The citrus industry faces serious problems represented by diseases that reduce the productivity and depreciate the fruits that give the appearance thereof. Among these diseases the citrus black spot caused by Guignardia citricarpa is one of the most important. As the predominant control of this disease is related to the chemical application, the financial costs, environmental and public health of these applications, as well as the increasing restrictions on the presence of residues in fresh fruits, and the possibility of emergence of resistant strains of pathogens to fungicides, it is necessary to study new control alternatives. Therefore, this work aimed to investigate the use of biocontrol agents, under field conditions, by applications of Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma spp., uréia e combinação dos produtos comerciais Soil-Set® + Compostaid® on the citrus leaves that fallen to the ground, in order to reduce the production of ascospores directly and, indirectly, by acceleration of the decomposition of citrus leaves. The results of this work showed the viability of such applications as a help during the disease management to control of citrus black spot.

The drugs phenomenon is becoming more relevant in Brazil and worldwide in recent decades, reaching all levels of society. The frequent association between groups of youngsters, especially poor youth, and drug use, present in the media and in the public policies, has raised discussions and interventions that need to be analyzed and problematized in their propositions and development. Such interventions have not considered the socioeconomic and cultural situation that these youngsters are submitted, accumulating ineffective results. This data raises the need to take a "step back" in argument, reversing the order of the question and inquire, a posteriori about the best way to treat these young people in use or abuse of drugs - an issue undoubtedly relevant - and start asking first which are the social contexts and the social arrangements that put these youngsters in a vulnerable situation to the drugs issue and how this exposure occurs in their daily practices. In order to investigate how drugs make up the path of poor youngsters who live in outlying areas was undertaken a qualitative research that aimed to access the experiences of young people, between 15 and 29 years old, living on the outskirts of a medium-sized city in the State of São Paulo, which attending to a social institution dedicated to leisure, culture and sports activities. The methods applied to reach the aims were the participant observation, semi-structured interviews and workshops of Activities. The propositions of social occupational therapy constituted the theoretical background of the study. The use of participatory methodologies in the apprehension of the universe of subjects studied allowed accessing their perceptions about the drug issue, pointing out, however, other issues that permeate their daily experiences, determining their condition of vulnerability. Issues such as the constant violations of their civil rights; restrictions to urban mobility; social stigma; real and/or symbolic violence; the centrality of work and their links with and through the drug trafficking, emerged from the reports of these young people, enabling to build a picture of the extended social context in which they are located, indicating that, although present in everyday life, drugs are not the main source of concern or of increasing of the vulnerability of these young people.

This research project evaluated the changes in the fluxes of nutrients and metals at the sediment-water interface as a result of sediment treatment by the additions of PhoslockTM and calcium nitrate solution. The experiments were executed in situ using mesocosms that were assembled in the Ibirité Reservoir (MG). The calcium nitrate addition experiments showed nutrients flux abatement for Porthophosphate, ammoniacal-N and nitrate-N that were ≥ 90% whilst for the metals Fe and Mn the percentages reached 48 and 69%, respectively, as a result of sediment oxidation promoted by the intensification of denitrification rates. For the PhoslockTM addition the percentages of reduction in the fluxes across sediment-water interface was over 90% for P-orthophosphate and ammoniacal-N, 78% for nitrate-N and for the metals, Fe and Mn, 47 and 50%, respectively, as a result of the increased adsorption capacity of sediments due an excess of adsorbent material left on sediment surface.

