Diante disso, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo verificar a época mais adequada para a aplicação de dessecante em diferentes estádios fenológicos da cultura da soja, bem como sua interferência sobre o rendimento final e a qualidade fisiológica das sementes produzidas. Para tanto, foram realizados 5 tratamentos com 5 repetições cada, em delineamento estatístico inteiramente casualizado, sendo os tratamentos: dessecação em R 6, em R 7.1, em R 7.3 e em R 8.2, além da testemunha - R 9 (sem dessecação). As amostras foram submetidas à análise através do teste de germinação, pelos parâmetros vigor de primeira contagem (%) e germinação (%); do teste de tetrazólio, considerando-se viabillidade (%), vigor (%) e deterioração por umidade (%) e do rendimento final, através do peso de mil sementes (g) e da produtividade (kg.ha-¹). Conclui-se que, se a finalidade da produção de uma lavoura de soja for sua utilização como semente, a melhor época para a dessecação com Diquat seria o estádio R 6, pela maior porcentagem de germinação e vigor; embora torne-se inviável em função dos danos causados no ato da colheita, principalmente pelo alto grau de umidade. Em contrapartida, se a finalidade for grão, a aplicação deve ser feita em estádios mais tardios, preferencialmente em R 8.2, em vista da uniformidade de maturação bem como maior produtividade. / The desiccation is a technique that aims hasten the harvest in order to prevent the seeds from suffering excessive damage, deterioration and loss in physiological quality as a function of the storage field. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the most appropriate time for the application of Diquat desiccant at different growth stages of soybean, as well as their interference on final yield and physiological seed quality. For this, 5 treatments with 5 replicates in completely randomized design, with treatments were performed: desiccation in R 6, in R 7.1, in R 7.3 and in R 8.2, plus control - R9 (without desiccation). The samples were subjected to analysis by the germination test, by the parameters the vitality first count (%) and germination (%); tetrazolium test, considering feasibility (%), vitality (%) and damage caused by moisture (%) and the final yield, through the thousand seed weight (g) and yield (kg ha-¹). Conclude that if production of a crop a soybean for use as seed, the best time to desiccation with Diquat would be the R 6 stage, due to the higher germination and vigor; although it becomes unfeasible due to the damage caused at the time of harvest, mainly by high humidity. On the other hand, if the aim is grain, application should be made in later stages, preferably in R 8.2, in view of the uniformity of maturation and increased productivity.

Notre recherche porte sur les relations entre langues africaines, identités et pratiques linguistiques en situation migratoire et s’inspire des travaux se situant dans les domaines de l’anthropologie linguistique et de la sociologie de l’immigration. À partir de terrains menés dans trois foyers de travailleurs migrants de Montreuil, une ville de la banlieue Est de la région parisienne, nous explorons les méthodes mobilisées par les résidents de ces foyers pour communiquer avec les autres par rapport au contexte et aux interlocuteurs. La vitalité ethnolinguistique d’une langue comme le soninké, le contact des langues africaines entre elles d’une part et entre celles-ci et le français (langue de l’ex-colonisateur et du pays d’accueil) d’autre part dans les foyers de travailleurs migrants, le tout avec les modes de réappropriation et de reconfiguration de ces espaces d’accueil sont au centre de nos réflexions. / Our research focuses on relations between African languages, identities and linguistic practices in migration situation and draws on the work lying in the fields of linguistic anthropology and sociology of immigration. From land conducted in three outbreaks of migrant workers in Montreuil, a suburb east of Paris region, we explore the methods employed by the residents of these homes to communicate with others in relation to the context and interlocutors. Ethnolinguistic vitality of a language as the Soninke, the contact of African languages among themselves and between them and the French (the language of the former colonizer and the host country) in the other workers hostels migrants, with all modes of appropriation and reconfiguration of the reception areas are central to our thinking.

