Understanding the native vegetation of a region is fundamental for the development of works on biodiversity conservation, protection of water resources, climate regulation, and scientific knowledge. This paper presents a characterization of the native vegetation of the municipality of Aramina, located in the interior of São Paulo. For this purpose, field surveys and satellite image analyses were conducted with the aim of identifying, quantifying, and classifying the different biomes present in this territory. The overall objective is to create a map with the classification of the existing vegetation cover, estimating the remaining area of each biome. To achieve this goal, there was a review of the literature on the types of vegetation in the country, specifically those of the cerrado, seasonal semideciduous forest, and riparian forests. The methodology employed will be an empirical scientific research, using the deductive hypothetical method, with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The classification of the study is both explanatory and exploratory, due to the search for a closer approximation with the non-existence of vegetation characterization in the area, with the identification of the vegetation present in Aramina, and with the establishment of inferences aimed at contributing to the effectiveness of public and private management in improving strategic actions inherent to: biodiversity conservation; protection of water resources; and potential contributions to local climate regulation. This study contributes to a better understanding and comprehension of the implementation of public policies and private actions for the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems, as the results obtained show that in the municipality of Aramina, cerrado vegetation predominates, distributed in a scattered manner throughout the municipal territory. Furthermore, the study allows for further exploration of related topics in subsequent studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Media literacy, which encompasses skills and knowledge considered essential for civic participation in social, political, and professional life, is an area that has been growing steadily. In Portugal, there is a wide range of entities that have developed media literacy initiatives, from public entities, universities, research centers, training centers, media organizations, among others. These actors are adopting different approaches and media literacy is being promoted through training, academic publications, social projects, and learning platforms. These actions, carried out in more or less formal environments, are aimed at different target audiences, from pre-school children to the elderly. Based on the multiplicity of theoretical approaches to the concept of media literacy, this study seeks to understand the extent to which this diversity is reflected in the multiplicity of actors, approaches and target audiences involved in promoting media literacy in Portugal. To achieve this goal, using two analysis grids, one dedicated to the actors and the other to their interventions, a mapping of Portuguese entities dedicated to media literacy was carried out, seeking to identify the types of organizations and the professional areas to which they belong, their target audiences, the incidence of literacy promoted, and the pedagogical tools used. The results are presented in the form of a taxonomy of the actors involved in the operationalization of media literacy initiatives in Portugal, making it possible to characterize the landscape of this literacy promotion and its constituent networks, as well as to identify areas to be explored and the types of target audiences in need of initiatives aimed at their needs. The identification of empirical practices to promote media literacy in Portugal also makes it possible to contribute to the global theoretical-conceptual debate on the subject, particularly in terms of the volatility of the concept, its propensity for change and its readaptation according to the contexts in which it is used.

Este artigo propõe articular uma análise sobre o processo criativo do artista Vinicius Viana em seu processo de composição visual, ao mascarar-se inspirado nos corpos que baiam o Tambor de Mina do Maranhão, dentro de um processo em que se estabelece a união do corpo criativo e o baiar para o sagrado dos terreiros. As vivências compartilhadas aqui permeiam o lugar possível da máscara corporal, em uma ponte com a visualidade que transita entre a sociedade e o sagrado; a matéria; e o invisível; entre o contemporâneo e a tradição que relacionam de forma atemporal a conexão África e Brasil e que penetram as raízes ancestrais do dançar de um artista e a sua escrita.

Este artigo busca refletir sobre dinâmicas de relações entre representação e representatividade a partir da análise da composição visual da personagem Rose Maxson em Fences (2016), de August Wilson. As reflexões têm origem em pesquisa documental que examinou os elementos visuais — cabelo, maquiagem e figurino — que expressam a ideia de feminilidade e materializam a personagem, tanto no texto da peça teatral quanto em sua adaptação para o cinema, descrevendo semelhanças, diferenças e possíveis ausências de descrição de visualidade, analisando o conteúdo coletado segundo o conceito de Imagens de Controle, desenvolvido por Patricia Hill Collins. O estudo explora um campo de articulação entre linguagem e cultura, com foco em como produções textuais e audiovisuais constroem as imagens de personagens femininas negras, de forma a problematizar as relações entre a indústria cultural e o reforço de lugares sociais destinados a corpos racializados.

