GENETIC DIVERGENCE OF RED MOMBIN IN THE NORTH OF ESPÍRITO SANTO STATE, BRAZIL

Objective: Among the various forms of cancer is penile cancer, considered as a rare neoplasm and affects 1/100,000 men in developed countries. In Brazil, these tumors correspond to 2% of malignant neoplasms in men, being five times more prevalent in the North and Northeast regions compared to other regions. Aiming to write the incidence of penile cancer in the state of Espírito Santo (ES) in the period 2000-2018. Materials and method: This is an ecological study of a descriptive, quantitative and exploratory character, as it quantifies and describes the Incidence of Penile Cancer in the State of Espírito Santo. Information regarding the years 2000 to 2018 was collected through the Hospital Cancer Registry System (SisRHC), and subsequently the data were treated in Microsoft Office Excel. Results: Despite being a pathology that has a small incidence, according to the Mortality Atlas (2020), between 2015 and 2018 it presented more than 400 deaths / year in Brazil, corresponding to 0.06% of deaths due to neoplasia, and each year, 1600 men have their penis amputated due to this pathology. Conclusion: In view of the analysis carried out in this study, it is noted that it is necessary to intervene with educational and preventive actions in order to generate effective strategies for improving public health policies, as investing in this item means reducing the percentage of new cases and ensuring better quality of life for men affected by penile cancer.

The geographical distribution and factors associated with bovine fasciolosis in the south of Espírito Santo were updated and the prevalences of this disease and of snails of the genus Lymnaea in the municipality of Jerônimo Monteiro were calculated. In the first stage, fecal samples were collected from 10% of the herds of 115 farms in 23 municipalities and interviews were conducted with owners. Generalized linear mixed models were used. In the second stage, in Jerônimo Monteiro municipality, feces and mollusks were collected from all farms registered in the milk cooperatives in the region. The mollusks were identified and examined for infection by Fasciola hepatica. Fasciolosis was diagnosed in 18 (78%) of the 23 municipalities. Of the 1157 fecal samples examined, 19.01% were positive for eggs of F. hepatica. The final model shows statistical evidence of associations between positive farms and previous cases of fasciolosis and concomitant grazing of cattle with other definitive hosts. In the evaluated farms from the studied municipality the prevalence of fasciolosis and Lymnaea was of 66.7% and 23.8%, respectively. Mollusks were found in flooded areas and the animals' drinking water troughs. The wide geographical distribution of bovine fasciolosis in the south of Espírito Santo requires control measures to prevent its expansion towards the north of this state and other places characterized as F. hepatica free-infection.

The life habits, behaviour, and colony structure of the cockroach Monastria biguttata were studied during 2 years in remnants of the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Monastria biguttata was abundant, conspicuous, and ubiquitous in the semideciduous forest in the north of Espirito Santo, Brazil. It was found in forest fragments of various sizes and disturbance levels, but never in the surrounding plantations. Adults and nymphs were found in colonies of 2.8–11.6 cockroaches, grasping the bark of the underside of dead trunks that were clumped on the ground, in the forest understory. The cockroaches were very sedentary, moved extremely slowly, and immediately froze when disturbed. Based on their brooding behaviour and aggregated distribution on trunks, they appeared to be gregarious with only a slow spread during nymphal development. Brood birth took place during the rainy period, and nymphs developed into adults in a minimum of 2 years. Brood size and egg number in oothecae were not very high (23.0 ± 1.5 and 31.1 ± 1.7 (mean ± SE), respectively). All these traits were analysed to understand the survival of species in forest fragments.

The Relationship

Abstract This article is the result of a research conducted in the villages of Regência Augusta and Povoação, in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The objective is to contribute to knowledge concerning biodiversity conservation projects and the relationships between these, local communities and emblematic species in the midst of socio-environmental conflicts. We intend to highlight some of the ways that human agents interact with each other through the relationship with other non-human agents, developing conceptions and actions in and with the world around them. The empirical analysis addresses the case of sea turtles and the environmental agents who deal with them. Those who patrol the beach are prominent in this text, but we will also consider the way in which these works form an ambiguous relationship with other knowledges and practices. The region is going through political, economic and environmental divergences related to resources and the local landscape, aggravated by the arrival of Samarco’s mud.

ABSTRACT: The peppers of the genus Capsicumhave economic potential and elevated genetic variability. The objective of the study was to characterize morpho-agronomically and estimate the genetic divergence among pepper accessions of the active germplasm bank of Capsicumof the Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo, Campus Alegre. Thirty accessions were characterized based on ten morphological descriptors being the experimental design completely randomized, with six repetitions. Genetic diversity among the accessions was estimated by the Tocher grouping method as a measurement of dissimilarity and formed eight groups. The Singh method, used to estimate the relative contribution of each character in the expression of genetic divergence, indicated that the diameter of the produce (20.19%) and the height of the plant (19.46%) were the ones to contribute most to the total divergence (39.65%) among the accessions of pepper being studied. The study evidenced the existence of high genetic variability among the accessions of C. annuumcollected in the south region of the state of Espírito Santo. No correlation was detected between the genetic distance and location of collections.

Intense Process

Resumo: Com a construção da rodovia BR101, no final da década de 1960, ligando os estados do Espírito Santo e Bahia, a região passou por um intenso processo de exploração da madeira nativa, seguida da ocupação por pastagens destinadas à criação de gado, até chegar aos cultivos de eucalipto, para produção de papel e celulose. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os conflitos ambientais provocados pela monocultura do eucalipto, no norte do Espírito Santo e no sul da Bahia, e fazer uma reflexão sobre os problemas ocasionados pela introdução da monocultura do eucalipto para atender ao setor de celulose. Este artigo traz uma revisão bibliográfica que analisa os trabalhos de Henri Acselrad e do Observatório Social, que discutem as questões conflituosas provocadas pelo avanço da monocultura do eucalipto em comunidades quilombolas e indígenas daquela região, como também faz uma análise dos documentos disponibilizados pelas empresas de celulose que atuam nos dois estados. Os conflitos das comunidades com as empresas de celulose destacam-se tanto pela ocupação do solo, como pelo avanço da monocultura do eucalipto sobre as comunidades, realidade que tem provocado resistência desses grupos, diante da expansão da atividade naquela região.Palavras-chave: Observatório social. Quilombolas. Espírito Santo. Bahia.Abstract: The construction of the BR101 highway in the late 1960s, connecting the Brazilian States of Espírito Santo (ES) and Bahia (BA), culminated in an intense process of exploration of native wood in the region, followed by pasture areas, which were later substituted by eucalyptus plantations for cellulose and paper production. The objective of this study is to present the environmental conflicts caused by the eucalyptus monoculture in the north of ES and south of BA states. There is also a consideration about the problems caused by the introduction of eucalyptus monoculture in this area, to provide the cellulose sector. This study presents a bibliographical review that analyzes the studies of Henri Acselrad and the Social Observatory which discuss the issues caused by the advance of eucalyptus monoculture in quilombola and indigenous communities in the same area of the present study. Both also make analyses of the documents provided by the cellulose companies’ operating in this area. The conflicts between the communities and the companies involve the occupation of the soil, as well as the advance of the eucalyptus monoculture over the communities’ land, a reality that has triggered resistance movements from these groups in the face of the expansion of the industries’ activity in the region.Keywords: Social observatory.
