The aim of this study was to propose a model of pre-harvest fruit quality as a function of weather conditions in the cultivation area. Twenty trees were flagged per farm in 2 localities of the Department of Cundinamarca, Colombia: Measurements were performed every 7 days during 2 harvest periods starting on days 96 Tenjo and 99 San Francisco de Sales after anthesis and until harvest.
The results showed that altitude, growing degree days, and accumulated precipitation are the weather variables with the highest influence on the physicochemical characteristics of the fruit during growth. The models of fresh weight, total titratable acidity, and skin firmness better predict the development of fruit quality during growth and development. Equations were obtained for increases of length and diameter as a function of fruit weight and for days from anthesis as a function of growing degree days and altitude.
The regression analysis parameters showed that the models adequately predicted the fruit characteristics during growth for both localities, and a cross-validation analysis showed a good statistical fit between the estimated and observed values.

Brazilian guava, native fruit tree from Southern Brazil, has become relevant due to its potencial use as ecological and comercial. This article aims evaluate the physiological quality of Brazilian guava seeds by tetrazolium test. The work was divided in two parts. In the first, both lots were submitted to the germination test, index of speed germination, mean time of germination, emergency of seedlings in greenhouse, mean time of emergency and shoot length of seedlings.
In the second part it was performed the tetrazolium test. Two concentrations of tetrazolium were used 0,5 e 1,0 and two times of imbibition 2 h e 4 h. For the germination test there has been positive correlation for 0,5 TZ 2 h and 1 TZ 2 h treatments. Emergency of seedlings in greenhouse was correlated only to 0,5 TZ 2 h. The Tetrazolium Test has allowed to rank the lots in four classes of viability, confirming the eficiency of the test to evaluate the viability of Brazilian Guava seeds.
Manlighet, mod och moral: Amanda Kerfstedts Carl Bergs skoltid. This article pertains that the text contrasts an ideal of masculinity based on physical strength with an ideal emphasizing morality. Although a true man, as described in the story, is expected to be strong as well as righteous, the moral component is the most important. The text shows that courage and force, which are not checked by a sense of ethics, may turn into brutality and abuse of power. The association with women is utilized to stress a lack of courage in men as well as to redefine a masculine ideal that has focused too much on physical prowess instead of strength of character.
The effect of different growth regimes on the endophytic bacterial communities of the fern, Dicksonia sellowiana hook Dicksoniaceae. Endophytic bacteria associated with the fern Dicksonia sellowiana were investigated. The bacterial communities from the surface-sterilized pinnae and rachis segments of the plants from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest that grew in native field conditions were compared with the bacterial communities from plants grown in greenhouses and plants that were initially grown in greenhouses and then transferred to the forest.
From pinnae and rachis segments, Standardized extract of Dicksonia sellowiana Presl. Hook Dicksoniaceae decreases oxidative damage in cultured endothelial cells and in rats. A phytomedicinal preparation obtained from aerial parts of Dicksonia sellowiana Dicksoniaceae , a native plant from Central and South America, has been widely used in Brazil against asthma and presents beneficial effects in several other diseases, including cardiovascular disturbance.
In this work, we investigated whether Dicksonia sellowiana , which is also known to contain high levels of polyphenols, presents antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of the hydroalcoholic extract obtained from Dicksonia sellowiana leaves HEDS was investigated by in vitro and in vivo tests.
In addition, HEDS protected cell membrane from oxidative damage. According to our results, we can speculate that the traditional uses of Dicksonia sellowiana for cardiovascular diseases, asthma and skin diseases could be, at least in part, related to the potent antioxidant and endothelial protective activities of the plant. Full Text Available Due to its history of exploitation and intensive use in landscaping, the Dicksonia sellowiana Hook. Dicksoniaceae is currently one of the Brazilian flora endangered species.

Hyperglycemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, as it increases protein glycation, as well as the progressive accumulation of advanced glycation end products AGEs , which are complex structures that produce fluorescence.
The oxidation of proteins was determined by the carbonyl protein content and thiol groups. The results show that the hexane extract of Acca sellowiana FOH at different concentrations 0. Our results showed a significant effect of FOH in the prevention of oxidative damage of proteins, as well as an effect on the oxidation of thiol groups and carbonyl proteins. The present study indicates that FOH is effective in inhibiting the glycation of proteins in vitro, so it can prevent or ameliorate the chronic conditions of diabetes associated with the formation of AGEs.
Full Text Available Endophytic bacteria associated with the fern Dicksonia sellowiana were investigated. The main bacterial genera and species that were isolated included Bacillus spp. Amphibacillus and Gracilibacillus were reported as endophytes for the first time.
Other commonly found bacterial genera were not observed in D. Plants that were grown in greenhouses and plants that were reintroduced into the forest displayed more bacterial genera and species diversity than native field plants, suggesting that reintroduction shifts the bacterial diversity. Endophytic bacteria that displayed antagonistic properties against different microorganisms were detected, but no obvious correlation was found between their frequencies with plant tissues or with plants from different growth regimes.
This paper reports the first isolation of endophytic bacteria from a fern. Anti-diabetic effects of Campomanesia xanthocarpa Berg leaf decoction.

In addition, this effect was partially inhibited by indomethacin a cyclooxygenase inhibitor and KT a PKA inhibitor. The potassium channels blockade by either tetraethylammonium or charybdotoxin also resulted in a potent inhibition of HEDS-induced aortic relaxation, whereas apamine only slightly reduced it.
In addition HEDS-induced relaxation was unchanged by 4-amynopiridine and glibenclamide. The selective muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine counteracted both aortic relaxation and blood pressure reduction generated by HEDS. Experiments using HPLC revealed the presence of high amounts of phenolic compounds in this extract. Taken together, our results reveal that the D. Subsuming the La Berge and Samuels Model.

Variability in the germination of spores among and within natural populations of the endangered tree fern Dicksonia sellowiana Hook. Full Text Available The objective of this study was to analyze the existing variability in the germination of individuals' spores collected from two natural populations of Dicksonia sellowiana in southern Brazil. The largest intrapopulational variation was observed for the spores germination. These results suggested the existence of adaptative strategies that favored the gradual and continuous entrance of new individuals into the gametophytic population.
The behavior of the individuals of the species within each population followed a similar pattern of initial development, in spite of conspicuous differences in the population structure. This showed a low differentiation between the populations and the existence of adaptative strategies which were common to both communities. O Xaxim Dicksonia sellowiana Hook.

Full Text Available The subfamily Triatominae is actually represented by species distributed among 6 tribes and 19 genera.
Within this subfamily, the genus Panstrongylus, Berg , is composed by 13 species widespread in sylvatic, peridomestic, and domestic habitats of Neotropical regions. These species are vectors of Chagas disease and consequently are found associated with its main hosts, such as birds and mammals. Interest in species of this genus has been increasing in the last few years.
Reports of several authors indicate these Triatominae to invade and colonize houses, increasing their epidemiological significance. Morphometry was used in this study to investigate correlations among possible closely related species. We measured specimens among 13 species through a set of metric variables of the head.
The results indicated that the genus Panstrongylus seems to be homogeneous since 10 of the 14 species were shown to be closely related. Normative scores on the Berg Balance Scale decline after age 70 years in healthy community-dwelling people: What is the mean Berg Balance Scale score of healthy elderly people living in the community and how does it vary with age?

