Les effets du changement climatique combinés avec la diminution des surfaces de pâturage impactent sur la biodiversité végétale. De ce fait, une bonne gestion des parcours est nécessaire pour une amélioration de l’alimentation du bétail. Dans cette mouvance une étude a été menée au niveau des parcours de la zone d’emprise du CRZ de Kolda en 2018 dans le but de les caractériser (diversité floristique et biomasse) et de connaitre l’influence pédologique sur la strate herbacée. L’inventaire floristique a été réalisé par la méthode d’échantillonnage aléatoire sur des surfaces de 1m2.

O consumidor do turismo no espaço rural busca aproximação com ambientes naturais e com a ruralidade e, em muitos casos, a atividade turística é desenvolvida por propriedades de agricultura familiar.

Several hydrological models make use of surface runoff estimates, among which the soil water balance method developed by the Research Group on Water Resources of the Federal University of Viçosa stands out. This method, which is used in software for dimensioning terraces and other soil conservation structures, requires knowledge of the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) equation in the site of interest. This note presents an adaptation of this method for the model of intense rainfall equation obtained by disaggregating daily rainfall.

The construction of biblical texts runs through the discussion about the incarnation by divine inspiration in the construction of texts. Thus, this dialogue involves studies of literary theory, as well as a philosophical debate about the problem of authorship and the Theology of Inspiration of the Bible, as a collection of books that count on the divine and human presence. This human and divine brought together make it possible to deal with the limitations of language, as well as the analysis of symbolic elements, meanings and other components proper to literary texts.

Lesions in the anterior cruciate ligament are one of the most common, requiring surgical intervention in many cases. Post-surgery brings functional repercussions to the patient, showing the importance of a rehabilitation focused on factors that will provide improvement in strength, stability and safety for the resumption of sports practice. The aim of this study is to analyze, through the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire, the patient's level of functionality after discharge from rehabilitation of the anterior cruciate ligament surgery.

Introduction: In utero nutrition is a crucial period for establishing and maintaining epigenetic landmarks of the offspring, as well as impacting the reproductive system of the mother and offspring. Objective: To conduct a literature review on the changes that maternal obesity causes in the maternal and offspring reproductive system.

Among the vector-borne zoonoses, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is one of the most important, because, if left untreated, it can have a high mortality rate in humans. Objective: This study was conducted to assess the knowledge of individuals about VL. Methods: The research is characterized as a quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study, with a sample population of 736. A structured questionnaire was developed involving comprehensive questions related to knowledge about VL and made available through an online platform.

Industrialized tomato is the vegetable most consumed worldwide and due to its content of bioactive compounds and antioxidants, such as lycopene and carotene, is considered functional food. Color is one of the most important appearance parameters, which defines quality. With the recent advances in computer power and memory of personal computers, the artificial vision system can be applied in the selection or online classification of agricultural products.
