Mechanised Intercropping and Double Cropping in Southern Queensland

Peter Michael Masasso Unknown Date (has links)
The potential for relay intercropping and double cropping was assessed in field trials over three consecutive years at Gatton, Queensland. The rationale was to use controlled traffic technology to facilitate relay and double cropping and thus research a cropping system that could exploit late winter crop rainfall. In Field Trial I, grain sorghum and sunflower, broadacre crops already grown within the Southern and Darling Downs regions of Queensland and New South Wales were intercropped into wheat; sunflower was intercropped with wheat in Field Trial II. Sole summer plantings were made at the same time as intercrops were planted. The wheat crop was cut and stubble removed to facilitate this. Various planting dates (three for Field Trial I; four for Field Trial II) for the relayed summer crops were used to determine if an optimum planting time existed. Plant height, tiller number, light interception, grain yield, soil moisture and economic return were used as parameters to compare the intercrop with sole plantings in Field Trial I. Grain yield, soil moisture, rainfall infiltration and economic return were measured in Field Trial II. Research also involved the modification and testing of a tractor to carry out the sowing of the intercrop. In Field Trial I, light interception was shown to vary at different stages of the wheat crop and the use of these stages to determine optimum planting dates of the relay crop is suggested. In both trials, no differences were recorded in the grain yield between intercropped and sole cropped wheat treatments suggesting the trafficking of the plot did not affect the wheat. As neither sorghum or sunflower established as intercrops, competition was not a factor in affecting wheat yields. Moisture readings in both trials showed little change below a depth of 100 cm; however some treatment differences were present at shallower depths. In Field ii Trial I, sole summer sorghum, especially the first planting date, showed reduced water capture/ higher soil evaporation due to wheat removal initially and later transpiration loss due to crop growth and increased weed pressure. Sole wheat treatments showed increased moisture storage after harvest due to lack of water use by the crop and increased infiltration/reduced runoff due to stubble retention. Improved soil moisture recharge after rainfall events was apparent in double cropped treatments suggesting not only improved water utilisation but also improved capture and storage is possible within this system. Sorghum, commonly used throughout south eastern Queensland as a summer crop option, proved unsuitable for relay intercropping in Field Trial I for Planting Dates 1 and 2. Minimum soil temperatures for these plantings were marginal as they were close to the 15o Celsius level recommended for sorghum. However, even though establishment was poor for the intercropped plantings, it was higher for sole sorghum plantings. Wheat allelopathic effects may be involved. To avoid the temperature limitations of sorghum, sunflower was selected as an alternative intercrop in the later planting dates of Field Trial I and all dates for Field Trial II. Reasons for the poor establishment and yield of sunflowers in the earlier intercrop planting dates compared to sole plantings remain unknown but also may be related to allelopathic effects from intercropped wheat. Low soil temperature was not a factor affecting establishment Yields for planting dates were recorded in the intercropped sunflower treatments for Field Trial II and the optimal planting time for sunflowers in a wheat/sunflower relay intercrop was identified as when physiological maturity of the wheat had occurred. This may relate to the wheat crop stage. In Field Trial II, no significant differences in soil moisture were recorded between treatments from overall water use for the trial period. There were differences in water use between intercropped and sole cropped treatments for iii some rainfall events. Three rainfall events were chosen for closer study in each of the field trials conducted. Each event varied in the length and time as well as the duration and intensity of the rain that fell for the period. For the first rainfall period the moisture content of the first planting date of the sole summer treatment and to a lesser extent the second planting date of the same treatment increased, most likely due to wheat removal. In the third rainfall period the double cropped sunflower treatment with stubble tended to store less moisture and this may be due to the active crop growth at this time. It was evident in both field trials of the need for an effective weed control program in the intercrop plots. Weeds were controlled in wheel tracks by glyphosate sprays. Cultural methods may help but a herbicide suitable for both components of the intercrop would be very useful. A tractor was successfully modified to a 3 metre wheelspace and a clearance of 70 cm. This proved sufficient for planting the relay intercrop in Field Trial II without negatively affecting the yield of the standing crop. The row spacing of 18 cm for wheat in a 3 metre fixed bed and wheeltrack configuration assisted with guidance and interplanting of the relay crop. The relay crop was sown as single alternating rows.

