Orientador: Eduardo Paulon Girardi / Resumo: Imprescindível na manutenção das condições de acumulação do capital, o regime alimentar e a sua etapa corporativa fazem surgir os impérios alimentares, modos de ordenamento que trazem em si o potencial de controlar integralmente a produção, distribuição e consumo de alimentos. Em que pese a sua abrangência global, o controle atualmente exercido pelos impérios alimentares se realiza, efetivamente, na escala de cada um dos municípios produtores, o que evidencia a necessidade não apenas da articulação de escalas para o entendimento dos processos, mas, principalmente, da importância de pensar a produção ativa da mesma, estratégia pela qual é possível apontar caminhos para a superação das relações de dependência subentendidas às grandes cadeias de abastecimento. Nesse contexto, a expansão de monoculturas como a cana-de-açúcar e a consequente redução local e regional da produção de alimentos reforça a separação que permite aos impérios alimentares controlar produtores e consumidores. Isto posto, a partir dos referenciais teóricos e conceituais da Geografia, este trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar a validade da tese de que a expansão da cana-de-açúcar implica na redução da produção de alimentos hortifrútis e, com isso, no aumento das distâncias percorridas pelos alimentos. No estado de São Paulo, a expansão do agronegócio sucroenergético pressupõe a incorporação crescente de áreas anteriormente utilizadas para outros tipos de cultivo, o que inclui, inevitavelmente, alimentos.

Despite its global scope, the control currently exercised by the food empires is effectively carried out on the scale of each of the producing municipalities, which highlights the need not only for the articulation of scales to understand the processes, but mainly of the importance of thinking about its active production, a strategy by which it is possible to point out ways to overcome the dependency relationships implied by the large supply chains. In this context, the expansion of monocultures such as sugar cane and the consequent local and regional reduction of food production reinforces the separation that allows food empires to control producers and consumers. Thus, based on the theoretical and conceptual references of Geography, this research aims to demonstrate the validity of the thesis that the expansion of sugarcane implies a reduction in the production of fruits and vegetables and, thus, in the increasing distances traveled by the food. In the state of São Paulo, the expansion of sugarcane agribusiness presupposes the increasing incorporation of areas previously used for other types of cultivation, which inevitably includes food. With this, their production becomes difficult and reduced, especially at local and regional sca...

A pesar de su alcance global, el control que ejercen actualmente los imperios alimentarios se lleva a cabo efectivamente en la escala de cada uno de los municipios productores, lo que pone de relieve la necesidad no solo de la articulación de escalas para comprender los procesos, sino principalmente la importancia de pensar en su producción activa, una estrategia mediante la cual es posible señalar formas de superar las relaciones de dependencia que implican las grandes cadenas de suministro. En este contexto, la expansión de monocultivos como la caña de azúcar y la consiguiente reducción local y regional en la producción de alimentos refuerza la separación que permite a los imperios alimentarios controlar a los productores y consumidores. Por lo tanto, con base en los marcos teóricos y conceptuales de Geografía, este trabajo tiene como objetivo demostrar la validez de la tesis de que la expansión de la caña de azúcar implica una reducción en la producción de frutas y verduras y, por lo tanto, un aumento de las distancias viajadas por la comida.