This study investigated community college faculty productivity from within the overall context of faculty vitality. The study was conducted at Fraser Valley College in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, British Columbia, and Red Deer College in Red Deer, Alberta. Two research problems were addressed. First, which work related factors, as reported by continuing contract teaching faculty at the two community colleges, facilitated or hindered the productivity of instructors? Second, to what extent are a composite set of factors, based on those suggested in the literature as affecting faculty vitality, perceived by faculty at these colleges to affect their productivity? The research was descriptive, extending faculty productivity and vitality inquiry into the community college context using a case study approach. A questionnaire employing the critical incident technique was used to collect data from faculty about incidents they perceived as having had a personally significant effect on their productivity. A definition of community college faculty productivity for use in the critical incident process was developed using a 12 member Delphi group consisting of three faculty and three administrators from each college. Rating of the composite set of vitality factors was accomplished by asking the respondents to rate each factor on a five point bipolar rating scale based on their perception of the priority each factor had in affecting their productivity. The 330 incidents collected by the questionnaire (171 facilitating, 159 hindering) were classified into 15 incident categories which in turn were able to be grouped into four major areas each of which provides a theme for the related categories they contain. All factors in the composite set of vitality related factors received a minimum mean rating of three on the five point scale. Conclusions drawn include: (1) the frequency of incidents by category should not be the only measure of category importance because frequencies may vary by institution, by instructor, and over time; (2) the categories reflect an open rather than closed classification system and as such are interrelated; (3) the categories reflect both facilitating and hindering incidents; (4) factors suggested by the literature as affecting vitality are perceived by faculty to affect their productivity but these results may hide a diversity of views for a particular situation; (5) the factors identified as facilitating or hindering community college faculty productivity should not be interpreted as applicable in all situations or for all faculty. Research results suggest increased awareness by administrators (at the colleges in the study) of the facilitating/hindering productivity factor category scheme should lead to a working environment more facilitative to faculty productivity if either facilitating incidents are increased and/or hindering incidents are reduced. The productivity factor assessment section of the questionnaire results suggests administrators at the two colleges should be sensitive to any actions which are perceived as undermining quality of performance. / Education, Faculty of / Educational Studies (EDST), Department of / Graduate

Migration flows have created various educational needs worldwide. One such is HeritageLanguage Education as people claim their right to connect with their cultural, traditional,religious and linguistic background while they reside abroad. Ethnic communities haveestablished settings in which they aim to sustain their ethnolinguistic capital. The presentthesis explores how heritage language teachers perceive their role in two HeritageLanguage Community Schools, in Athens and in Stockholm. Based on a qualitativedesign, the research focuses on sociolinguistic phenomena such as language use andmaintenance, and ethnic identity creation. Data were collected in Athens and Stockholmthrough semi-structured interviews with nine teachers. The analysis of findings revealsself-perceptions of teacher role that include cultural and linguistic connotations. Teacherscontribute to language use and maintenance and to some extend to ethnic identityformation. Teacher practices and experiences strive not only for linguistic developmentbut for group’s ethnolinguistic vitality as well. The study concludes that there is a needfor further research on teachers of Heritage Language Education since the topic has notgotten the attention it deserves.

Language management of Nahuatl in Mexico This thesis describes the current status of Nahuatl language, and disccus its functioning and position within the institutional structures of Mexican society, as well as language community in the municipality of Chicontepec in northeastern Mexico. Nahuatl is one of the best-known indigenous languages with wider distribution across the Mexico and according to the latest census, there are one and half million speakers of the language. The aim of this paper is to present the key moments of the relationship between Spanish and Nahuatl. The paper analyzes how to manage the problems associated with the language problems associated with Nahuatl and other indigenous languages from the second half of the twenty century to the present. On the basis of empirical data describes in detail the use of Nahuatl and the transmission within the selected families and communities in the bilingual Chicontepec. In four communities discussed the linguistic behavior of the population with emphasis on intergenerational language transmission. The Nahua community have experienced over the past 30 years, the linguistic dynamic changes that result in different language skills in different generations, genders and social groups. One of the main conclusions is that the administration of Nahuatl...