As reformas educacionais dos anos de 1990 regulamentaram parâmetros e diretrizes gerais, por meio da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional – LDB, de 1996, para que fossem desenvolvidos na forma de currículos pelos sistemas de ensino em todo o país. No Estado de São Paulo, definiu-se um currículo mínimo e comum a todas as escolas paulistas, o que se deu de forma explícita para o segmento da educação básica de primeira a quarta séries (1º ao 5º anos) através da estruturação do “Programa Ler e Escrever” a partir do ano de 2007. Procuramos contextualizar a culminância do programa desde o período das reformas educacionais, contemplando reflexões que ecoam sobre o trabalho docente, a formação curricular, avaliações externas, a leitura e até a contribuição dos gêneros literários para a alfabetização. O objetivo desta pesquisa é realizar uma análise do Programa “Ler e Escrever”, a qual contempla desde sua ideologia expressa em documentos oficiais, seus materiais para uso de professores e alunos até a prática em sala de aula, por meio de entrevistas com as professoras alfabetizadoras. Constatamos a ausência de uma formação continuada para o professor, descrita nos documentos oficiais, substituída por prescrições detalhadas sobre as atividades nos guias do professor, um reconhecimento tácito desta ausência de formação. O trabalho com projetos e sequências, importantes na alfabetização, descritos por vários autores, como Dolz e Schneuwly (2004), Geraldi (2006), Bronckart (2009) entre outros, acontece no programa. Entretanto, os projetos e sequências não surgem da necessidade dos atores envolvidos, pois já vêm predeterminados. O uso de atividades que abrangem os gêneros literários acontece, na voz das professoras, num âmbito horizontal, sem maior verticalização. / In order to contribute to reflections on Brazilian literacy, especially in the state of São Paulo, the educational policy of “Reading and Writing” project and the contents of the Portuguese subject in this context were analyzed, as well as their repercussions in a local elementary and middle school in João Ramalho, a town in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. The 1990 educational reforms, by means of the 1996 Brazilian Educational Laws and Guidelines (LDB), determined the general parameters and guidelines, which were developed in the form of curricula by the educational systems throughout this country. In São Paulo, a minimum curriculum was determined to all elementary schools (1st to 5th grade) in that state, by means of the “Reading and Writing” project in 2007. And in the present work we tried to contextualize the project at its height since the educational reforms, fostering reflections on the teaching work, curriculum background, external examinations, reading and even the contribution of textual genres to the literacy. This work is aimed to analyze the “Reading and Writing” project by interviewing literacy teachers, and comprehends from the ideology of this project shown in the official laws and the materials used by teachers and students to the routine in the classroom. The lack of an ongoing training of the teachers was verified, although the training was determined by the laws. In turn, there were detailed prescriptions about the activities in the teacher’s book, an admission of the lack of training. The work with projects and didactic sequences, which are important in the literacy, described by authors such as Dolz and Schneuwly (2004), Geraldi (2006), Bronckart (2009), and many others, is present in the “Reading and Writing” project. However, the projects and didactic sequences did not arise from the need of the involved people, because those are already predetermined. The activities with textual genres are done, according to the teachers, horizontally (i.e. as something imposed, not considering the students’ background).