O Lodo de Estação de Tratamento de Água (LETA) é um resíduo descartado usualmente de forma irregular e sem tratamento adequado. Em busca de alternativas para esse problema, objetivou-se a produção e a caracterização de um material adsorvente (MA), e nesse processo o LETA, seco e pulverizado, foi ativado por processo físico e químico. A DRX mostrou a presença das fases caulinita e quartzo e, após a ativação, apenas o quartzo. Por MEV observou-se uma superfície rugosa com elevada área superficial e distribuição irregular do tamanho dos grânulos. A EDS e a EDX confirmaram composição por SiO2, Al2O3 e compostos de carbono. Por meio do estudo de pHPCZ verificou-se que o valor do pH com carga neutra é 6,15, podendo ser manipulado para que a superfície fique carregada com cargas positivas ou negativas, promovendo a adsorção de compostos catiônicos e aniônicos. Conclui-se que as mudanças promovidas no LETA foram significativas para seu uso como material precursor de adsorvente.

Introduction. In Peru, municipal solid waste in 2021 reached 8,215,355.9 tons and only 61.28 % is disposed of in sanitary landfills to be treated through composting; however, its implementation is deficient and requires studies to obtain a usable product as a substrate or amendment and reduce environmental pollution. Objective. The study determined the levels of nutrients, heavy metals, fecal microorganisms, and the quality of compost based on solid urban organic waste produced at the Shapajilla Valorization Plant in the Leoncio Prado province of Peru. Materials and methods. Four piles of organic solid waste were composted and evaluated for nutrients, heavy metals, fecal microorganisms, and quality based on Chilean Standard 2880 and Spanish Standard 824. Results. 95 % of the composted materials were food waste, fruit and peelings, and there were no differences between the piles evaluated. During processing, the temperature reached the different stages and the pH increased. High pH levels (>7.50) and low levels of Ca, Mg and K (< 1 %) were found; heavy metals presented differences and low levels, with absence of microorganisms of fecal origin, and the composts were of intermediate quality (B). Conclusions. The compost produced is of intermediate quality, free of metals and pathogenic microorganisms, and can be used as a substrate or amendment with some limitations, due to the high pH levels and low levels of Ca, Mg and K.

Let G be a group, define an equivalence relation ~ as below: ∀ g, h ∈ G, g ∼ h ⇐⇒|g| = |h| the set of sizes of equivalence classes with respect to this relation is called the same-order type of G and denoted by α(G). And G is said a αn-group if |α(G)| = n. Let π(G) be the set of prime divisors of the order of G. A simple group of G is called a simple Kn-group if |π(G)| = n. We give a new characterization of simple K3-groups using same-order type. Indeed we prove that a nonabelian simple group G has same-order type {r, m, n, k, l} if and only if G ≅ PSL(2,q), with q = 7, 8 or 9. This result generalizes the main results in (4), (6) and (8). Moreover based on the main result in (8) we have the natural question: Let S be a nonabelian simple αn-group and G a αn-group such that |S| = |G|. Then S ≅ G. In this paper with a counterexample we give a negative answer to this question. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hydrological behavior directly affects the way human activities are developed in a place, especially in the context of engineering works. In the municipality of Presidente Prudente, the focus of study for this work, there is a history of flooding, with emphasis on Parque do Povo. Therefore, the study in question aimed to physically characterize the watersheds of the main green areas of the city in order to understand these processes. Three locations were selected: Parque do Povo, Parque Nelson Bugalho and Lagoa dos Patos. The basins were delimited and the Square Method was used to calculate values such as the Gravelius Index (Kc), Shape Factor (Kf), Drainage Density (Dd), among others. Slope Distribution Curves and Longitudinal Profiles of the course of the analyzed rivers were also generated. The data obtained were consistent with the real situation of the areas considered and collabor to improve the existing water management system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The management of water resources, focusing on the strategic planning of hydrographic basins, becomes necessary. This time, this article aims to analyze whether the geoenvironmental information about the Apodi-Mossoró river basin, in the literature, is sufficient for its physicalenvironmental characterization. Among other findings, it was found that most studies make use of a physical and geoenvironmental characterization of the landscape to deal with issues related to the environment. It is also concluded that the works that analyze the basin bring in their essence different approaches, some being more complete and others more summarized, on their geoenvironmental aspects, representing a sufficiently plausible framework for an objective and effective characterization regarding to study and analysis.