Gastrointestinal (GI) septa are pathological entities whereby a wall of tissue is present in the GItract, resulting in symptoms such as dysphagia and regurgitation. They can be associated withconditions such as esophageal diverticula or upper gastrointestinal duplication, or post-surgicalcomplications such as candy cane syndrome. Current treatments involve interventions by eitherhighly skilled endoscopists or invasive surgery. We suggest the use of compression anastomosis toachieve endoscopic septotomy, relieving the patients of their symptoms. Compression anastomosisusing rings, clips, magnets, and wires or rubber bands (though not named as such for these last two)has previously been described in the literature. We propose the use of a combination of MagneticCompression Anastomosis (MCA) and what we have defined as Wire Compression Cutting (WCC),both involving progressive pressure application to induce ischemia, necrosis, inflammation, andfibrosis with regeneration. This PhD thesis describes the development of a novel medical devicedesigned to achieve the aforementioned process, from initial conception to detailed constructionby a specialized company, based on clinical and technical requirements defined in collaborationwith physicians and from latest regulations. This device, the MAgnetic Gastrointestinal UniversalSeptotome (MAGUS), consists of two magnetic boxes linked by a self-retractable wire. The wire isactivated by a spring coil system located inside the two magnetic boxes. This MAGUS MagneticDevice (MMD) is designed to be used with the MAGUS Delivery System (MDS), a catheter to whichit is attached, enabling the physician to mobilize each magnet independently during the procedure.To assess that the MAGUS meets the technical requirements of the procedure, and to mitigateagainst all possible risks that were identified through Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, verificationtests were performed in combination with animal testing. Clinical trials started in February 2020at Erasme Hospital with good preliminary results. Finally, to make the procedure more accessiblefor less experienced physicians, future improvements on the delivery catheter and procedure areproposed. / En gastroentérologie, un septum est défini comme une paroi de tissu séparant deux cavités. Ce typede structure peut être la cause de symptômes tels que de la dysphasie ou des vomissements. Il estcausé soit par des pathologies, comme les diverticules ou duplications de l’oesophage, soit par descomplications chirurgicales, comme le syndrome dit du "candy cane". Le traitement classique estla chirurgie mais celle-ci est liée à un haut taux de mortalité et morbidité. Ces dernières années,de nouvelles techniques endoscopiques ont été proposées, mais la plupart de celles-ci nécessitentl’intervention de médecins très expérimentés. Le travail développé dans cette thèse propose d’utiliserle concept d’anastomose par compression pour réaliser une découpe de ce septum. L’anastomosepar compression a été abondamment traitée dans la littérature. Cette compression est réalisée pardes anneaux, des clips, des aimants, des élastiques, ou du fil. Afin de réaliser cette septotomie,nous proposons donc de combiner l’anastomose par compression magnétique et ce que nous avonsappelé la découpe par compression par fil (Wire Compression Cutting), qui consiste à appliquer unepression, pour induire de l’ischémie, de la nécrose, de l’inflammation, et enfin de la régénérationcombinée à de la fibrose. Deux cahiers des charges, l’un clinique et l’autre technique, ont été réalisés;ceux-ci se basent sur la littérature sur le sujet, des échanges avec des médecins, et les normeset régulation actuellement d’application. Dans la suite du travail, le développement techniquedu MAGUS (MAgnetic Gastrointestinal Universal Septotome) est décrit, de l’idée à la premièreutilisation sur patients. Ce dispositif permet de réaliser cette compression, à l’aide de deux aimantsreliés par un fil rétractable. Cette solution épurée permet ainsi de découper différentes tailles deseptum, en une seule endoscopie, et sans incisions, réduisant le risque de perforation. Le "MAGUSMagnetic Device" a été conçu avec son outil dédié, le "MAGUS Delivery System", permettant defaciliter la mise en place du dispositif par endoscopie. Afin de vérifier que les caractéristiquestechniques définies au préalable sont bien remplies, et de réduire les dangers identifiés par uneanalyse de risque, des tests de vérifications ont été réalisés, en parallèle d’essais de faisabilité sur descochons. Les premières études cliniques ont commencé en février 2020 à l’Hôpital Erasme, donnantdes résultats préliminaires très encourageants. Ces premiers traitements ont notamment permisde prouver la faisabilité de la découpe par compression par fil. Ce travail est conclu en proposantdes améliorations pour le dispositif de pose, afin de faciliter sa prise en main, ainsi que de futuresnouvelles applications cliniques. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Resumo: A região de Ilha Solteira apresenta em sua maior extensão, como cobertura vegetal, o cerrado. No final da década de 60, com a construção da Usina Hidrelétrica de Ilha Solteira, algumas áreas foram desmatadas e serviram como .área de empréstimo. Os solos pertencentes a estas localidades foram subtraídos e estas áreas ficaram com suas características químicas e biológicas distantes das ideais. O desenvolvimento da vegetação depende das condições do substrato; melhorias de alguns dos atributos do subsolo destas áreas poderiam ser obtidos com a adição de resíduos orgânicos e/ou adubos químicos. O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o uso de resíduos orgânicos no crescimento do Stryphnodendron polyphyllum e como recondicionantes de subsolo degradado. A área utilizada para o experimento faz parte da Fazenda Experimental de Pesquisa e Extensão - FEPE, UNESP - Ilha Solteira, em Selvíria . MS. O subsolo continua a apresentar caráter ácido e pobre em nutrientes, após um ano de avaliação. O diâmetro do colo e altura de planta apresentam resultados crescentes ao longo do período, com os maiores valores para os tratamentos que receberam calagem, N + P e resíduos orgânicos. O carbono da biomassa, ao longo do experimento, apresentou tendências à estabilização enquanto que o quociente metabólico diminuiu no mesmo período. A colonização micorrízica e número de esporos foram influenciados positivamente pela presença de resíduos orgânicos, os quais apresentaram os maiores valores. / Abstract: Ilha Solteira region is covered for the most by cerrado as vegetation. In the late 60s as a result of the building of Hydroelectric Power Station of Ilha Solteira, some areas have been deforested and were used as loan areas. Thus, the soils belonging to these locations were subtracted and these areas became chemically poor soils with both physical and biological properties far from the ideal ones. The vegetation development depends on the substrate conditions; the improvement of some subsoil features in these areas could be obtained by adding organic residues and/or chemical fertilizers. This work aimed at evaluating the use of organic residues in the growth of Stryphnodendron polyphyllum and as a reconditioner of degraded subsoil. The area taken for the experiment is part of the Experimental Farm of Teaching and Research, FEPE, UNESP - Ilha Solteira, in Selvíria . MS. However, the subsoil keeps presenting the same acid characteristic and poor nutrient levels after a year of assessment. The column diameter and the height of the plant presented increasing results during the period; the highest values were for the treatments which received liming, N + P and organic residues. During the experiment, the carbon of the microbe biomass presented tendencies to the stabilization while the metabolic quotient decreased in the same period. The mycorrhization and the number of the spores were positively influenced by the presence of organic residues, showing the highest values. / Orientador: Ana Maria Rodrigues Cassiolato / Coorientador: Kátia Luciene Maltoni / Banca: Luiz Antonio Graciolli / Banca: Miguel Luiz Menezes de Freitas / Mestre

Resumo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência de sistemas de cultivo, extrato húmico e adubos orgânico e mineral sobre alguns atributos físicos e químicos de um Latossolo Vermelho e, sobre algumas características fenológicas e qualidade tecnológica da cana-de-açúcar. Foi desenvolvido em Aparecida do Taboado, MS, em área da Usina Alcoolvale, nos anos agrícolas 2006/07 e 2007/08, sendo cana de 2ª e 3ª socas. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso, num esquema em parcelas subdivididas com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos nas parcelas principais foram representados pelos sistemas de cultivo com e sem tríplice operação (com e sem a haste escarificadora) e nas subparcelas as adubações (T1-mineral, T2-mineral+torta de filtro, T3- mineral+extrato húmico (ácidos húmicos e fúlvicos) e T4- mineral, torta de filtro e extrato húmico (Humitec®). Em três camadas do solo: 0,00-0,05; 0,10-0,20 e de 0,20-0,40 m foram estudados os atributos físicos do solo: granulometria; porosidade do solo; densidade do solo; distribuição e estabilidade dos agregados em água. Também foram estudados os atributos químicos: P, K, Ca, Mg, MO, pH, CTC, H+Al, Al, SB e V %. Paralelamente foram avaliadas as características fenológicas: número de perfilhos, altura e diâmetro de colmos, produtividade de colmos. Além da análise tecnológica (Brix, Pol do caldo, Pureza, AR do caldo, AR da cana, Pol da cana, Fibra da cana e ATR) da cana-de-açúcar. Conclui-se que: A combinação da adubação mineral+torta de filtro+extrato húmico com o sistema de cultivo, utilizando haste escarificadora, foi mais eficaz na melhoria dos atributos físicos do solo; o sistema de cultivo da cana-soca, nas 2ª e 3ª socas, sem a utilização da haste escarificadora foi melhor na recuperação dos atributos químicos do solo, elevando os teores de P, K, Ca, Mg, SB e CTC; os ...