Also preliminaries results are shown in a third study (Study III). In the beginning of the introduction of this thesis a contextualization of difficulties on the diagnosis of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)/ Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) and fibromyalgia is presented. These difficulties have justified the development of a study denominated Relevant Aspects on WMSD and Fibromyalgia diagnosis "(Study I). In this study 75 physicians, (36 assistants and 39 experts), answered structured and open questions about aspects that they consider relevant to the establishment of diagnosis of these two syndromes. The analysis of the results showed that general physicians tended to emphasize the factor clinical conditions and time elapsed , while occupational physicians tended to indicate occupational history as main factor for diagnosis of the WMSD. The results suggested, among other aspects, the necessity to take into account the risks at work as a differential aspect between RSI/WMSD and fibromialgia. Following our initial plan of work, we accomplished a new study that included evaluation of musculoskeletal symptoms and occupational risks. The chosen population was linemen who worked at an energy distribution company, as the risks present in their work have not been described in the literature. The study was entitled "Musculoskeletal symptoms in energy distribution linemen (Study II). 30 linemen from three different working sectors participated in this study. The results showed high number of musculoskeletal symptoms that varied according to the linemen' activities. Regarding the body areas affected, the shoulders presented higher discomfort rate. These results have motivated the development of the third study entitled Preliminary results of postural risks in power line electricians using inclinometry (Study III). In this study quantitative measurements of shoulder movements were carried out during five more frequent occupational activities, chosen by the analysis of a company routine recording of the occupational activities performed by the workers. Due to safety regulations, it was not possible to perform direct measurements of the workers while the power lines were energized. Thus, the recordings were performed at a technological center in which the occupational environment is reproduced for the workers training. In these centers the environment and activities are similar to the real ones but the lines are not energized to prevent electrical shock. 12 power workers from maintenance and emergency sectors (low tension) took part in the study. The preliminary results showed that the 5 analyzed activities presented postural risks for the development of musculoskeletal symptoms related at work. These studies gave us the possibility to investigate the clinical aspects for the establishing of the diagnosis of RSI/WMSD and fibromyalgia, to evaluate symptoms in workers at risk during occupational activities performed by electricians, as well as to quantify the level of postural overload related to WRMS occurrence in power men through direct measurements. / Esta tese reúne trabalhos desenvolvidos durante o período de doutorado, expressos por um artigo aceito para publicação (Estudo I), outro artigo submetido (Estudo II) e um terceiro estudo com resultados preliminares (Estudo III). A apresentação desses trabalhos inicia-se com uma contextualização das dificuldades diagnósticas envolvendo Lesões por Esforços Repetitivos/Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (LER/DORT) e Fibromialgia, o que justificou o desenvolvimento de um estudo denominado Aspectos Relevantes no Diagnóstico de DORT e Fibromialgia (Estudo I). Neste estudo 75 médicos, (36 assistenciais e 39 peritos), responderam a um questionário com questões estruturadas e abertas sobre os aspectos considerados relevantes para a emissão do diagnóstico destas duas síndromes. A análise dos resultados mostrou que os médicos valorizaram mais o quadro clínico, enquanto que os peritos, a história ocupacional na emissão do diagnóstico. Os resultados sugeriram, dentre outros aspectos, a necessidade de se considerar os riscos presentes no trabalho para a diferenciação entre LER/DORT e fibromialgia. Seguindo nosso plano inicial de trabalho, realizamos um novo estudo que incluía avaliação de sintomas músculo-esqueléticos e situações de riscos ocupacionais. A população escolhida foi de eletricistas de distribuição de energia, ainda não estudada na literatura disponível. O estudo foi denominado: Sintomas Músculo-esqueléticos em Eletricistas de rede de Distribuição de Energia (Estudo II). Participaram deste estudo 30 eletricistas distribuídos em três equipes de acordo com a função exercida. Os resultados apresentados revelaram alto número de ocorrências de sintomas músculo-esqueléticos em eletricistas de distribuição de energia, que variou conforme a atividade dos eletricistas. A região do ombro apresentou maior incidência de desconforto. Os resultados epidemiológicos descritos sugeriram a perspectiva do desenvolvimento de mais um estudo, resultados preliminares da avaliação por meio da inclinometria do risco postural em eletricistas de distribuição de energia durante cinco atividades ocupacionais (Estudo III). Neste estudo avaliamos quantitativamente, por meio de inclinômetros a amplitude dos movimentos dos ombros durante a realização de atividades ocupacionais mais freqüentes realizadas num dia de trabalho. A partir de uma planilha de registro de atividades realizadas num dia de trabalho, foram escolhidas as 5 atividades mais freqüentes. Considerando que os eletricistas realizam suas atividades em situações de risco por influência da corrente elétrica, as atividades foram executadas num campo de treinamento da empresa onde estas atividades foram simuladas obedecendo-se aos critérios de segurança sem risco de choques elétricos. A amostra do estudo foi constituída de 12 eletricistas da equipe de Emergência/Manutenção (baixa tensão). Os resultados preliminares mostraram que as 5 atividades analisadas apresentam risco postural para o desenvolvimento de distúrbios músculo-esqueléticos relacionado ao trabalho. Com a realização desses estudos tivemos a possibilidade de investigar as implicações dos aspectos clínicos para emissão do diagnóstico de LER/DORT, a avaliação das queixas sintomatológicas numa categoria de trabalhadores sujeita à risco como também quantificar o nível de sobrecarga postural, por meio de medidas diretas para observação da presença de fatores que podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de desordens do sistema músculo-esquelético (LER/DORT).