The present work aims the study of electronic, elastic and structural properties of a whole class of nanoscopic semiconductors systems, which include quasi-two-dimensional, one-dimensional and zero-dimensional confined systems. Within two-dimensional systems, the effects caused by strain and temperature on the electronic structure of AlGaAs=GaAs multiple quantum wells oriented along [001] and [113] crystallographic directions were studied. The energy difference between light- and heavy-hole states as a function of temperature, for both crystallographic directions, was obtained from photoluminescence spectra. Using k _ p calculations, it was possible to phenomenologically explain experimental data and to show that electronic structure of quantum wells grown along [113] direction presents higher sensitivity to temperature variation. A second task in quasi-two-dimensional systems was the study of the magnetic response of neutral excitons in AlGaAs=GaAs simple quantum wells grown along [110] crystallographic direction. The Zeeman splitting and the degree of circular polarization (DCP) for the sample was extracted from circularly polarized photoluminescence spectra. Using k _ p calculations, it was possible to show that the valence band presents a high hybridization of spin states in this kind of system. To simulate the relative occupation of hybridized states, a dynamic model for spin relaxation combined with electronic structure calculations was performed. Based on theoretical results, the experimental data of the Zeeman splitting and DCP were satisfactorily and phenomenologically explained. As the last task in quasi-two-dimensional systems, the effect of in-plane magnetic field in a AlGaAs=GaAs double quantum well system was studied. As the main result, the envelope functions required for an efficient k _ p calculation in this kind of system was constructed. Concerning one-dimensional confined systems, structural properties of a twin-plane superlattice in InP nanowires were studied. The system was simulated along [111] crystallographic direction by molecular dynamics. The latter provided, besides nanowire atomic structure, stress tensor elements and elastic constants at T = 0 K. Giving the molecular dynamics results, it was possible to theoretically calculate strain tensor components and the potential profiles at the valence and conduction energy bands. The calculations showed how the strain potential profiles modulate the electronic band structure of the nanowire, generating a one-dimensional superlattice. Finally, within zero-dimensional confined systems, dynamic effects detected in the time-resolved emission from InAs quantum dots ensembles were studied. To explain the experimental behavior of the time decay as a function of quantum dots emission energy, the electron-phonon interaction, considering Fröhlich Hamiltonian model, and a carrier dynamics, that takes in account nonlinear effects such as carrier imbalance, were included in theoretically calculations. The theoretical results show that, when the system behaves like an ensemble, collective effects predominate, and different relaxation processes stand out in the system, distinguishing it from that one of isolated quantum dots. By means of theoretical calculations it was possible to satisfactorily explain the experimental data.

The units of information can be considered the repository of knowledge to their institutions as they appease the right to access information along with documentary record. By assisting the development of the Research and Extension activities at Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, this research aimed the investigation and propagation of the importance of a unit of information in the Science and Technology strengthening. The chosen methodology for the theoretical and applied research was qualitative. Its approach was sociocognitive and implemented through questionnaires as well as the realization of the Group Verbal Protocol. Three units of information from the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP) were analyzed, that is, the campuses of São Paulo itself, Garulhos and Salto. The chosen methods were: the realization of a bibliographical survey as theoretical support; the realization of a survey concerning the campuses and their respective units of information; the application of questionnaires and the use of the Group Verbal Protocol technique through the involvement of its participants, that is, management, professors, students, librarians and institutional partners from each campus. Some. The result, achieved through the application of questionnaires, was the socio-historical organizational characterization of the units of information from the IFSP. Some results achieved through the application of the Group Verbal Protocol were the following: the IFSP libraries have primary infrastructure and are still at an early stage. They require systemic structuring; the IFSP libraries do not support the Research and Extension activities which are developed in their campuses; the inexistence of projects derived from the units of information of the various areas in the Research and Extension field; the lack of exchange and partnership among the units of information themselves and other IFSP departments. The findings of the achieved results show the necessity of a greater autonomy, notoriety, visibility and institutional awareness about the importance of the units of information in the socio-educational context of the IFSP. The growth and development of Science and Technology are a pretension and part of the IFSP policy. Therefore, the units of information could spur this growth by truly acting as a repository of scientific, technological and social knowledge.