It was developed in Aparecida do Taboado, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in Usina Alcoolvale, for 2006/07 and 2007/08 crop years, using sugar cane ratton of 2th and 3th cycle. The experimental design was a randomized blocks in split plot with eight treatments and four replications. The two treatments in main plot were represented by cropping systems (with and without chisel) and the subplot by fertilization (T1-mineral, T2-mineral+sugar cane residue, T3-mineral+humic and fulvic acids and T4-mix of mineral, sugar cane residue and humic and fulvic acids). In three soil layers: from 0.00- 0.05, 0.10-0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m were studied some soil physical attributes: texture, soil bulk density, soil porosity, distribution and aggregate stability in water. Also were studied the chemical attributes of soil: P, K, Ca, Mg, OM, pH, CEC, H+Al, Al, sun of bases and bases saturation. They also were evaluated: number of tillers, height and stalk diameter, stalk yield and technological analysis of sugar cane. It is concluded that: The application of mineral fertilizer+sugar cane residue+humic extract (Humitec ®) and cropping system with chisel were more effective in improving soil physical; the system of crop of sugar cane ratton implanted in the 2th and 3th cycle, without the use of chisel was better in the recovery of soil properties, raising the levels of P, K, Ca, Mg, and CEC, sun of basis; the combination of mineral fertilizer+humic extract was less promising in improving the physical and chemical attributes of soil; the system of crop of sugar cane ratton implanted in the 2th and 3th cycle, without the use of chisel was better in the recovery of soil ...

The experimental field was planted in April 1992. The plant cane cut ocurred in July 1993. The first ratoon was harvested in August 1994, when the test was reinstalled to evaluation in the second ratoon, which harvest was in September 1995. The tested treatment were: 1 = CC = raw cane; 2 ? CC + TF = raw cane + 30 t.ha-1 of filter cake; 3 ? CC + TF + B = raw cane + 20 tons of filter cake ha-1 + 10 t.ha-1 of bagasse; 4 ? CQ = burned cane; 5 ? CQ + TF = burned cane + 30 t.ha-1 of filter cake; 6 ? CQ + TF + B = burned cane + 20 t.ha-1 of filter cake + 10 t.ha-1 of bagasse. The physiological rates discussed and interpreted were: a) Number of stalks by linear meter; b) Stalk height (m); c) Total biomass (g.m-2 soil); d) Leaf area index (m2 leaf. m-2 soil); e) Growth tax of the cultural (g.m-2 leaf. day-1); f) Liquid assimilation tax (g.m-2 leaf.day-1); g) Leaf nitrogen concentration; h) Stalk nitrogen concentration. The results allowed the following conclusions: 1) The application of the sugar agroindustry wastes (filter cake and bagasse) in areas harvest with or without burning, didn?t increased the stalks number and canes height. 2) The fact of not have significant differences to the stalks number rates by linear meters and canes height, reflected directly in a not statistical difference among the evaluated treatments, beeing relative a industrial stalks final productivity in t.ha. 3) The value of total biomass, obtained in the various treatments, was very low, mainly in function of hydric deficit ocurred in the period of the development of the experiment. 4) O I.A.F. (leaf area index), showed little significant changes in the first samples (second, fourth and sixth months), with higher values to burning treatments, in function of a higher stalks number by meter found in this parcels. 5) The straw index calculated (20, 6 t.ha-1) affected the ratoon budding, lowing the stalks population. 6) The leaf area index stayed lower than that considered ideal to the development of a productive sugarcane plantation, correlating with the law productivity obtained, beeing a good physiological parameter to the estimation of a sugarcane?s production. 7) The growth tax of the culture showed the highest values between 120 e 240 days after cut, similar to all treatments during the vegetative development cycle and coincided to the highest foliar area index. 8) The liquid assimilation tax was affected by the hydric stress in the period of the maximum growth of the culture. 