High-value industrial oils are essential for many processes and have great economic and environmental impacts. The tung tree produces a high-value seed oil. Approximately 80% of tung oil is α-eleostearic acid, which has a high degree of unsaturation thus giving it properties as a drying oil. The identification of the biological components in tung is imperative to further the knowledge of its processes. Four unique tung acyl-CoA binding proteins, VfACBP3a, VfACBP3b, VfACBP4, and VfACBP6 were identified and the genes encoding them were cloned and analyzed to determine their biological roles. The VfACBPs were observed to be similar to other organisms' ACBPs, especially Arabidopsis thaliana. In addition, each gene was expressed in all tung tissues. They were shown to interact with VfDGAT1 and VfDGAT2, two known components of tung lipid metabolism. Finally, VfACBP3a and VfACBP6 were expressed in the seeds of transgenic plants to study the effects of VfACBP expression on seed lipid fatty acid content.

A torta de tungue é um resíduo agroenergético e possui grande potencial para o uso agrícola. Além deste, os demais componentes dos substratos testados neste trabalho foram a casca de arroz carbonizada, um resíduo gerado regionalmente em grande quantidade e o composto orgânico facilmente produzido com o aproveitamento de diversos resíduos. O morangueiro (Fragaria x ananassa) é considerado uma das espécies de maior expressão econômica entre as pequenas frutas, seu cultivo fora do solotem o objetivo de produzir frutos de forma mais sustentável. Nesse sistema, as plantas são cultivadas sobre bancadas em ambiente protegido e a nutrição das plantas é complementada através da fertirrigação. A cultura da cana-de-açúcar tem grande importância no âmbito da agricultura familiar devido a sua múltipla utilidade, sendo na alimentação animal, na fabricação de rapadura, melado, aguardente, açúcar e álcool. A tecnologia de produção de mudas de cana-de-açúcar garante incorporação de ganhos produtivos através da mecanização do plantio e diminuição do uso de colmos. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisaro desempenho agronômico de duas cultivares de morangueiro em sistema fora do solo e de dois genótipos de cana-de-açúcar na utilização de substratos alternativos. No primeiro capítulo são descritosdois experimentos com duas cultivaresde morangueiro,realizados em Pelotas-RS na localidade de Monte Bonito. Foram avaliados o crescimento vegetativo, produção, produtividade, perdas de frutos e o teor de sólidos solúveisparaas duas cultivares de morangueiro (Camarosa e San Andreas) submetidas à diferentes densidades de plantio (9, 10, 12,16 e 20 planta m-2 ) em sistema fora do solo em ambiente protegido, com o uso de três substratos compostos por casca de arroz carbonizada (CAC), composto orgânico (CO)e torta de tungue (TT).A cultivar Camarosa apresentou maior desempenho nos substratosalternativos propostos, acrescidos de CO e TT à CAC ea cultivar San Andreas apresentou maior desempenho no substrato com maior proporção de CO, a maior produtividade para as duas cultivares foi na densidade de 20 plantas m-2 . O teor de sólidos solúveis totais das frutas das cultivares não foi influenciado pelos substratos e pelas densidades testadas. No segundo capítulo, é apresentado o experimento desenvolvido em casa de vegetação, na Embrapa Clima Temperado, em Pelotas-RS, onde foi avaliado aaltura, diâmetro, número de folhas e o índice de velocidade de brotação de mudas de cana-de-açúcar de dois genótipos (RB975932 e RB867515) produzidas com substrato comercial e outros dois substratos alternativos compostos por casca de arroz carbonizada (CAC), composto orgânico (CO)e torta de tungue (TT). Os substratos alternativos apresentaram bom desempenho quanto as variáveis analisadas, sendo que o genótipo RB867515 se mostrou mais adaptável aos substratos propostos quando comparado ao genótipo RB975932. / The use of organic wastes has been a current practice in the attempt to use these products in agriculture, enabling nutrient recycling and reduction of production costs. The tung beans is an agroenergy residue and has great potential for agricultural use. Besides this, the other components of the substrates tested in this work were the carbonized rice hull, a residue generated regionally in large quantity and the organic compound easily produced with the use of several residues. The strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is considered one of the most economically important species among small fruits, its cultivation outside the soil has the objective of producing fruits in a more sustainable way. In this system, the plants are cultivated on benches in a protected environment and the nutrition of the plants is complemented by fertigation. Sugar cane cultivation is of great importance in the context of family farming due to its multiple utility, being in animal feed, in the manufacture of rapadura, molasses, aguardente, sugar and alcohol. The technology of production of sugarcane seedlings guarantees the incorporation of productive gains through the mechanization of the planting and reduction of the use of stalks. Thus, the objective of this work was to analyze the agronomic performance of two strawberry cultivars in an out-of-soil system and of two sugarcane genotypes in the use of alternative substrates. In the first chapter are described two experiments with two strawberry cultivars, made in Pelotas-RS in Monte Bonito. The vegetative growth, yield, yield, fruit losses and soluble solids content were evaluated for the two strawberry cultivars (Camarosa and San Andreas) submitted to different planting densities (9, 10, 12, 16 and 20 m-2 ) in a protected environment, using three substrates composed of carbonized rice hull (CRH), organic compound (OC) and tungbeans (TB). The cultivar Camarosa presented higher performance in the alternative substrates proposed, plus OC and TB to the CRH and the cultivar San Andreas presented higher performance in the substrate with a higher proportion of CO, the highest productivity for the two cultivars was in the density of 20 plants m-2 . The total soluble solids content of the fruits of the cultivars was not influenced by the substrates and densities tested. In the second chapter, the experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at Embrapa Clima Temperado, in Pelotas, RS, Brazil, where the height, diameter, number of leaves and sprout velocity index of sugarcane were evaluated of two genotypes (RB975932 and RB867515) produced with commercial substrate and two other substrates composed of carbonized rice hull (CRH), organic compound (OC) and tung beans (TB). The alternative substrates presented good performance as the analyzed variables, being that the genotype RB867515 showed to be more adaptable to the proposed substrates when compared to the genotype RB975932.