In recent years, the technology animal cells culture has allowed the development of many byproducts, especially those with pharmacological interest. Some of these products, the recombinant proteins, can be produced by heterologous expression systems on a commercial scale. Bacteria, yeast, mammalian cells and insects are some of the hosts used in these processes. As source of proteins with farmacological interest, the catterpillar Lonomia obliqua hemolinph was demonstrated to be a helpful organismo. Antiviral, antiapoptotic, antimicrobial and inducing growth proteins, are some of examples. Since the control of viral infections is a major interest to public health, the searching for new antiviral drugs has utmost importance. Several studies have reported the presence of active principles in the arthropods hemolymph. Recently, we demonstrated the existence of an antiviral protein in the hemolymph of the caterpillar Lonomia obliqua. This purified protein induced viral production reduction (TCID50 mL-1) over 157 times in cells infected with the measles virus, 61 times for polio and 61 times for influenza virus H1N1 infections. Thus, the present goals were building and expression of a recombinant plasmid contained coding sequences for expression of viral proteins (using baculovirus) in insect cell Sf-9 system. By this process, it was aimed to test biological activity of the protein. Further sequence analyses of this protein were performed using bioinformatics tools. The RNA of L. obliqua was extracted with Trizol reagent. RNA product was used in RT-PCR reactions with primers specific for the antiviral protein, based on the sequence of the cDNA libraries of L. obliqua tegument and spines, using all possible frame of translation for each cDNA. Restriction sites were inserted in cDNA sequence to insert it in pFastBacTM1 donor vector (Invitrogen). The sequence contained in selected clone of Escherichia coli DH5α was used for transformation into E. coli DH10Bac to obtain a bacmid by transposition process. This bacmid was used for antiviral recombinant protein expression in Sf-9 cells. This recombinant protein activity was tested in Picorna (EMC enchephalomiocardite), Rubeola and Herpes virus. In these trials, it was observed a replication reduction of 10,000, 10,000 and 1,000000 times, respectively. The bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that this protein is secreted, globular and probably belongs to a new class of proteins.

The Construction Industry is major generator of waste and use of natural resources and, therefore, while important to the economy, is causing enormous environmental impact. Regarding the generation of waste, its impact can be minimized with reduction actions at the construction site and measures of reuse and recycling. In 2002, at the Federal, passed Resolution No. 307 of the National Council on the Environment - CONAMA - which provides guidelines, criteria and procedures for the management of construction waste, in effect as of January 2, 2003. This study aims to determine the current situation of implementing the directives of this resolution in São Carlos, from the perspective of the responsibilities inherent in the companies operating in this city. For that we adopted the strategy of case study as a research method, with a structured questionnaire for use in major construction companies active in the city of São Carlos. The methodology comprised the following stages: a literature review on waste generation, structuring the questionnaire, the questionnaire was applied to a number of companies operating in the city of São Carlos and analysis of results. As a contribution stands out the diagnosis on the implementation of guidelines and procedures recommended in CONAMA Resolution No. 307 in the city of São Carlos, emphasizing the difficulties and possible ways for this to be actually applied. The results, in summary, show that employees are directly linked to the practices of construction do not know precisely, which describes the CONAMA Resolution No. 307 and construction companies, despite having practiced some activities related to the management of construction waste, not apply the concepts of law.

The seminar, a discursive activity predominantly oral and a literacy practice, is a genre of discourse usually used in the academic community as a method of student assessment, which receives peculiar shapes, according to the area of knowledge that it takes place. In this context, first-year university students often participate in this activity intuitively. Based on the social-interactionist and socio-rhetorical language studies, and through qualitative research method we followed the oral presentations of new incoming undergraduate students, who belong to three distinct areas of knowledge (Agricultural Science, Exact Science and Humanities Science) of a public university in the State of São Paulo, with the purpose of examining how university students acquire the discursive seminar gender. By the analysis of audio and image recordings of the students‟ presentations, semi-structured interviews withteachers, field notes and journal, we concluded that students acquire this discursive activity based on oral presentations previously known or following other literacies practices presented in the academic context.

The multifactorial nature of coronary artery disease (CAD) includes complications related to angina and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and disorders involving sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiac autonomic modulation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the autonomic modulation of heart rate (HR) by linear and non-linear methods in healthy men and in patients with AMI and different percentages of coronary stenosis, as well as its relation with CAD risk factors. In order to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV), the HR and the RR intervals were recorded for 15 min in the supine position. Based on the results of this study, three manuscripts were written: The first manuscript presents the results of 10 men with AMI (57±9 years old) (2nd and 7th day after coronary event) and 11 healthy men (53±4 years old). The HRV analysis was carried out using linear methods in the time domain (TD=RMSSD and SDNN) and frequency domain (FD= low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) in normalized units (nu) and LF/HF) and using the non-linear methods approximate entropy (ApEn). A significant relationship between the linear and non-linear methods and the RMSSD, SDNN, LFun, HFun and LF/HF and ApEn indexes was observed. The linear and non-linear HRV indexes from the healthy group were higher than those of the AMI group on the 2nd and 7th days, which suggests that the analysis of HRV with linear methods in the TD and FD and the use of ApEn for linear analysis are in agreement, both for healthy subjects and patients after AMI. The second manuscript presents the results of 52 men (54±5 years old) divided into two groups with coronary obstruction CAD+ ≥ 50% (n=18) and CAD- < 50% (n=17) and one control group (n=17). HRV analysis was carried out with Shannon entropy (SE) and symbolic analysis (0V and 2ULV). The patients with DAC+ presented lower SE (complexity), 2ULV (vagal predominance) and higher 0V (sympathetic predominance) than the DAC- and control groups, which indicates that cardiac autonomic disorder is related to the degree of coronary occlusion and to cardiac impairment. The third manuscript presents the results for risk factors, ACE I/D polymorphism and the indexes in the TD and FD of 151 patients with CAD (56±8 years old, DD=54, DI=70 and II=27). The results show that there was no relation between the ACE I/D polymorphism and HR, BP or HRV. However, the highest indexes of the HRV, which reflect vagal autonomic modulation, are related to a lower percentage of stenosis and the use of ACE inhibitors.

