Since the onset of the flood in Rio Grande do Sul
which began with the first recorded instances of flooding on April 27th in the municipalities of Canoas
has been conducting the Landless Solidarity Campaign in Rio Grande do Sul to aid the over 2.1 million people affected by the heavy rains and floods in the state to date
several actions are also being developed to alleviate the suffering of affected families
six MST settlements have been affected in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre and the central region of the state
They are: Integração Gaúcha (IRGA) and Colônia Nonoaiense (IPZ) in Eldorado do Sul; Santa Rita de Cassia e Sino in Nova Santa Rita; September 19th in Guaíba; and Tempo Novo in Taquari
with homes flooding and the loss of planted and stored food production
Losses are also significant in relation to structures
and products for sale from cooperatives and agro-industries located in these settlements
all Agroecological Rice production in the planted area and in stock for marketing
the floods and storms that have hit Rio Grande do Sul since the end of April have already resulted in the deaths of 147 victims
The Civil Defense bulletin also records 127 people missing and 806 injured
The number of people away from home reaches 617,000
Here is a summary of MST’s main solidarity actions in the state:
Rescues of people from public shelters and other locations to MST spaces
The Movement welcomed 13 families from the Integração Gaúcha settlement (IRGA)
who had their homes and crops flooded in the Hugo Chaves settlement
together with the Cooperativa de Produção Agropecuária dos Assentados de Tapes-RS (COOPAT)
Families from the Apolônio de Carvalho settlement
were also rescued and brought to the settlement headquarters
Families from the Integração Gaúcha settlement (IRGA) were also welcomed at the headquarters of the 19 de Setembro settlement
in Guaíba and at the school and homes of families from the Padre Josimo settlement
Given the concern about feeding these homeless families
the MST set up a solidarity kitchen in the Filhos de Sepé settlement
Around 1,500 lunch boxes are distributed daily to affected families in Eldorado do Sul
Part of this food is destined for families in the Padre Josimo settlement
who are isolated but were not directly affected by the floods
Landless are also organizing the production of meals at the headquarters of the Apolônio de Carvalho settlement to serve the families there
and meals are being made daily for families hosted in the Hugo Chaves settlement
with the involvement of around one hundred volunteers
Solidarity lunch boxes are delivered to five shelters that are welcoming homeless people
Check out more information and find out how to support the Kitchen on social media on Instragram @armazemdocampo.pel and @solidaritypelotas2024
Donation of Hygiene and Cleaning materials
The MST organized 200 hygiene kits and cleaning materials for cleaning work in houses where the water has already receded
in Nova Santa Rita; Colônia Nonoaiense (IPZ) and Apolônio de Carvalho
with the cost of renting backhoes and bucket trucks for the services
the Landless are sending basic health kits to homeless families
in places where there is access for the material to reach people
For the medical and psychological care of homeless Landless families in the state
the Movement is organizing a Health Brigade with doctors trained in Cuba
Venezuela and other doctors who support the Network of Popular Doctors and the José Marti Association
The intention is also to create a Network of Supporters for Mental Health
Contributions are essential for the approximately 2.1 million people affected by storms and floods to date in Rio Grande do Sul

Metrics details
In forest genetic improvement programs for non-domesticated species
limited knowledge of kinship can compromise or make the estimation of variance components and genetic parameters of traits of interest unfeasible
We used mixed models and genomics (in the latter
considering additive and non-additive effects) to evaluate the genetic architecture of 12 traits in juçaizeiro for fruit production
A population of 275 genotypes without genetic relationship knowledge was phenotyped over three years and genotyped by whole genome SNP markers
We have verified superiority in the quality of the fits
the prediction accuracy for unbalanced data
and the possibility of unfolding the genetic effects into their additive and non-additive terms in the genomic models
Estimates of the variance components and genetic parameters obtained by the additive models may be overestimated since
when considering the dominance effect in the model
and amount of pulp were strongly influenced by the dominance effect
showing that genomic models with such effect should be considered for these traits
which may result in selective improvements by being able to return more accurate genomic breeding values
The present study reveals the additive and non-additive genetic control of the evaluated traits and highlights the importance of genomic information-based approaches for populations without knowledge of kinship and experimental design
