Fast-growing seedlings have larger immediate nutrient demands as compared with adult plants. A tray experiment was conducted to evaluate the fertilization of sweet pepper transplants growing on different substrates [Control (60% Sphagnum peat + 40% perlite), Mix I (45% Sphagnum peat + 30% perlite + 25% farmyard compost), Mix II (30% Sphagnum peat + 20% perlite + 50% farmyard compost), and Commercial (40% compost + Sphagnum peat + perlite + vermiculite)] with weekly applications of nitrogen N at rates of 150 and 300 mg·L-1, compared to a control without fertilization. Seedlings were transplanted in a randomized, complete block design with four replications. Leaf area and fresh and dry weights of leaves, stems and roots were measured for the transplants; the leaf weight ratio, specific leaf area, absolute and relative growth rates, leaf expansion rates, leaf area duration, and net assimilation rate were calculated. Precocity, early yield, and total yield were measured for the fi eld crop. The application of nitrogen had positive effects on most growth parameters of seedlings growing on substrates with compost, promoting increased precocity and yield in the transplanted crop. Few benefits from nitrogen fertilization were observed for seedlings growing on substrates without compost. The main effect of the latter is to improve the efficiency of capture of the applied nitrogen, due to better water retention and ion-exchange capacity. Los plantines presentan elevada demanda de nutrientes como resultado de su alta tasa de crecimiento en relación a las plantas adultas. Para evaluar la adición de nitrógeno a sustratos preparados con y sin materiales compostados en la producción de pimiento, se realizó un ensayo fertilizando plantines cultivados en diferentes sustratos: Testigo (60% turba de Sphagnum + 40% perlita), Mezcla I (45% turba de Sphagnum + 30% perlita + 25% material vegetal compostado), Mezcla II (30% turba de Sphagnum+ 20% perlita + 50% material vegetal compostado) y un sustrato Comercial (turba de Sphagnum + 40% compost + perlita + vermiculita) con 150 y 300 mg·L-1 de nitrógeno por semana, manteniendo un testigo sin fertilizar. Los plantines fueron transplantados en invernadero según un diseño de bloques completos aleatorizados con cuatro repeticiones. Previo al transplante se determinó área foliar, pesos fresco y seco de hoja, tallo y raíz, se calculó la proporción areal de hojas, área foliar específi ca, tasas de crecimiento absolutas y relativas en fresco y en seco, tasa de expansión foliar absoluta y relativa, duración del área foliar y tasa de asimilación neta de los plantines. En el cultivo se determinó precocidad, rendimiento precoz y total. La fertilización nitrogenada de la mezcla de sustrato testigo fue insuficiente para que los plantínes alcanzaran los valores obtenidos al cultivarlos en las mezclas de sustratos con compost. Por lo tanto, es posible que el principal efecto benéfico de los materiales compostados sea disminuir la lixiviación de nutrientes desde la matriz del sustrato gracias a la mayor retención hídrica y al aumento de la capacidad de intercambio de iones.

Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de 3454 cirugías oculares realizadas en el servicio de Oftalmología del Hospital “Antonio Luaces Iraola” de la provincia de Ciego de Ávila, en el período comprendido desde Enero del 2002 a Diciembre del 2005 con el objetivo de conocer los resultados de la aplicación del Programa Nacional de Salud Ocular, se analizaron como variables las cirugías por patologías, las cirugías de catarata con y sin implante de LIO y la tasa de cirugía de catarata. En el análisis de los resultados obtenidos se observa un incremento notable en las cirugías oculares excepto en la cirugía de Glaucoma, la cirugía de catarata alcanzó el 56.22 %, el implante de Lentes Intraoculares aumentó en 35.19 %, la Tasa de Cirugía de Catarata tuvo un crecimiento anual importante en relación al año 2002, alcanzándose en el 2005 una tasa de 1703 cirugías de catarata por millón de habitantes.