Frequent use of urban waters for public supply has been increased, due to reduction of water resources suitable for human consumption. These waters are exposed to point and non-point sources of pollution, such as, atmospheric deposition, vehicle emissions and different types of waste thrown into streets and sidewalks. With storm water events, various toxics compounds are carried by surface run-off, reaching finally, into water bodies within the city. The goal of this research was to evaluate the presence of total mercury, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals potentially toxic and acid volatile sulfide (AVS) in the hydrographic basin of Stream Barnabé. Searching environmental impact indicators on an aquatic system located at urban area of Indaiatuba, this water is captured to supply about 40.000 persons. Three points of stream were monitored, close to source, to water intake and to outfall. Water samples were collected monthly and sediments samples quarterly, between april/2010 and junho/2011. The results showed that the highest concentrations of mercury in water were observed during periods when rain interrupted the drought, due to runoff of water containing the material deposited for non-point sources in urban areas during the dry. The point next to water intake presented the highest concentrations of total-HPAs and AVS. We found that the maximums concentrations of metals were reported in setembro/2010 and junho/2011 samples and also setembro/2011 samples it found high concentrations of low molecular weight PHAs (naphthalene, acenaphthene, acenaphthylene and _etrogen) of source _etrogenico. These values were due to superficial water s flux with material deposited by nonpoint sources, accumulated during the dry season. Even though the results have shown normal impact indicators evaluated, it was denoted a vulnerability in this type of supply option, this requires an appropriate consideration in water management, such as interruption of supply, especially in times of heavy rainfall after periods of drought.