9) The nitrogen leafs concentration, as the nitrogen stalks concentration didn?t show differences among the treatments. The fact that the soil studied was a Inceptisol soil, with great natural fertility and that ocurred a great hydric stress during the culture cycle, may have equalized the answers. -------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTER II: In a Inceptisol soil of Santa Cruz sugar mill; located at Campos dos Goytacazes,RJ, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence, in the chemical and biological properties of the soil, during the sugar cane second ratoon, of the sugar industry wastes (filter cake and bagasse) applied into experimental parcels harvested with and without previous burning of the cane. The experimental field was planted in April 1992. The harvest of the cane ocurred in July 1993. The first 1994, ratoon was harvested in August when the experiment was reinstalled for evaluation in the second ratoon, which harvest was done in September 1995. The tested treatments were: 1= CC= raw cane; 2- CC+TF= raw cane + 30 t.ha -1 of filter cake; 3-CC+TF+B= raw cane + 20 tons of filter cake ha-1 + 10 t. ha-1 of bagasse; 4-CQ= burned cane; 5- CQ +TF= burned cane + 30 t ha-1 of filter cake; 6-CQ + TF + B= burned cane + 20 t.ha-1 of filter cake + 10 T.ha-1 of bagasse. The parameters discussed and interpreted were: a) manufacturable stalks productivity in t.ha-1; b) Sugar production in t Pol ha -1; c) microbial soil biomass-carbon in mgCg -1 of soil; d) agroindustrial wastes effect among treatments on the productivity of second and the third curts of the in t.sugarcane ha-1; e) treatments effects on soil chemical properties; f)straw index determination. The results allowed the following conclusions: 1- The application of the sugar agroindustry wastes (filter cake and bagasse), in the sugar cane fields harvested with or without burning, didn`t result in increasing of productivity, in t.ha-1 or in t.ha-1. 2- Raw cane treatments, that received industrial wastes, showed expressive higher values of BMS-C, in comparison with burned cane treatments, mainly in raw cane treatment with filter cake. 3- The Inceptisol soil, may have facilitaded the similarity of the production results (t cane ha-1), due to the its high natural fertility. 4- Straw index, equivalent to 20,6 t. straw ha, may have affected the ratoon budding of the raw cane treatments. 5- generally speaking, the soil chemical properties studied haven`t been modified when the treatments are compared. / CAP?TULO I: Em solo Cambissolo eutr?fico, da usina Santa Cruz, RJ, foi conduzido experimento objetivando avaliar, durante ciclo de segunda soca (terceiro corte da cultura da cana-de-a??car), respostas ? aplica??o de res?duos da agroind?stria a?ucareira, em condi??es de manejo de colheita com e sem pr?via queima, utilizando-se da an?lise quantitativa de crescimento e empregando-se a variedade RB72454. O campo experimental foi plantado no m?s de abril de 1992. O corte da cana-planta ocorreu em julho de 1993. A primeira soca foi colhida em agosto de 1994, ocasi?o em que se reinstalou o ensaio para avalia??o na Segunda soca ou terceiro corte, cuja colheita aconteceu em setembro de 1995. Os tratamentos efetuados foram: 1 ? CC = cana-crua; 2 ? CC + TF = cana crua + 30 toneladas. ha-1 de torta de filtro; 3 ? CC + TF + B = cana-crua + 20 toneladas de torta de filtro . ha-1 + 10 toneladas . ha-1 de baga?o; 4 ? CQ = cana queimada; 5 ? CQ + TF = cana queimada + 30 toneladas . ha-1 de torta de filtro; 6 ? CQ + TF + B = cana queimada + 20 toneladas . ha-1 de torta de filtro + 10 toneladas . ha-1 de baga?o. Os par?metros fisiol?gicos discutidos e interpretados foram: a) n?mero de colmos por metro linear; b) altura do colmo (m); c) fitomassa total (g.m-2 solo); d) ?ndice de ?rea foliar (m2 folha . m-2 solo); c) taxa de crescimento da cultura (g. m- 2 solo.dia-1); f) taxa de assimila??o l?quida (g.m-2 folha.dia-1); g) concentra??o de nitrog?nio nas folhas; h) concentra??o de nitrog?nio no colmo. Os resultados obtidos permitiram as seguintes conclus?es: 1. A aplica??o dos res?duos da agroind?stria a?ucareira (torta de filtro e baga?o), nas ?reas colhidas com e sem queima, n?o resultou em aumento no n?mero de colmos por metro linear e nem na altura das canas. 2. O fato de n?o haver diferen?as significativas para os par?metros n?mero de colmos por metro linear e de altura das canas, refletiu-se diretamente na n?o diferen?a estat?stica entre os tratamentos avaliados, no que se refere ? produtividade final dos colmos industrializ?veis em t.ha-1. 