A repercussão pública da participação do Brasil na Minustah (2004-2011)

The object of this work is to analyze the public impact of Brazil's participation in the MINUSTAH - United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. To understand the public impact we have studied three fields: academe, Congress and the written press in Brazil. The methodology of this study was guided by intensive reading of essays and papers about the Brazilian participation in MINUSTAH and analysis of primary sources, such as laws and official documents. The results show there is a positive public image of the Brazilian participation in MINUSTAH, even with some critical periods.
Desenvolvimento de blendas nanoestruturadas SAN/PBT modificadas com copolímeros acrílicos reativos

In this work we have obtained transparent nanoblends of poly(styrene-coacrylonitrile) (SAN) as matrix and poly(butylene terephthalate) as a nanometric phase. The materials were produced by means of reactive mixing in a twin screw extrude. The development of compatibilization systems, in order to diminish the dimension of dispersed phase in situ, can be seen as a great scientific challenge in nanoblends field. In such case, the compatibilizer optimizes the comminution and prevents the coalescence process of the dispersed phase. The compatibilization between SAN and PBT phases was performed using terpolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), and ethyl acrylate (EA), denoted as MGE. Using bulk polymerization, we have applied different conditions for compatibilizer syntheses, in order to achieve a decreasing in the MGE molecular weight. The analyses of the reactivity of different compatibilizer with PBT were accomplished by using both torque rheometry and transmission electron microscopy. We have noticed that as the molecular weight of MGE decreases, the particles sizes of the dispersed phase diminishes accordingly. This part of the study culminated in the selection of the better MGE for nanoblends production. Blends with concentration varying from 3 to 30% wt were prepared in an extruder. These nanoblends were characterized with respect to thermal, dynamic-mechanical, rheological, mophorlogical and optical properties. We have shown that the MGE incorporation presents a high-efficiency for the decreasing of the PBT domains and plays an important role for the optical properties of the resulting nanoblends.
Ocorrência de bactérias endofíticas na cultura do pinhão manso (Jatropha curcas L.)

The endophytic microorganisms inhabit the interior of the plants, being found in organs and tissues such as leaves, stems and roots without causing disease or producing visible external structures. The endophytic community consists mainly of bacteria and fungi that unlike pathogens, can benefit the plants, however, depending on conditions such as interaction between bacterial communities, competition for nutrients, it can become pathogenic. The endophytic community has been evaluated in many plants, especially in studies with diazotrophic bacteria. In this study, endophytic bacterial diversity of leaves, stems and roots of physic nut (Jatropha curcas) were studied using morphologic, physiological, biochemical and molecular markers, such as 16S rDNA. The samples were disinfected (removing epiphytic microorganisms), macerated and serially diluted to obtain the suspensions that were inoculated into culture media selective for diazotrophic microorganisms. The plates were incubated at 30°C for seven days. Forty-six colonie s were isolated, with 19 in the leaves, 11 in the stems and 16 in the roots. DNA of these endophytic bacteria purified was isolated, purified and the Y1-16S805 portion of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced. Analysis of sequence identity were made by the programs BLASTn, CLUSTALW and phylogenetic analyzes by MEGA5. The roots showed greater diversity of endophytic microorganisms, with seven of the eight genera identified. In the leaves and in the stem, six genera were identified, respectively. In leaves, the exception was the genus Salmonella and Serratia. In the stem, Serratia, and in the roots more than one species of the genera Acinetobacter were found. The genera Bacillus and Burkholderia were found more frequently in all regions sampled. The genus Bacillus in the leaves, stems and roots accounted 20, 4 and 4%, respectively, of the total endophytic microorganisms identified. From the total isolates of the genus Bacillus, 73% belonged to the species B atrophaeus, B. brevis and B. sphaericus, the other 27% belonged to group B. cereus. These results suggest that the endophytic bacteria diversity of physic nut is large. Microorganisms identified in this work have potential for growth promotion, biological control and nitrogen fixation, as they were isolated in selective media with low concentration of nitrogen, in addition there are reports in the literature about the benefits of them for different plants.