Its diagnostic is important because it is used to guide clinical and legal decisions. The report of pain is the usual element to describe this syndrome, so the pain assessment is essential. Therefore, the purposes of this research were: to compare provocative tests (pressure algometry and manual palpation) and subjective reports of pain (pain scales); to identify the sensitivity of different procedures and its individual contribution to the pain phenomenon. Hundred thirty four women, workers in industrial line of production were evaluated; among them were recruited 83, with mean age of 33,4 +- 6,67 years, that manifested pain caused by WMDS. An anamnesis questionary was used in this research, with the pain being measured by numeric and verbal descriptive scales, manual palpation, and pressure algometry. The analyses of the data were descriptive, and were performed Spearman&#8217;s correlation tests, and ordinal logistic regression. According to the results, the evaluated population may be classified as synthomatic by all the instruments used in this research. Regarding the provocative tests the pressure algometry was more sensitive than manual palpation (90 and 80% being identified as sintomatic subjects, respectively). The correlation coefficient between the pain scales was good (r = 0,74), and between the manual palpation and pressure algometry was poor (r = -0,38), but statistically significant (p<0,05). Otherwise, the association of the provocative tests (pressure algometry and manual palpation) with the subjective reports of pain (pain scales) was poor a regular (r= -0,26 &#8211; 0,51; p<0,05). The regression analyses demonstrated that the manual palpation, among all the instruments used, was the only one efficient in classifying the population through the pain scales. The results suggest the need for the application of a provocative test in association with subjective reports of pain when a better characterization of WMDS is concerned. / Os Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT) são responsáveis por grande parte dos afastamentos e altos custos em indenizações no Brasil. Seu diagnóstico é importante, pois auxilia nas decisões clínicas e legais, e o relato da dor é um elemento freqüente na sua caracterização; por isso a avaliação da dor é essencial. Assim, os objetivos desse estudo foram: comparar métodos de auto-relato da percepção dolorosa (escalas de dor) e testes provocativos (algometria de pressão e palpação manual); analisar a sensibilidade desses métodos na avaliação da dor nas DORT; verificar a contribuição de cada um na caracterização da dor nesses quadros clínicos; e analisar a contribuição dos métodos provocativos de dor para explicar o auto-relato dos indivíduos. Avaliou-se 134 mulheres trabalhadoras de linha de produção industrial, das quais selecionou-se, através de uma ficha de anamnese, 83 que relataram dor devido a DORT, com idade média 33,4 +- 6,67 anos. Utilizou-se no estudo uma ficha de anamnese, escalas semântica e numérica de dor, exame de palpação manual e algometria de pressão. A análise dos dados foi feita descritivamente, e a correlação de Spearman e análise de regressão logística ordinal também foram realizadas. Os resultados descritivos mostraram que a população avaliada era sintomática de acordo com todos os instrumentos utilizados, sendo que dentre os teste provocativos a algometria de pressã foi mais sensível do que a palpação manual (90 e 80 % de indivíduos sintomáticos respectivamente). A correlação entre as escalas de dor foi boa (r=0,74;p<0,05), e entre a palpação manual e a algometria de pressão fraca (r=-0,45;p<0,05). Já as associações entre os testes provocativos e os métodos de autorelato foram de fraca a regular (r= &#8211;0,26 a 0,51; p<0,05). Através das análises de regressão somente a palpação manual explicou a classificação dos indivíduos pelas escalas de dor. Assim, os resultados sugerem a necessidade de associação de um método de auto-relato de dor com um teste provocativo para uma melhor caracterização da dor nas DORT.

