Many studies have been undertaken in order to find pollutants of anthropic origin found in surface waters. Recently discovered we reported the emergence of water pollution by drugs. Although present at little concentrations, the water pollution by antibiotics can be at the origin of health and environmental risks which must not be neglected. In order to quantitate their presence in domestic and hospital waste, two molecules of antibiotics: Ciprofloxacin (CIPX) and Ceftriaxone (CFX) have been the subject of this study.

Objective: To analyze the perception that professionals have about the Trans population, the meaning of gender identity; To investigate the existence of training of these professionals on the guidelines of LGBT health policies instituted by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Method: descriptive field study; exploratory and cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, conducted with 72 nursing staff. Data were obtained through a semi-structured questionnaire with open and closed questions, self-completed by participants, and were treated following Bardin's content analysis.

Companies with an innovative agribusiness profile are looking for improvements that go beyond good customer service aiming at loyalty. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze how a company linked to the sector of agricultural machinery and implements has inserted the modernization process with yours customers and to verify if it has provided greater satisfaction and loyalty. This research was conducted using an exploratory approach through literature review and case study.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as características morfológicas de mudas de cacaueiro cultivar CCN51 propagadas sexualmente sob diferentes regimes hídricos, de forma a identificar a melhor lâmina de irrigação para a produção de mudas desta cultivar. O estudo foi realizado no Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo, Campus Itapina, localizado no município de Colatina, região Noroeste do Estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil.

This work aimed to characterize the bioactive compounds of Physalis pulp and perform its rheological study due to the addition of the encapsulating agent maltodextrin that acts as thermal protector of bioactive compounds in later processing steps. Fresh pulp was characterized by the following bioactive compounds: total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, anthocyanins, total carotenoids and antioxidant activity (ABTS + and DPPH).

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) has been shown great potential productivity in Brazil due to its cultivation conditions and desirable traits of soil and climate. Much of the culture's success is due to the quality and versatility of the genetic material used, especially its phenotypic plasticity. In the western region of the state of São Paulo, its cultivation has been brought benefits, derived in part by the main cultivation system used, no-tillage system, which reduces the use of phytosanitary products that harm the environment and the use of straw from the previous crop.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the nitrogen (N) doses applied by fertigation with a surface and subsurface drip irrigation system in eggplant “Ciça”. The experiment was conducted from August 2017 to February 2018 in the irrigation and drainage area of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Federal University of Grande Dourados, in Dourados city, MS state, Brazil. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design in a subdivided plot composed of four blocks. In the plots treatments were at doses of N zero, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1.

Information regarding sesame in sorghum intercropping is very little. The present study was undertaken to determine optimum proportion of component crops and to compare the land use efficiency and economic returns of the component crops of sorghum/sesame intercropping system and enhance food security in Mieso area of oromiya region. The experiment was laid out in factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the viability of tomato grafted with Solanum paniculatum L. and Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiform in protected cultivation. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Alagoas, in the municipality of Rio Largo, AL. The statistical design was completely randomized, with three treatments (Santa Adélia tomato without grafting, grafting of Santa Adélia tomato with Solanum lycopersicum var.

In this work, we evaluated the genotypes, which allowed us to obtain flexible forms of the first generation and to study their physiological and biochemical characteristics, compared with the original parental forms. Wheat varieties were grown in two options of water availability: with optimal irrigation (control) and in limited irrigation (experience). To maintain moisture in the soil at a level of 70-75% during the growing season, irrigation was performed in control option. In the experimental version, the soil moisture was 45-50%.