The author aim to put in question on this paper the idea of ego as a unity, considering narcissism and bisexual identifications. The notion of sexual identity is questioned by the idea of a somatic-psychic tensionality, bringing to consideration the role of alterity and of the sexual body on subjectivity processes. A psychoanalytic treatment is presented to evidence the relation of sexual body and the relational dynamic with the others on the signifying processes of sexual differences

This study searches to contribute for understanding manners which school uniforms were portrayed by educational press, however for subscribed articles by prestigious authors of subject, however by leaflets with intercalated the texts. It still intends again looks over the students’ perception about school uniforms through the school newspaper study and prescription related for use these clothing in the educational handbook used in normal courses. Moreover, the educational effective legislation concludes analysis. The studied period consists in the expansion of public school in the state of São Paulo, when opportunities of public education extended to greater parts of population who were aside of this process. This research identifies how the obligation of wearing school uniforms follows the offer of application of the poorest population in the school system.

It is about the complexity of the Brazilian contemporaneous scenery, that demands a new methodology for the consumption goods project to the body, postponed by the historical rationality of design. It proposes the overcoming of the fashion culture that creates objects with no more than esthetic criterions, to a systematic approach to the subject. It presents a brief historical of the implementation of the of the design and of the fashion in the Academy. With the tensions between design and fashion calmed down, the article illustrates the connections between both of them, in many different situations. It also shows quantitative data about the academic teaching and the latest net of publications, museums, research centers, associations, institutesand libraries, whose interest is to consolidate in Brazil, design as a process and strategy.

This research has the objective to present the aspects looked for the consumers of fashion brands. The following results were identified: Search of result – functional brands; Search for the seduction – brands show off; Search for look – hype brands; Search for the freedom – independent brands; Search for the authorship – individual brands; Search for the newness – modern brands; Search for the individuality – arrogant brands; Search for the security – maternal brands; Search for prestige – compiscous brand. Functional aspects is basic condition for the consumption, separate resulted the symbolic aspects starts to be differentiations.

This paper intends to analyze the center-periphery dynamics as a production of the globalization processes. We focus on mediatic phenomena that offer data for the discussion of identity negotiations propelled by the media in the interest of renaming social processes of inclusion/ exclusion. We will take as examples the cases of the Daspu trademark and the documentary Sou feia, mas tô na moda.

Gilson Martins, graduado na EBA-RJ, é um designer compromissado com a arte e a inventividade. Na loja/galeria, que leva seu nome, localizada no bairro de Ipanema (Riode Janeiro) convivem democraticamente acessórios de moda, de décor e multiusos – de vinil, de misturas com o feito-à-mão e de texturas sintéticas – com obras de arte visuais. Esse ambiente receptivo hospeda as próprias criações e de artistas de diversas gerações e linguagens – pintura, escultura, poesia, vídeo e grafite. Trata-se de um espaço gratuito aberto a novos discursos e conceitos pautados pela legitimidade do autor. Tal sentido de convergência entre design e arte o fez garantir lugar permanente no acervo de História da Moda (século XX), no Museu Histórico Nacional-RJ (MinC) (...)

O perfume de Piripiri apaixonava as cunhatãs da aldeia. Ninguém fazia mais sucesso na mata do que esse guerreiro, tão vaidoso quanto arredio. Entediado com a perseguição constante, de vez em quando o conquistador desaparecia em meio a uma nuvem de fumaça. Algumas cunhatãs, preocupadas com seu desapego ao compromisso, decidiram amarrá-lo com os próprios cabelos. Finalmente, conseguiram dormir ao lado dele. Quando acordaram, contudo, o bonitão havia sumido para sempre. No chão, exalando seu perfume, havia uma planta diferente. O pajé contou-lhes que Piripiri tinha subido aos céus e se transformado em Arapari, as Três Marias da constelação de Orion (...)

Mudar de sexo, trocar de gênero... os homens que querem se tornar mulher são um verdadeiro desafio à compreensão dos antropólogos, problemática que culmina no caso Agnés analisado por Harold Garfinkel. De fato, a questão do gênero e das suas conseqüências socioculturais é central em Antropologia e tornou-se também uma pista conceitual para alguns artistascontemporâneos. Que sejam na arte ou na vida real, os jogos de identidade, as ambigüidades e multiplicidades do Eu chegam às vezes a apagar as diferenças entre os gêneros e sempre questionam os nossos egos.