After diagnosis and removal, the INSS medical expert, according to conditions / worker capabilities, forwards it to the Vocational Rehabilitation Program INSS, which should provide the means of professional and social rehabilitation, according to the Federal Constitution. However, the difficulties of the Ministry of Social Security in return method of workers away by WRMSDs has been the subject of discussion. This study aimed to understand of the process of return to the employee's work away for WRMSDs, through the activity of ergonomics, focusing on the need for interaction between business, labor and INSS. The methodology was designed / led by a return to work flow chart created by the researcher from the model of inclusion of people with disabilities of Simonelli (2009). The methodology consisted initially of approval of UFSCar's Ethics Committee for the collection and analysis of data in the four companies that agreed to participate, and Term of Consent of workers. For data collection, the workers were interviewed, underwent evaluation capacity for work, from protocols and core set of ICF and were followed in jobs for systematic observation and understanding of the activity, as a presupposition of ergonomics activity. In the study of different cases it was found that the activities analyzed show that the removal station for reintegration post significant changes. Some study companies have a program for approaching the worker in the period of clearance. The professional courses offered by the INSS, mostly do not meet the requirements of the tasks of the companies, therefore, do not help the worker in the process of returning to work. The worker who returns clearance, is generally placed in the position that the company chooses, since it seeks to meet the restrictions that the Vocational Rehabilitation Program prescribes. However, this does not help you during the process of reintegration and skilled professionals of the company did not accompany him regularly. With the observed situations, it is concluded that the actual return depends on the joint work of these three social actors (company, employee and Vocational Rehabilitation), which complement each other, including analysis of activity in the stations selection process for inclusion, aiming discussions generate fruits that benefit workers and, consequently, companies and the INSS. / As manifestações das LER/DORT no mundo do trabalho têm sido motivo de preocupação, visto que seu crescimento tem constrangido a sociedade a lidar com esse problema de elevado impacto econômico, devido ao aumento significativo no número de afastamentos relacionados ao trabalho. Após o diagnóstico e afastamento, o médico perito do INSS, de acordo com condições/capacidades do trabalhador, o encaminha para o Programa de Reabilitação Profissional do INSS, que deve proporcionar os meios de readaptação profissional e social, segundo a Constituição Federal. No entanto, as dificuldades por parte do Ministério da Previdência Social no método de retorno dos trabalhadores afastados por LER/DORT tem sido motivo de discussão. Esse estudo teve por objetivo compreender o processo de retorno ao trabalho do trabalhador afastado por LER/DOR, por meio da ergonomia da atividade, enfocando a necessidade de interação entre empresa, trabalhador e INSS. A trajetória metodológica foi delineada/conduzida por um fluxograma de retorno ao trabalho criado pela pesquisadora a partir do modelo de inclusão da pessoa com deficiência de Simonelli (2009). A metodologia constituiu-se, inicialmente, da aprovação do Comitê de Ética da UFSCar para a coleta e análise dos dados nas quatro empresas que aceitaram participar do estudo e Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido dos trabalhadores. Para a coleta de dados, os trabalhadores foram entrevistados, passaram por avaliação de capacidade para o trabalho a partir de protocolos e core set da CIF e foram acompanhados nos postos de trabalho para a observação sistematizada e compreensão da atividade, como um pressuposto da ergonomia da atividade. No estudo dos diferentes casos foi possível constatar que as atividades analisadas demonstram que do posto de afastamento para o posto de reinserção houve mudanças significativas. Algumas empresas do estudo não apresentam um programa para reaproximação do trabalhador no período de afastamento. Os cursos profissionalizantes oferecidos pelo INSS, em sua maioria não pactua com as exigências das tarefas das empresas, portanto, não ajudam o trabalhador no processo de retorno ao trabalho. O trabalhador que retorna do afastamento geralmente é colocado no posto que a empresa escolhe, pois, esta procura atender as restrições que o Programa de Reabilitação Profissional prescreve. No entanto, este não o acompanha durante o processo de reinserção e os profissionais habilitados da empresa também não o acompanham regularmente. Com as situações observadas, conclui-se que o efetivo retorno depende do trabalho conjunto desses três atores sociais (empresa, trabalhador e Reabilitação Profissional), que se complementam, incluindo análise da atividade no processo de seleção dos postos para a inclusão, visando discussões que gerem frutos que beneficiem os trabalhadores e, consequentemente, as empresas e o INSS.