Berg 's contributions to the study of phenotypic integration, with a professional biographical sketch. Berg had a remarkable career in many respects and an impact on the study of phenotypic integration that continues to increase over 50 years after the publication of her seminal paper in that area. She was born and lived most of her life in Russia, with most of her research focused on measuring spontaneous mutation rates in Drosophila.
She was forced to abandon this work during the height of Lysenko's power in Russia, so she turned temporarily to the study of correlation patterns in plants; ironically, this work has had a more enduring impact than her main body of research. She showed that floral and vegetative traits become decoupled into separate correlation 'pleiades' in plants with specialized pollinators, but floral and vegetative traits remain correlated in plants that have less specialized pollination.
Unfortunately, her plant work is often mis-cited as providing evidence for increased correlations among floral traits due to selection by pollinators for functional integration, a point she never made and one that is not supported by her data. Still, many studies of correlation pleiades have been conducted in plants, with the results mostly supporting Berg 's hypothesis, although more studies on species with generalized pollination are needed.
The Berg Balance Scale has high intra- and inter-rater reliability but absolute reliability varies across the scale: What is the intra-rater and inter-rater relative reliability of the Berg Balance Scale? What is the absolute reliability of the Berg Balance Scale? Does the absolute reliability of the Berg Balance Scale vary across the scale?
Systematic review with meta-analysis of reliability studies. Any clinical population that has undergone assessment with the Berg Balance Scale. Relative intra-rater reliability, relative inter-rater reliability, and absolute reliability. Eleven studies involving participants were included in the review. The relative intrarater reliability of the Berg Balance Scale was high, with a pooled estimate of 0. Relative inter-rater reliability was also high, with a pooled estimate of 0. A ceiling effect of the Berg Balance Scale was evident for some participants.
In the analysis of absolute reliability, all of the relevant studies had an average score of 20 or above on the 0 to 56 point Berg Balance Scale. The Berg Balance Scale has a higher absolute reliability when close to 56 points due to the ceiling effect. We identified no data that estimated the absolute reliability of the Berg Balance Scale among participants with a mean score below 20 out of The Berg Balance Scale has acceptable reliability, although it might not detect modest, clinically important changes in balance in individual subjects.
The review was only able to comment on the absolute reliability of the Berg Balance Scale among people with moderately poor to normal balance.

Antioxidant activity and profile fatty acids of jabuticaba seeds Myrciaria cauliflora berg. Numerous natural compounds found in fruits, grains and vegetables have antioxidant activity. This work aimed to characterize jabuticaba seeds Myrciaria cauliflora berg by proximate composition, antioxidant activity and fatty acids profile of their extracted oil. To obtain the extract, the dehydrated and triturated seeds were extracted with ethyl alcohol for 30 min, at a proportion of 1: Afterwards, the mixture was filtered and the supernatant dehydrated at 40 Celsius degrade aiming to determine, by direct weighing, the extracts dry matter yield.
According to the results, the jabuticaba seeds are an important source of total carbohydrates, and also presented relevant antioxidant activity. Berg is native to Brazil and its fruits are harvested by extraction for fresh consumption in the state of Sergipe Brazil. Two hundred fruits and seeds were biometrically analyzed.
Two different skin colors were found: The seeds have only one color, green [yellow-green group A] with dark stripes [Brown group C]. The fruits mean diameter was 9. The seeds mean diameter was 5. The biometry had a high variability as expected, because it is a native species without any type of management. Foram analisados frutos e sementes biometricamente. Foram identificados duas cores diferentes para a fruta: Influence of drying temperature on the chemical constituents of jaboticaba Plinia Jaboticaba Vell.
Full Text Available Jaboticaba is a fruit native to Brazil. The use of the skin waste adds value to the fruit. However, one of the drawbacks of skin storage is the high water content, which requires drying processes to preserve the skin without leading to the loss of nutrients and antioxidants. The influence of different drying temperatures on the levels of nutrients and antioxidants was investigated.
Jaboticaba Plinia jaboticaba Vell. The skins were then ground, stored protected from light and subjected to analysis of proximate composition, vitamin C, phytate, polyphenols, anthocyanins and antioxidant activity. The drying process had little effect on the proximate composition of the flour, presenting significant difference only for crude protein, fiber and non-nitrogenous extract.
The greatest preservation of chemical constituents occurs in the lyophilized jaboticaba skins. Prospect of Milicia excelsa Welw. Berg for Multi-Tree Species Agroforestry. Full Text Available Background and Purpose: The population of most of our economically indigenous tree species in Nigeria is declining. Human activities and agricultural practices have been the ultimate contributors to this decrease.
In order to ameliorate the conflict between agriculture and forestry, agroforestry was introduced. However, most of the practiced agroforestry is based on single tree species. Agroforestry practiced using single tree species have been reported to be ecologically staggered and therefore it is pertinent that phytosociology of trees with agroforestry potential is studied in order to improve the sustainability of human livelihood.
The data were collected on Milicia excelsa Welw. Berg by enumerating the tree species and also by identifying and enumerating the tree species associated with the subject tree Milicia excelsa. Statistical analysis was done using percentages, Chi-square and charts. A total of 49 individual Milicia excelsa were encountered in the study area. The results show 31 woody tree species associated with Milicia excelsa. Of all the associates Azadirachta indica A. The sex ratio of Milicia excelsa was discovered to be approximately 1: Based on the obtained results of this research it may be concluded that Milicia excelsa has the prospect of being used in agroforestry in multi-tree species systems.
Full Text Available This article aims at evaluating the effects of different packaging and varied storage temperatures on the germination potential of seeds of Campomanesia adamantium Camb. Seed moisture contents were evaluated both before and after storage, as well as germination percentages, germination speed index, root and aerial portion of seedlings lengths, and total dry weights. All possible combinations of packing materials, temperatures and storage times were tested, with four repetitions of 25 seeds for each treatment.
Glass and aluminum packaging were efficient at maintaining the water content of the seeds, and provided greater germination speed index than the other packaging materials. Germination percentages, seedlings lengths and dry weights did not vary among the different temperatures tested. Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Berg Balance Scale.