The birth of a child preterm and with low birth weight is considered one of the main risk factors that can lead to changes and delays in neuro-psychomotor development. Among these changes are the difficulties in motor, learning, and visual-motor integration areas, as well as sensory and perceptive problems that alone or in combination, ultimately will impact the child's social participation, especially in carrying out activities of daily living, school and play. Considering playing as the main activity for children, this study aimed to investigate possible correlations between the performance of the ludic behavior of children with a history of preterm birth and their neuro-psychomotor development. We tried to understand this phenomenon in the pre-school period, in order to produce knowledge in a preventive perspective in relation to schooling. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidad Federal de São Carlos. It is a descriptive and correlational study involving 52 children divided into three groups: Study group GI (consisting of 12 children with a history of prematurity and low birth weight at risk of developmental delay detected), Study group GII (consisting for 14 children with a history of prematurity and low birth weight without developmental delay detected) and the comparison group GIII (without the mentioned history and with 26 children from the same socioeconomic class according to the classification made by the Criteria Questionnaire Brazil). Three methods were used to perform the evaluations: TSDD-II (Screening Test Denver II), the EPP-DP (teacher s perception scale on student s performance and participation in the school environment), and ELPK-rb (Knox s Pre-school Ludic Scale - Revised). The first test was used to compose samples, the second to raise the awareness of teachers of the development of children, and the latter to the specific assessment of ludic behavior. The data were analyzed quantitatively in order to verify the presence of significant differences in ludic behavior in the three groups. To verify the significance of possible associations between groups of preterm and term infants, with the results obtained from the TSDD-II, we chose Fisher s Exact Test. After verifying the association between the variables of interest, we used the Kruskal-Wallis Test in order to ascertain whether or not differences exist between the scores obtained by the classes of variables in the ELPK-rb participation fields. The results of this study revealed that from a detailed analysis of the play behavior of children, that is, the way the play you can identify the presence of changes in global development, as well as in more specific areas of human development. Regarding the performance of children with a history of prematurity ande risk for developmental delay 8% had unsatisfactory results and 17% were assessed as having a partially satisfactory performance, something that was not repeted in the other groups analyzed, which had in most cases very satisfactory performances. A similar picture was observed when analyzing the performance of children in fine motor activities, where children with a history of prematurity had inferior performances to those of children born at term, principally when comparing the results obtained from children of group GI with those obtained from children in group GIII. Regarding the results obtained in evaluating the ELPK-rb participation field, lmost all children from groups GI, GII and GIII presented co-operative play behavior, or would rather play only with other children. Another factor that draws our attention when observing the results of participation fields, was the presence of a greater difficulty for children with a history of prematurity and risk for developmental delay in playing games with simple rules (being that 17% did not show the expected behavior and 25% played tentatively). Still with respect to the participation field, when analyzing the results related to the language area it was observed, again, a lower performance among children with a history of prematurity, especially among children in group GI, when compared to children born at term. Regarding the children s performance in the ELPK-rb field of make believe/symbolic games, it was noted that children of the group GI obtained results lower tah those of children from GII and GIII, especially in sub-items interprets more complex emotions and demonstrates function in the games for or with others . By establishing the association between the results obtained by the groups in ELPK-rb, with those presented in TSDD-II, it was observed that there are changes in play behavior of children with a history of prematurity, due to possible delays in neuro-psychomotor development, once working with all comparisons involved, the results presented by children in strata 1 (with a history of prematurity and risk for developmental delay) differed from the children in strata 4 (born at term and with the presence of caution ). However, we cannot say that the presence of risk for developmental delay detected by TSDD-II, as well as changes in play behavior of children are unique conseqyuences of prematurity, but that they results from multiple factors that add up and influence, concomitantly, the development of motor, cognitive, psychological, and social skills of children. It is confirmed then, that pratical education, health, and social skills of children. It is confirmed then, that pratical education, health, and the promoting of development occur in conjunction, contributing to the detection of risk factors and promoting the quality of interactions and the environment in which children are placed. In this sense, it is necessary to invest in the training of educators/caregivers/pages, since they can provide protective factors in children s development, minimizing/offsetting the negative effects arising from the presence of social and biological risk factors through play, as this constitutes one of the main activities performed by children in preschool, and whose primary essence is the promotion of cognitive and bio-psychomotor development in the subjects. To give children opportunities to play is to give them much more than the act itself, because it provides to each of them a better perspective of life and natural and healthy development.

The formation of In1-xSnxO2 (ITO) nanocrystals through the conversion of radiant energy into heat has been studied by using an adapted domestic microwave oven. The formation of powder was obtained by heating the oven to 200 C using a heating rate of 50 C/min and soaking time of 30 min. The obtained powder by this method was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FEG-SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM) and Selected Area Diffraction technique whose enable to distinguish possible crystalline phases, as well as the structure and morphology of the powder. Spherical particles with average size of 4, 8 and 12 nm were identified. This powder was characterized by sensing response against the presence or absence of oxygen gas. Finally, ITO powder was deposited on amorphous quartz or glass substrates by spin coating method. The films thus obtained were characterized by FEG-SEM, UVVIS and the electrical sheet resistance was measured using a four probe tips. Best results were obtained in the film whose particles were synthesized at pH 6,5.