"Lesões por esforços repetitivos entre os cirurgiões dentistas de Ribeirão Preto-SP: ocorrência e medidas de prevenção e tratamento adotadas" / "Repetitive Strain Injury among Dental Surgeons in Ribeirão Preto-SP: occurrence, prevention and treatment measures"

Habib Assad Nader 19 May 2006 (has links)
O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi identificar a ocorrência de Lesão por Esforço Repetitivo (LER) em Cirurgiões Dentistas (CDs) e os meios de prevenção e tratamento adotados. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 127 CDs associados à Associação Paulista de Cirurgiões Dentistas/Regional de Ribeirão Preto (APCD/RP). Foi utilizado um questionário auto-aplicável abordando as temáticas relevantes para a identificação e compreensão do objeto de estudo. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos, sendo o Grupo A composto por CDs acometidos por LER (48,05%) e o Grupo B pelos não acometidos (51,95%). Encontrou-se como região mais acometida pela LER, os ombros (27,8%), seguida pelas mãos (24,6%), quanto ao sexo houve predominância do feminino com 77%, e a especialidade onde mais ocorreu adoecimento foi a endodontia, com 70% dos endodontistas. Em relação às informações que os CDs têm à respeito da LER assim como da relação das práticas de atividade de trabalho desenvolvidas na Odontologia e o adoecimento por LER, observou-se que o profissional ainda desconhece a doença e sua relação com o exercício profissional, fator determinante para adotar práticas de prevenção. Os tratamentos adotados pelos CDs acometidos pela doença são em ordem decrescente, medicamentoso, fisioterápico, acupuntura e por práticas alternativas. Os resultados deste estudo confirmam e reforçam a necessidade de novas pesquisas e subsidiarão a elaboração de um manual de prevenção que será distribuído gratuitamente aos profissionais. / This study aimed to identify the occurrence of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) in dental surgeons and what means of prevention and treatment were adopted. We carried out a cross-sectional study, involving 127 dental surgeons (DS) associated to a regional association of dental surgeons (APCD/RP). A self-applied questionnaire was used, addressing relevant themes to identify and understand the study object. The sample was divided in 2 groups: Group A (48.05%) consisted of DS affected by RSI and Group B (51.95%) of professionals who were not. The most affected area was the shoulders (27.8%), followed by the hands (24.6%). RSI mainly attacked female professionals (77%) and endodontists (70%). As to the DS’ information about RSI and about the relation between dentistry activities and the disease, we found that these professionals are still unaware of RSI and its relation with professional activities, which would be a determinant factor to adopt preventive measures. Affected DS adopted the following treatments, in decreasing order: medication, physiotherapy, acupuncture and alternative practices. These results confirm and reinforce the need for further studies and will serve as foundations for the elaboration of a manual, to be distributed freely among these professionals.
