PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF COTTON CULTIVARS IN WEST PAULISTA

Cotton varieties develop differently because they present different physiological characteristics in production environments. This study aimed to know the physiological characteristics of cotton. The experiment was carried out at the São Paulo Agribusiness Technology Agency (APTA), Alta Paulista region. The experimental design used was Entirely Randomized (DIC), with six cotton cultivars: IMA5801B2RF; FM975WS; TMG47B2RF; TMG81WS; FM944GL and IACRDN. Where the following physiological parameters were determined: Assimilation rate CO2, leaf transpiration, stomatal conductance, internal concentration of CO2 in the substomatic chamber and efficient use of water. The cotton varieties showed different physiological characteristics, the IMA5801B2RF variety had the lowest performance, which may reflect low productivity. Further physiological studies are needed to understand the Cotton varieties behavior

Crop yield and physical and chemical characteristics of acerola clones grown in the Alta Paulista region, Brazil

This paper aimed to evaluate crop yield and physical and chemical characteristics of acerola (Malpighia emarginataSessé & Mociño ex DC) clones grown in the Alta Paulista region, Brazil. The evaluationcomprised 7 clones, namely: Olivier, BRS 238-Frutacor, BRS 236-Cereja, BRS 235-Apodi, BRS 237-Roxinha, Okinawa,and Waldy-CATI 30, studiedfrom October 2018 to April 2019. Crop yield was analyzed based on the accumulated production of 12 harvests, withfresh massexpressedin kg fruit·plant-1. Considering the capacity of30 harvests per plant within thecomplete croppingperiod, total fruit mass (in kg fruit·plant-1) and crop yield (in tha-1) were estimated. Samples were collected from 4 of the 12 harvests in order to determineaverage fruit mass (g); average fruit size, fruitheight/diameter ratio, and pulp yield (%). Regarding fruit pulp, the analysis consisted of quantifying the soluble solids, expressed in degrees Brix, and the technological index (i.e. pulp yield x °Brix/100). The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with 7 treatments and 4 repetitions. The obtained data were statistically processed by analysis of variance using the F test, and the means were compared using the Tukey’stest at the 0.05 significance level. The study concluded that, given the soil and weather conditions of the Alta Paulistaregion, Olivier, Apodi and Frutacor are the clones mainly recommended for the agro-industrial market, being the Olivier cultivar the first option among the three and appearing in a greater proportion in the area of the commercial orchard studied. Regarding the acerola production for fresh consumption, Olivier and Roxinha are the most suitable clones. Olivier stands out for its good fruit yield, adequate physical and chemical characteristics, and easy manual harvesting.

Potencial produtivo de híbridos de mamona em diferentes densidades de plantas na segunda safra em ambiente estressante

A mamona (Ricinus communis L.) tem proporcionado relevância no plano agroindustrial do país pela qualidade do óleo produzido. A obtenção de híbridos adaptados às condições de cultivo em segunda safra e com características apropriadas ao cultivo mecanizado é visado através do melhoramento. Assim sendo, o trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar híbridos precoces de mamona em função de populações de plantas cultivados na região da Nova Alta Paulista em segunda safra. Adotou-se o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 3x4, sendo três híbridos de mamona (AGIMA 110204, MIA e TAMAR) e quatro densidades de plantas por metro linear (2, 4, 6 e 8), com quatro repetições por tratamento. No dia 12 de abril de 2017 aconteceu a semeadura na fazenda de pesquisa da UNESP/FCAT – Campus de Dracena. As avaliações de desenvolvimento de plantas e características reprodutivas foram realizadas aos 138 dias após a emergência das plantas (DAE). Altura de plantas, números de racemos por planta, massa de cem grãos e leitura SPAD de clorofila nos tratamentos testados tiveram médias semelhantes. O híbrido TAMAR apresentou a maior altura de inserção do primeiro racemo, e junto com o hibrido MIA tiveram os maiores racemos produzidos. O diâmetro do caule de todos os híbridos apresentou redução linear em função do aumento da população de plantas na linha de semeadura. A produtividade de grãos dos híbridos foi de 1.784 kg ha-1 (TAMAR), 1.659 kg ha-1 (AGIMA 110204) e 1.547 kg ha-1 (MIA).

Representação do punk rock paulista em capas de disco

A proposta deste artigo é analisar as formas de representação do punk rock de São Paulo e da região do ABC paulista nas imagens das capas de discos long playing (LP). As noções de representação e cultura, a partir de Stuart Hall (2016), e texto cultural e semiosfera, de Iuri Lotman (1996), serão as bases para oentendimento da capa enquanto elemento cultural de mediação. 26 discoscompõem o corpus analisado, sendo três coletâneas seminais do movimento e 23 lançados por sete bandas paulistas importantes na década de 1980 e início de 1990: Cólera, Garotos Podres, Inocentes, Mercenárias, Olho Seco, Ratos de Porão e Restos de Nada. As representações ocorrem em imagens figurativas e abstratas de quatro maneiras básicas: colagem e estética “suja”; figuração do personagem punk; imagens de violência, abjeção e tensão; críticas ao capitalismo e à sociedade de consumo.

