Erosion is one of the main causes of soil degradation. Model validation is a vital step in developing a valid and applicable tool to predict soil erosion. The aim of this study was to evaluate models that predict the cover and management subfactor (CiII) for interrill erosion. A full factorial design was used, with five doses of corn residue (0; 0.05; 0.15; 0.40 and 0.80 kg m-2), four slope gradients (5.2%; 10.6%; 15.3% and 36.4%) and two repetitions, under simulated rainfall. Di and the CiII were assessed in 0.5 x 0.75 m experimental plots, with recently tilled soil.

O expressivo aumento da população idosa tem sido registrado em todos os continentes do globo, constituindo hoje um dos maiores desafios para os sistemas públicos assistenciais. No Brasil, estatísticas demográficas apontam que, para o ano de 2060, teremos a sexta população mais velha no mundo. Diante do cenário referido, o presente estudo visa a atender dois objetivos conexos: descrever o perfil de envelhecimento populacional do município de Foz do Iguaçu/PR no período de 2000 a 2019 e; traçar o perfil sociossanitário dos usuários idosos acompanhados pela Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF).

Objective: to investigate the Quality of Work Life among nursing professionals in a specific inpatient unit for COVID-19 care. Method: descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data were collected through the instrument Total Quality of Work Life-42, whose score ranges from 0 to 100, considering that the highest value represents the best quality of work life score; and a form for social and labor characterization of the participants. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyzes were applied. Results: the general score for Quality of Work Life was 59.9±7.9.

Arboviruses are still diseases considered a global threat to public health, being transmitted by the vector Aedes aegypti, belongs to the family Culicidae. They are hematophagous mosquitoes in which they adopt humans as amplification hosts to ensure the transmission of arboviruses. Aiming at an alternative proposal with the use of a plant source in vector control, the present study aims to evaluate the chemical composition and larvicidal activity of hydroalcoholic extracts of Seeds of Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex Spreng).

Objetivou-se estimar a prevalência de doenças e agravos em saúde mental em quilombolas do município de Feira de Santana, Bahia e analisar possíveis fatores associados. Trata-se de estudo transversal, com 864 (≤18 anos). Foram utilizados três instrumentos validados para coleta de dados. As doenças mais prevalentes foram agrupadas por análise fatorial, assim como foi feita análise multivariada, ajustada por sexo e idade.
