This study evaluated horticultural characteristics and development of improved cultivars with valueded traits for capsicum breeding selection. A total of 223 accessions belonging to six Capsicum spp. viz; Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum frutescens, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum annum var. glabriuscum, and Capsicum chacoense were used in this study. Plant genetic resource unit of USDA/ARS, Griffin Georgia, provided the accessions. Before anthesis, the flowers on selected female parents were emasculated to enable crossertilization with pollen from selected male parents. This study showed that wide crossing incompatibilities could limit successful crosses between species. In 2004, seven progeny lines and twentyive parent lines were evaluated at Alcorn State University for horticultural characteristics and development of improved cultivars with valueded traits. The F1 progeny had early maturity, higher yields, and appeared to be adapted to Mississippi environment. Results indicated that C. annum yields were higher than yield of other species. Yield of Capsicum chinense was the second highest. Based on horticultural evaluation of seven progeny lines and twenty five-parent lines, three F2 genotypes, C. annum (Ca15xCa8), Ca88 and C. baccatum (Cb24xCb7) were selected for detailed cultural evaluations in field trials in 2005. The genotypes were grown under three cultural practice regimes as follows: 1) Date of planting with three planting dates. 2) Plant spacing trial comprising of three spacing configurations, and 3) mulching with four mulch treatments. Fruit yield was similar in all three genotypes at first and second dates of planting, but declined considerably at the third planting date for the two progenies. Planting Chile pepper in April or May in Mississippi, could be optimum for maximum yield. The genotype Ca15xCa8 had consistently high yield and may be adapted to Mississippi, followed by Ca88. Yield of all genotypes increased with increasing spacing from medium (90 m2 x .30 m2) to wider (1.20 m2 x.45 m2). At narrow spacing, plant yield was generally lower, but yield per unit area was higher, whereas, at wider spacing, yield per plant was higher but yield per unit area was lower. Regardless of genotypes, yield was highest with plastic mulch. Among genotypes, progeny Ca15xCa8 gave consistently higher yields in all mulch treatments followed by Ca88 genotype.

The present dissertation seeks understanding the experiences of people from the goiano interior, specially in the rurais areas affected by UHE Serra do Facão from the religious festive practices having as a honored saint São Sebastião. The focus of the analysis will be the practical and rural knowledge Running along through religiosity of these actors as an expression of their ways of life so taht we can analyze how these factors as an expression of their ways of life so that we can analyze how these factors makes emerge cooperative relationships, identity links in its various forms of sociability, those tat are quite significant and widespread cultural brands during the celebrations, whether devotional or not, especially in rural communities where such relationships are narrowed, ths providing for that communities: Mata Preta, Anta Gorda, Lagoinha e Fazenda Pires, all rural areas of district of Catalão-GO, goinano southwest. / A presente Dissertação busca a compreensão das experiências dos sujeitos do interior goiano, em especial das áreas rurais afetadas pela UHE Serra do Facão a partir das práticas festivas religiosas tendo como santo homenageado São Sebastião. O Foco da análise serão as práticas e saberes rurais perpassando pela religiosidade desses atores como expressão de seus modos de vida para que possamos analisar como esses fatores fazem emergir as relações de cooperação, vínculos identitários, além de suas variadas formas de sociabilidades, as que são marcas culturais bastante significativas e difundidas durante as comemorações, sejam elas devocionais ou não, principalmente nas comunidades rurais em que as tais relações se estreitam, dando destaque para as comunidades: Mata Preta, Anta Gorda, Lagoinha e Fazenda Pires, todas áreas rurais do município de Catalão-GO, no Sudeste goiano. / Mestre em História

This work has the objective of checking how education in Sergipe was publicized through the newspaper Gazeta Socialista , between the years of 1948 and 1958, observing, how school cultural practices; professional education and schools instituitions were shown.. Theoretical support New Culture History was marked by dialogue with Roger Chartier (1992, 1990, 2002); Jacques Le Goff (2002) and Peter Burke (1992, 1989) to apprehend the elements of historiografic thought. It used education‟s historiografic authors to understand the process of development, between Eliane Marta Teixeira Lopes and Ana Maria de Oliveira Galvão (2001) and Vidal and Faria Filho (2005). The press was understood by Sodré (1999); Martins (2001) and Luca and Martins (2007), Guaraná (1925), Araújo (1993) Nascimento e Freitas (2001) and Nunes (1983). The work noticed during the analysed period the news highlighted vocational teatching, the school‟s celebrations, estudants brings, relevant for socity and worried very much with activy of Industrial Aracaju School and Rui Barbosa Education Institute, it valued the professional of education and protested against the bad situation of primary school. / Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo verificar como a educação sergipana foi divulgada através do jornal Gazeta Socialista , entre os anos de 1948 e 1958, observando a partir daí, de que maneira as práticas culturais escolares, os profissionais da educação e as instituições escolares foram discutidos. O aporte teórico da Nova História Cultural foi marcado pelo diálogo com Roger Chartier (1997), (1990) e (2002); Jacques Le Goff (2003) e Peter Burke (1992) para a apreensão dos elementos da referida corrente de pensamento historiográfico. Utilizou autores da historiografia educacional para entender o seu processo de desenvolvimento, entre eles Eliane Marta Teixeira Lopes e Ana Maria de Oliveira Galvão (2001) e Vidal e Faria Filho (2005). A imprensa foi compreendida a partir de Sodré (1999); Martins (2001) e Luca e Martins (2007), Guaraná (1925), Araújo (1993), Nascimento e Freitas (2001) e Thétis (1993). O trabalho observou que durante o período analisado o jornal destacou o ensino profissionalizante, as festividades escolares, a realização de congressos de estudantes, como relevantes para a sociedade e se preocupou bastante com o desempenho da Escola Industrial de Aracaju e do Instituto de Educação Rui Barbosa, valorizou o trabalho de profissionais da educação e lançou protestos contra a precariedade do ensino primário.

Cette étude entend proposer une histoire des élèves de la danse de l'Académie de musique au XIXe siècle (1783-1913). À travers l’étude des étapes de la mise en place institutionnelle de cette école émerge l'identité des élèves de la danse comme apprentis danseurs. Au-delà d'une histoire administrative, ce sont bien les conditions socioéconomiques de l’enfance au travail que révèle ce travail de thèse. Des questions économiques relatives à leur formation aux pratiques culturelles de la danse, les élèves de l'Académie de musique sont au coeur de la vie urbaine et théâtrale parisienne du XIXe siècle. Enfin, l’examen de la circulation des danseurs et des pédagogies à l'échelle européenne a permis d’identifier les mécanismes d’un discours de domination culturelle, construit et revendiqué par l'Académie de musique, à l’échelle du monde occidental. / This study aims at introducing a story of the Music Academy ballet students in the 19th century (1783-1913). The ballet students’ identities and their positions as apprentices come to light through the different steps of the institutional setting-up of that Academy. This thesis goes beyond administrative history and unveils the genuine socioeconomic conditions of children at work. For many reasons going from economic issues concerning their training to ballet cultural practises, the Music Academy students are at the heart of urban and theatrical life of XIXth century Paris. Eventually, an analysis of the ballet dancers ‘ freedom of movement and of the different teaching methods in Europe allows to pinpoint the mechanisms of a cultural domination speech, built by the music Academy and claimed to come from it too, throughout the Western world .