Integridade ecológica de propriedades agrícolas de produtores orgânicos na região do Vale do Paraíba Paulista

A agricultura e a pecuária têm sido os principais motores do desmatamento nos biomas brasileiros, incluindo a Mata Atlântica, onde restam apenas cerca de 12% de sua área original. A retirada da vegetação nativa impacta na manutenção da biodiversidade local e nos serviços ecossistêmicos. Dessa forma, a agroecologia propõe a conciliação entre a conservação da biodiversidade, a manutenção da produtividade e a capacidade do ecossistema de se autossustentarem. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a integridade ecológica de sete propriedades agroecológicas na região do Vale do Paraíba Paulista, por meio de indicadores de duas categorias (fatores e atributos ecológicos), cujos resultados indicaram estarem em boas condições de integridade. Os aceiros e a restauração florestal de áreas sem cobertura vegetal podem contribuir ainda mais para a conservação das propriedades.

In this work, the MATLAB and ADVISOR software were used for modeling and simulation. Simulations were carried out using three driving cycles that represent the conditions of running in: a highway, a highway with an ascent of mountain and city, all conditions being based on routes in the Vale do Paraiba Paulista region. At the end of the proposed simulation models, a comparison was made between the proposed energy storage system models considering gear ratio and driving cycles based on electric vehicle model under development.

DESTERRITORIALIZAÇÃO E RETERRITORILIZAÇÃO DAS RELAÇÕES DE TRABALHO NO CAMPO NO SUDOESTE PAULISTA: A QUESTÃO ENTRE OS TRABALHADORES DA CITRICULTURA E OS CAMPONESES PRODUTORES DE LEITE

Este artigo é fruto de uma série de pesquisas realizadas pelo autor e neste momento apresentamos uma síntese relacionando os processos contraditórios e intrínsecos ao capital nas quais promovem dialeticamente a desterritorialização camponesa e ao mesmo tempo, mas em outro fenômeno, a sua reterritorialização. Demonstrando a relação entre capital e campesinato, como modos de produção distintos, mas vinculados em uma dialética de destruição e recriação. Certamente este estudo não tem a prerrogativa de responder a todas questões pertinentes a relação entre capital e campesinato. Mas sim, focar nos fenômenos presenciados na região Sudoeste Paulista, mais especificamente na Região Geográfica Imediata de Avaré (IBGE, 2017). Tendo como justificativa a presença marcante de atividades citricultoras e camponeses pecuaristas de gado leiteiro. Assim, iremos relacionar os processos de territorialização do capital e monopolização do território pelo capital e suas expressões na configuração da fração do território a partir das relações de trabalho. Essa categoria foi escolhida, uma vez que iremos demonstrar como que as relações de exploração do trabalho assalariado na citricultura e a subordinação do trabalho camponês com a sujeição de sua produção a indústria, mesmo que se aparentem como expressões do capital no campo, contraditoriamente agem para a recriação camponesa.

Urban climate assessment in the ABC Paulista Region of São Paulo, Brazil

This article aims to map the urban climate in the ABC Paulista (ABCP) region, which is located in the southeast area of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP), Brazil. More than 80% of the ABCP urban area comprises the municipalities of Santo André (SA), São Bernardo do Campo (SBC), São Caetano do Sul (SCS), Mauá (MA), Diadema (DIA), and Ribeirão Pires. Considering a four-year dataset (2015–2018), higher urban heat island (HI) intensities were found in the spring (3.7 °C) and summer (3.2 °C), in DIA and SCS, and these HI intensities were associated with extreme thermal discomfort in the afternoon. More intense and concentrated rainfall patterns over a shorter period were identified in ABCP, especially in DIA and SCS. An analysis of O3 and PM10 at fixed pollutant monitoring stations identified SBC as having the largest number of days with O3 concentrations beyond the standards; meanwhile, SCS significantly exceeded the PM10 standards. The traffic and transportation simulation tool, Equilibre Multimodal/Multimodal Equilibrium which was used to estimate emissions from mobile sources, identified SCS as having the highest emissions rates for CO2, CO, HC and PM10. Analysis of the rainwater composition in Capuava (located along boundary of SA and MA) and Paranapiacaba (an environmental preservation area of SA) identified that a major contribution of strong acids and heavy metals in Capuava possibly originated from the Capuava Petrochemical Complex. Meanwhile, the main source of pollutants in Paranapiacaba was from the industrial city of Cubatão. Principal component analysis identified the first three components, which explained 80.7% of the total variance of the data and the main urban climate processes. The HI intensity was associated with thermal discomfort; moreover, the PCA showed the inverse correlation between the number of days that O3 and PM10 exceeded the limits with low relative humidity and no precipitation.