A legislação brasileira estabelece a caracterização dos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) como conteúdo obrigatório dos Planos Municipais de Gestão Integrada de Resíduos Sólidos. No entanto, não determina métodos adequados para a sua realização. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa foi realizada com o objetivo de identificar, para o território da bacia do rio Paraíba do Sul, requisitos entendidos como viáveis, pelos gestores públicos municipais, para a composiçãode metodologia unificada de caracterização dos RSU. Os requisitos obtidos a partir de meta-análise foram sistematizados e validados por equipe técnica da agência de bacia e gestores municipais dos estados de SP, RJ e MG. Dentre os resultados obtidos, destacam-se a predileção por: amostragem em zonas de diferentes condições socioeconômicas com frequência anual, determinação de 14 categorias para a composição gravimétrica, a ser realizada por segregação manual de amostras obtidas por meio de quarteamento dos RSU coletados.

RESUMO O presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a pesquisa acadêmica brasileira sobre corrupção, produzida pelos campos das ciências humanas e das ciências sociais aplicadas. Além disso, buscou compreender como os estudos elaborados por pesquisadores da área da administração têm abordado essa temática. Para tanto, foi delimitado como espaço temporal de análise o período de 2008 a 2017. O delineamento metodológico consistiu em uma revisão sistemática da literatura nacional, que utilizou técnicas de análise de frequência e análise temática do conteúdo do material. Os resultados sugerem que as pesquisas brasileiras que abordaram a corrupção são, em sua maioria: de natureza qualitativa; o foco de investigação é a gestão pública; a abordagem do tema é realizada de uma forma geral, não se referindo a um poder ou esfera de governo específica, o referencial teórico adotado é majoritariamente internacional. O direito é a área que mais tem estudos envolvendo a corrupção, o que se reflete nos debates que são produzidos pela academia. Quanto ao campo da administração, que foi analisado de forma mais específica, os estudos elaborados seguem as mesmas características da produção científica nacional, contudo, o pequeno número de pesquisas desenvolvidas indica que a temática ainda não está totalmente acoplada à agenda dos pesquisadores.

A current concern related to low-grade stockpiles is to develop processing routes for the production of high-grade pellet feed. The stockpiles possess complex mineralogical composition of hematite and undesirable minerals bearers of aluminium and sulphur that require the development of a processing route aiming the production of high iron grade material with acceptable grades of contaminants. With an average iron grade of 48.6%, the material of the haematitic stockpiles was produced at the end of a beneficiation process consisting of crushing and screening. After grinding to achieve P80 106 µm, satisfactory concentration was achieved by magnetic separation (WHIMS) in three or four stages, depending on the desired product quality. Such flexibility led to the proposal of two possible processing routes. When the scavenger stage product is incorporated into the pellet feed, although the iron grade diminishes, the mass recovery increases by approximately 5%. The investigation proved that it is possible to produce pellet feed from the haematitic stockpiles with the processing routes tested. However, further grinding is required in order to adequate the material granulometry for its application as pellet feed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabalho tem como objectivo caracterizar os instrumentos de avaliação das aprendizagens dos estudantes do ISCED-Huambo, identificando modelos instrumentais de avaliação, para o melhoramento desse processo na instituição em referência. A partir do objectivo proposto, abordou-se primeiramente sobre os aspectos relacionados com aprendizagem, avaliação das aprendizagens, caracterização dos instrumentos de avaliação das aprendizagens, para aferir a qualidade do processo formativo institucional. De seguida, a abordagem reflectiu-se na fundamentação metodológica onde foram tratados e aplicados diversos métodos teóricos e empíricos, que serviram para identificar diferentes formas de avaliação. A análise e interpretação dos resultados foram feitas a partir dos dados recolhidos dos professores, do corpo directivo por meio do questionário e também outros dados recolhidos a partir da análise documental. Através da caracterização dos instrumentos de avaliação elaborou-se algumas sugestões com vista a provocar reflexões por parte dos professores, acerca da escolha adequada do instrumento de avaliação. Este trabalho longe de ser definitivamente conclusivo e não tendo a pretensão de esgotar um assunto tão amplo, muito menos discutir todos os instrumentos de avaliação, constitui uma contribuição para o trabalho do professor em sala de aula. Sugere-se portanto, a necessidade de se trabalhar com base na diversificação dos instrumentos de avaliação, que possibilite ao estudante a aquisição de uma aprendizagem significativa.

