ABSTRACT: Collections of larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) carried out in the field in three localities in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, from October 2012 to March 2014, recorded the presence of three species of Diptera parasitizing Spodoptera frugiperda: two species of Tachinidae, Achytas incertus (Macquart, 1851) and Winthemia trinitatis Thompson, 1963, and one species of Sarcophagidae, Peckia (Sarcodexia) lambens (Wiedemann, 1830). The latter is identified for the first time parasitizing S. frugiperda in Brazil.


The speech valve can be safe and effective for tracheostomized, conscious patients with tolerance to deflated cuff. It can be coupled between 48 and 72 hours after tracheostomy, depending on the airway permeability. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the impact of the use of the speech valve on adult patients hospitalized in the city of Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, aiming at swallowing, reintroduction of diet orally in a safe way and decannulation. Method: The longitudinal method with indirect and direct evaluation with PAP, PITA, PARD, BLUE DAY TEST, DECANULATION PROTOCOL AND SCALE was used in adult and hospitalized patients. Results: Regarding the criterion of time for decannulation, after the beginning of the training with the speech valve, we consider the following findings. All patients decannulated within a maximum of 15 days after the use of the speech valve. All started oral feeding in a maximum of 7 days after using the speech valve. And SNE was removed in all patients within 15 days after using the speech valve. There is evidence that the use of the speech valve has positive impacts on the swallowing process, reintroduction of the diet orally in a safe way and on the decannulation process. Conclusion: It was concluded that the use of the speech valve brought benefits to patients, in addition to facilitating the phonation process and the adjustment of the respiratory pattern closer to the physiological one before decannulation has an importance in swallowing and a decrease in the time of swallowing. Decannulation.

INTRODUCTION: This study sought to describe the profile and geographic distribution of reported cases of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the City of Campo Grande, State of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil, from 2002 to 2009. METHODS: Human data were collected from the Brazilian National Information System for Notifiable Diseases. Canine cases and entomological data were obtained from the Information Service for Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis Control/Campo Grande, MS. RESULTS: A total of 951 records from 2002 to 2009 were investigated. The number of reported cases of VL in males was significantly higher (p < 0.0001) than that in females. The higher frequency observed among males was associated with age (p < 0.0001), which increased in individuals aged 40 years and older. The overall fatality rate was 7.4%. Entomological surveys conducted in 2006, 2007, and 2009 showed the insect vector Lutzomyia longipalpis to be present in all urban regions of the county. CONCLUSIONS: VL cases in humans and dogs, as well as in vectors, occurs in all urban regions of Campo Grande. Despite not observing tendencies of increase or reduction in the incidence of the disease due to aging, the major incidence in men is higher in those aged 40 years or above.

We report on the first isolation of dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV-4) in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in February, 2012. The cases were isolated in the city of Campo Grande, the state capital, and presented the classic signs and symptoms of dengue fever. DENV-4 was primarily identified through viral isolation in C6/36 clone lineage of Aedes albopictus cells; followed by indirect immunofluorescence, using type-specific monoclonal antibodies. The results were subsequently confirmed by Nested RT-PCR tests. The first description of the introduction of DENV-4 in a state whose population is susceptible to this serotype and the circulation of three other serotypes in the area is cause for concern due to the increased possibility of severe and lethal cases of the disease, and of huge epidemics.

O Município de Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, tem desenvolvido a atividade de turismo desde o início dos anos 1990, levando à necessidade de infraestrutura física e turística para atender às demandas do fluxo de turistas, bem como à população local. Essas ações influenciam na mudança da paisagem. O referencial teórico suscitou questionamentos sobre a atividade do turismo praticado no Município. Para abranger as diversas variáveis que interferem no destino turístico, esta investigação utilizará uma proposta metodológica fundamentada nos conceitos de Geossistema–Território–Paisagem (GTP). Com a aplicação deste modelo, os aspectos do geossistema, do território e da paisagem são elementos intrínsecos que envolvem a sociedade em sua ampla discussão, visto a necessidade de se compreender o processo social e ambiental na constituição desses elementos. Busca-se analisar de forma multitemporal a dinâmica da mudança da paisagem e suas influências na evolução do turismo em Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, o qual teve um rápido desenvolvimento, no estabelecimento de empreendimentos turísticos, nos últimos 30 anos, apresentando diferentes impactos antrópicos que possam comprometer a sua qualidade ambiental. Assim, buscou-se compreender a dinâmica de evolução, no meio rural e urbano do Município, por meio da identificação de aspectos relacionados às mudanças da paisagem. Foram analisados dados elaborados inicialmente em gabinete, na confecção de mapas-base, utilizando o SPRING 5.2.6 (Sistema de Processamento de Informações Georreferenciadas). Após esta etapa, foi realizado o trabalho de campo, com registros de notas e de fotografias. Os dados levantados foram agrupados e sistematizados por categorias que contêm informações que atendam aos objetivos do Modelo GTP. Dessa forma, os resultados contribuem para avaliar a trajetória do cenário local e realizar reflexões sobre as influências sofridas pela atividade econômica ali estudada, notadamente o turismo. Verificou-se nas imagens grande alteração no uso do solo, havendo decréscimo de vegetação em geral, corpo hídrico e solo exposto, aumento da vegetação de pastagens, área urbana, de atrativos turísticos e de lavouras temporárias. Os resultados demonstraram diferenças entre os anos de 1984 e 2014 na mudança da paisagem. As análises multitemporais contribuíram na compreensão da necessidade do planejamento em relação ao uso e ocupação de determinadas áreas, minimizando impactos decorrentes das ações antrópicas. Relationship between tourism and landscape dynamics in Bonito (MS, Brazil) in view of the GTP model (Geosystem-Territory-Landscape) ABSTRACT The city of Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, has developed the tourism activity since the early 1990s, influencing the need for physical infrastructure and tourism to meet the demands of the flow of tourists and the local population. These actions influence the changing landscape. The theoretical framework has raised questions about the tourism activity practiced in the city. To cover the different variables that affect the tourist destination, this research uses a methodology based on the concepts of Geosystem-Territory-Landscape (GTP). With the application of this model, aspects of geosystem, territory and landscape are intrinsic elements involving society in their broad discussion, as the need to understand the social and environmental process in the formation of these elements. Seeks to analyze multi-temporal shape the landscape changing dynamics and their influence on the evolution of tourism in Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, which had a rapid development in the establishment of tourism enterprises in the last 30 years, with different human impacts, that might compromise their environmental quality. Like this, we sought to understand the dynamics of development in rural and urban areas of the municipality, through the identification of aspects related to landscape changes. Data were analyzed initially developed in office, in the preparation of base maps using the 5.2.6 SPRING (Georeferenced Information Processing System). After this step was carried out fieldwork, with records of notes and photographs. The collected data were grouped and systematized by category containing information that meets the objectives of the GTP Model. In this way, the results contribute to evaluate the trajectory of the local scene and conduct reflections on the influences suffered by economic activity there studied, notably: tourism. It was the major change images in land use, with decrease of vegetation in general, water body and exposed soil, increasing vegetation pastures, urban, tourist attractions and temporary crops. The results showed differences between the years 1984 and 2014 in changing the landscape. The multi-temporal analysis contributed to the understanding of the need for planning in relation to the use and occupation of certain areas, minimizing impacts of anthropic actions.

