Ichthysm is defined as accidents caused by fish, being considered a public health problem, with low lethality rates, but with high morbidity among humans. Affecting people who go to beaches, streams or fish for animals such as riverside dwellers. However, in the literature there is no record of ichthysm in pregnant women. Therefore, we present two cases of pregnant women with stroke. Who were injured by freshwater stingrays. The age group of the pregnant women was between 25 and 40 years old. Both had brown skin color, lived in the urban area and suffered the accident in Alter do Chão.

Recent studies point to the increasing importance of facial expression recognition (FER) in different application areas like healthcare and assistive technologies. Among these, computational diagnosis and evaluation of mental or facial diseases, machine-assisted rehabilitation, clinical psychology and psychiatry, pain monitoring, can be highlighted. FER also plays a relevant role in the case of diagnosis or assessment of cognitive impairments, such as autism and schizophrenia. The literature shows that FER systems effectively working in a health setting is still an open research problem.

The main objective of this work is to present a method proposal for containers sizing aimed to the storage and transport of C&D wastes at construction sites. For this, a survey of the main containers used for storage of different types of waste was carried out and the sizing of the containers was performed through a case study that was applied to residential buildings. Results of the generation estimate per pavement identified the predominance of 24.49 m³ (0.078m³/m²) of mortar, concrete and ceramic waste (class A) at the structure and sealing phases.

Les mécanismes de sélection des sites de larviposition des glossines sauvages sont encore peu connus. Des enquêtes longitudinales d’identification des gîtes potentiels de larvipositionont été réalisées au niveau de la galerie forestière, en février 2019 et en janvier 2020. Tous les sites ont été géoréférencés afin de connaitre le statut temporaire ou permanent des gîtes. Les émergences des pupes collectées ont été suivies au laboratoire. Les glossines émergées ont été identifiée sur la base des caractères morphologiques.
