ESCUELA Y TRAYECTORIAS ESCOLARES Y SOCIOPRODUCTIVAS. ESTUDIO DE CASOS DE JÓVENES DE FAMILIAS MIGRANTES BOLIVIANAS DEL PERIURBANO HORTÍCOLA PLATENSE
Escuela, Trayectorias escolares, Jóvenes migrantes bolivianos hortícolas Abstract This work seeks to account for the relationships between the traditional format school and the school careers of young people from Bolivian migrant families engaged in horticulture, who are in economic, social and educational vulnerability. For this, the school and socio-productive trajectories of twenty-one selected young people will be described. [...]the characteristics of the medium level educational institution attended by these young people and their school culture in the periurban horticultural sector of La Plata during the years 2011-2017 will be analyzed. The methodology to be used will be qualitative and data collection/co-construction techniques, surveys, in-depth interviews and participant observation will be implemented, and in turn, the School's files will be used.

P-44 Horticultural therapy group
BackgroundFollowing a presentation to therapy colleagues on the benefits of horticultural therapy (HT) for clients with a range of health problems it was felt that clients attending our day hospice may benefit from a similar project.During conversations with day hospice attendees it was found that several clients had voiced their sadness that they were no longer well enough to tend to their own gardens and it was something they dearly missed. Following meetings with our colleagues, the therapy team agreed to pilot a six- month HT group.Two small successful funding applications allowed us to start in the Spring of 2016.AimTo provide two sessions per week, alternating days on a fortnightly basis. Each session lasting for approx one hour to include a variety of indoor and outdoor activities and run by an occupational therapist, assisted by our TI and faithful band of volunteers.MethodParticipation is voluntary. Numbers vary week on week dependent on the changing nature of their health status. Whilst there is a degree of planning we are guided by what clients and volunteers bring with them and their own ideas thereby ensuring they feel fully included in our overall aim to develop a patio are for all to enjoy.Ongoing evaluationThe quick five question evaluation form centres around how the session has made our clients “feel” in terms of enjoyment, confidence, inner peace and energy. Results so far indicate significantly improved feelings and we have found clients eager to join the next group, often bringing in donations as well as their advice and expertise!ConclusionWe are hopeful that following final evaluations, results will indicate a positive impact on those who have attended sessions and will lead to further funding to continue HT in our day hospice setting.

Cela a amené au développement d'une nouvelle méthode ECAST, dédiée à la capture et au transfert des connaissances tacites et explicites incorporées dans les gestes professionnels. 4 Elsa Laneyrie et Aurélie Landry proposent les résultats d'une étude visant à comprendre comment, face à l'émergence des risques psychosociaux (RPS), favoriser la pluridisciplinarité entre inspecteurs du travail, médecins du travail et psychologues du travail en étudiant les représentations qu'ont les uns sur les missions des autres dans...

Manipulating Photon Flux Density, Photon Spectrum, and Photoperiod to Improve the Greenhouse Production of Specialty Cut Flowers
Year-round demand for locally sourced specialty cut flowers continues to increase in the U.S., but growers in northern regions cannot produce them outdoors or in high-tunnels year-round due to poor environmental conditions during the winter and early spring. Thus, they must use greenhouses to maintain a proper lighting environment to capitalize on demand during these seasons. Our objectives for Expts. 1 and 2 were to a) determine how photoperiod influences morphology of marigold ‘Xochi’ (Tagetes erecta), witchgrass ‘Frosted Explosion’ (Panicum capillare), and dianthus ‘Amazon Rose Magic’ and ‘Amazon Neon Cherry’ (Dianthus barbatus interspecific) young and finished plants, and b) quantify how photoperiod and daily light integral (DLI) influence floral initiation and quality of witchgrass and dianthus. For Expt. 3, we sought to quantify how supplemental radiation quality influences floral initiation and finished quality of three long-day specialty cut flowers. Marigold was harvestable when young plants were grown under photoperiods ≥11 h or a 4-h NI, and finished under 12-h photoperiods. Witchgrass was harvestable when young plants were grown under photoperiods ≥14 h or a 4-h NI, and finished under photoperiods ≥14 h. Dianthus was harvestable when young and finished plants were grown under 9- to 16-h photoperiods, or a 4-h NI. Additionally, cut flowers should be grown under a DLI of ≥10 mol·m–2·d–1. Godetia, snapdragon, and stock cut flowers should be grown under supplemental light with a spectrum similar to B20R85FR15 or a broad spectrum, for desirable crop quality and minimal developmental, visibility, and energy tradeoffs.

Effects of Plant Growth Regulators and Weather on Bitter Pit Incidence in ‘Honeycrisp’ Apple
Bitter pit is a physiological disorder of apple linked with Ca deficiency and characterized by dark lesions on the surface of fruit. The commercially important cultivar ‘Honeycrisp’ is highly susceptible to the disorder. In-planta Ca transport occurs exclusively in the xylem; therefore, Ca deficiency in fruit is primarily the result of gradual xylem dysfunction. Because auxin promotes xylogenesis, we hypothesized that early-season applications of both native and synthetic auxins and ABA would improve xylem longevity and functionality resulting in higher Ca concentrations in fruit and reduced bitter pit. Using several experimental approaches, we demonstrate that auxins and ABA significantly prolong xylem function and markedly reduce bitter pit incidence. A multiple regression model was also developed to correlate temporal climatic data with bitter pit incidence over multiple years and disparate sites throughout Michigan. Collectively, results suggest potential novel uses of plant growth regulators to mitigate bitter pit.
