This work aims to evaluate and record the occurrence of D. lucida in a sandbank environment in the Atlantic Forest in the south of the State of Espírito Santo and to assist in the geographic update of the species occurrence. 40 pitfall traps without baits were used, consisting of plastic pots 15 cm high by 10 cm in diameter, buried in the soil so that they were with the edge at ground level, inside the pots 250 were added ml of 2% formalin solution for the conservation of captured individuals.

O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar os momentos históricos de trajetórias de luta dos diversos atores para a criação da Reserva Extrativista Marinha Mocapajuba, no nordeste paraense. O movimento social para criação de Reservas Extrativistas na Amazônia vem evoluindo em diferentes contextos ecológicos, socioeconômicos e políticos ao longo de três décadas, sendo a referida Reserva criada em 2014 a última decretada em toda a região.

Objetivo:resgatar a memória do herbário da Universidade Estadual do Maranhão – UEMA. Metodologia: através de consultas feitas a fontes documentais, depoimentos de docentes, bem como consultas ao acervo. Resultados:Para fins de cronologia se divide em três períodos distintos: 1976-1981, 1981-2009 e de 2009 até o presente. Iniciou suas atividades com a finalidade de dar suporte à disciplina de plantas tóxicas e às aulas nos cursos de Agronomia e Veterinária.

Strontium Zirconate (ZrSrO3) and hydroxide (Sr(OH2)) were synthesized, characterized and investigated as catalyst for preparing biodiesel. Both matrices were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TG and BET. Vegetable oil and methanol were used to prepare biodiesel and reaction conditions optimized by experimental design. Analysis showed that ZrSrO3 matrix sample, synthesized by citrate route, is composed by ZrSrO3, Zr0.93O2, SrCO3, Sr(OH)2, and Sr(OH)2.H2O phases. ZrSrO3 used as catalyst produced high ester content biodiesel, 98.0%.

A precária situação carcerária brasileira e sua permanência no que se convencionou chamar, no Brasil, de “estado de coisas inconstitucional”, culminou no reconhecimento pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, por meio da Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental n. 347, de 2015 da inconstitucionalidade do sistema prisional brasileiro. O objetivo do presente foi buscar compreender os limites e possibilidades de aplicação da Teoria da Cegueira Deliberada como causa do Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional no sistema prisional no Brasil e no Estado de Rondônia.

Non-cultivated plants that produce nectar and pollen, are already seen as important sources of food for bees, supporting the development of beekeeping and meliponiculture. Stingless indigenous bees are fundamental to ecosystems, considering their efficiency as pollinators. The objective was to identify the main botanical species of non-cultivated plants explored during the foraging of meliponines, during the four climatic seasons of the year, and the capacity of the Jataí bee (Tetragoniscaangustula), as pollinator of these plants.

The diabetic foot represents a clinical problem with repercussions on the quality of life but also an economic one. Self-care of the feet can prevent ulcers and consequently amputations in diabetic people. Aim: To evaluate the effects of health education actions in the foot care of people with diabetes. Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. The descriptors used were “Nursing,” “Self-care,” “Disease Prevention,” and “Diabetic Foot,” associated with the Boolean operators AND and OR. The final data collection resulted in ten articles.

The cagaita (Eugenia dysenteric DC) is a native fruit from Cerrado with a globose shape, light yellow color, and slightly acidic taste. Besides having functional properties, making it is widely used in chronic constipation treatments. It is a fruit with a unique flavor and can be used in agro-industries in ice cream, jams, jellies, juices, and the like. This work's objective was to present the technology used in extracting of fruit pulp from Eugenia desynterica DC since harvest time until the storage process and its physicochemical characterization.

Tomato is considered one of the most important vegetable species, because in addition to its use in natura, it can also be processed in several ways, such as extract, pulp, sauce and peeled tomato. This article aimed to evaluate the processing of tomatoes from the Paraná’s Supply Center (CEASA) in Maringá/PR and from a rural property located in the region of Maringá/PR. To perform the study, samples of tomatoes were collected and their quality was assessed by means of physical-chemical, microbiological analysis and determination of lycopene content.

A perda de integridade da pele pode ser devida a fatores como traumas, intervenções cirúrgicas e feridas crônicas. A sua cicatrização é um processo dinâmico, interativo e difícil, que pode, ainda, ser comprometido ou até inibido por infecções bacterianas. A maioria das lesões cutâneas cicatriza naturalmente, entretanto, feridas graves necessitam de tratamento, no qual são utilizados os curativos. Um curativo ideal deve adaptar-se à superfície de aplicação, impedir a desidratação e a penetração de microrganismos.