Diversas técnicas de secagem podem ser aplicadas, dependendo da matéria-prima que se deseja desidratar e do que se deseja obter. Uma forma de avaliar se o método de desidratação foi eficiente é por meio das isotermas de sorção. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar e comparar as isotermas de adsorção da polpa de cajá em pó obtida por atomização, com a utilização de maltodextrina (Ensaio A) e maltodextrina e lecitina de soja (Ensaio B). Para representação das isotermas, foram utilizados os modelos matemáticos de GAB, BET, Henderson e Oswin, nas temperaturas de 25 ºC, 30 ºC, 35 ºC e 40 ºC. Os resultados mostraram que a adição da lecitina confere um pó estatisticamente diferente (p < 0,05) de um pó sem adição em relação aos sólidos solúveis, aos açúcares totais e à sua coloração. O modelo de BET foi o que melhor se ajustou ao Ensaio A, e o modelo de Henderson ao Ensaio B, que se mostraram do Tipo III em formato de J. Foi observado também que a adição da lecitina de soja proporcionou uma maior adsorção de água, demonstrando que o produto necessita ser armazenado em local com baixos teores de umidade relativa, ou ser armazenado em embalagens com baixa permeabilidade.

Resumo Descreve-se a caracterização da matéria-prima flogopita [KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2] e o processo de fabricação de filtros cerâmicos porosos (FCPs) a partir desta, via método da réplica (esponja polimérica) de forma simples e eficaz. A flogopita foi caracterizada por difratometria de raios X (DRX), espectroscopia no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier por reflexão total atenuada, espectroscopia no UV-vis, termogravimetria, análise térmica diferencial e dilatometria, e os FCPs por microscopia eletrônica de varredura acoplada por espectroscopia por energia dispersiva e pelo método de imersão para determinação da porosidade aparente (PA), absorção de água (AA) e densidade aparente (DA). DRX indicou, além da fase flogopita, as fases caulinita, biotita e goetita para a amostra sem tratamento térmico. A energia de band gap de 3,10 eV foi determinada por UV-vis. A partir das análises térmicas, encontrou-se a temperatura de queima do material entre 1000 e 1200 °C. Determinaram-se PA na faixa de 92% a 95%, AA de 84% a 89% e DA de 0,12 a 0,25 g.cm-3. Os FCPs apresentaram altos teores dos elementos oxigênio, alumínio, silício, ferro e magnésio, além de estruturas celulares interconectadas com perfis circulares e distribuição de tamanho dos poros na faixa de 0,25 a 0,40 mm.

A demanda de materiais novos que sirvam como meio bioativo ou arcabouços porosos para aplicações no campo biomédico vem aumentando devido ao aumento de idade geral da população, doenças causadas por acidentes ou recorrentes a traumas, reduzindo a qualidade de vida. Esponjas de água doce retiradas do Rio Negro (Amazonas, Brasil) apresentam estrutura silicosas, surgindo como fonte alternativa para diversas aplicações. Estudos demonstram que estruturas porosas revestidas de apatita biológica aumentam a adsorção de proteínas e aceleram a adesão de células osteogênicas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a morfologia da superfície a composição química presente por técnicas de difração de raios X (DRX), espectroscopia de infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e espectroscopia de raios X por energia dispersiva (EDS), observando a presença de estruturas silicáticas que, em meio biológico, favorecem a osteogênese e consequentemente processo de regeneração óssea.