Stigmatization involves the application of labels to individuals in social contexts, leading to impaired access to social, economic, and political power. Although actual stigmatizing beliefs that society holds about particular groups are important, the extent to which individuals themselves perceive stigma from others and internalize stigmatizing beliefs is being increasingly recognized as a cause of psychological and physical distress. Little research has been done on explanatory mechanisms of the relations between perceived stigma and health outcomes, particularly in the area of stigma related to finances. Two important dimensions of overall health include depressive symptoms and health-related quality of life. According to Self-Determination Theory feeling controlled by external forces decreases subjective vitality, a measure of energy that is available to self for engaging in life pursuits. Changes in subjective vitality may, in turn, affect health outcomes. Interpersonal variables including how connected one feels with others and whether or not one feels like a burden may affect the manner in which stigma relates to subjective vitality and health. In the current study a sample of 100 individuals receiving medical treatment from a primary clinic that targets the working uninsured population in a region of Appalachia completed questionnaires assessing for perceived stigma of finances, depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, subjective vitality, thwarted belongingness, and perceived burdensomeness. Results confirmed that experienced and internalized perceived stigma were moderately associated with poorer health outcomes and lower subjective vitality. Thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness were, likewise, associated with worse health outcomes. In mediation analyses subjective vitality significantly explained the relations between each dimension of stigma and each outcome. Subsequent conditional indirect effect analyses found that thwarted belongingness moderated the mediation effect for some of the models by impacting the relation between stigma and subjective vitality or by moderating the relation between subjective vitality and the dependent variable. The findings suggest the importance of subjective vitality and feelings of belongingness in understanding how perceived stigma negatively affects health. Results and implications are discussed along with considerations for future research and interventions.

Introduction : Plusieurs études ont démontré que la pratique d’activité physique (AP) peut avoir un impact sur la vitalité cognitive des ainés. Le programme Musclez vos Méninges encourage les participants à être davantage actif et a été conçu pour promouvoir la vitalité cognitive. Ce mémoire vise à explorer : 1) les effets du programme sur l’AP; 2) l’effet modérateur et médiateur de l’AP sur les impacts du programme sur la cognition; 3) la corrélation entre l’AP et certaines dimensions cognitives des participants à l’entrée dans l’étude. Méthodologie: Au total, 294 personnes âgées de 60 ans et plus, intéressées à participer à un programme de vitalité cognitive ont été recrutées. Elles ont été évaluées avec des tests cognitifs (MoCA, MIA, CVLT, RBMT, MMQ, Attention, Stroop) et des instruments sur l’AP (une version adaptée du CHAMPS et le test de marche de 2 minutes du SFT). Des corrélations ont été faites à l’entrée dans l’étude et des régressions multivariées ont été réalisées pour mesurer l’impact du programme et celui de l’AP. Résultats : La participation au programme est associée à une hausse de l’AP (p< 0,05). Les analyses n’indiquent cependant pas d’effet significatif (p< 0,05) modérateur ou médiateur. À l'entrée dans l'étude, les sujets les plus actifs présentent de meilleurs résultats pour le recours aux stratégies mnésiques (p< 0,05). Conclusion: Un programme multifactoriel, incluant la promotion de l’AP, peut modifier significativement l’engagement à être physiquement actif. Des études futures devront toutefois démontrer si la pratique d’AP peut avoir un effet modérateur ou médiateur sur la vitalité cognitive. / Background: Several studies have demonstrated that physical activity (PA) could have an impact on the cognitive vitality of older adults. The Jog Your Mind program encourages participants to become more physically active and is designed to promote cognitive vitality. This study aims to explore: 1) the effect of the program on PA; 2) the moderating and mediating effects of PA on the program’s impact on cognition; and 3) the correlation between PA and various cognitive domains in participants prior to the start of the program. Methods: In total, 294 individuals aged 60 and over participated in the cognitive vitality promotion program immediately for the experimental group or one year later for the controls. They were evaluated using cognitive tests, questionnaires (MoCA, MIA, CVLT, RBMT, MMQ, QAA, Stroop) and PA instruments (an adapted version of the CHAMPS physical activity questionnaire and the 2-minute step test of the SFT). Correlations were made at the start of the study and multiple regressions were carried out to measure the impact of the program on PA. Results: Participation in the program was associated with an increase in PA (p< 0.05). However, analyses did not show a significant moderating or mediating effect of PA on cognition (p< 0.05). At the start of the study, the most active subjects obtained better results in terms of memory strategies (p< 0.05). Conclusion: These results show that a multifactorial program, including the promotion of PA, can lead participants to become more physically active. Further studies should be implemented to determine whether the practice of PA has a moderating or mediating effect on cognitive vitality.