O município de Bonito está localizado a sudoeste do Mato Grosso do Sul na microrregião geográfica Bodoquena, tendo a pecuária e o turismo como principais atividades econômicas. Através do ecoturismo o município tem buscado promover o desenvolvimento nas áreas sociais, econômicas e ambientais. Assim, a presente pesquisa procurou avaliar a percepção dos estudantes do ensino básico (8º e 9º anos) de uma escola municipal sobre o desenvolvimento turístico na região e a necessidade de inserção de visita técnica orientada na disciplina curricular “Noções Básicas do Turismo”. A disciplina está presente na grade curricular desde 2006, porém não promove regularmente atividades em campo. Para levantamento dos dados foi utilizada entrevista semi-estruturada e o Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras (TALP) e analisadas segundo o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) e a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS). Apesar dos estudantes terem sido favoráveis ao desenvolvimento do turismo na região de Bonito, poucos demonstraram envolvimento direto ou indireto com as atividades turísticas. No entanto, os estudantes demonstraram ter conhecimento e uma relação afetiva com a fauna local, garantindo assim a promoção da educação ambiental, sobretudo na visita orientada, para que as mesmas não tenham apenas o enfoque de lazer. A experiência com a visita orientada também permitiu o resgate da identidade da coletividade, através da afinidade e forte interação que os estudantes demonstraram com o meio ambiente. Estes resultados, entretanto, indicaram a necessidade da inserção das visitas técnicas orientadas aos atrativos turísticos de Bonito como base metodológica nas atividades escolares. Social representations of students in basic education in tourism development in the city of Bonito (MS, Brazil) The city of Bonito is located in southwestern Mato Grosso do Sul in the Bodoquena region. The economy consists primarily of ranching and tourism. Through tourism, the town has sought to promote social, economic and environmental development. This study sought to assess the perception of students in their 8th and 9th years at a public school regarding the development of tourism in the region and the need to include a field trip related to their “Basic Concepts of Tourism” course. The class has been present in the curriculum since 2006, but does not include routine field trips. A semi-structured interview and the Free Word Association Test (TALP) were used to collect data, and were analyzed using Collective Discourse of the Subject (DSC) and the Social Representations Theory (TRS). Although students felt favorably toward the development of tourism in the Bonito regions, few demonstrated direct or indirect involvement in tourism activities. However, students demonstrated knowledge of and concern for the local wildlife, thus guaranteeing support for environmental education, as noted during the visit during which students were not focused solely on having fun. The guided visit also allowed for the development of a collective identity through the affinity and deep interaction the students demonstrated with the environment. These results, however, suggest the need to include methodology-based guided field trips to Bonito’s tourist attractions in the school curriculum.

We aimed with this study to compare weed infestation in coffee under two different cropping managements: conventional coffee grown alone, or intercropped with banana plantation in a year-round basis (late spring, late summer, late fall and late winter). The experiment was installed in 2009 under field conditions at the Escola Municipal Rural Benedita Figueiró de Oliveira, in the city of Ivinhema in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Assessments of weed occurrence were made three years after employment, on both cropping systems, and density, frequency, dominance and the importance value for each plant species in each system and season were quantified. Plant diversity within each system was estimated by Simpson and Shannon-Weiner indexes. Similarity between cropping systems were also assessed by the binary asymmetric similarity coefficient of Jaccard. Absolute infestation and spontaneous species differed between the two cropping systems in all seasons. Overall species diversity is higher in the monocrop compared with the intercrop, and it is associated in this study with the higher incidence of troublesome species. Areas were similar in terms of weed composition only in the Fall. Shading provided by the banana trees shows to be an efficient culture management aiming to suppress weeds in agro-ecological planting systems.