Development of technology-based firms of the Vale do Paraíba Paulista region: survey with incubators managers and incubated companies

Abstract Technology-based firms are small businesses that are characterized by being related to innovation and technological development in production and services. These companies for a period of time receive support calls based Technology-based incubators. The objective of this study was to analyze the degree of importance perceived by managers of Technology-based firms and managers of Technology-based incubators of the factors that contribute to the development of Technology-based firms of the Vale do Paraíba Paulista Region. The following factors were analyzed: entrepreneurial characteristics, resources offered by Technology-based incubators, features offered in partnership with other development agents and selection requirements of Technology-based incubators by the Technology-based firms. One for the five managers of the Technology-based incubators and the other for twenty-five managers of Technology-based firms. For this, a survey in June 2011 was applied and two questionnaires divided into four parts was performed. The Vale do Paraíba Paulista Region was chosen to concentrate an important Industrial and Technological Pole, which stands out by strong economic growth, located between the axis of two major Brazilian cities, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The completion of the work enabled visualize how technology-based entrepreneurship has been practiced in the region Vale do Paraíba Paulista present important information in the region in 2011. It also allowed me to analyze the perception of managers regarding the factors considered.

THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF CLIMATE AND SOCIOECONOMIC VULNERABILITY IN THE ABC PAULISTA REGION

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the socio-economic, demographic, health and climatic vulnerabilities in the ABC Paulista region that comprises the municipalities of Santo André, São Caetano do Sul, São Bernardo do Campo, Mauá, Diadema, Rio Grande da Serra and Ribeirão Pires. The vulnerabilities were analyzed through the construction of indices based on the aggregation of indicators collected in the IBGE census and climate indices of extreme rainfall. The municipalities of Diadema and Mauá were identified as the most vulnerable areas to heavy rains, presenting an increasing trend of days with moderate and intense rainfall (50 mm and 80 mm). In addition, these municipalities presented higher socio-economic and urban-demographic vulnerabilities, as a consequence of asymmetric social and economic development, poor environmental management and accelerated unplanned urbanization. Therefore, all these issues contributed to enhance the impact of heavy rains.

Lay agency and the generation of public-private mix health care maps.

This paper discusses part of the results obtained from a study carried out in two cities of the so-called ABCD Paulista Region in the period 2010-2012, in an attempt to spot the existence of non-state regulatory rationale towards access and consumption of health care services. The first stage includes interviews carried out with strategic stakeholders (managers and politicians) and key workers players. The second stage collected the stories of 18 very frequent users of health care services. This study revealed the leading role played by users to produce "health care maps", with emphasis on the frequent use of public and private resources in their itineraries, circumventing or merging with government regulation to obtain the care they need. The different formats of public-private mix transcend the still prevailing "official" concepts about the clear distinction between the two systems, which reveals the importance of this theme to public health management.

Analise critica do processo de emergencia do perfil metalurgico jovem adulto do ABC Paulista: Revisitando as contribuicoes de E.P. Thompson

In this article we will discuss, based on the contributions of E.P. Thompson, the profile of the flexible found in companies in the ABC Paulista region, their habits, their daily life and moral values of the defining traits of this new social metallurgical segment. We are interested in apprehending the reasons of the conflicts between the flexible workers and the old guard in light of lived and acquired experiences that are part of the elements of subjectivity of the flexible generation workers. In contrast to the economic / mechanistic interpretation of history, we will examine the process of flexibilization of the production process looking bare the elements, related to workers' daily lives, that are on the base of the definition of the personal life processes, distinct and guidable historical collective trajectories of the divergent attitudes related to the moral values and standards of conduct inside the way of doing-living-realizing of this new segment of the proletariat.

Fifteen Years Trend Of Maternal Mortality In The Great Abc Paulo

Brazil adopted measures in order to reduce maternal mortality (MM). The Grande ABC Paulista region may reflect the social inequality of the country but with greater control of the mortality data. Objectives: To evaluate the MM in the Grande ABC Paulista from 1997 to 2011. Methods: Ecological time series study. MM obtained from DATASUS was transformed into DMMR (Direct Maternal Mortality Rate), stratified by municipalities, HDI (human development index), causes of death and sociodemographic data. Comparative and associative tests and 5% alpha were applied. Results: The DMMR predominated in singles, 20 to 34 years old, white, 4 to 7 years of schooling, in the hospital, postpartum, by bleeding/thrombosis/embolism and eclampsia, independently of HDI groups. Rio Grande da Serra presented the highest DMMR. São Caetano do Sul showed a predominance of Indirect MM (p=0,02), fall of DMMR in 15 years (-0,67/year, p=0,03), a downward trend in this millennium (-0,55/year, p=0,07) and an estimative of 65% fall by 2015. Ignored, inconsistent or not informed deaths and uninvestigated records presented high DMMR. Conclusion: The MM in the studied region is underreported and is independent from the HDI. Only São Caetano do Sul reduced the DMMR in 15 years with a declining trend in this millennium.