世界衛生組織(WHO)於2003年5月第56屆世界衛生大會通過國際「菸草控制框架公約」 (Framework Convention of Tobacco Control, 簡稱FCTC)，在「禁止菸品廣告、促銷及贊助行為」、「跨國合作管制非法走私菸品貿易」、「管制銷售菸品予未成年人及對弱勢族群的保護」、「研議並追究菸商之法律責任」等各方面皆訂有突破性規範。目前全世界已有超過150國家或簽署、或批准遞交世界衛生組織「菸草控制框架公約」。顯見「菸害防制」議題已經是不分國界、不分種族，21世紀全球一致最重要的公共衛生政策之一。 社會行銷在國外行之有年，強調：「以行銷之概念及技巧，來達到某種特定行為之改變，並改善社會」，而運用於健康議題之社會行銷，則是：「將行銷觀念及技巧系統化，以達到促進健康及減少傷害之行為改變目的」。「菸害防制」之推動，即為運用社會行銷所常見之議題及案例。在台灣，董氏基金會為國內最早推動菸害防制宣導的非營利組織，致力於國內菸害防制工作規劃、教育宣導，並促成相關政策法案制訂及監督執法。1997年推動「菸害防制法」立法(歷經十年)；2000年推動菸品開徵「健康福利捐」、執行「衛生署國民健康局菸害申訴服務中心」、舉辦國際「Quit and Win戒菸就贏」比賽等…董氏基金會推動菸害防制二十餘年，因著社會脈動調整推動策略，其寶貴之實務經驗在在與社會行銷理論相結合。 本研究即希望能收集國內外推動健康議題之社會行銷文獻，以社會行銷之概念，配合個案訪談，分析董氏基金會在推動菸害防制議題上之成效，歸納出活動成果及成功因素，以作為相關組織經營及發展策略之參考方向。 / World Health Organization has adopted the Framework Convention of Tobacco Control (FCTC) in the 56th World Health Assembly in May, 2003. The provisions have breakthrough progress on the fields such as “ban on tobacco advising, promotion and sponsorship”, “cross-country control over tobacco smuggling”, “ban on selling of tobacco to minors”, and “legal liability of the tobacco industry”. Up to date, over 150 countries already signed or ratified the FCTC. This shows that tobacco control is already such an important health policy in 21th century beyond country and race. Social marketing has been popular in other countries for years. The idea is “To change a certain collective behavior and improve the society with the concept and techniques of marketing.” To apply “social marketing” to health issues is to “To change behaviors that promote health and eliminate harm with systematized concept and techniques of marketing.” The promotion of tobacco control is a common topic and case that utilize social marketing theory. In Taiwan, John Tung Foundation (JTF) is the first NGO that advocates tobacco control movement. It has been dedicated to the planning, education and promotion of tobacco control in order to enhance police and legislation and the supervision of law enforcement. In 1997, after ten years of efforts, the Tobacco Hazard Prevention Act was finally passed. In 2000, JTF advocated and successfully lead to the levy of the tobacco health and welfare surcharge, executed the “tobacco complaint center sponsored by Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of health” and sponsored the international Quit & Win cessation campaign. In more than two decades, JTF always modifies its tobacco control strategies with the trend of society. Its invaluable experience is again and again accords with the theory of social marketing. The study aims to collect the literature regarding social marketing of health issues. The author uses the concept of social marketing and case interview to analyze the effects of JTF’s advocacy of tobacco control issues. The performance of its campaign and success factors may be a new guideline for the relevant organizations for their operation and strategy development.
