Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a análise agroclimática aplicada à cultura do melão na região sudoeste mato-grossense, visando a identificação das áreas com aptidão para o cultivo do melão e a geração de subsídios que contribuam para o planejamento da produção, de acordo com as diferentes épocas do ano, e redução de risco na tomada de decisão do plantio. A metodologia consistiu na aplicação de ferramentas geotecnológicas associadas a banco de dados climáticos processados em ambiente SIG. As classes de aptidão para a cultura do melão foram obtidas pela combinação dos mapas de geomorfologia, pedologia, temperatura, precipitação e unidades ambientais de Mato Grosso. Os resultados demostraram que a maior concentração pluvial ocorre entre os decêndios 1 a 9, 30 e 36, com maior estiagem nos decêndios 16 a 24. As temperaturas médias anuais variaram de 22 ºC e 26 ºC com mínimas entre 14 ºC e 21 °C e máximas atingindo 30ºC a 33°C. O período ideal para a semeadura deve ocorrer a partir do decêndio 11, finalizando a semeadura no decêndio 22, para que a colheita ocorra antes da estação chuvosa. Os municípios que apresentaram uma maior janela de aptidão foram: Cáceres, Curvelândia, Glória D’Oeste, Lambari D’Oeste e Mirassol D’ Oeste. Concluiu-se que há municípios da região sudoeste de Mato Grosso que apresentam potencial para o cultivo do melão, podendo esta cultura constituir-se em uma das alternativas de geração de renda para a agricultura familiar. A B S T R A C T The objective of this study was to perform agro-climatic analysis applied to melon crop in Mato Grosso southwest region, to identify areas of suitability for growth of melons, generating subsidies that contribute to the production planning, in accordance with different times of year, and reduce risk in decision making planting. The methodology consisted in applying geotechnology tools associated with climatic database processed in SIG environment. Classes of suitability for the melon crop were obtained by combining the maps of geomorphology, pedology, temperature, rainfall and environmental units of Mato Grosso. Results demonstrated that most rain concentration occurs between the decendial 1 to 9, 30 and 36, with higher drought during periods from the decendial 16 to 24. Annual average temperatures ranges from 22 ºC to 26 ºC with minimum temperatures between 14 °C and 21 °C and maximum temperature reaching from 30 °C to 33 °C. The Ideal period for sowing should occur from the decendial 11, ending the sowing at the decendial 22, so the harvest must occur before the rainy season. The municipalities that had larger window of suitability were Cáceres, Curvelândia, Glória D' Oeste, Lambari D' Oeste and Mirassol D' Oeste.It is concluded that there are municipalities in southwest region of Mato Grosso that have potential for melon cultivation, and this could form themselves into one of the alternatives to generate income for the family farm.  Keywords: Geotechnology, zoning, regional planning, climate suitability.

Abstract Farming computer games enable the ‘desk chair countryside’—millions of people actively engaged in performing farming and rural activities on-line—to co-produce their desired representations of rural life, in line with the parameters set by game creators. In this paper, I critique the narratives and images of farming life expressed in the popular computer game ‘Stardew Valley’. Stardew is based on a scenario whereby players leave a [meaningless] urban desk job to revitalize the family farm. Player are given a choice to invest in the Community Center or to support ‘JojaMart’, a ‘big-box’ development. The farming narrative demonstrates the hallmarks of classical American agrarianism: farming as the basic profession on which other occupations depend, the virtue of hard work, the ‘natural’ and moral nature of agricultural life, and the economic independence of the farmer. More recent discourses of critical agrarianism are noticeably absent, particularly in relation to environmental protection. Conflict is centred on urban-based big business, whereas the farm is represented as a ‘bolt-hole’ or sanctuary from urban life. I argue that embedding issues of big-box development in gameplay enrols players in active reflection and debate on desirable responses, whereas the emphasis on reproducing classical agrarian tropes risks desensitizing game players to contemporary agrarian social and environmental justice issues. However, Stardew Valley gameplay implicitly reinforces the ideal that low input farming is the way that agriculture should be practiced. The success of the game in eliciting on-line debates, and the requirement for active performance and decision-making, demonstrates the specific potential of computer games as mediums for influencing and intervening in ongoing reworking of farming imaginaries, and enabling more critically engagement of the ‘desk chair countryside’ in important global debates.

