side of streams would be more effective to protect freshwater biodiversity in Brazil. However, incentives and conservation strategies to protect even wider riparian reserves (~100 m) and also taking into consideration the regional context will promote a greater benefit. This information should be used to set conservation goals and to create complementary mechanisms and policies to protect wider riparian reserves than those currently required by the federal law.

RESUMO Levando em consideração a disparidade de negros no espaço acadêmico enquanto mundo do trabalho, este artigo buscou compreender como acontecem os comportamentos racistas e suas diferentes expressões no contexto universitário, considerando a vivência de docentes negros neste espaço. Para tanto, quanto a produção de dados, entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco docentes de uma universidade pública autodeclarados negros foram realizadas a partir de um roteiro semiestruturado. Por conseguinte, produziu-se quatro categorias através da metodologia de análise de conteúdo. Diante das análises e resultados, observou-se a incidência das três expressões de racismo: institucional, estrutural e individual. É ressaltado o racismo estrutural como sendo uma expressão sempre presente nos discursos, perpassando todas as outras.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-02-10 The Fundão dam collapse occurred in late 2015, resulting in the largest disaster in the world involving mine tailings, releasing at least 50 million m3 of iron ore tailings into the Doce river basin (Brazil). Studies realized along the Doce river after the disaster showed high concentrations of some elements above recommended Brazilian standards in different environmental matrices such as Al, Ba, Co, Fe, Hg, Mn, and Ni. This study aims to test the hypothesis that otolith microchemistry can be used as a pollution biomarker over time, that is, the otoliths sampled in the directly impacted area (Doce estuary) will present higher concentrations of the chemical elements in relation to the two other indirectly impacted estuaries (Ipiranga and São Mateus). The marine catfish Genidens genidens was chosen as a sentinel species, as this species presents several features that characterize it as a key species of the estuarine environment. The hypothesis was tested from a comparison between estuaries of the element/Ca ratios (Ba, Fe, and Mn) from the otolith edge (representing more recent deposition) and through the elemental composition profile, from core to edge of otolith. For the otolith edge analyses, it was possible to determine significant differences between estuaries in all three element:Ca ratios (Ba, Fe, and Mn). For the profile analysis (from core to edge), the Doce river showed consistent concentrations of Fe:Ca and Ba:Ca ratios higher than those of the Ipiranga and São Mateus estuaries throughout the life of the fish. In otoliths sampled in the Doce estuary, the possible identified peak of the Ba:Ca and Mn:Ca ratios, was probably associated with the Fundão Dam disaster. The present study showed that otolith microchemistry can be used as a sclerochronological biomarker of metallic aquatic pollution.

In this context, the dysfunctional scenario of cardiac calcium (Ca2+) handling has been poorly studied. An experimental model of aortic stenosis has been extensively used to improve knowledge about the key mechanisms of cardiac pathologic remodelling. Objective: To understand the dysfunctional process of the major components responsible for Ca2+ balance and its influence on cardiac function in heart failure induced by aortic stenosis. Methods: Male 21-day-old Wistar rats were distributed into two groups: control (sham; n= 28) and aortic stenosis (AoS; n= 18). Cardiac function was analysed by echocardiogram, isolated papillary muscle, and isolated cardiomyocytes. In the papillary muscle assay, SERCA2a and L-type Ca2+ channel activity was evaluated. The isolated cardiomyocyte assay evaluated Ca2+ handling. Ca2+ handling protein expression was analysed by western blot. Statistical significance was set at p

Despite that, this biome still includes many areas that are poorly known floristically, including several protected areas, such as the Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto (Flona do Rio Preto), located in the Brazilian State of Espírito Santo. This study used a published vascular plant species list for this protected area from the Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil as the basis to synthesise the species richness, endemism, conservation and new species occurrences found in the Flona do Rio Preto. New information The published list of vascular plants was based on field expeditions conducted between 2018 and 2020 and data obtained from herbarium collections available in online databases. Overall, 722 species were documented for the Flona do Rio Preto, 711 of which are native to Brazil and 349 are endemic to the Atlantic Forest. In addition, 60 species are geographically disjunct between the Atlantic and the Amazon Forests. Most of the documented species are woody and more than 50% of these are trees. Twenty-three species are threatened (CR, EN and VU), while five are Data Deficient (DD). Thirty-two species are new records for the State of Espirito Santo. Our results expand the knowledge of the flora of the Atlantic Forest and provide support for the development of new conservation policies for this protected area.

