    Can plants hear?
    Flora may be able to detect the sounds of flowing water or munching insects

        Pseudoscientific claims that music helps plants grow have been made for decades, despite evidence that is shaky at best. Yet new research suggests some flora may be capable of sensing sounds, such as the gurgle of water through a pipe or the buzzing of insects.
        In a recent study, Monica Gagliano, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Western Australia, and her colleagues placed pea seedlings in pots shaped like an upside-down Y. One arm of each pot was placed in either a tray of water or a coiled plastic tube through which water flowed; the other arm had dry soil. The roots grew toward the arm of the pipe with the fluid, regardless of whether it was easily accessible or hidden inside the tubing. “They just knew the water was there, even if the only thing to detect was the sound of it flowing inside the pipe,” Gagliano says. Yet when the seedlings were given a choice between the water tube and some moistened soil, their roots favored the latter. She hypothesizes that these plants use sound waves to detect water at a distance but follow moisture gradients to home in on their target when it is closer.
        The research, reported earlier this year in Oecologia, is not the first to suggest flora can detect and interpret sounds. A 2014 study showed the rock cress Arabidopsis can distinguish between caterpillar chewing sounds and wind vibrations – the plant produced more chemical toxins after “hearing” a recording of feeding insects. “We tend to underestimate plants because their responses are usually less visible to us. But leaves turn out to be extremely sensitive vibration detectors,” says lead study author Heidi M. Appel, an environmental scientist now at the University of Toledo.

    Leia o poema “A última nau”, da obra Mensagem, de Fernando Pessoa, para responder à questão.

    Levando a bordo El-Rei D. Sebastião,
    E erguendo, como um nome, alto o pendão
    Do Império,
    Foi-se a última nau, ao sol aziago1
    Erma2 , e entre choros de ânsia e de pressago3
    Mistério.

    Não voltou mais. A que ilha indescoberta
    Aportou? Voltará da sorte incerta
    Que teve?
    Deus guarda o corpo e a forma do futuro,
    Mas Sua luz projeta-o, sonho escuro
    E breve.

    Ah, quanto mais ao povo a alma falta,
    Mais a minha alma atlântica se exalta
    E entorna,
    E em mim, num mar que não tem tempo ou spaço,
    Vejo entre a cerração teu vulto baço
    Que torna.

    Não sei a hora, mas sei que há a hora,
    Demore-a Deus, chame-lhe a alma embora
    Mistério.
    Surges ao sol em mim, e a névoa finda:
    A mesma, e trazes o pendão ainda
    Do Império.

        É fato sabido que a trajetória de João Cabral começa num surrealismo despojado da escrita automática, passa pelo ardor da construção e da lucidez, discute a pureza e a decantação da poesia antilírica e, descartando a desconfiança (então em moda) quanto à possibilidade de dizer o mundo e os seus conflitos, assume, de Morte e vida severina em diante, o lado sujo da miséria do Nordeste.

    Leia um trecho do artigo de Lira Neto para responder à questão.

        [...] dia desses, uma equipe de reportagem de um canal por assinatura veio até minha casa para me entrevistar sobre a Era Vargas. O repórter que conduziria a conversa advertiu- -me, antes de o operador ligar a câmera: “Pense que nosso telespectador típico é aquele sujeito esparramado no sofá, com uma lata de cerveja numa mão e o controle remoto na outra, que esbarrou na nossa reportagem por acaso, durante o intervalo de um filme de ação”, detalhou. “É para esse cara que você vai falar; pense nele como alguém com a idade mental de 14 anos.”
        Sou cortês, mas tenho meus limites. Quase enxotei o colega porta afora, aos pontapés. Respirei fundo e procurei ser didático, sem me esforçar para parecer que estava falando com o Homer Simpson postado ali do outro lado da lente. Afinal, como pai de duas crianças, acredito que há uma enorme distância entre o didatismo e o discurso toleirão, entre a clareza e a parvoíce.

    The Healing Power of Music


    What better “medicine” than a “treatment” that has only positive side effects and “therapy” that is actually enjoyable? Music is shown to have the ability to help organize the brain; especially vital to those who are afflicted with Alzheimer’s.

    Studies have shown that the results of a musical therapy session last for several hours afterward. Positive results include elevated mood, increased socialization and appetite and reduction in agitation. These benefits are attributed to the stimulation the brain receives during a music therapy session, a sort of “cognitive workout”.

    As speech, writing and traditional forms of communication are compromised, music provides an alternative means of maintaining a connection, thereby helping to normalize interaction between caregiver and patient. Music used therapeutically creates an environment where the patient can be nurtured and cared for in a way that is safe, gentle and appropriate. Music is central to maintaining human bonds when those with dementia have lost the ability to initiate communication or to respond verbally.

    The powers of music when focused and used therapeutically are many. Critical to maintaining quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s is management of emotions and preserving the connection with others. Music is conducive to keeping those connections strong as long as possible while helping the participant to focus, increase awareness and orient to the environment. A number of research studies have looked at music therapy as an important adjunct to medical treatment and findings suggest a possible link between the use of music and slowing the progression of dementia.

    Music is primal to life and expressed by each of us every day whether through dancing to a favorite tune, keeping rhythm with a pencil or remembering a special time when hearing a forgotten melody. It is central to our lives and is embedded in our culture, defining how we acknowledge milestones, rites of passage and celebrations as well as providing comfort, transformation and inspiration.

    The Healing Power of Music


    What better “medicine” than a “treatment” that has only positive side effects and “therapy” that is actually enjoyable? Music is shown to have the ability to help organize the brain; especially vital to those who are afflicted with Alzheimer’s.

    Studies have shown that the results of a musical therapy session last for several hours afterward. Positive results include elevated mood, increased socialization and appetite and reduction in agitation. These benefits are attributed to the stimulation the brain receives during a music therapy session, a sort of “cognitive workout”.

    As speech, writing and traditional forms of communication are compromised, music provides an alternative means of maintaining a connection, thereby helping to normalize interaction between caregiver and patient. Music used therapeutically creates an environment where the patient can be nurtured and cared for in a way that is safe, gentle and appropriate. Music is central to maintaining human bonds when those with dementia have lost the ability to initiate communication or to respond verbally.

    The powers of music when focused and used therapeutically are many. Critical to maintaining quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s is management of emotions and preserving the connection with others. Music is conducive to keeping those connections strong as long as possible while helping the participant to focus, increase awareness and orient to the environment. A number of research studies have looked at music therapy as an important adjunct to medical treatment and findings suggest a possible link between the use of music and slowing the progression of dementia.

    Music is primal to life and expressed by each of us every day whether through dancing to a favorite tune, keeping rhythm with a pencil or remembering a special time when hearing a forgotten melody. It is central to our lives and is embedded in our culture, defining how we acknowledge milestones, rites of passage and celebrations as well as providing comfort, transformation and inspiration.
