ASPECTOS HISTÓRICO-ARQUITETÔNICO-SÓCIO-RELIGIOSO DA CAPELA N. SRA. DO CARMO DE QUIXERAMOBIM

O grupo de estudo Arquitetura e Religiosidade da Faculdade Católica Rainha do Sertão aborda a relação entre arquitetura e religiosidade, partindo da compreensão de que a religião sempre fez parte do cotidiano do povo brasileiro desde a época da colônia, marcada por diversas culturas, dentre elas, a europeia, associada aos princípios espirituais, suas crenças e costumes

Combined effects of calcium sources and water restriction on fruit yield and quality of ‘Ataulfo’ and ‘Kent’ mangoes

IntroductionMango is Brazil’s leading fruit export in terms of both volume and value. Competitiveness in the international market demands high-quality fruits free from physiological disorders, with calcium (Ca2+) nutrition and irrigation management being key factors in this context. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of calcium sources and preharvest water restriction on yield and postharvest quality of ‘Ataulfo’ and ‘Kent’ mangoes grown in the São Francisco Valley, Brazil.MethodsTwo experiments (‘Ataulfo’ and ‘Kent’ mangoes) were conducted in a randomized block design, arranged in a 2 × 4 factorial scheme (with and without water restriction; no Ca2+, calcium chloride - CaCl2, calcium complexed in organic acids - Ca-OA, and calcium complexed in amino acids -Ca-AA), with four replicates. Variables related to yield, physicochemical quality, mineral composition of the pulp, and cell wall-bound calcium were assessed.ResultsThe application of complexed calcium sources (Ca-OA and Ca-AA) improved fruit quality and fruit yield, with cultivar-specific responses. Ca-OA was moreeffective under full irrigation, whereas Ca-AA was more efficient under water stress, by decreasing the N:Ca ratio and increasing cell wall-bound calcium.DiscussionFor ‘Ataulfo’, the use of Ca-AA combined with preharvest water deficit is recommended. For ‘Kent’, irrigation should be maintained, and Ca-AA should be used as the preferred calcium source. The combination of complexed calcium and irrigation management can optimize mango production and quality in semiarid regions

The Timing of Daily Demand for Goods and Services – Multivariate Probit Estimates and Microsimulation Results for an Aged Population with German Time Use Diary Data

Though consumption research provides a broad spectrum of theoretical and empirical founded results, studies based on a daily focus are missing. Knowledge about the individual timing of daily demand for goods and services, opens – beyond a genuine contribution to consumption research – interesting societal and macro economic as well as individual personal and firm perspectives: it is important for an efficient timely coordination of supply and demand in the timing perspective as well as for a targeted economic, social and societal policy for a better support of the every day coordination of life. Last not least, the individual daily public and private living situations will be visible, which are of particular importance for the social togetherness in family and society. Our study contributes to the timing of daily consumption for goods and services with an empirical founded microanalysis on the basis of more than 37.000 individual time use diaries of the nationwide Time Budget Survey of the German Federal Statistical Office 2001/02. We describe the individual timing of daily demand for goods and services for important socio-demographic groups like for women and men, the economic situation with income poverty and daily working hour arrangements. The multivariate microeconometric explanation of the daily demand for goods and services is based on a latent utility maximizing approach over a day. We estimate an eight equation Multivariate/Simultaneous Probit Model, which allows the decision for multiple consumption activities in more than one time period a day. The estimates quantify effects on the timing of daily demand by individual socio-economic variables, which encompasses, personal, household, regional characteristics as well as daily working hour arrangements within a flexible labour market. The question about individual effects of an aged society on the timing of daily demand for goods and services is analyzed with our microsimulation model ServSim and a population forecast for 2020 by the German Federal Statistical Office. Main result: There are significant differences in explaining the timing of daily demand for goods compared to services on the one hand and in particular for different daily time periods. The conclusion: without the timing aspects an important and significant dimension for understanding individual consumption behaviour and their impacts on other individual living conditions would be missing

Prevalencia de dolor lumbar entre practicantes de CrossFit: un estudio transversa

O crossfit compreende uma modalidade decondicionamento físico caracterizada por uma variedadede padrões de movimento, atividades e sistemas deenergia usados. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigara prevalência de dor lombar pontual de praticantesbrasileiros de crossfit nos últimos 12 meses e em algummomento da vida. Trata-se de um estudo transversalelaborado para atingir o maior número possível departicipantes e, para isso, foi criado um questionárioeletrônico utilizando uma plataforma online (GoogleForms). O convite para participar da pesquisa foidistribuído a praticantes brasileiros por meio do Facebooke do Instagram. Foram coletadas informações sobre ador lombar pontual, no último ano e em algum momentoda vida. Dos 309 participantes incluídos, 90,3% (n=279)relataram já ter sentido dor lombar em algum momentoda vida, enquanto 75,1% (n=232) relataram pelo menos umepisódio de dor lombar nos últimos 12 meses e 15,5% (n=48)relataram estar com dor lombar enquanto respondiamao questionário.

Prevalence of low back pain among CrossFit participants: a cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT CrossFit is a physical conditioning modality characterized by various movement patterns, activities, and energy systems. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of occasional low back pain in the 12 months prior the study and during the lifetime of Brazilian practitioners of CrossFit. This is a cross-sectional study designed to reach the largest possible number of participants. To achieve this, an electronic questionnaire was created using an online platform (Google Forms). The invitation to participate in the research was distributed to Brazilian practitioners via Facebook and Instagram platforms. Data were collected on prevalence of low back pain at three time points: current (occasional prevalence), in the past year, and at any moment in life (lifetime prevalence). Of the 309 participants included, 90.3% (n=279) reported low back pain at some point in their lives, whereas, 75.1% (n=232) reported at least one episode of low back pain in the last 12 months, and 15.5% (n=48) reported having low back pain while answering the questionnaire. Although low back pain was frequent among CrossFit practitioners it was generally occasional episodes, of moderate intensity and not severe enough to limit the participants’ usual activities or routine
