Estas formigas pertencem à tribo Attini, subfamília Myrmicinae, e ocorrem exclusivamente no continente americano. Esta tribo contém aproximadamente 230 espécies, porém pouco se conhece da biologia da maioria delas, graças ao fato de serem extremamente crípticas e de não apresentarem importância econômica, como as formigas cortadeiras, que são as mais estudadas. Foram utilizadas seis espécies, que representam bem os diversos níveis da filogenia da tribo: Acromyrmex disciger, Apterostigma pilosum, Mycetarotes parallelus, Myrmicocrypta sp., Trachymyrmex fuscus e Trachymyrmex sp. nov. Os comportamentos foram estudados em ninhos mantidos em laboratório, com o auxílio de micro-câmeras e um aparelho gravador de vídeo. Os comportamentos foram analisados, caracterizados e quantificados. Os resultados foram divididos em três capítulos de acordo com o tipo de comportamento. No capítulo sobre a evolução dos comportamentos de preparação do substrato foi observado que, basicamente, o processo evoluiu no sentido de aumentar a capacidade das operárias em decompor inicialmente o substrato. As espécies basais, A. pilosum, M. parallelus e Myrmicocrypta sp. apresentaram um processamento mais simples com um número menor de comportamentos e principalmente sem os comportamentos do tratamento químico, que é responsável pela fragmentação do substrato ao mesmo tempo em que ele é tratado com enzimas digestivas. As duas espécies do gênero Trachymyrmex apresentaram um processo mais complexo com grande participação do tratamento químico. Em A. disciger, que é uma cortadeira, há uma intensa especialização do sistema de castas para o aumento da eficiência... / This work aims to study the evolution of the behaviors of substrate preparation, brood, queen and winged forms care in fungus growing ants. These ants are included in the tribe Attini, subfamily Myrmicinae, and occur exclusively in the american continent. This tribe contains approximately 230 species, but little is known about the biology of most of them, tanks to the fact that they show very cryptic habits and are not economically important, like the leaf cutting ants, which are the most studied. Six species were used in this work, which represent well all the levels of the phylogeny of the tribe: Acromyrmex disciger, Apterostigma pilosum, Mycetarotes parallelus, Myrmicocrypta sp., Trachymyrmex fuscus and Trachymyrmex sp. Nov. The behaviors were studied in laboratory nests, with a set of micro cameras and a video recording device. The behaviors were analyzed, characterized and quantified. The results were summarized and discussed in tree chapters, arranged by type of behavior. In the chapter about the evolution of the substrate preparation behaviors, basically it is assumed that this process evolved in order to develop the capacity of previously decompose the substrate by the workers. In the basal species, A. pilosum, M. parallelus and Myrmicocrypta sp. this process is very simple with a small number of behaviors and principally without the behaviors of chemical treatment, which are responsible for the fragmentation of the substrate as it is treated by with digestive enzymes. In the two species of the genus Trachymyrmex, the process became more complex and showed a greater participation of these behaviors. A. disciger, witch is a leaf cutting ant, showed an extensive specialization of physical castes in all the phases of the process which elevated it’s efficiency. In the chapter about the evolution of the behaviors of brood care... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Essas melancias quando conduzidas em ambiente protegido, requerem sistema de condução na vertical e manejo de plantas para garantir elevada produtividade por área e frutos de qualidade. Com base nisso, esse trabalho teve por objetivos avaliar o desempenho de híbridos comerciais de minimelancia em diferentes espaçamentos, orientação do crescimento, e número de plantas. Para isso, foram conduzidos dois experimentos, cultivados sob ambiente protegido em substrato de fibra da casca de coco, com fertirrigação. A primeira etapa foi instalada utilizando o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 5 x 3, com quatro repetições. Os fatores avaliados foram: cinco híbridos de minimelancia ('Beni Kodama'; 'Ki Kodama'; 'Smile'; 'New Kodama'; e 'Beni Makura') e três espaçamentos entre plantas (E1= 0,35; E2= 0,50; E3=0,65). A segunda etapa foi conduzida utilizando o híbrido 'Smile' no delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, esquema fatorial 2 x 2, com oito repetições. O primeiro fator foi constituído de número de hastes por planta (1 e 2 duas hastes), e o segundo fator foi composto de número de plantas por vaso (1 e 2 plantas). Em ambas as etapas avaliaram-se características de produção, qualidade, assim como, parâmetros fisiológicos da planta. Na etapa 1 não houve interação significativa entre os fatores avaliados (híbridos e espaçamentos...