Background and purpose: The development of public policies must be guided by full knowledge of the health–disease process of the population. Aerobic exercises are recommended for rehabilitation in stroke patients, and have been shown to improve heart rate variability (HRV). Our aim was to compare the cardiac autonomic modulation of elderly stroke patients with that of healthy elderly people during and after an acute bout of aerobic exercise. Methods: A total of 60 elderly people participated in the study (30 in the control group, mean age of 67 ± 4 years, 30 in the stroke group, mean age of 69 ± 3 years). HRV was analyzed in rest—10 min of rest in supine position, exercise—the 30 min of peak exercise, and recovery—30 min in supine position post-exercise. Results: Taking rest and exercises together, for SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50, RRTri, and TINN, there was no difference between the stroke and control groups (p = 0.062, p = 0.601, p = 0.166, p = 0.224, and p = 0.059, respectively). The HF (ms2) was higher and the LF/HF ratio was lower for the stroke group than the control group (p &lt, 0.001 and p = 0.007, respectively). The SD2 was lower for the stroke group than for the control group (p = 0.041). Conclusion: Stroke patients present reduced variability at rest, sympathetic predominance during exercise, and do not return to baseline after the 30 min of recovery, with similar responses found in the healthy elderly group.

Considering applications where the use of non-parametric models that depend only on input and output data is required, this work proposes and details the GP-NARX model's use to approximate systems’ dynamics with hysteresis. Initially, the proposed model's predictive applicability is evaluated on a numerical application involving the Bouc-Wen oscillator with hysteretic damping. Then, this work proposes a GP-NARX model to describe the dynamics of the BERT benchmark, an experimental system that contains a symmetric double bolted joint that is nonlinearly dependent upon the applied excitation amplitudes, presenting as a friction joint's well-known softening effect. The structure also presents data variation related to the presence of uncertainties in the measurement process. Thus, to accommodate the experimental variability, the training step of the GP-NARX model considers several experimental realizations. The results indicate that GP-NARX can make accurate predictions of the response of both investigated applications, emphasizing its practical ability, where the confidence intervals of the proposed model were able to accommodate the noisy experimental data, learning the nonlinear relation between the input and output data points.

