Bakgrund: Övervikt är ett växande problem i samhället. I Sverige är 20–25% av landets 10-åringar överviktiga och ca 3% lider av fetma. Det finns få studier som visar huruvida den funktionella kapaciteten hos barn med övervikt påverkar deras uppfattning om sin övervikt som ett problem. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det förelåg ett negativt samband mellan funktionell kapacitet och upplevelsen av övervikt som ett problem hos barn på en överviktsmottagning. Studien syftade också till att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan funktionell kapacitet och kroppssammansättning respektive energiförbrukning samt om ett samband mellan energiförbrukning och individens upplevelse av övervikt som ett problem förelåg. Metod: En icke-experimentell, retrospektiv, deskriptiv och korrelerande tvärsnittsstudie. Studien baserades på insamlade data från nybesök på Akademiska barnsjukhusets överviktsmottagning. 58 deltagare i åldrarna 7–17 år inkluderades. Utfallsmåtten var sex minuters gångtest, Physiological cost index, kalipermätning och självskattade överviktsproblem. Resultat: Inget samband förelåg mellan funktionell kapacitet och självskattade överviktsproblem eller mellan funktionell kapacitet och energiförbrukning. Det fanns ett svagt samband (r=-0.55 p=0,03) mellan funktionell kapacitet och total fettmassa. Slutsats: Sambandet mellan funktionell kapacitet och total fettmassa överensstämde med tidigare studier. Andra mätmetoder bör övervägas vid uppföljande studier för att få ett säkrare resultat och undersöka de bakomliggande faktorerna till självskattade överviktsbesvär. / Background: Overweight is an increasing problem in today’s society. Approximately 20-25% of all 10-year old’s in Sweden are considered overweight and 3% are considered obese. There are few studies that show how the physical capacity in children with overweight can affect their perception of the overweight as an issue. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between physical capacity, energy cost, body composition and the child’s rating of their overweight as a problem Method: Retrospective study of data from admittance tests at Akademiska barnsjukhuset. Regression analysis of variables to study correlation. Subjects aged 7-17 with available data from Six-minute walk test, Physiological cost index, caliper measurements and rating of overweight as a problem. 58 subjects were studied. Results: There was no correlation between physical capacity, the child’s rating of their overweight as a problem and energy cost. A negative correlation was found between physical fitness and the body fat percentage (r=-0,55. p=0,03). Conclusion: The correlation between physical capacity and body fat percentage is consistent with previous studies. Other methods should be considered in future studies to better understand the underlying factors of the children’s rating of their overweight as a problem.

Willems et al. is an important melon (Cucumis melo L.) disease which causes fruit value reduction and high production losses reaching 100% in rainy season. At the present there are not effective methods of controlling this disease in Brazil, and therefore research for finding alternative control methods is essential. It was studied the effect of resistance inducers for controlling bacterial fruit blotch in ‘yellow’ melon (AF4945) and ‘Pele de Sapo’ (Nilo), evaluating different application periods (10 and 15 days after plant emergency), inducer dosages (acibenzolar-S-metil- ASM - 25; 50 and 75 mg a.i. L-1; Agro-Mos® - 0.5; 1.0 and 1.5 c.p. L-1; Ecolifeâ - 2; 3 and 4 mL c.p. L-1) and plant physiology in soil supplemented or not with NPK observing plant height, fresh and dry shoot biomass and enzymatic activity. The best period for inducers application was 10 days after plant emergency. For both genotypes, ASM (50 mg a.i. L-1) and Ecolifeâ (3 mL c.p. L-1) increased incubation period until 12 and 8 days; and reduced disease incidence by 87.5 and 60%; disease index by 95.7 and 88%; and area under disease progress curve by 93.7 and 74.5%. The two inducers independent of NPK level reduced plant height, fresh and dry shoot biomass until 24.5; 41.4 and 34.2%, respectively. Onlythe peroxidase activity was detected at 5, 10 and 45 days after inducer application. Although ASM (50 mg i.a. L-1) and Ecolifeâ (3 mL p.c. L-1) had affected plant development they significantly reduced bacterial fruit blotch in both melon types, ‘yellow’ and ‘Pele de Sapo’, and should be used for the integrated management of this disease. / A mancha-aquosa causada pela bactéria Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (Schaad et al.) Willems et al. é uma importante doença para a cultura do meloeiro ocasionando depreciação do valor comercial do fruto e grandes perdas na produção, que podem atingir até 100% em períodos chuvosos. Não se dispõe até o momento de medidas efetivas de controle dessa doença no Brasil o que torna imprescindível à realização de pesquisas que visem à obtenção de métodos alternativos de controle. Foi estudado o efeito de indutores de resistência no controle da mancha-aquosa em meloeiros Amarelo (AF4945) e Pele de Sapo (Nilo), em diferentes épocas de aplicação (10 e 15 dias após a emergência das plântulas) e dosagens (acibenzolar-S-metil – ASM - 25; 50 e 75 mg i.a. L-1; Agro-Mos® - 0,5; 1,0 e 1,5 p.c. L-1; Ecolifeâ - 2; 3 e 4 mL p.c. L-1); e na fisiologia da planta em solo com ou sem NPK, avaliando-se altura (AL), biomassa fresca e seca da parte aérea (BFPA, BSPA), e atividade enzimática. A melhor época para aplicação dos indutores foi dez dias após a emergência das plântulas. Considerando os dois genótipos, ASM (50 mg i.a. L-1) e Ecolifeâ (3 mL p.c. L-1) elevaram o período de incubação em até 12,6 e 8 dias e reduziram a incidência da doença em 87,5 e 60%; índice de doença em 95,7 e 88%; e área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença em 93,7 e 74,5%, respectivamente. Esses dois indutores, independente do nível de NPK, reduziram a AL,BFPA e/ou BSPA em até 24,5; 41,4 e 34,2%, respectivamente. Apenas a atividade de peroxidase foi detectada aos 5, 10 e 45 dias após a aplicação dos indutores. ASM (50 mg i.a. L-1) e Ecolifeâ (3 mL p.c. L-1) mesmo tento afetado o desenvolvimento de plantas de meloeiro, apresentaram redução significativa da intensidade da mancha aquosa tanto em meloeiro tipo Amarelo quanto Pele de Sapo, podendo ser inseridos no manejo integrado da mancha-aquosa.