Our findings underscore the critical role of genomic data in elucidating the genetic control architecture of quantitative traits
thereby providing crucial insights for driving species' genetic improvement
the species does not have registered varieties available in the seed market
which generates concerns regarding its acceptance in establishing commercial orchards
genetic improvement programs play a fundamental role in acceptance of the culture
They aim to promote procedures that provide more productive and higher-quality industrial varieties
due to the long juvenile period of the species
improvement cycles are long and costly and may require more than 15 years between recombination and the development of a new variety
the use of molecular markers can represent significant savings for breeding programs
since establishing and developing experimental plots
as well as conducting controlled crosses in species for which there is limited knowledge of their pollination system
can be complex and require greater financial resources to develop a complete pedigree for in-depth evaluation of the genetic control of traits of interest
genetic markers can be a viable alternative to accelerate the more comprehensive evaluation of genetic control of traits and provide more information to breeders
this study aimed to use a whole genomic genotyping of DArTseq-derived SNPs to provide insights into the genetic structure controlling traits of interest to improve fruit production of the juçara palm tree
as well as comparing the efficiency of models with different genetic effect structures
The vegetation cover layer was sourced from the open-source Stamen Map server
Due to variations in fruit production and the restrictive measures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic
the years of evaluations and the number of genotypes evaluated for each trait differed
The initial determination of plants to be evaluated in the research followed two basic criteria: they had to have reached physiological maturity
and they had to be in good phytosanitary condition
12 productive and industrial traits of interest were evaluated
Number of bunches per plant (NBP) measured throughout the four years of the study
evaluated by counting the number of bunches with fruit
The other variables were evaluated in 2018
Fruits were harvested only when they reached the point of industrial maturation
which was determined every year by the same employee at the juçaizeiro fruit processing plant
Fruit weight per bunch (kg) (FWB) by weighing in kilograms (kg) the fruits extracted from the bunch of each genotype
the number of rachillas per bunch (NRB) was measured in these genetic materials by counting the number of rachillas inserted into the center rachis
which was then measured using a tape measure
evaluating the rachis length (cm) (RL) in centimeters (cm)
A fruit sample of each genotype was obtained
packed in properly identified plastic bags
and sent to the Plant Biometry Laboratory at the Federal University of Espírito Santo
where morphometric evaluations of fruit and seeds were carried out following a completely randomized design
The weight of 25 fruits (g) (WF) and the weight of 25 seeds (g) (WS) were evaluated in grams (g) in four replications per genotype
the difference between the morphometric traits of fruits (WF) and the morphometric traits of seeds (WS) resulted in the amount of pulp in 25 fruits (g) (AP) in grams
The following formula was used to obtain the pulp yield (%) (PY):
where AP is the amount of pulp and WF is the fresh mass of 25 fruits
measurements beyond this number increase cost and evaluation time
After verifying the quantity and quality using a NanodropTM 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific)
the genomic DNA was sent to Mexico for genotyping high throughput using the DArTseqTM methodology at the Genetic Analysis Service for Agriculture (SAGA)
The SNP markers were of the codominant type, and the molecular dataset underwent the quality control process carried out in R36
using a Call Rate of 90% and MAF (Minor Allele Frequency) of 5%
starting with 44,457 markers and keeping 8112 for use in the analysis
Three models were employed to predict breeding values in the context of genetic improvement: BLUP and two genomic models (GBLUP)
The first model considered only the additive effects (GBLUP-A)
while the second considered the additive-dominant effects (GBLUP-AD)
Traditional BLUP the prediction of breeding values using the BLUP model was performed in R36 using the SOMMER package version 3.4
where \(y\) is the phenotype vector; \(X\) is the fixed effect incidence matrix (year); \(\mu \) is the fixed effects vector (mean and year); Z is the random effects incidence matrix considered as genotype
and a is the vector of additive genetic effects considered random with \(a \sim N (0
where \(A\) is the kinship matrix via pedigree