Objective: The legal provisions related to information access in Brazil materialize the obligations of public administration bodies in providing information of citizens interest, and must have effective and efficiency transparency mechanisms. In consideration of these premises, this article aims to analyze, through information access requests addressed to the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, between 2014 and 2019, how the instruments of active transparency, available on the agency's website, may be linked to the number of information requests. Method: This is a research with a qualitative approach, characterized as exploratory in terms of objectives and, in relation to procedures, as bibliographic and documentary. Result: The results demonstrate a drop, in the last two years, in the number of information requests to the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil, either by citizens and companies, which may be related to changes in the instruments of active transparency. Conclusions: It is concluded that the improvements in the information environments, which provided 95% of the services in virtual form in 2019, and also the effort in expending mechanisms of information management and active transparency, such as: the use of satisfaction surveys, the publication of full content of tax consultation, the corporate structure and administrators in registering legal entities and data from rural properties, may have contributed to reducing the information requests to the Federal Revenue of Brazil. Objetivo: Os dispositivos legais que versam sobre o acesso à informação no Brasil materializam as obrigações dos órgãos da administração pública de fornecerem informações de interesse dos cidadãos, devendo dispor de mecanismos eficazes e eficientes de transparência. Em consideração a essas premissas, o presente artigo visa a analisar, por meio das demandas de acesso à informação direcionadas à Secretaria da Receita Federal do Brasil, entre 2014 e 2019, como os instrumentos de transparência ativa, disponíveis no site do órgão, podem estar ligados ao quantitativo de pedidos de informação. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, caracterizada quanto aos objetivos como exploratória e, em relação aos procedimentos, como bibliográfica e documental. Resultado: Os resultados demonstram uma queda na quantidade de solicitações de informações à Secretaria da Receita Federal do Brasil por parte dos cidadãos e das empresas nos últimos dois anos, que podem estar relacionadas com as alterações nos instrumentos de transparência ativa. Conclusões: Conclui-se que as melhorias nos ambientes de informação, que propiciaram 95% dos atendimentos de forma virtual no ano de 2019, e a ampliação dos mecanismos de gestão da informação e transparência ativa, como a utilização de pesquisa de satisfação, a publicação do inteiro teor das soluções de consulta, do quadro societário e de administradores no cadastro das pessoas jurídicas e dos dados do cadastro de imóveis rurais, podem ter contribuído para a redução na demanda por pedidos de informação na Receita Federal do Brasil.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-08-01 This study aimed to obtain a better understanding of the regulatory genes and molecules involved in the development of mastitis. For this purpose, the transcription factors (TF) and MicroRNAs (miRNA) related to differentially expressed genes previously found in extracorporeal udders infected with Streptococcus agalactiae were investigated. The Gene-TF network highlighted LOC515333, SAA3, CD14, NFKBIA, APOC2 and LOC100335608 and genes that encode the most representative transcription factors STAT3, PPARG, EGR1 and NFKB1 for infected udders. In addition, it was possible to highlight, through the analysis of the gene-miRNA network, genes that could be post-transcriptionally regulated by miRNAs, such as the relationship between the CCL5 gene and the miRNA bta-miR-363. Overall, our data demonstrated genes and regulatory elements (TF and miRNA) that can play an important role in mastitis resistance. The results provide new insights into the first functional pathways and the network of genes that orchestrate the innate immune responses to infection by Streptococcus agalactiae. Our results will increase the general knowledge about the gene networks, transcription factors and miRNAs involved in fighting intramammary infection and maintaining tissue during infection and thus enable a better understanding of the pathophysiology of mastitis.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01 Mechanisms involved in cardiac function and calcium (Ca2+) handling in obese-resistant (OR) rats are still poorly determined. We tested the hypothesis that unsaturated high-fat diet (HFD) promotes myocardial dysfunction in OR rats, which it is related to Ca2+ handling. In addition, we questioned whether exercise training (ET) becomes a therapeutic strategy. Male Wistar rats (n=80) were randomized to standard or HFD diets for 20 weeks. The rats were redistributed for the absence or presence of ET and OR: control (C; n=12), control + ET (CET; n=14), obese-resistant (OR; n=9), and obese-resistant + ET (ORET; n=10). Trained rats were subjected to aerobic training protocol with progressive intensity (55–70% of the maximum running speed) and duration (15 to 60 min/day) for 12 weeks. Nutritional, metabolic, and cardiovascular parameters were determined. Cardiac function and Ca2+ handling tests were performed in isolated left ventricle (LV) papillary muscle. OR rats showed cardiac atrophy with reduced collagen levels, but there was myocardial dysfunction. ET was efficient in improving most parameters of body composition. However, the mechanical properties and Ca2+ handling from isolated papillary muscle were similar among groups. Aerobic ET does not promote morphological and cardiac functional adaptation under the condition of OR.

We seek to understand this process, establishing, as a decisive landmark, its arrival to official documents (which, in the concrete case under study, guide the school education process from a national curricular base, common to public and private networks). Then, we problematize the incorporation of Reading Strategies in the text of the National Common Curricular Base; in the conclusions, we point out that, to solve the problems of reading education in Brazil, and particularly the teaching of literary reading, the pedagogical work guided by the internalization and automatization of (meta)cognitive reading strategies need to be overcome.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-11-11 This study on the 2018 Russia FIFA World Cup examined: i) the potential variations of ball possession, match running performance, player prominence, team network properties according to match outcome and playing formation; and ii) the relationships between player prominence and total distance covered according to team ball possession. Sixty-one matches were analysed (n = 988 player observations). Running performance was examined using total distance covered in (TDIP) and out of possession, and that travelled in different speed-range categories. Player prominence (micro) and team network properties (macro) were obtained using social network analysis where completed passes between teammates were counted (n = 28,019 passes). Main findings were: i) with the exception of clustering coefficients which indicate the level of interconnectivity between close teammates (win = draw > loss), match outcome was unaffected by ball possession, running and network measures; iii) teams employing a1-4-2-3-1 formation reported greater values for ball possession, TDIP, and micro/macro network measures compared to those playing 1-4-4-2 and 1-4-3-3 formations; iv) TDIP tended to be related to most player prominence variables, even though the magnitude of coefficients varied considerably according to network measures and playing positions. This study has provided additional insights into elite soccer match-play performance.