3. O valor da fitomassa total, obtida nos diversos tratamentos, apresentou-se muito baixo, em fun??o principalmente do d?ficit h?drico ocorrido no per?odo de condu??o do experimento. 4. O I.A.F. (?ndice de ?rea foliar), apresentou varia??es significativas nas primeiras amostragens (segundo, quarto e sexto meses), com valores maiores para os tratamentos com queima, em fun??o de maior n?mero de colmos por metro encontrado nestas parcelas. 5. O ?ndice de palhi?o calculado (20,6 t.ha-1) afetou a brota??o de soqueiras dos tratamentos com cana crua, prejudicando a popula??o de colmos. 6. O ?ndice de ?rea foliar ficou abaixo do considerado ideal para a forma??o de lavoura produtiva, correlacionando-se com a baixa produtividade obtida, mostrando-se como um bom par?metro fisiol?gico para estimativa da produ??o canavieira. 7. A taxa de crescimento da cultura apresentou valores m?ximo entre 120 e 240 dias ap?s o corte, foi semelhante para todos tratamentos ao longo do ciclo de desenvolvimento vegetativo e coincidiu com os per?odos de ?ndice de ?rea foliar m?ximos. 8. A taxa de assimila??o l?quida foi afetada pelo estresse h?drico no per?odo de m?ximo crescimento da cultura. 9. A concentra??o de nitrog?nio nas folhas, assim como a concentra??o de nitrog?nio nos colmos, n?o apresentou diferen?as entre tratamentos. O fato de o solo estudado ser um Cambissolo eutr?fico, com alta fertilidade natural e de ter ocorrido forte stress h?drico durante o ciclo da cultura, pode ter nivelado as respostas. -------------------------------------------------------------------- CAP?TULO II: Num Cambissolo eutr?fico da usina Santa Cruz, localizada no munic?pio de Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, foi conduzido experimento objetivando avaliar, durante ciclo de segunda soca (terceiro corte) da cultura da cana-de-a??car, o efeito de res?duos da fabrica??o do a??car, (torta de filtro e baga?o), aplicados em parcelas experimentais posteriormente colhidas com cana crua e com cana sem queima, nas suas propriedades qu?micas e biol?gicas. O campo experimental foi plantado no m?s de abril de 1992. O corte da cana-planta ocorreu em julho de 1993. A primeira soca foi colhida em agosto de 1994, ocasi?o em que se reinstalou o ensaio para avalia??o na segunda soca ou terceiro corte, cuja colheita aconteceu em setembro de 1995. Os tratamentos efetuados foram: 1 ? CC = cana crua; 2 ? CC + TF = cana crua + 30 toneladas.ha-1 de torta de filtro; 3 ? CC + TF + B = cana crua + 20 toneladas de torta de filtro.ha-1 + 10 toneladas.ha-1 de baga?o; 4 ? CQ = cana queimada; 5 ? CQ + TF = cana queimada + 30 toneladas .ha-1 de torta de filtro; 6 ? CQ + TF + B = cana queimada + 20 toneladas.ha-1 de torta de filtro + 10 toneladas.ha-1 de baga?o. Os par?metros discutidos e analisados foram: a) produtividade de colmos industrializ?veis em t.ha-1; b) produ??o de a??car em t POL.ha-1; c) biomassa microbiana do solo-carbono em mgC.g-1 de solo; d) efeito dos res?duos agroindustriais entre tratamentos, nas produtividades dos segundo e terceiro cortes, em t cana.ha-1; e) efeito dos tratamentos sobre as propriedades qu?micas do solo; f) determina??o do ?ndice do ?palhi?o?. Os resultados obtidos permitiram as seguintes conclus?es: 1 ? A aplica??o dos res?duos da agroind?stria a?ucareira (torta de filtro e baga?o), nos canaviais colhidos com e sem queima, n?o resultou em aumentos de produtividade, quer seja em t cana.ha-1 ou em t pol.ha-1. 2 ? Os tratamentos com cana crua que receberam res?duos industriais, apresentaram valores significativamente maiores de BMS-C, em compara??o ao tratamento cana queimada. Houve uma maior propor??o de carbono imobilizado na biomassa microbiana do solo, principalmente no tratamento cana crua com torta de filtro adicionada. 3 ? O tipo de solo estudado, Cambissolo Eutr?fico, pode ter facilitado a semelhan?a dos resultados de produ??o (t cana.ha-1), em fun??o de sua alta fertilidade natural. 4 ? O ?ndice de Palhi?o, equivalente a 20,6 t.ha-1 de palha, pode ter afetado a brota??o de soqueiras dos tratamentos com cana crua. 5 ? De modo geral, as propriedades qu?micas do solo estudadas n?o foram alteradas quando se compararam os tratamentos.