the relationship is completely unknown; hence \(A\) is an identity matrix \(I\); \({\sigma }_{a}^{2}\) is the additive genetic variance
and \(\varepsilon \) is the residual vector assumed to be random \(\varepsilon \sim N \left(0,I{\sigma }_{e}^{2}\right),\) where \({\sigma }_{e}^{2}\) is the residual variance
Genomic BLUP (GBLUP) the GBLUP model is similar to BLUP
So GBLUP replaces the A matrix with the genomic kinship G matrix derived from the marker information
The genomic breeding values (GEBVs) are predicted using the model below:
where W is the centered marker matrix as presented by Vitezica et al
\({W}_{ij}=\left\{2-{2p}_{j},1-{2p}_{j},{-2p}_{j}\right\}\)
where \({W}_{ij}\) is the element of the ith row and jth column of the marker matrix
and \({p}_{j}\) is the allele frequency of the marked jth
where \({Z}_{1}\) and \({Z}_{2}\) are the incidence matrices of the additive and dominant genetic effects
considered random; \(d\) is the random-effect vector of dominance
D is the genomic relationship matrix for dominance effects generated from marker information
and \({\sigma }_{d}^{2}\) is the genetic variance of dominance
where \({S}_{ij}=\left\{-2{\left(1-{p}_{j}\right)}^{2},2{p}_{j}\left(1-{p}_{j}\right),-2{p}_{j}^{2}\right\}\)
with \({S}_{ij}\) as the elements of the ith row and jth column of the S matrix
and \({p}_{j}\) as the allele frequency of the jth marker
The methodologies were compared based on the theoretical accuracy of breeding values (r)
The r estimates were estimated using the following expression:
and \({\sigma }_{g}^{2}\) is the genetic variance
AIC41 was calculated as follows:
where log(L) is the logarithm of the residual likelihood function (LL)
and k is the number of estimated parameters
BIC42 can be written as:
where \(v\) is the number of residual degrees of freedom
Predictive ability was estimated by the correlation between the predicted breeding values of each BLUP
\(\widehat{g}\) e \(\widehat{u}=\widehat{g}+\widehat{d}\)
respectively) and the phenotypic mean of the evaluated years of each genotype (y)
subdividing the population into five folds
220 of which were destined to constitute the training population and 55 to constitute the validation population
The average predictive ability (\({r}_{y,\widehat{u}}\)) and the standard error were calculated with the results obtained
The variance components were obtained via the REML method
where \(H^{2}\) is heritability in the broad sense; \({h}_{a}^{2}\) is heritability in the narrow sense; \({\sigma }_{a}^{2}\) additive genetic variance; \({\sigma }_{d}^{2}\) is the variance related to the dominance deviation
and \({\sigma }_{e}^{2}\) is residual variance
To verify the influence of insertion of dominance in the model
the relationship was established between \({\sigma }_{a}^{2}\) of the GBLUP-AD model
which for the discussion of this relationship
and the \({\sigma }_{a}^{2}\) of the model GBLUP-A
to verify the magnitude of the dominance effect as a function of the total variance
a relationship was established between \({\sigma }_{d}^{2}\) and \({\sigma }_{f}^{2}\) of the GBLUP-AD model:
The experimental research and field studies on plants—Our studied population complies with pertinent legislation
The plant samples were collected in a commercially managed juçaizeiro plantation in the municipality of Rio Novo do Sul in the state of Espírito Santo—Brazil
originating from the process of natural recomposition and seed launch in a pasture area
We had the owners' authorization for all data collected and received support from the companies Açai Juçara and Bonaloti for the research development
We are so grateful to Pedro and Vicente Bortoloti and their families
We also confirm that all methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines
the group of traits related to fruit production in the field (NBP
showed the greatest changes when considering the dominance effect on the structure of the model
We observed the similarity between the broad-sense heritability (H2) estimates by the GBLUP-AD and the narrow-sense heritability (h2) obtained by the BLUP and GBLUP-A methods
Table 4 shows the estimates of PEV
genomic models GBLUP-A and GBLUP-AD provided a better fit with more accurate breeding value predictions than the conventional BLUP
This is because genomic models generally show lower estimates of PEV
close or higher estimates of theoretical accuracy
and lower values of AIC and BIC compared to conventional BLUP
The Maximum Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) between genomic models indicated a significant dominance effect for the traits FWB, NBP, WF, and AP, as seen in Table 3 by higher values of d2 (0.27
respectively) and lower values of \({RL}_{aa}\) (0.32
the GBLUP-AD and GBLUP-A models showed no statistical differences by the LRT
it is worth mentioning that r had higher values for the RL trait
and AIC and BIC presented lower values for the model that considers the dominance effect
even with better-fit quality indicated by AIC and BIC