The present research defends the idea what in Goias, on first half of the 20th century, the project of education rural comprised the juxtaposition of new school and ruralism, which aimed to develop a training profile adapted to the development of production processes in the field, making schooling by a habitus that minimized the rural exodus and integrate ideals of conservation and modernity. It was documentary research investigated the history of education in rural Goias, taking as a main source of analysis, Proceedings of the Eighth Brazilian Congress of Education, 1942, seeking to understand how the discourses of ruralism and new school supported the formation of a man adapted to development of the Brazilian nation in the years 1930- 1945, highlighting the centrality of work with the land in the educational process. The context includes the search time Goias was located in the area of agricultural expansion in Brazil and who was the object of the colonization project of the Vargas government, called the March to the West. At this juncture, there was the building and transfer of the state capital to the city of Goiania, ritual marked by a symbolic construction, which involved among other things, the Cultural Baptism of the new capital and the realization of this event organized by the Brazilian Association of Education.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of Low level laser therapy (LLLT) associated with aerobic physical exercise on the muscle regeneration process during 2 periods of rest after of the muscle injury in rats. Forty rats were divided into 2 groups (A and B), and 4 subgroups each: GC (Control Group) - cryolesioned untreated; GE (Exercise Group) - cryolesioned treated with aerobic physical exercise; GL (Laser Group) - cryolesioned treated with laser; GEL (Exercise and Laser Group) - cryolesioned treated with laser and aerobic physical exercise. The tibialis anterior (TA) of the middle belly was injured by a cooling iron bar (cryoinjury). The animals in Group A remained at rest for 3 days, while Group B remained at rest for 7 days. The laser parameters were: 780 nm, 15 mW, during 10 s, 0.152 J e 3.8 J/cm². Physical exercises with or without laser were performed during 5 days, each session lasting 12 min at a treadmill velocity of 17 m/min. The AT muscles were removed for histological and morphometric analysis. The damage area was significantly smaller for the GEL, when remained at rest for 3 and 7 days respectively, (4.4±0.42 % and 3.5±0.14 %, p < 0.05) compared to GL (18.6±0.64 % and 7.5±0.13 %), GE (21±0.26 % and 8.7±0.32 %) and GC (23.9±0.37 % and 21.4±0.38 %). In addition, the number of blood vessels were significantly higher for the GEL, when remained at rest for 3 and 7 days respectively, (71.2±13.51 % and 104.5±11,78, p < 0.05) compared to the GL (60.6±11.25 and 93.5±16.87), GE (51.6±7.3 and 93.8±15.1) and GC (34.4±2.54 and 65.7±14.1). Therefore, the laser applied before the physical exercise on the treadmill stimulated an angiogenesis and accelerated the process of muscle regeneration.

The destruction of ecosystems and their fragmentation are major environmental problems, being biodiversity conservation one of biggest challenges today .These processes result in the reduction and isolation of populations, threatening the fauna and flora, since in this situation as their populations become more susceptible to negative effects caused by a series of environmental, demographic and genetic factors. Therefore, is necessary to consider the biodiversity in all its levels, from the genetic level, to the species and ecosystem for effective actions in conservation. To assist in conservation programs, conservation genetics uses molecular methods in studies of patterns of genetic variation, indicating not only which species deserve greater efforts in conservation, but also contributing to the assessment of the variability of a population. This study evaluated the genetic diversity and structure of the marsupial Didelphis albiventris at the Morro do Diabo State Park and six adjacent forest fragments. We utilize a set of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci developed for the specie D. virginiana, for a total of 120 individuals sampled. The results indicated high levels of genetic diversity, with values equal to 10,87 alleles per locus, observed heterozygosity of 0,823 and heterozygosity expected of 0,798. We did not detect presence of null alleles. The average value of Fis was -0,033 and all loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Analyses on the population structure through calculations of FST indicated a slight structure in the populations sampled, which was corroborated by the program STRUCTURE, which indicated the existence of four populations. Given these results, we believe that in the area sampled, D. albiventris constitutes a metapopulation.

Larvae of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) were collected with entomological umbrella during 13 months in Agrosilvopastoral System and Reforestation at Canchim Farm (Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste, São Carlos, SP) area, and maintained in laboratory until the emergence of adults or of its parasitoids. Hymenopterous parasitoids of the subfamilies Microgastrinae (Braconidae) and Campopleginae (Ichneumonidae) were obtained from collected larvae, and during 10 months were also captured by Malaise traps in a fragment of Semideciduous Forest, Reforestation, Agrosilvopastoral System and Sorghum crop, in the same area of Farm. In the Agrosilvopastoral System the Geometridae larvae were collected in four plant species and in the Reforestation area, in 12 species. The greatest abundance and species richness of hosts were obtained in the Agrosilvopastoral System; the Reforestation had the greatest number of genera of Geometridae. In the Reforestation the most abundant genus of Geometridae was Macaria (Ennominae); in this site, the host plant with the highest number of larvae collected were Aegiphila sellowiana. In the Agrosilvopastoral System, the most abundant species of Geometridae was Eupithecia sp. (Larentiinae); in this site, Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan (Mimosaceae) was the host that had the highest number of collected larvae and parasitized larvae. In the Reforestation, the rate of parasitism over Geometridae larvae was higher than the recorded in the Agrosilvopastoral System. Most of the species of parasitoids obtained from larvae that occurred in Agrosilvopastoral System and Reforestation, were captured by Malaise traps. The genres that parasitized the largest number of Geometridae larvae were Glyptapanteles (Microgastrinae) and Charops (Campopleginae). The parasitoids obtained with Malaises generally were more abundant in the Reforestation, and the most abundant specie in this area was Cotesia sp. (Braconidae, Microgastrinae), and in the Agrosilvopastoral System was Campoletis sp. (Ichneumonidae, Campopleginae). For Microgastrinae fauna sampled with Malaise, the area with highest species richness index was the Reforestation, and the fragment of Forest showed the highest value for evenness. For Campopleginae fauna, also obtained with Malaise trap, the Agrosilvopastoral System had the highest species richness and greatest evenness. Was observed different patterns in the distribution of the abundance of hymenopterous parasitoids and Geometridae larvae in different environments, given the same climatic conditions.

