RESUMO
Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is a troublesome weed widely found in temperate Brazilian fields with several herbicide-resistant populations. Soil seed bank is the main source of future infestations and can be strongly affected by agricultural practices, such as crop rotation and tillage system. Therefore, this study evaluated the long-term effects of different crop rotation and tillage systems on the seed bank of Italian ryegrass. Data were collected in 2012 and 2013 in a field managed since 1985 under conventional-tillage and no-tillage and subjected to three cropping systems (monoculture, total, and partial rotation) compared to the control plot. The samples were collected at three soil depths (0-5, 5-10, and 10-20 cm) using a cylindrical soil sampler, and infestations in the field were evaluated with a sample frame of 1 m². All cropping systems reduced the soil seed bank of Italian ryegrass, regardless of soil management and sampling depths comparing to the control plot. Total and partial rotation were more effective than soil tillage to reduce the seed bank. A larger number of seeds was observed on the surface layer (0-5 cm) for all cropping systems with more uniform distribution in the soil profile in conventional-tillage. Infestation of Italian ryegrass was greater for monoculture under no-tillage in both years, whereas in total and partial rotation, regardless of soil tillage, infestations remained below 40 seedlings m². Thus, strategies to reduce the soil seed bank and infestations of Italian ryegrass should focus on cropping systems with crop rotation and no-tillage.(AU)

Roughneck Grunt (Haemulopsis corvinaeformis Steindachner, 1868) is the second most important species caught as bycatch of the shrimp fishery in Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil. However, the population dynamic of this species is poorly known in the region. The aim of this study was to describe aspects of the population structure and reproductive biology of the H. corvinaeformis, providing important information for the development of sustainable management practices. Specimens were collected monthly from August 2011 to July 2012 and quarterly from October 2012 to June 2014. A total of 1,140 individuals was collected; 340 males (29.8%), 391 females (34.3%), and 409 were immature and could not be sexed (35.9%). Total length ranged from 7 to 25 cm. In general, total length of females [12.85 ± 2.49 cm (mean± SD)] and males [12.72 ± 2.46 cm (mean ± SD)] were similar (p > 0.05). The proportion of males and females was similar along the year, except in March. The relationship between total length and total weight was statistically significant (p 0.05), showing an isometric growth. The (GSI) coupled with the distribution of maturational stages suggests that females reproduce all year around, with a peak during October-November. The length at first maturity (L50) was estimated at 11.88 cm for females and 11 cm for males.

O objetivo do estudo foi descrever aspectos da estrutura populacional e biologia reprodutiva da espécie, fornecendo informações importantes para o desenvolvimento de práticas de manejo sustentáveis. Espécimes foram coletados mensalmente de agosto de 2011 a julho de 2012, e a cada três meses de outubro de 2012 a junho de 2014. Um total de 1.140 espécimes foi coletado; 340 machos (29,8%), 391 fêmeas (34,3%), e 409 imaturos cujo sexo não pode ser identificado (35,9%). O comprimento total variou entre 7 e 25 cm. De maneira geral, o comprimento total das fêmeas [12,85 ± 2,49 cm (média ± DP)] e machos [12,72 ± 2,46 cm (média ± DP)] foram similares (p > 0.05). A proporção de machos e fêmeas foi similar, com exceção de março. As relações entre comprimento total e peso total foram estatisticamente significantes (p 0.05), mostrando um crescimento isométrico. O índice gonadossomático (GSI) associado com a distribuição dos estágios maturacionais sugerem que as fêmeas reproduzem durante todo o ano, com um pico durante outubro-novembro.

El envejecimiento poblacional marca la situación de la población cubana, que influye de manera especial en las enfermedades no transmisibles, entre ellas la diabetes mellitus (DM). La incidencia de esta enfermedad es elevada, lo que se une desde hace años a la estructura de las enfermedades y los indicadores de incidencia de las enfermedades no transmisibles, por lo que es factible pensar en la relación entre ambos factores. El objetivo del siguiente trabajo es describir la situación demográfica de la población cubana y su repercusión epidemiológica en la población con DM. La investigación se clasifica como un estudio descriptivo realizado con base en información de anuarios con información estadística de indicadores de salud pública del país desde el año 2000 hasta el 2013 y publicaciones e investigaciones nacionales relacionadas con la población y con la DM. Se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: en el país la evolución demográfica ha determinado el marcado envejecimiento; por otra parte, el análisis epidemiológico indica la disminución de enfermedades transmisibles y un aumento de las no transmisibles, en especial la DM. El comportamiento de los indicadores de la DM Tipo 1 y 2, refleja una relación con la estructura de la población, y se observa además un aumento de la mortalidad a pesar de las múltiples acciones de salud que se realizan. Se concluye que el envejecimiento de la población tiene su repercusión en la estructura de la DM, lo que provocará importantes efectos sobre la prestación de servicios de salud.
Population ageing marks the status of Cuban population, influencing in a particular form on noncommunicable diseases, specifically diabetes mellitus (DM). The incidence of this disease is high, which has been combined since many years ago to the structure of diseases and incidence indicators of noncommunicable ones. Therefore it is possible to think about a relationship between both factors. The objective of this article is to describe the situation of population with diabetes from a demographical and epidemiological perspective. The research is classified as a descriptive study based on annual reports with statistical information of public health indicators of the country from 2000 to 2013, and also publications and national researches related to the population and diabetes mellitus disease. According to it, the following results were found: in the country, demographical evolution has strongly determined. On the other hand, epidemiological analysis shows the reduction of transmissible diseases and an increase of noncommunicable ones, especially DM. The indicators behavior of DM Type 1 and 2 reflects a great relationship with population evolution. It is also observed an increase of death rate despite the multiple health activities done. As a conclusion it can be said that the population ageing has its impact on DM structure, which is going to cause significant effects on the health services provision.
