In this study, a biodegradable alloy Zn-42Mg-4Ca alloy fabricated by powder metallurgy was evaluated. The idea was to create an alloy that could optimize the good behaviors of some recognized biocompatible elements as zinc, magnesium, and calcium. The alloy's corrosion resistancewas investigated, evaluating its biodegradation behavior in a simulated physiological environment and the potential-dynamic polarization curve.

Os comportamentos alimentares anormais e as práticas inadequadas de controle de peso estão associadas à angústia pessoal e à baixa autoestima, sendo comumente expressados pela insatisfação com o peso corporal. Não existe um fator único que determine o surgimento de um transtorno alimentar, podendo-se afirmar que as causas podem ser de ordem genética, familiar, cultural e/ou psicológicas (aspectos da personalidade). Sobre a análise dos instrumentos, vale questionar, será que só os questionários são suficientes para compreender a imagem corporal?

The cashew nut sector has contributed to the mitigation of local climate change by achieving in 2018 a carbon footprint of - 349,711 tCO2eq. However, shell burning in landfills has degraded the carbon footprint of that sector, reaching an additional + 34,844 tCO2eq of greenhouse gas emissions. This therefore justifies the study of sustainable thermochemical recovery of these agro-industrial wastes and the evaluation of the environmental potentialities.

The use of socio-environmental indicators favors the understanding of the dimensions of sustainability, configuring itself as a support tool in the decision-making process and formulation of sustainable actions and practices. Subsidized by this assumption, this article has as main objective to generate qualitative and quantitative indicators on fourteen Solidarity Economic Enterprises - EESof Family Agriculture, linked to Rede de Cooperação Solidária de Mato Grosso – RECOOPSOL.

The increase in the production and consumption of medicines associated with their incorrect disposal can compromise human and environmental health. Objective: To evaluate household disposal of medicines and perception of damage to the environment by the population of Frutal - MG, Brazil.

This study presents the morphological characteristics of the stomach in E. sexcinctus focusing on the composition and distribution of gastric cells, relating the function of each region of the armadillo's stomach. Three stomachs of adults were used in this study. Each stomach was examined by macroscopy. Samples from various parts of the stomach were taken for routine histological examination. The stomach of E. sexcinctus is similar to the stomach of a carnivore, but it has macroscopic and microscopic characteristics that differentiate it from these.

In health institutions to cope with COVID-19, a range of professionals is required, both health workers and support services such as servants, maids, security personnel and all have different working hours, workload and different professional categories. The present work seeks to analyze the performance of health professionals as well as the difficulties faced in their work environment and the importance of these professionals in the fight against COVID-19 in Belém do Pará.