The study discusses the main aspects of intellectual property and the questions about Amazon, especially the patenting of natural products. Because of unknowing and bureaucracy linked to the system, patenting in Brazil still generates indifference to many entrepreneurs and researchers. However it appears that this scenario is changing with the help of the Innovation Act. Although this law encourages innovation, there are many barriers that prevent the production of new products and processes in the country, especially in Amazon, such as the lack of qualified professionals, resources and issues regarding to the access to genetic resources and traditional knowledge. In this context, the study's goal is to investigate the creation of knowledge and the protection of main Amazonian species of economic interest. For the purpose, we selected 13 species classified as priorities to the Northern Region development, these species are characterized by economic importance in the bioproducts production and by the current and future market potential. Searches and data collections have been carried out in Web of Science and Derwent Innovations Index databases. Bibliometric analysis was used as method, and the VantagePoint software was chosen to process datas.The research results indicate that Brazil is responsible for 62.4% of scientific knowledge on the studied species, followed by the United States with 18.9% and Germany with 8.4%. However, regarding to the patents, United States stands with 34.3%, followed by Brazil with 16.2% and 16.0% in Japan. The species with a few patent documents are little known in the world market, such as: white ucuba, sacaca and bacury. In the analyzed period (2000 - 2009), there is an increase in the patents number on studied species. The INPA is the only Brazilian institute among those with the highest number of patents. Patents documents generally deal with the application of species mainly in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and in the area of agricultural production and food. Guarana is the species that presents the highest number of patents followed by acai, and Brazil is the main patenting holder in crabwood, bacuri fruit, moriche, cupuassu, peach palm and white ucuba. Therefore, universities and Brazilian research institutes allied to business groups have the important role to corroborate the national scientific and technological development, especially in Amazon. Thus, broaden the dissemination and awareness on intellectual property in the scientific community and business is essential.

Public policies for indigenous peoples in Brazil have undergone several changes over the last two decades. After the end of military dictatorship and the return to democracy, it was started a process of diversification of indigenous policies, which occurred in conjunction with the process of decentralization of public policies in general. In this sense, policies toward the issue of extension and rural development are part of this process, which began to be reformed and to incorporate indigenous peoples as potential beneficiaries. Moreover, from the 70s of last century, the indigenous organization and the civil society began to participate in political arena. It transforms the political and social force hitherto in our country. The Carteira Indígena Program is the result of a partnership between the Ministry of Social Development and Ministry of the Environment, started in 2004 and its objective is the promotion of food security and sustainable development in the territories indigenous. The agroecology is indicated as one of its principles of operation. This study analyzes the decentralization process in public policies and the perceptions of social actors involved the implementation of the Carteira Indígena Program in terms of its benefits, difficulties and unanticipated results, though a case study carried out in two villages in the municipality of Santos. Many challenges have been listed by the stakeholders interviewed, including the discontinuity of actions, lack of technical support, community organization, among others. In this perspective, the Carteira Indígena Program, among other government programs, aims the sustainability in Indigenous communities and emerges as a development opportunity for these people. At the same time, many obstacles are noted during the implementation of those policies. This research shows that the coherence and integration of state action in the decentralization context faces a wide range of problems to reach the sustainable management in indigenous territories.