The Ideal

The ideology of state-ibuism has always been interwoven with how the New Order regime until nowadays government constructing the “ideal” role of women in the family and community through the PKK (Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga) organization. However, in Cangkring Village, Indramayu, the ideology of ibuism works not because of the massive government regulating the role of women through the PKK organization, but it is possible because of the structure of the kampung community itself. Through involved observations and in-depth interviews about a kindergarten in the village, a group of housewives who dedicated themselves to teaching in kindergarten were met without getting paid high. From these socio-cultural phenomenons, this paper will describe descriptively and analytically that housewives in the Cangkring village are willing to become kindergarten teachers because of their moral burden as part of the warga kampung and also from community pressure from people who want their children to be able to read and write.

This is not the first time that great universities have had to shut their doors during an epidemic. And there is perhaps a lesson for all students about what can happen during a shutdown. In 1665, Cambridge University closed as the bubonic plague swept across England. Isaac Newton, a 22-year-old student, was forced to retreat to the family farm, Woolsthorpe Manor. Isolated there for more than a year, on his own he revolutionized the scientific world. Newton said that this shutdown freed him from the pressures of the curriculum and led to the best intellectual years of his life.

Bat flies were surveyed between March, 2007 and February, 2008, in the Carnijó Private Natural Heritage Reserve (08° 07′ S and 35° 05′ W), an area of Atlantic Rainforest in the municipality of Moreno, in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Bats were captured biweekly using mist nets set during six hours each night. The ectoparasites were collected with tweezers and/or a brush wet in ethanol and stored in 70% ethanol. The specimens are deposited in the zoological reference collection of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul. Sixteen species of streblid bat flies were collected from 10 bat species of the family Phyllostomidae. Thirteen of the these streblid species were recorded for the first time in Pernambuco.

Coleoptera of the family Geotrupidae play an important ecological role in the decomposition of animal and plant organic matter. In Brazil there is little information on the diversity and distribution of this group, thus, this work had a purpose to study Geotrupidae species, occurring in Aquidauana, MS. A survey for geotrupids was conducted in Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Beetles were captured using a light trap over a period of two years, from January 2006 to December 2007. A total of 907 specimens were collected and identified to eight species. From the subfamily Bolboceratinae, the species identified were Bolbapium minutum (Luederwaldt, 1929) and Pereirabolbus castaneus (Klug, 1845). In the subfamily Athyreinae the species identified were Athyreus bilobus Howden & Martínez, 1978, Parathyreus aff. bahiae, Neoathyreus aff. julietae, N. sexdentatus Laporte, 1840, N. centromaculatus (Felsche, 1909) and N. goyasensis (Boucomont, 1902). Four species (A. bilobus, N. centromaculatus, N. goyasensis and P. castaneus) are reported for the first time in Aquidauana, MS, Brazil. The most abundant species, representing 85.9% of the total capture, was B. minutum. The greatest numbers of specimens was caught from October to December of both years of the study.

The coccidian Caryospora bigenetica was first described in the snake Crotalus horridus (Viperidae) from United States of America. This study represents the first record of the occurrence of C. bigenetica in snakes in South America. Feces were sampled between November 2013 and May 2014 from 256 wild snakes maintained in scientific breeding facilities in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS; n = 214) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ; n = 42), Brazil. Caryospora bigenetica was found in 14 (5.6%) snakes, all belonging to the family Viperidae. Ten Bothrops moojeni and two Crotalus durissus from MS were infected. The coccidian was also found in one C. durissus and in one Bothrops jararacussu from the state of RJ. The oocysts were spherical with a double wall, the exterior lightly mammillated, striations apparent in transverse view, 13.0 µm (12 – 14); polar granule fixed in the internal wall. Sporocysts oval or pyriform, 10.0 × 8.0 µm (9 – 11 × 8 – 9); Stieda body discoid; sub-Stieda body present; sporocyst residuum present, formed by a group of spheroid bodies between sporozoites. This study increases the number of viperid hosts of C. bigenetica and expands the geographical distribution to South America.