Full Text Available Abstract The loss of leaves by plant species found in the Cerrado Brazilian savanna is an energetically expensive process due to adverse environmental conditions and predation by herbivory. The mature leaves have adaptations which minimize these events. However, the young individuals lack these structures and produce high leaf concentrations of secondary metabolites as a form of protection.
These compounds can be used in bioprospection of natural herbicides. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the phytotoxicity of hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts of young leaves from Blepharocalyx salicifolius Kunth O. Berg on the elongation of wheat coleoptiles Triticum aestivum L. The hexane and ethyl acetate extracts inhibited the elongation of wheat coleoptiles at all concentrations; however, the most promising results were observed in coleoptile fragments treated with the ethyl acetate extract.
This treatment changed the mean germination time and the synchrony of sesame seeds, inhibited the growth of shoots and roots, reduced the dry weight of seedlings, led to abnormalities in the seedlings and reduced the length of the metaxylem cells in the sesame seedlings. These results demonstrated the phytotoxic potential of young leaf extracts of B. Seedling emergence of an array of Campomanesia adamantium Cambess. Berg , under different conditions. Campomanesia adamantium are shrubs with berries that are yellow when ripe, with sweet, aromatic and juicy pulp.
The fruits are very appreciated by the Midwestern Brazilian population because, beyond the economic potential, gabirobeiras have important ecological and medicinal applications. The few reports concerning methods of C. The objective of this study was to evaluate the inluence of different substrates and seed pulp extraction methods on seedling emergence of C. Seeds were collected from a single individual. The experiment tested four methods of seed pulp extraction: Four different substrates per pulp extraction type were then used for planting: Sand was the substrate that produced the best result for seedling emergence, however there were no significant differences in seedling emergence between seed processing methods.
The presence of seed pulp did not impact percent seedling emergence, nor did it affect average time or speed of seedling emergence. Fruits were harvested at commercial maturity.