These watermelons when conducted in a protected cultivation, require training system vertically and management plans to ensure high productivity per area and fruit quality. Based on this, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of commercial hybrid minimelancia in different spacings, growth orientation, and number of plants. For this, two experiments were conducted, cultivated under protected environment in fiber substrate of coconut shell, with fertigation. The first stage was installed using the experimental design of randomized blocks in a factorial 5 x 3, with four replications. The factors evaluated were: five hybrids of minimelancia ('Beni Kodama', 'Ki Kodama', 'Smile', 'New Kodama', and 'Beni Makura') and three spacings between plants (E1 = 0.35; E2 = 0.50; E3 = 0.65). The second stage was conducted using the hybrid 'Smile' in the experimental design of randomized, factorial 2 x 2 with eight repetitions. The first factor is constituted by the number of stems per plant (stems 1 and 2) and the second factor consisting of the number of plants per pot (plants 1 and 2). In both stages were evaluated production characteristics, quality, as well as physiological parameters of the plant. In step 1, there was no significant interaction between the factors evaluated (hybrid and spacings). For hybrids is observed that there was a significant difference only for fre...

Entre as alternativas está a escolha de cultivares com ampla adaptação e boa estabilidade. Os resultados de vários ambientes podem ser sintetizados por estudos de adaptabilidade e estabilidade fenotípica, permitindo conhecer melhor a capacidade produtiva e adaptação frente às variações ambientais de novos genótipos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a adaptabilidade e estabilidade de clones de cana-de- açúcar, além da estabilidade dos ambientes, quanto à produtividade em toneladas de colmos por ha (TCH) e toneladas de pol por ha (TPH) no Estado de São Paulo. Foram avaliados 10 clones e duas testemunhas comerciais de maturação média- tardia em primeira soca em 10 experimentos colhidos em agosto de 2008, utilizando o método de regressão bissegmentada e o método AMMI (Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction Analysis). A interação GxA para o caráter Pol%cana (PC) não foi significativa e TCH e TPH foram altamente correlacionados (r=0,97), apresentando resultados similares para todas as análises realizadas. Por isso, apenas os resultados de TCH foram apresentados e discutidos. Os resultados dos dois métodos foram comparados e evidenciaram que os clones RB975201, RB975157, RB975932, RB975242 e RB975162 são os mais promissores devido à produtividade acima das testemunhas, a alta estabilidade verificada em um ou nos dois métodos e adaptabilidade ampla ou específica. Os ambientes Tarumã, Guariba e Piracicaba, foram os mais estáveis, podendo servir de referência para recomendações em outras áreas / The genotype x environment interaction (GE) is one of the main difficulties for selection in breeding programs of any species, either at the stage of selection or recommendation of cultivars, where researchers seek alternatives to minimize their effects. Between the alternatives is the choice of cultivars with wide adaptability and good stability. The results of various environments can be synthesized by studies of phenotypic adaptability and stability allowing better understand the production capacity and adaptation to environmental variations ahead of new genotypes. The objective of this study was to verify the adaptability and stability of sugar cane clones, in addition the stability of environments, for productivity in tons of cane per hectare (TCH) and tons pol per hectare (TPH) in São Paulo State, Brazil. Were evaluated 10 clones and two commercial checks of medium-late maturation in first-ratoon of experiments harvested in August 2008, utilizing bissegmented regression method and analysis AMMI (Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction Analysis). The interaction for the character Pol%cane (PC) was not significant and TCH and TPH were highly correlated (r = 0.97), with similar results for all analyzes. Therefore, only the results of TCH were presented and discussed. The results of two methods were compared and evidenced that clones RB975201, RB975157, RB975932, RB975242 and RB975162 are the most promising due to yield above checks, high stability observed in one or both methods and broad or specific adaptability. The environments Tarumã, Guariba and Piracicaba, are the most stable and may use as reference for recommendations in other areas

This study outlines the importance of entrepreneurship in developing and growing the economy. South Africa is low in entrepreneurial activity when compared to other developing countries. Considering South Africa‘s high poverty and unemployment rates, retrenchments, downsizing of big businesses, high failure rate among start-ups, and the valuable contribution that effective entrepreneurship can make towards economic growth and development. It becomes very important to determine how entrepreneurship can be encouraged and promoted to yield the desired results. The key lever to increasing the pool of entrepreneurs is through education. The answer that is evident is that entrepreneurship education should be taught in schools. The South African curriculum has made provision for the teaching of entrepreneurship from an early age. There is a widespread idea that entrepreneurship education would generate more and better entrepreneurs than there have been in the past and that education would increase the chances of obtaining entrepreneurial success. To achieve this, the study attempted to find out about the status of the Economic and Management Sciences (EMS) teachers, whether they have the necessary knowledge and skills to produce learners with an entrepreneurial inclination or not. Again the study attempted to find out whether teachers would like to be trained or not. The results revealed that teachers do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to implement the EMS Learning Area and need to be trained. The study addresses the importance of training teachers in EMS and the principles of entrepreneurship. The goal is to provide teachers with the rationale, mindset, tools, skills and knowledge needed to infuse the spirit of entrepreneurship into classrooms and to expand entrepreneurial career options. Knowledgeable teachers are needed to bridge the gap between the content on paper and the actual transference of the entrepreneurial skills and attitude to the learner in order to raise South Africa’s rate of entrepreneurial activity. Education and training should be improved so that the supply of people equipped to become entrepreneurs is increased. / Dissertation (MPhil (Entrepreneurship))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Business Management / unrestricted