Native plants such as Melochia pyramidata have been targeted in various scientific studies due to their potential uses. From this perspective, the present study aimed to separately evaluate the effect of different substrates and pot sizes on the production of seedlings of M. pyramidata genotypes propagated by cuttings. The experiment was conducted in a plant nursery at the Center of Agricultural Sciences of the Federal University of Paraíba, Areia, PB, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized and arranged in a 3 x 2 factorial design with three substrate types (sand, commercial substrate Plantmax®, and sand + manure) and two genotypes (MP1 and MP2), with five replications. Pot size evaluation used a 2 x 2 factorial design with two pot sizes (V1: 1.8 L and V2: 0.9 L), two genotypes (MP1 and MP2), and four replications. The evaluations began seven days after the cuttings were planted in tubes and continued weekly for two months by evaluating the number of sprouts and leaves. After two months, these seedlings were transplanted to pots and evaluated for the number of sprouts, leaves, fruits, flower buds, leaf width, and leaf length. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and test of means (Tukey) at 5% probability. The cuttings of M. pyramidata developed best in washed sand and in the commercial substrate Plantmax®. The genotypes developed best in 1.8-L pots, showing more leaves, flower buds, and fruits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Forest fires represent significant environmental, economic, and social damage in many countries. Historical knowledge of their characteristics aids in making preventive decisions, as well as fighting forest fires. However, the general data of fires in Paraná are outdated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the forest fires in the state of Paraná in 2018 and 2019, surveying the following information: municipality and region affected; month and day of occurrence; and vegetation type. To this end, data obtained from the Paraná Fire Department through the SysBMNew-CCB platform were analyzed. The fire density by region was verified and compared through cluster analysis. Compared to the previous year, 2019 showed a 42.25% increase in the number of fires. In both years, most forest fires occurred in the North-central region, followed by the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba. The municipality of Curitiba recorded the highest number of fires in both years. According to the Fire Department classification, the vegetation type most affected by the fires was vacant lots. From the data obtained, we verified the need for environmental education measures aimed at the prevention of fires in vacant lots. Further research is recommended so that a profile of forest fires can be traced in the state and thus base prevention and control measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo: O trabalho apresenta uma caracterização teórico-metodológica de orientação dialógica para as atividades linguísticas, epilinguísticas e metalinguísticas em prática de análise linguística dialógica. No plano metodológico de uma pesquisa-ação, retrospecta-se junto a oito professores em formação inicial, no estágio supervisionado em Letras, o já preconizado na Linguística Aplicada do Brasil sobre essas atividades de linguagem. Posteriormente, apresenta-se a proposta dialógica aos alunos e discutem-se seus princípios. Toma-se um texto do gênero fábula como centro organizador da interação discursiva entre os participantes e o professor formador. A discussão de conceitos dialógicos é avivada enquanto a prática de análise linguística dialógica que se efetiva é repensada em direcionamento a alunos do 6º ano do ensino fundamental, em produção dialógica de caráter reflexivo, a considerar o lócus de investigação: a formação docente inicial. Os resultados das práticas demonstram como as atividades linguísticas dialógicas se dão pela tomada do gênero em perspectiva dialógica, com indicações metodológicas para essa abordagem. Já as atividades epilinguísticas contemplam o plano axiológico e as relações dialógicas, para compreensão valorada do discurso mobilizado no gênero, enquanto as atividades metalinguísticas coadunam quadros nocionais consolidados às intepretações expansivas axiológicas suscitadas pela epilinguagem. Palavras-chave: dialogismo; análise linguística; atividades linguísticas, epilinguísticas e metalinguísticas; caracterização. Abstract: This work presents a theoretical-methodological characterization from a dialogic perspective for linguistic, epilinguistic and metalinguistic applied activities of dialogic linguistic analysis. In the action research methodological plan, eight beginner teachers attending the supervised internship in Languages are given theoretical bases about language activities that are already consolidated by Applied Linguistics in Brazil. Next, the dialogic proposal and its principles are presented and discussed with the beginners. A text belonging to the genre Fable is used as organizer for the dialogic interaction between the beginner teachers and the professor. The discussion on dialogic concepts occurs while the linguistic analysis activities are elaborated to students from the 6th year of the elementary school, in a reflexive dialogic production, considering the research context: beginner teacher orientation. Our approach shows that linguistic activities happen while presenting the genre under a dialogic perspective, with methodological indications for such approach. Regarding the epilinguistic activities, they contemplate the axiological plan, for the valued comprehension of the discourse mobilized in the genre, while metalinguistic activities connect consolidated notion frames with axiological expansive interpretations raised by epilanguage. Keywords: dialogism; linguistic analysis; linguistic, epilinguistic and metalinguistic activities; characterization.

