The environment, the natural space in which we live, is of great importance for the survival of all species. Since the industrialization process, in the 17th century, the world's population has been causing damage to the environment, such as the excessive consumption of biological resources. With the perception that something needed to be revised, several environmental actions were propagated, and with them, the dissemination of Environmental Education (EE). Environmental education in the school context can generate several discussions. In Brazil, it is linked to the transversal themes (PCNs) of education, through the theme "environment". In view of this reality, the following question arises: How to work the environmental theme with the help of games and play, prioritizing a playful aspect? The use of playful activities associated with various subject contents can make the learning process dynamic, enjoyable, and most importantly, meaningful. The present work was developed from an extension project of the IFRN Macau Campus, "Econscious Roots: Environmental Education for the municipality of Macau", in which they aim to provide through playful activities a reflection on Environmental Education to the students of the Escola Mun. Padre João Penha Filho. In the work, games and play were developed with an eye toward environmental education. It was noticed that the use of playful activities are important tools in the learning process, and with the environmental theme linked to games and jokes, the content was better worked. Thus, it is up to the teachers of the different subjects to make use of playful practices that facilitate the teaching-learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Meningitis is a disease characterized by inflammation in the tissue layers covering the brain and the spinal cord, can be caused by a wide range of agents, viral being the most prevalent, while the bacterial has higher lethality. In Brazil, meningitis is endemic and represents a public health problem. The objective of this study is to evaluate its epidemiological profile in Paraná (PR) between 2010 to 2020. This is an epidemiological, observational, transversal, descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The data were obtained through the notification aggravation system (SINAN). 15,745 cases of meningitis were identified, 59.06% in men and greater and lower incidence in 2019 and 2020, respectively. It was found that the number of meningitis cases in the PR in the analyzed period remained stable, although 2019-2020 presented a fall, which may be associated with the pandemic of Covid-19.

This article aims to bring a brief historical overview of the motivations that resulted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, consequently, in actions that triggered the construction of an Education in Human Rights (EDH) in Brazil, with emphasis on its implementation in the Rede Municipal de Ensino de Curitiba. Through Paulo Freire, the text develops from the analysis of official documents and proposes reflection on this formative, educational and dialogical process in the school space. It is realized that, despite the sanction of laws with the purpose of historical reparation of rights violations, Human Rights Education has not yet been consolidated. As a systematic, transversal, and multidimensional process linked to daily life, it is in constant transformation to adjust to contextual demands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new species of Corumbataia is described from Rio Maranhão, Rio Tocantins basin, central Brazil. The new species is distinguished from all congeners by the presence of a small, naked area on snout tip; by having the abdomen covered with small platelets forming a shield which reaches the lateral mid-ventral plates; by the anterior profile of the head rounded in dorsal view; by the lower lip not reaching the transversal line of the pectoral girdle; and by the presence of 28 or 29 vertebrae. High genetic divergence in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) further supports the validity of this new species. Our phylogenetic analysis shows a derived subclade in Corumbataia, herein named as the Corumbataia cuestae group, composed of the new species plus C. cuestae, C. tocantinensis, C. britskii, C. liliai, and C. lucianoi. This group is defined by having a conspicuous crest of hypertrophied odontodes on head; absence of the adipose fin or a single series of platelets at adipose-fin position; and anastomosis of the infraorbital and otic sensory canals over the pterotic-supracleithrum. Here we also restrict the distribution of C. tocantinensis to the Rio Araguaia basin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Primary Health Care is a transversal point in the Psychosocial Care Network, responsible for attending to demands related to mental suffering. Although medication represents the main treatment option, the prolonged use of benzodiazepines may lead to tolerance and consequent dependence. The objective of this study is to analyze the frequency and characteristics of benzodiazepine users attending primary healthcare services, through a cross-sectional study conducted in Chapecó, Santa Catarina, a municipality in southern Brazil. Higher proportional prescription was observed in adult and elderly women, with predominance among individuals who were women (80%), white (67.9%), and married (50.7%), with a median age of 56 years. These findings suggest a need to plan and implement changes in the procedures for prescribing and administering benzodiazepines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• The incoming Government led by Lula aims to address climate change and deforestation. • After ten years, the Environmental Rural Registry is worthless without enforcement. • Transversal political articulation, governance, and technology are mandatory. • Juridical security in the socio-ecological and landholding systems is urgent.