Standard error of the mean and mean predictive ability (\({r}_{y,\widehat{u}})\) of the GBLUP-A and GBLUP-AD models for the traits number of bunches per plant (NBP); fruit weight per bunch (kg) (FWB); rachis length (cm) (RL); number of rachillas per bunch (NRB); weight of 25 fruits (g) (WF); weight of 25 seeds (g) (WS); amount of pulp in 25 fruits (g) (AP); pulp yield (%) (PY); equatorial and longitudinal diameter of fruits and seeds (mm) (EDF
Furthermore, except for NR, the traits related to fruit production in the field (CR, MFC, and NC) presented lower \({r}_{y,\widehat{u}}\), with estimates below 0.30. The morphometric traits of fruits and seeds (MFS, MFF, REND, QP, DLF, DEF, DLS, and DES) had a higher performance for GEBVs, with \({r}_{y,\widehat{u}}\) above 0.35 (Fig. 2)
Assessing the productive behavior of juçaizeiro (Table 1) is of great importance for growers and stakeholders involved in the crop as it enables an understanding of the productive behavior of this plant and facilitates future estimates of output and profit
It is also worth mentioning that the experimental area evaluated received no cultivation treatments
the productive aspects have significant potential for increasing yield by implementing management practices that lead to short-term changes
there is a high potential that genetic advances can be obtained in the juçaizeiro breeding programs in the coming years
which will contribute to establishing the species in the fruit sector and maximizing economic gains in fruit production
and GBLUP-AD were evaluated to estimate the variance components
with the objective of assessing the efficiency of genomic selection and genetic control of several productive traits of the juçaizeiro
This species is in the early stages of improvement
and our study aimed to provide information on its genetic control of several traits of interest to fruit production
only additive effects are incorporated into the genetic value prediction models
which are unaware of the kinship between individuals
we utilized not only morphometric aspects but also data related to fruit yield and incorporated dominance effects into additive models through the knowledge of kinship among individuals
this is the first study to include dominance in the genetic control study of juçaizeiro traits
since the dominance effects will not be transmitted to the selected materials due to the propagation method used
Although dominance is not considered in seed recommendations for commercial plantations
it plays a crucial role in the species' breeding program
a deeper understanding of the genetic control structure and the magnitude of these effects under the traits of interest is essential for decision-making by genetics breeders
By quantifying the effects that explain the observed phenotypic variation
breeders can optimize selective gains and use more effective methods
knowledge of dominance associated with genetic divergence among individuals becomes essential for promoting the capitalization of the heterotic effect through controlled crosses
seeking better results in the population of the second selection cycle
In addition to being a crucial aspect for developing offing hybrids, understanding the dominance effect is fundamental to detecting disturbing effects in selecting superior genetic materials50
estimating these variance components becomes unfeasible due to the requirement to conduct a large number of controlled crosses and experimental areas
crop development time can delay the species improvement program
taking at least 10 to 15 years to estimate genetic effects such as dominance
considering that the tested materials originate from controlled crosses
genomic techniques have proven effective for the juçaizeiro by providing rapid
in-depth information about the genetic control of its traits and improving estimates of additive genetic effects
Including dominance effects in the model brought more noticeable improvement to the traits FWB
the \({r}_{y,\widehat{u}}\) values considering dominance were superior to the GBLUP-A models
indicating the importance of including this effect in the additive model for estimating individual GEBVs
the lower \(r\) values observed for the traits generally have a high magnitude
and even though the LRT revealed the non-existence of differences among traits between the methods
the use of the dominance effect is justified for understanding genetic control of the traits
whose estimation terms contain both the additive effect of the homozygote and the dominant effect of the heterozygote \(\alpha =a+d\left(q-p\right),\) leading us to believe the dominance effect is confounded in this estimate
resulting in overestimations by this latter model
the \({\sigma }_{a}^{2}\) estimated by GBLUP-A is close to the \({\sigma }_{g}^{2}\) estimates obtained by GBLUP-AD
resulting in similar h2 and H2 estimates between the methods
and NRB) are more influenced by environmental effects than morphometric variables (WF
NRB stands out from the others in terms of genetic control
Such improvements are fundamental for the juçaizeiro
