Grape juices have been valued due to their potential health benefits, which have demanded increased grape productivity and quality. Five grape cultivars grown in Brazil, Isabel Precoce, Carmem, Violeta, Concord and Bordo were evaluated in 2013 and 2014 seasons for bioactive components and also for juice processing quality traits. Production cycle was the longest for Carmem but lower and similar for Violeta, Isabel, Bordo and Concord. Isabel showed higher productivity (5.4 kg•plant-1) but lowest soluble solids content (16.9 °Brix), anthocyanins (26.7 mg•100 g-1) and total phenolics (110.7 mg•100 g-1). The highest anthocyanins contents were observed in Violeta (189.9 mg•100 g-1) and Bordo (133.8 mg•100 g-1). These
In the Brazilian Southeast, the production of high quality wines is attained by a new management approach called double pruning. This management changes the harvesting of wine grape (Vitis vinifera L.) from wet summer to dry winter through a two pruning procedures carried out during the year. The first pruning is done during the winter to induce a vegetative cycle (all clusters are removed) and a second pruning is done during the summer to induce the reproductive cycle. In this study, ten different rootstocks were compared in order to optimize yield and wine quality of Syrah vines conducted under autumn-winter season by double pruning approach. Syrah grapevines grafted onto 'Rupestris du Lot' and 'IAC 766' showed the highest pruning weight, while '110 Richter' and '161-49 Courdec' induced the lowest cane vigor. The average production of two seasons identified 'IAC 766', 'Kober 5BB' and 'Rupestris du Lot' as the most productive rootstocks. In both seasons, the grape quality was more influenced by the plant development status than by rootstocks. 'Syrah' wine from vigorous and high yielding rootstocks, 'IAC 766' and 'Rupestris du Lot', showed satisfactory wine phenolic composition and alcohol/ acidity balance. This study showed that vigorous rootstock increased yield without compromising grape and winter wine quality of Syrah grapevines subjected to double pruning management in the Brazilian Southeast.
Miriam Lopes Costa8RESUMOObjetivo: caracterizar o perfil de pessoas idosas com diabetes acompanhados em seguimento ambulatorial de uma instituição hospitalar utilizando os dados sociodemográficos e clínicos. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, transversal, realizado com 168 idosos. Reuniram-se os dados a partir de entrevista e consulta ao prontuário, submetendo-os às técnicas de estatística descritiva, sendo realizado o teste estatístico Qui-quadrado, e os resultados apresentados em forma de tabelas. Resultados: identificou-se a prevalência três vezes maior do sexo feminino (121=72%); o número de casados foi superior às demais categorias (90=53,6%); metade recebia até um salário mínimo (58=50%); a maioria encontrava-se na faixa de 60 a 69 anos (114=67,9%); o tempo de diagnóstico do diabetes foi superior a 10 anos em 73 (43,5%) entrevistados, sendo a neuropatia diabética a complicação de maior prevalência (97=58,1%). Conclusão: reporta-se, pela realização desse estudo, a uma visão holística de alguns aspectos que são passiveis de intervenções, para a equipe multiprofissional de saúde, a qual cabe-lhe a realização da assistência efetiva e integral visando a atender as necessidades biológicas e psicossociais.

ABSTRACT Objective: to characterize the profile of elderly people with diabetes followed up at the outpatient clinic of a hospital using socio-demographic and clinical data. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study of 168 elderly people. Data was collected from interviews and consultations of the medical record, subjecting them to descriptive statistics techniques, and the Chi-square statistical test was performed, and the results were presented in the form of tables. Results: a threefold prevalence of the female sex (121 = 72%) was identified; the number of married couples was higher than the other categories (90 = 53.6%); half received a minimum wage (58 = 50%); the majority were in the range of 60 to 69 years (114 = 67.9%); the diagnosis time of diabetes was over ten years in 73 (43.5%) interviewed, with diabetic neuropathy being the most prevalent complication (97 = 58.1%). Conclusion: this study presents a holistic view of some aspects that are possible for interventions for the multiprofessional health team, which is responsible for the effective and integral assistance to meet the biological and psychosocial.

Soybean (Glycine max) is a crop of high economic power in the world, being used to produce vegetable oil, as well as a source of food for animals and humans. Recent research indicates that nutrient application in the seed stage contributes to the early and productive development of crops. Since silicon (Si), as a nutrient for plants, acts in the cellular structure and the formation and performance of plant architecture, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of silicon application via seeds on the initial growth of three soybean cultivars. The experimental design was a randomized block. The treatments were replicated three times and distributed in a 3×5 factorial scheme, composed by three soybean cultivars (C1 - FTR 1186 IPRO, C2 - FTR 1192 IPRO and C3 - FTR 3190 IPRO) and five silicon doses (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 g per 100 kg of seeds). The data were submitted to ANOVA by F-test and polynomial regression analysis for the silicon doses; the cultivars response was evaluated through the Tukey mean test. The treatment of soybean seeds with silicon did not positively influence the root dry mass of the FTR 1192 IPRO, nor the root length and root diameter of the FTR 1186 IPRO. The application of silicon did not influence the FTR 3190 IPRO.