L’aulacode (Thryonomys swinderianus) est un rongeur herbivore récemment domestiqué en Afrique pour la production de viande. Quelques études antérieures ont portés sur l’alimentation de cet animal, dans le but d’améliorer la productivité des élevages. A ce jour, nos connaissances sur la digestion et les besoins nutritionnels de cet animal sont encore très parcellaires. Le premier objectif de notre étude était d’améliorer nos connaissances sur la physiologie digestive de l’aulacode en croissance, en particulier en relation avec les apports de fibres alimentaires, avec pour finalité de proposer des recommandations nutritionnelles en fibres pour optimiser la croissance et la santé digestive de cet animal. Notre second objectif était d’analyser les effets d’une diminution du ratio protéines digestibles / énergie digestible parallèlement à une hausse des apports d’amidon, sur la digestion et les performances. La finalité était d’analyser les possibilités de formuler un aliment complet moins onéreux pour les éleveurs et qui respecte les besoins de l’aulacode en croissance. Notre étude a permis de savoir que le caecum est le compartiment digestif le plus important du jeune aulacode entre 1 et 3 mois d’âge, avec plus de 40% du contenu digestif total. L’activité microbienne caecale (100 mM d’acides gras volatils totaux (AGVt) par gramme de contenu frais) est élevée, et similaire à celle des ruminants ou d’autres herbivores monogastriques. Le profil fermentaire est caractérisé par une prédominance de l’acétate (75 % des AGVt) et un ratio propionate / butyrate supérieur à 1. Le pyroséquençage 454 de l’ADN16S bactérien a permis de caractériser le microbiote caecal. Au sevrage, nous observons une prédominance du phylum des Bacteroidetes, avec 51 % d’abondance relative, alors que le phylum des Firmicutes devient majoritaire (50%) à 3 mois d’âge. Le microbiote caecal est caractérisé par la présence de genres souvent identifiés dans d’autres écosystèmes digestifs d’herbivores, tels que : RC9 (2 à 8%), Parabacteroides (1 à 8%), Prevotella (3 à 6%) et Xylanibacter (1%), Erysipelotrichaceae Turicibacter (1 à 7%), Lachnospiraceae Incertae_Sedis (4 à 5%), Ruminococcaceae Incertae_Sedis (1 à 2%) et Ruminococcus (1 à 3%). D’autres genres, absents chez des espèces voisines comme le lapin et le cobaye, semblent plus spécifiques de l’aulacode, tels que Termite_Treponema_cluster (1.7 à 2.2%) et Treponema (7 à 13%), du phylum des Spirochaetes. L’analyse des performances zootechniques indique qu’un taux de fibres compris entre 17 et 21 % d’ADF représenterait un bon compromis entre santé digestive et croissance de l’aulacode après son sevrage. Descendre au dessous de 6 g de protéines digestibles par MJ d’énergie digestible, via une hausse importante des apports d’amidon et une baisse importante du taux de protéines brutes (en dessous de 11 %) et de fibres, est préjudiciable à la croissance des animaux. / The cane rat or grasscutter (Thryonomys swinderianus) is a rodent herbivore recently domesticated in Africa for meat production. Some previous studies focused on the feeding of this animal, in order to improve the productivity of farms. To date, our knowledge of digestion and nutritional requirements of this animal are still very scarce. Our first objective was to improve our knowledge of digestive physiology of the young grasscutter, particularly in relation to dietary fibre supply, in order to improve the recommendations for dietary fibre content of diets to optimize growth and digestive health. Our second objective was to analyze the effects of a decreased digestible protein / digestible energy ratio, along with an increased intake of starch, on digestion and performances. The final aim was to analyze the possibilities to formulate a complete feed, cheaper for farmers and that meets the requirements of the young grasscutter. Our study found that the caecum is the most important digestive compartment of the young grasscutter between 1 and 3 months of age, with more than 40% of the total gut contents. The caecal microbial activity (100 mM of total volatile fatty acids (VFA) per gram of fresh content) is high and similar to that of ruminants or other herbivorous monogastric animals. The fermentation profile is characterized by a predominance of acetate (75% of total VFA) and a propionate / butyrate ratio greater than 1. A pyrosequencing of bacterial 16S-DNA was used to characterize the caecal microbiota. At weaning (one month), we observe a predominance of the Bacteroidetes phylum, with 51% of relative abundance, whereas the Firmicutes phylum becomes predominant (50%) at 3 months of age. Caecal microbiota is characterized by the presence of genera often identified in other digestive ecosystems of herbivores, such as: RC9 (2-8%), Parabacteroides (1-8%), Prevotella (3.6%) and Xylanibacter (1%), Erysipelotrichaceae Turicibacter (1-7%), Lachnospiraceae Incertae_Sedis (4-5%), Ruminococcaceae Incertae_Sedis (1-2%) and Ruminococcus (1-3%). Other genera, absent in related species such as rabbits and guinea pigs, seemed more specific of the grasscutter, such as Termite_Treponema_cluster (1.7-2.2%) and Treponema (7-13%) of the Spirochaetes phylum. The analysis of growth performances indicated that a dietary fibre content between 17% and 21% of ADF represents a good compromise between digestive health and growth of the grasscutter after weaning. Decreasing below 6g of digestible protein / MJ of digestible energy, via a high increase in starch intake and a significant decline in crude protein content (below 11%) and fibre, is detrimental to the growth of animals.

L’incorporation de sous-produits agricoles ou de matériaux naturels dans la matrice cimentaire confère des propriétés intéressantes aux composites élaborés. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’élaborer un matériau pouvant répondre aux exigences mécaniques, thermiques et de durabilité des matériaux de construction en zone tropicale humide. Dans un premier temps, l’activité pouzzolanique d’une pouzzolane naturelle, de cendres de tronc de bambou et de cendres de bagasse de canne à sucre ont été évaluées. L’influence de leur incorporation a été ensuite étudiée sur les propriétés mécaniques et la durabilité des mortiers exposés à des ions chlorures et sulfates. Dans un second temps, l’influence de l’ajout de fibres de bagasse sur les propriétés thermiques et mécaniques des composites a été étudiée en fonction de différents paramètres (teneur en fibres, environnement de vieillissement, type de matrice cimentaire).Les résultats obtenus ont permis de montrer que les matériaux étudiés possèdent une activité pouzzolanique et qu’il est possible de les incorporer au ciment afin de lutter contre la corrosion. De plus, les composites élaborés avec des fibres de bagasse sont plus isolants que ceux élaborés sans fibres. Cependant, du point de vue des propriétés mécaniques, l’incorporation de fibres de bagasse diminue les contraintes à la flexion des composites. / The incorporation of crop wastes or natural materials in the cement matrix confers interesting properties to composites prepared. The aim of this thesis is to develop a material that can reach the mechanical, thermal and durability requirements for building materials in the humid tropical zone. Firstly, pozzolanic activity of a natural pozzolan, bamboo stem and sugar cane bagasse ashes has been determined. Influence of their incorporation on mechanical properties and durability of mortars exposed to chloride and sulphate ions was studied. Secondly, influence of addition of bagasse fibers on thermal and mechanical properties of composites was studied as a function of various parameters (fibers content, curing, type of cement matrix).These results has shown that the materials studied have pozzolanic activity and it is possible to incorporate them into the cement to fight against corrosion. Moreover, composites elaborated with bagasse fibers are more insulating than those elaborated without fibers. However, from the viewpoint of mechanical properties, incorporation of bagasse fibers decreases flexural strength of composites in the present work and under the conditions producing procedures that were adopted.