removing the dominance effects from estimates of additive effects can increase selective accuracy and promote greater future gains
highlighting the relevance of genomic techniques in the studied population
the presented results contribute to improving the understanding of the genetic structure that governs part of the phenotypic variation of quantitative traits of productive and industrial interest
the importance of including the dominance effect to obtain a more realistic partitioning of genetic variance in its additive and non-additive terms is evident by the reduction of h2 for most traits
Predictive ability is a striking measure of comparison among the models tested in this study
Since conventional BLUP does not provide any pedigree information
the genetic values predicted by this method for untested materials correspond to the average; consequently
For the models based on genomic information
estimates of \({r}_{y,\widehat{u}}\) among the traits are distinct and associated with several factors
This is further evidence of the superiority of genomic methods over the traditional method
We found estimates of \({r}_{y,\widehat{u}}\) with mean values below 0.55; Since this is an initial study applying genomic techniques in natural populations
hypotheses were raised for techniques that require complementary studies to improve the results observed for the experimental condition tested
may be an alternative to maximize predictive abilities
This method not only uses molecular marker information but also benefits from the correlated effects among the traits of individuals whose genetic value is being predicted to improve the predictions of a key trait
we conclude that the model that included the dominance term improved the selection of superior genetic materials
Our findings on model adjustment parameters and predictive capabilities show that genomic methods are superior to conventional BLUP for the juçaizeiro
The superiority of genomic prediction is further confirmed by the fact that it allows a more in-depth study of the genetic control of traits
which is not possible by BLUP due to the complete absence of knowledge of kinship between individuals
this method would require great effort and financial resources
in addition to the time that would easily exceed 15 years of research
which presented variance due to dominance equal to zero
the models that considered only the additive effects presented estimates of the variance components and genetic parameters greater than the GBLUP-AD model
indicating that including the dominance effect corrects overestimations
genetic gains can be estimated with greater accuracy from the results generated by the GBLUP-AD model
demonstrating the importance of estimating the dominance effect for productive traits in juçaizeiro

Além da reclassificação da intensidade do desastre
também houve a inclusão de municípios na declaração estadual
foram identificados 46 municípios em estado de calamidade e 320 em situação de emergência
o Decreto 57.626 entra em vigor na data da publicação (21/5)
retroagindo seus efeitos a 13 de maio de 2024
O tema das inundações no Rio Grande do Sul dominou as redes sociais e motivou 7,7 milhões de publicações, que tiveram 71,1 milhões de engajamentos entre 7 e 13 de maio. Essa é uma das conclusões de um estudo produzido pelo Instituto Democracia em Xeque (DX)
ao qual a Agência Pública teve acesso exclusivo
A organização aponta que 4,3 milhões de postagens envolviam desinformação
e renderam pelo menos 28 milhões de engajamentos O estudo atribuiu 75% das interações nesse tipo de conteúdo à extrema direita
cuja produção foi classificada como “contínua” e “massiva”
O levantamento usou uma amostra de quase 2.500 publicações no Facebook
X (antigo Twitter) e TikTok para elencar as principais narrativas das mensagens contendo desinformação no período.
os conteúdos com dados falsos classificavam como incompetente o socorro prestado pelas Forças Armadas
abordavam a já desmentida recusa de ajuda do Uruguai pelo governo brasileiro
acusavam o Estado de ineficiência burocrática e de censurar críticos
além de manter um suposto conluio com os veículos de comunicação
as postagens propagaram negacionismo climático e denunciavam suposto superfaturamento de purificadores de água
bem como a suposta apropriação de doações de voluntários pelo governo
O instituto fez também uso de amostras de cerca de 150 grupos do Telegram
em que se multiplicaram teorias conspiratórias
incluindo alegações falsas que sugeriam o uso de tecnologias de indução climática no episódio para justificar supostas medidas autoritárias em resposta à crise
do Programa de Pesquisa Ativa de Alta Frequência de Auroras (Haarp)
desenvolvida pela Universidade de Alaska Fairbanks na década de 1990
não tem capacidade de manipular o clima e é usada para estudar ondas eletromagnéticas na atmosfera
A ex-assessora especial da Secretaria Nacional para Direitos Digitais do Ministério da Justiça Estela Aranha ressaltou como em casos de tragédias “as comunidades se encontram mais vulneráveis
