ABSTRACT Baru tree (Dipteryx alata) is an arboreal, fruitful plant native to the Cerrado biome with an important socioeconomic impact. Populations of this species are a good model to study anthropogenic disturbances on the biome through the genetic information. In this study, we developed seven new polymorphic microsatellite markers for D. alata, using an enriched genomic library. We performed loci characterization in three populations, obtaining a total of 49 alleles, with an average of 5 to 5.57 alleles per locus. A significant content of polymorphic information was obtained, as indicated by the average expected heterozygosity (uHE), with a total average of 0.58 to 0.65 per locus. The average value of the observed heterozygosity (Ho) was also high, with a total average of 0.73 to 0.85 per locus. Some of the loci are in linkage disequilibrium, such as DalatG6 with DalatB3, DalatH3 and DalatB4. The estimate of the combined loci for the probability of paternity exclusion obtained an average value of 1.00 for all loci, and the average combined probability of identity, the values were (1.210^-5) to (4.410^-6). All markers are informative and suitable for studies on genetic diversity and population structure, aiming at the conservation and management of the species.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the physical characteristics of pequiá fruits in the Cerrado areas of Nova Xavantina-MT, and to determine the influence of native vegetation on fruit biometry and productivity. The research question was whether proximity to fragments of native vegetation increases the productivity of pequiá fruit. In 2017 and 2018, 40 ripe fruits that had fallen to the ground were collected from three locations, two of which were close to native vegetation and one of which was close to crops and pastures. The highest values were observed in fruits collected in 2018, when there was more rainfall, and in fruits from the locations close to native vegetation, indicating that the presence of native vegetation can provide ecosystem services that promote the productivity of pequiá fruits. These findings have important implications for the conservation and management of Cerrado ecosystems.

RESUMO Esta pesquisa pautou-se na análise do desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico acerca da Internet das Coisas (IoT) aplicada ao ambiente da saúde na perspectiva da inovação, tendo como insumo artigos científicos e documentos de patentes relacionados ao tema. A prospecção realizada a partir dos critérios delimitados possibilitou o mapeamento, nos últimos dez anos, de 217 artigos e 177 patentes relacionados à temática, em nível global. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se os parâmetros da análise bibliométrica seguida da análise de conteúdo, permitindo a identificação dos autores com maior produtividade (Lei de Lotka), a vinculação destes autores, a dispersão histórica das publicações e dos periódicos que difundem o assunto (Lei de Bradford), as abordagens predominantes das publicações (Lei de Zipf) e os países e as áreas de destaque em publicações científicas e tecnológicas. O panorama delineado aponta que o desenvolvimento da temática ocorreu a partir de 2010 liderado por países asiáticos, com uma produção científica mais desconcentrada e predominantemente vinculada às Universidades, enquanto a produção tecnológica apresenta maior concentração e vinculação com empresas, porém, com convergência no discurso comum. Dentre as tendências identificadas, sobressai o monitoramento remoto de pacientes.

ABSTRACT This study provides an analysis of the scientific and technological research on the applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) within the field of health care. It focuses on innovations and is based on scientific articles and patent documentation. The search for data, which was global in scope, was based on specific criteria and enabled a mapping of 217 articles and 117 patents involving the IoT applied to health care over the last 10 years. Bibliometric analysis was applied to the data, followed by content analysis. The analyses applied herein identified the most productive authors (Lotka’s law), their affiliations, the distribution of publications over time, the core journals in which this topic is distributed (Bradford’s law), the predominant approaches used in the publications (Zipf’s law), and the countries and regions in which this scientific and technological research is most commonly performed. This topic was found to have been most heavily researched since 2010, and this research is led by countries in Asia. Scientific research on this topic is predominantly affiliated with universities, while technological research on this topic is more likely to be affiliated with corporations, though their discussions and conclusions are consistent. Among the topics of study identified, the most frequent was the remote monitoring of patients.

O percevejo-de-renda Leptopharsa heveae Drake & Poor (Hemiptera: Tingidae) é uma das mais importantes pragas da heveicultura no Brasil, principalmente nas regiões Sudeste e Centro-Oeste. Devido ao seu hábito sugador, na face abaxial das folhas, esta praga leva à senescência precoce das mesmas e a reduções na produção de látex em até 30%. Dentre os inimigos naturais de L. heveae está o parasitoide de ovos Erythmelus tingitiphagus (Soares) (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), regulando suas populações em condições naturais. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a dinâmica populacional deste parasitoide, bem como correlacioná-la com os fatores meteorológicos temperatura e pluviosidade, em plantio comercial de seringueira do clone PB 217, em Itiquira, MT. Semanalmente foram coletadas quatro folhas maduras por árvore, no terço inferior da copa de 40 árvores, totalizando 160 folhas por amostragem, no período de agosto de 2006 a janeiro de 2007. Houve correlação positiva entre a dinâmica populacional e os fatores meteorológicos, sendo o pico populacional do parasitoide observado no mês de novembro e declinando até janeiro na área estudada.

The lace bug Leptopharsa heveae Drake & Poor (Hemiptera: Tingidae) is one of the most import heveiculture pests in Brazil, mainly in the southeast and central-west regions. Due to its sucking habit on the abaxial surface, this pest causes precocious senescence in leaves, and leads to the reduction in latex production in up to 30% of them. Among the natural enemies of L. heveae is the egg parasitoid Erythmelus tingitiphagus (Soares) (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), regulating populations of L. heveae in natural conditions. The objective of this work was to verify the population dynamics of this parasitoid, as well as to correlate it with meteorological factors such as temperature and rainfall, in a commercial plantation of rubber trees of the PB 217 clone, in Itiquira, in the Mato Grosso state, Brazil. Four mature leaves were collected weekly, on the lower stratum of canopy of PB 217 clone in 40 trees, totaling 160 leaves in each sampling, from August, 2006 to January, 2007. There was a positive correlation between population dynamics and meteorological factors, the population peak of the parasitoid being observed in November and declining until January in the study area.