Resumo: Este artigo tem três objectivos: caracterizar a religiosidade em Portugal, compará-la com os países europeus de matriz católica e analisar a sua evolução. A análise assenta nas bases de dados do ESS, do EVS e do ISSP. Os indicadores da dimensão comunidade são os mais elevados e estão acima da média; os indicadores da dimensão crença são elevados ou médios; os indicadores da dimensão prática são baixos ou médios; os indicadores da dimensão norma são médios e estão próximos da média. Na generalidade, os indicadores parecem estar a decrescer. As crenças não cristãs são baixas e parecem estar a crescer ligeiramente. O tipo praticante parece estar a baixar, mas não a favor do tipo peregrino, pelo menos de forma significativa.

Resumo A violência sexual praticada por adolescentes ainda é pouco estudada no Brasil. Conhecer esses sujeitos é fundamental para a compreensão do fenômeno e execução de ações preventivas. Este artigo apresenta características dos adolescentes ofensores sexuais, bem como de suas vítimas e do contexto da violência. Para isso, foram analisados 254 processos judiciais, entre 2013 e 2016, no Distrito Federal, envolvendo 285 ofensores e 291 vítimas. A partir das informações coletadas, elaborou-se um quadro descritivo, cuja análise foi realizada de forma contextualizada e tendo como referência outros importantes estudos na área. Os resultados apontaram a diversidade dos adolescentes ofensores sexuais, porém as informações sobre as famílias foram bastante escassas nos processos. Quanto à idade e à escolaridade, a maior parte cometeu a ofensa com 16/17 anos (41,4%) e cursava o ensino fundamental II (29,5%). Um número significativo de adolescentes tinha envolvimento anterior com a justiça (24,2%). Os abusos foram prioritariamente extrafamiliares (48,5%), com vítimas do sexo feminino (67,7%), entre 10 e 14 anos (40,5%) e conhecidas do ofensor (92,2%). Ressalta-se a complexidade dos casos, impossibilitando intervenções padronizadas e descontextualizadas, assim como a importância de conhecer o contexto social e as relações familiares desses sujeitos com vistas a intervenções mais assertivas.

Resumo A jabuticaba é nativa da Mata Atlântica do Brasil, sendo uma das frutas mais cultivadas em pomares domésticos, podendo ser consumida in natura ou industrializada. Pela multiplicidade de usos, apresenta apreciável potencial econômico, mas não tem valor comercial alto por ser perecível. Estruturados da polpa concentrada de jabuticaba foram obtidos empregando-se hidrocoloides, como pectina e gelatina, além de edulcorantes, como maltose, sorbitol, glicose e glicerol, considerados supressores da atividade de água. A polpa de jabuticaba e os estruturados obtidos foram caracterizados quanto ao pH, à acidez titulável, à umidade, a sólidos solúveis totais, teor de cinzas, lipídeos, proteínas, açúcares redutores e não redutores e minerais (sódio e potássio). Quanto à análise sensorial foram realizados testes de aceitação e intenção de compra dos estruturados de jabuticaba, obtendo-se boa aceitação dos avaliadores, apresentando índices elevados de intenção de compra. As formulações F1 (contendo glicose, gelatina e pectina) e F4 (contendo sorbitol, gelatina, pectina e maltose) apresentaram diferenças nas proporções de açúcares utilizados, mostrando vantagem em relação às demais formulações, no que diz respeito ao custo para elaboração e ao menor teor de açúcar. Outra vantagem refere-se ao uso de sorbitol, que possui mais poder adoçante comparado à glicose, utilizado na F4, sendo uma alternativa viável para a substituição da glicose, tornando o estruturado mais saudável por conter menor teor de carboidrato. Assim, como as formulações F1 e F4 foram bem aceitas pelos avaliadores, poderiam ser as mais indicadas para a produção pelas indústrias de alimentos.

