The present work had as objective to evaluate the yield of two varieties of fava in function of application of organic compost and dairy waste. The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm belonging to the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE). The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design in a factorial scheme [(2x3) + 4], with two varieties of Lima bean, three forms of organic fertilization plus four additional controls, in three repetitions. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and treatment means, compared by the Tukey test (P <0.05).

A 16-year-old male cockatiel (Nymphicushollandicus) was presented with a multinodular mass at the base of the second and third digits of the right foot. Manipulation resulted in amputation of the toes. The bird showed emaciation, respiratory signs, and died. Histology revealed an infiltrative neoplasm in the deep dermis and underlying bone tissue composed of epithelial cells arranged in cords and nests. Neoplastic cells demonstrated intense immunolabeling for the anti-pan cytokeratin antibody. A severe necroheterophilic bronchopneumonia was also observed.

This study aims to analyze the distribution between both the regular practice of unsupervised physical activity and physical inactivity among newcomers to a gym, their anthropometric profiles, and a possible correlation with obesity or overweight. The participants were 217 subjects with an average age of 29.89 ± 2.88 years. The sample was stratified by gender (66 men and 151 women) and subsequently sub-classified by history of regular but unsupervised physical activity or physical inactivity (72 active and 145 inactive).

The growing popularity of catch-and-release fishing and consequent injuries to fish need to be studied to develop species-specific techniques that limit damage. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that the hook type used in catch-and-release fishing affects fish health.

Objective: To analyze the existence of correlation between the diagnosis of Leprosy and the experience of stigma suffered/perceived by the patient of the disease.

The species Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D. Penn., belongs to the Sapotaceae family, is native to the Caatinga, and currently some of its populations are going through an increasingly scarcity. Studies focused in the obtaining of seedlings of forest species using industrial residues as components of substrates have been the subject of some research, however, there is lack of information for many species, including for Sideroxylon obtusifolium. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of Sideroxylon obtusifolium seedlings in different substrate composition.

The species Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D.Penn. has environmental, economic, ecological and social importance, but despite that, the native populations are difficult to be located. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production of Sideroxylon obtusifolium seedlings at different levels of shading. The experiment was carried out in the forest nursery of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba, in Areia - PB.

A successful investment environment normally has positive earnings trend that ultimately beneficial for the stakeholders. In efficient market environment better earnings encourages healthy investment. However, in Pakistan enough attention has not yet been paid to this area which resulted in unsatisfactory growth of investment. Pakistan is now emerging as one of the efficient and potential market for investors; therefore, identification of investment sectors which generate healthy returns is inevitable.

O atrito é a força com a qual os engenheiros se deparam em seus projetos mecânicos, sendo extremamente importante de ser analisada, pois causa diversos efeitos indesejáveis, como o desgaste de componente. Os estudos de atrito costumam ser realizados em ambientes de difícil acesso para graduandos devido a equipamentos que requerem conhecimento e técnicas especificas, o que dificulta o aprendizado pratica para os alunos em formação na área.

The impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on field work in Preventive Archeology is the theme of this article, which aims to discuss the prevention protocols against the new coronavirus practiced by companies that contracted Archeology services in Brazil during the year 2020, combined with this, to observe the pressures and insecurities suffered by archeology professionals in the context of their work activities in the field during the pandemic process. The research was carried out based on the analysis of the experimental reports of Archaeologists who worked in the field during the pandemic.