Black workers, typhoid fever and the construction of the Berg River — Saldanha military water pipeline, — Full Text Available War creates a huge need for labour to support the war efforts of the belligerent parties.
Secondly, it briefly delineates typhoid fever as an historical thorn in the flesh of military forces up to the early 20th century. It then looks briefly into the incidence of and perceptions on typhoid fever as a killer disease in South Africa on the eve of the Second World War.
The article concludes that the public health authorities and UDF were aware of the threat of typhoid fever with regard to the Berg River water scheme, but did not take sufficient precautionary measures, which could have had serious repercussions for the Allied war effort. Dust abatement in mining and tunnelling - status report; Stand der Technik bei der Staubbekaempfung im Berg - und Tunnelbau. Health and safety have priority in underground mining, especially dust and silicosis prevention in mining and tunnelling.
While silicosis is not considered as an occupational disease in the strict sense, it is well known that most silicosis cases occur in these industries. Wenn auch bei der Silikose nicht ausschliesslich von einer unter Tagespezifischen Berufskrankheit gesprochen werden kann, so entfaellt doch der ueberwiegende Teil der auftretenden Krankheitsfaelle auf diese Industriezweige.

Scolicidal agents are important in the treatment of cystic echinococcosis. This study evaluated the scolicidal activity of the plant Blepharocalyx salicifolius H. Berg against Echinococcus ortleppi protoscoleces. The parasite species was identified by amplifying a fragment of the gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 COX 1. Gallic acid, identified as the major compound of the ethyl acetate fraction- was responsible for the observed scolicidal activity.
The results showed that crude extract and fractions of B. The ascorbic acid content was determined in the blend obtained by running the pitted fruits in a blendor for 2 minutes in presence of a 0. The quantitative determinations were made with an EEL portable colorimeter. Assays made with fruits at different stages of maturity gave the following results: Green fruits had thus a higher vitamin C content than either partially or completely ripe fruits ; the difference between the last two types was not significant.
The pulp which is the edible part of the fruit is thus richer than the peel. Fruits produced on shaded trees are therefore poorer in ascorbic acid than those from trees exposed to full sunlight. The variations between trees in the shaded group may be ascribed to genetic origin. Myrciaria glomerata fruits have the.
Hearing loss changes the functionality and body structure a disability that limits activity and restricts the participation of the individual in situations of daily life. It is believed that capoeira can help people with visual disabilities to minimize these deficits. BSE is a low specificity scale that evaluates objectively and functionally aspects of balance and risk of falls in the elderly and children, including the effect of environment on balance function. The objective of the research is to analyze deaf children and adolescents prior to and post-practice of capoeira using the Berg Balance Scale BBS.
Quantitative, clinical and observational studies. Twenty five deaf children between 10 and 16 years old of both genders were assessed. BBS was applied in two stages: The one-hour classes were held once a week for quantitative evaluation purposes. The subjects were divided and evaluated in two groups years old and years old.
There was a significant statistical difference in BBS scores. Using the Berg Balance Scale, it was possible to observe an improvement in the balance of the group of children and adolescents who practiced capoeira, and consequently, a decrease in the risk of falling. Bromeliaceae in different substracts as alternatives to Dicksonia sellowiana Hook. Leituras semanais foram efetuadas, durante 70 dias. Production attempts from seeds for this species have taken place in an empirical form, using substratebased on xaxim Dicksonia sellowiana Hook.
Weekly readings were performed during 70 days. The best alternative as a substitute toxaxim was forest litter, due to its germinability of Berg McVaugh Myrtaceae is a plant native to Ecuador, traditionally used for its antiseptic properties. The composition of the hydro-methanolic extract of this plant was determined by submitting it to ultra-high performance liquid chromatography UHPLC hyphenated to heated-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and UV detection.
The presence of antimicrobial components prompted us to test the extract against methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphy Columbia River wildlife mitigation habitat evaluation procedures report: Results of the HEP analysis are listed below. General ratings poor, marginal, fair, etc.
Mule deer habitat was marginal lacking diversity and quantify of suitable browse species. Sharp-tailed grouse habitat was marginal lacking residual nesting cover and suitable winter habitat Pygmy rabbit habitat was in fair condition except for the Dormaier property which was rated marginal due to excessive shrub canopy closure at some sites. This report is an analysis of baseline habitat conditions on mitigation project lands and provides estimated habitat units for mitigation crediting purposes. In addition, information from this document could be used by wildlife habitat managers to develop management strategies for specific project sites.