os indivíduos afetados e a população em geral experimentam nervosismo ou ansiedade e geralmente há escassez de informações de que precisam”
“Não é um fenômeno novo ou exclusivo do Brasil como vimos na epidemia da covid-19
Temos relatos que as notícias falsas interferiram nos esforços de resposta ao furacão Katrina [nos EUA]”
reforçando o temor da descredibilização de autoridades em momentos de crise e como esse cenário pode impactar até mesmo as doações em socorro às vítimas
O estudo avaliou que figuras do campo progressista assumiram a missão nas redes de combater conteúdos com desinformação
Um dos perfis com maior alcance e engajamento no período foi o do empresário e influenciador Felipe Neto
cuja ação de levar purificadores de água para o Rio Grande do Sul virou tema de conteúdos falsos ao longo da semana analisada
Neto afirmou que o comportamento durante a crise das inundações seria uma demonstração do funcionamento do discurso de ódio e da extrema direita
“O interesse deles em me atacar é movido apenas para que pessoas não me validem como um ser humano digno
é fundamental desumanizar aqueles que não fazem parte do seu grupo
o objetivo de destruir os inimigos políticos é muito maior que o de salvar vidas”
o movimento percebido nas redes sociais de ataque ao Estado e às Forças Armadas tem como alvo maior as eleições municipais deste ano e as presidenciais de 2026
o movimento de negação da política nascido em 2013
que teria ajudado a eleger o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro
“Toda essa narrativa do ‘povo pelo povo’ acaba tocando muito na questão de que
as pessoas na linha de frente não veem o poder público porque não têm essa leitura ampla do Estado que não é só presidente e ministros
Segundo o pesquisador associado do instituto Alexsander Dugno Chiodi
os militares supostamente teriam sido alvo de extremistas devido a um não engajamento integral na tentativa de golpe de Estado do dia 8 de janeiro de 2023
[e] as denúncias do Mauro Cid em relação ao governo passado
observamos vários expoentes da extrema direita se colocando contra o Exército e as Forças Armadas”

Embora não seja tão reconhecida no masculino, a Ferroviária é um clube de grande tradição no futebol feminino, que foi fundado em 2001 e é um dos poucos a assinar carteira profissional das jogadoras desde 2017. No ranking da CBF, divulgado em fevereiro desse ano, o time ocupa a 4ª posição.
Campeãs da Copa do Brasil e do Brasileiro em 2014 e da Libertadores em 2015, as Guerreiras Grenás eliminaram das quartas de final o Santos pelo segundo ano consecutivo e avançaram para a semi, onde enfrentam o Kindermann, de Santa Catarina, neste sábado (7) a partir das 18h (de Brasília) no Estádio Fonte Luminosa, em Araraquara.

O clube do interior paulista ainda é um dos poucos a ser comandado por uma técnica. Tatiele Silveira está no comando do time desde o início de 2019.
Uma das grandes revelações é Luana Menegardo. Nascida em Rio Novo do Sul, no Espírito Santo, a meio-campista compõe o elenco da Ferroviária desde 2014. Ela já esteve presente em grandes conquistas do time, como a Libertadores. Na época, tinha apenas 16 anos.
A Ferroviária foi convidada pela CBF para participar da Libertadores deste ano, que começa no dia 11 de outubro, no Equador. A vaga ficou para o time após ruptura da equipe do Rio Preto e foi para o Flamengo, que optou por jogar os Jogos Mundiais Militares na China durante o mesmo período.
Na seleção brasileira, Luana também teve algumas passagens pela sub-20. Ela disputou a Copa do Mundo da categoria em 2016 e o Sul-Americano de 2018. “É um lugar onde toda jogadora quer estar e tive a oportunidade de representar o nosso país em alguns campeonatos, foi um lugar onde aprendi, amadureci e cresci muito como atleta e como pessoa”, disse.

Tendo como maior ídolo a Formiga por identificação pessoal, Luana começou a jogar futebol por influência do pai e irmão, que também jogavam. Desde sempre, ela treinava em escolinhas para crianças, mas não muito diferente de outras garotas, não tinha meninas para jogar.

O pai a apoiou muito durante toda trajetória e
já que ela precisava tirar do próprio bolso dinheiro para viagens
O teste que fez pela Ferroviária foi a última tentativa para dar certo na carreira
“Vim para cá e coloquei aquilo na minha cabeça
a Ferroviária não tinha alojamento para base
o que ainda exigia do pai que pagasse tudo
Luana comemora classificação para as semis do Brasileiro com a lateral-esquerda Barrinha Jonatan Dutra/Ferroviária SAFoi quando
subiu para o profissional e as coisas começaram a melhorar
ela conta que as coisas foram acontecendo: profissional
como ela mesmo definiu: “Foi uma coisa atrás da outra
aconteceu tudo muito rápido depois que comecei a jogar aqui”
reconhece os dois grandes jogos contra o Santos e disse que a equipe está trabalhando muito pesado visando o Kindermann
“Sabemos da qualidade delas porque também tiveram méritos para chegar até aqui
mas vamos usar o fator casa para fazermos um com resultado aqui em Araraquara”