The objective of this work was to characterize the chemical - bromatological composition of the acerola co - product before and after protein enrichment with the yeast of the species Sacharomyces cerevisae in semi - solid fermentation for animal feed. Four treatments were performed, the control containing the co-product in in natura form and the others containing 2% of yeast for treatment II; 2% of yeast plus 1% of urea forming treatment III and 2% of yeast plus 2% of urea for treatment IV which remained 24 hours at room temperature for 24 hours subjected in this period in semi-solid fermentation. The following results were obtained for crude protein: 9.85%; 17.91%; 43.11% and 59.06%, respectively. It was concluded that there was an efficacy of the process since similar and higher values were obtained than the conventional concentrate of the soybean used in the animals' diet.

Physalis rugose mosaic virus (PhyRMV) causes severe damage to Physalis peruviana L., affecting vegetative parameters, fruit quantity and quality. The aim of this study was to perform a molecular characterization of PhyRMV associated with P. peruviana from commercial fields in the municipality of Lages, Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil, and to evaluate its transmission by seeds. Plants displaying mosaic, dwarfism, and leaf malformation symptoms were collected from P. peruviana. Double-stranded RNA was extracted and submitted to cDNA library synthesis and high-throughput sequencing (HTS). For the virus transmission assay, seeds from PhyRMV-infected plants were used, and viral infection in seedlings was verified using symptomatic and molecular diagnosis. PhyRMV RNA has 4162 nucleotides (nts) and a genomic organization similar to that of other sobemoviruses and shares 97% nt identity with the previously characterized PhyRMV Piracicaba isolate. Results indicated the unlikely transmission of PhyRMV by physalis seeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective was to evaluate the physical and chemical characteristics of noni (Morinda citrifolia) grown in the Mato Grosso State. Ripe fruits from a field located in Cuiabá-MT, had the peel, pulp and seeds separated and subjected to different evaluations. The fruit parts were characterized physically and chemically. Determinations of vitamin C, carotenoids, phenolics and the total antioxidant activity of the fruit mesocarp (pulp) were made. Noni cultivated in the Mato Grosso State presents high levels of potassium, calcium and sodium, with predominance of potassium. The protein content was higher in the seed, and the ash, in the peel, respectively. Noni pulp showed high levels of vitamin C, carotenoids and phenolics and can be considered a potential antioxidant.

The universal clones of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) introduced in the Colombian Amazon region, present low yields. The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic behavior of promissory local genotypes of T. cacao under the conditions of the Colombian Amazon. The nursery and experimental plot were established on the rural division of Cuba in Cartagena del Chairá town. A 7 x 4 Factorial Experiment was implemented, with Factor A (genotypes) and Factor B (planting distances). In the nursery, height and stem diameter of the IMC-67 rootstock clone were evaluated, and in the experimental plot the agronomic yield and performance of seven genotypes. IMC-67 clone had 95% of survival, a growth rate of 0,200 cm.day-1, and an increase in stem diameter of 0,003 cm.day-1 The seven genotypes showed 95,73% of survival, without statistically significant differences (p<0,05). The total height (cm), graft length (cm), rootstock diameter (cm), number of leaves and treetop area (m2), showed statistically significant differences (p<0,0001). RMC-4 genotype showed higher biomass values followed by the RMC-2 and ICS-1 genotypes, without statistically significant differences (p<0,05), among the genotypes evaluated. We concluded that the RMC-3, RMC-4 and RMC-5, present potential for consolidation as universal clones in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

VidaProFit intends to characterize fitness professionals in Portugal, namely Technical Directors and Physical Exercise Technician, regarding sociodemographic variables and their intervention. A questionnaire was built and validated, and professionals respond on an online platform. Data were collected between November 2019 and March 2020, with a sample of 445 professionals. Regarding the sociodemographic characterization, the professionals have an average age of 30.4 years, professional experience of 8.7 years, and most of them are single, without children and graduates. The most performed functions are group classes, exercise room, and personal training. Regarding working hours, 58% work 35 hours or more and 42% less or 34 hours, although 66.3% indicate that they do not have another profession. Most professionals perform functions in gyms/health clubs and have a job as an independent worker with a salary between €631.98 and €842.63. Regarding the verification of the association between the variables age and professional experience and the number of hours per function, it was found that higher age and number of years of professional experience are significantly associated with the higher number of hours of more associated with coordination tasks, seeming to indicate that as professionals get older and gather experience, they perform more this type of functions.