OUTCOMES OF ACCIDENTS AT WORK WITH EXPOSURE

Introduction: In the labour process there are several occupational hazard risks that present themselves invisibly to workers. Occupational exposure to biological material via sharps is high among health workers. Biosafety is an integral part of safety and occupational hygiene. The risk of contamination by biological material is inherent in anything exposed to it, but it varies according to the activities undertaken by workers. Objective: To characterise the outcomes of accidents at work involving the exposure of workers to biological agents, in the ABC Paulista region. Methods: This was a descriptive study using a convenience sample from three municipalities in the Grande ABC region: Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo and São Caetano do Sul. The data was sourced from 47 records of reported accidents with biological material in the Greater ABC region in the year 2012. The data was processed and tabulated in the statistical program SPSS 19. We used notification records and obtained the profiles of the injured workers and characteristics of the accident, according to gender, age, county of residence, profession, occupation, type of exposure, material involved, the situation of the agent causing the accident, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) equipment, and communication about the work accident (CAT). Results: The incidence of accidents with sharps was related to the frequent handling of these objects and the behaviour of professionals who use practices that pose the risk of needlestick injuries, such as the improper disposal of sharps. Conclusion: The main cause of biological accidents was sharps. Females (70.2 %) and nursing staff (63.8 %) were more likely to be involved in accidents.

Aspectos Históricos e Organizacionais da Agricultura Familiar no Desenvolvimento da Região Nova Alta Paulista

Nova Alta Paulista region, with strong aptitude for agribusiness, is one of the poorest in the state of Sao Paulo. However, the development of agribusiness productive chains in the region is very heterogeneous. The study aimed at analyzing how the historical background and organizational arrangements in family farming have contributed to regional development by promoting improvements in social welfare at Nova Alta Paulista region. To this end, we analyzed the case of the Associacao Agricola de Junqueiropolis - AAJ, an organization that has been successful in the search for alternative of agricultural production. Integrated to local and global market, this organization has ensured the maintenance of many farmers and generated positive externalities for the entire region. Thus, this case shows the organizational arrangement based on cooperation can be an alternative for family farmers achieve higher levels of welfare and development.

A relação entre atividades do gerenciamento por categoria e a satisfação de clientes de supermercados

Category Management (CM) is a reality in large supermarket chains and has provided several benefits to consumers and retailers, such as: better exposure/supply, greater variety of brands/sizes, competitive pricing and efficient promotions in order to reduce inventory and to increase turnovers, profitability and, at the same time, provide greater customer satisfaction. In the available literature, there are no attempts to measure the satisfaction related to levels of services offered by supermarkets that apply CM. The problem situation of this article came from the observation that, on the one hand, the implementation and operation of CM are targeted towards customer satisfaction but, on the other hand, cannot identify the degree of satisfaction provided by the services offered. This study aimed to relate CM with the satisfaction of supermarket customers. We conducted a field survey of a descriptive nature with a random sample of 250 consumers residing in the ABC Paulista region responsible for decisions and purchases of personal care and beauty products in supermarkets. For results analysis we adopted the technique of multiple linear regressions, as it is the appropriate technique when the research problem involves a single metric dependent variable related to other two or more metric independent variables. Although the concept of satisfaction is complex, making it impossible to enumerate all the possible variables connected to it, it was possible to identify the important aspects taken care of by CM in the composition of consumer satisfaction.Key words: financial statements analysis, indices, solvency, declaratory accounting core, Rough Sets Theory.

Prison Labor and the Socioeconomic Reinsertion of the Former Inmates: The Case about the Regional Penitentiary Complex of Nova Alta Paulista, Sao Paulo

This study presents the results of an empirical research that was made based on the Nova Alta Paulista region in Sao Paulo, about the deployment in the decentralization of the Prison System after the deactivation of “Complexo Carandiru” in Sao Paulo. Surveys and interviews that were conducted during the process indicate that the main motive that took the mayors who supported the construction of these prisons was an aggravated economic stagnation in the 90´s. The idea was that the construction of these prisons would provide jobs and profit for the cities, during both the construction process and afterwards as well, through the hiring of penitentiary agents, and outsourced companies in order to fulfill the needs of the prisons. A decade later, there are visible changes in the day to day of the referenced cities, related to the prison’s work executed by inmates and the socio-economical reinsertion of the former inmates and their families into the system.
