This study aimed to describe the health care of people with disabilities in the days of COVID-19 in the State of Alagoas, being an epidemiological, quantitative and descriptive. Data collection was carried out from August 28 to October 31, 2020, with the participation of 36 people with disabilities who answered an online questionnaire developed in google forms and made available through a link on social networks such as Facebook, Instagram , WhatsApp and/or email.research. As for the profile of the participants who responded to this survey, most were female, had physical disability and aged between 20 and 39 years. With regard to health care, most had health insurance and 41.7% performed some type of follow-up/treatment before the COVID-19 pandemic, and of these, 58.3% continued to undergo follow-up/treatment during the pandemic. Thus, this study pointed out that people with disabilities need comprehensive and facilitating health care that responds to their needs, whether linked or not to their condition. In addition, it can be noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has had serious repercussions on the lives of this portion of the population, as they face extra challenges to keep themselves safe and that end up directly affecting access to health care.

Rural and gastronomic tourism is an option adopted by the family farmer to diversify their economic activities in rural areas, also providing new dynamics to this space. Social isolation has substantially shaken the tourism sector, which required further adaptations regarding the rules of operation of tourist spaces and quipamentos. The work aims to evaluate the strategies and adaptations of the owners of establishments located in the Region of the Fourth Colony of Santa Maria - RS regarding the maintenance of their restaurants, bars and the like during this pandemic period. The methodology consisted of a bibliographic and documentary approach, exploratory and descriptive, with field tripes. The main results achieved by the research suggest that the rural environment is being seen as a place that combines quality of life and leisure with intense identity culture, where colonization has determined its own characteristics. The territory of the Fourth Colony to intensify its tourism potential should overcome some obstacles such as: greater engagement of the public power, greater receptivity of the community and acceptance of new alternatives of generation of work combined with improvements in the general infrastructure.

Bioplastics refer to plastics produced from biomass through renewable and biological sources. They are an alternative to the problem of large-scale production of petrochemical bags and excessive consumption causing various harm to human beings and the environment. The sustainable development of biodegradable bags brings benefits to the planet, such as the reduction of polluting gases, has different means of disposal, expands the economic sector and reduces the use of oil as a raw material. Thus, the aim of this article was to describe and analyze the main advantages attributed to the production of biodegradable bags aiming at the sustainability of the planet. The search was carried out with job searches in the Scielo and Google Academic databases, totaling 918 articles, from which 33 were selected for writing this article. A questionnaire was applied to students of the chemistry degree course at the State University of Alagoas, Campus I, and it was observed that among the various issues, from knowledge about biodegradable bags to environmental impacts, 93.8% of respondents know the importance of replacing conventional bags with biodegradable bags, and 6.3% answered that they did not. It was found that bioplastics are produced through natural resources, enhancing their rapid decomposition that does not aggravate the environment, moreover, it is a beneficial means for the chain of microorganisms as they can be a source of energy for them. It was found that the idea of ​​bioplastics is linked with the need to reduce the environmental impacts caused by the accumulation of plastic waste, excessive production, inadequate disposal and, consequently, due to the emission of gases into the atmosphere through its lasting degradation.            

In scientific research, planning and carrying out experiments are common practices in Agricultural Sciences. Although the experimental methods are widely known, it is clear that their assumptions are often not verified, reflecting the low precision and quality of the results. This research aims to: 1) discuss basic concepts of experimental statistics; 2) present the main statistical models and methods used in Agricultural Sciences; 3) evaluate the suitability of using statistical tests in scientific articles. In planning, the choice of design should consider environmental heterogeneity. Hypotheses are tested by the F test, and Anova's assumptions must be met. Data transformation is an efficient tool that is often necessary but little explored. When testing qualitative treatments, a comparison/grouping of means test is used, with the Scott-Knott test being the most robust. When quantitative, linear regression. When successive evaluations are carried out in the same experimental unit, repeated measures analysis is used. The coefficient of variation indicates experimental precision and varies with treatments, variables and environment. The repeatability coefficient estimates the number of evaluations and experiments to be carried out, with a high degree of precision. As for suitability, 32 articles were analyzed and all presented insufficient information on the methodology, compromising the reproducibility of the research. Therefore, experimental planning allows conducting research with savings in time, costs and labor, without compromising the accuracy of the conclusions

Plant poisoning changes a serious public health problem in the state of Paraíba. In view of this, the objective was to characterize the epidemiological and sociodemographic profile of those intoxicated by plants in each mesoregion of the state of Paraíba during the period from 2010 to 2019. This is a descriptive study through a cross-sectional, retrospective and quantitative investigation of data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). During the period analyzed, the number of notifications for poisoning with plants increased 18 times, available in a total of 135 cases. As two mesoregions with the highest numbers were Mata Paraibana (27.3 ± 41.3) and Agreste Paraibano (41.0 ± 0). The greatest number of records occurred among the child audience, with a greater predominance of notifications in the group between 1 to 4 years old (31.8%), with ascendancy for males (54.0%) and for mixed race (58, 5%). As for the level of education, 8.1% of the cases had incomplete primary education. For diagnosis, the clinical criterion was the most used (45%) and in most cases (76%), there was a cure without sequelae, even with 54% of the notifications, in fact, being cases of intoxication. Regarding the circumstance of intoxication, 72% happened accidentally. It appears, therefore, that plant intoxications are listed and represent an impasse to be mitigated, which requires preventive and educational actions focusing on the awareness of Paraiba citizens.

To add quality to the final product, it is necessary to use technologies that carry out the identification and use of superior genetics. The objective was to evaluate the relationship between body measurements (AP and PT) and carcass characteristics evaluated by ultrasonography (AOL, EGS and MAR), through Pearson linear correlation analysis and linear regression. The data used were obtained from the archives of the Santa Nice farm (Amaporã-PR). A total of 543 animals that had AP and PT measurements at 490 days were analyzed. Carcass characteristics were evaluated using ultrasonography equipment. Analyzes were performed using the SAS program. AP and PT presented positive and moderately significant correlation with AOL and negative and weakly significant with MAR. AP and PT showed a negative correlation with EGS, but significant only between AP and EGS, which was negative and very weak. Linear regression analyzes followed correlations, being significant for all analyzed variables, except for PT and EGS. Thus, it was concluded that body measurements such as AP and PT are not good indicators of meat quality related to fat deposition, such as EGS and MAR, however, both AP and PT can be used to increase AOL. Keywords: Body measurements. Carcass characteristics. Nellore.

Bokashi is a type of organic fermented product formed by fungi and bacteria isolated from forests and which coexist synergistically in a liquid fermentative medium enriched with a sugar source. Among these microorganisms, some species of actinobacteria may have biotechnological potential to be used in agriculture. In this sense, the present work aimed to isolate and identify actinobacteria with agricultural biotechnological potential present in fermented organic fertilizer (Bokashi). Bokashi was produced by capturing microorganisms present in the forest soil. Actinobacteria were isolated through successive dilutions of Bokashi samples and grown in culture media Czapeck Modified (MC), Arginine Vitamin Agar (AY*), Inorganic Salt – starch Agar (ISP-4) containing antifungal, and incubated at 30° C for 21 days. Micromorphological analysis and identification was performed using the microculture on slides technique. In all, 22 strains of actinobacteria were isolated and identified, of which 77.27% were from the AY* medium; 13.64% of ISP-4 medium and 9.1% of MC medium. The presumptive identification of the genders showed that the strains were distributed between: 45.45% Nocardia; 36.36% Streptomyces; 9.1% Terrabacter; 4.54% Micromonospora; and 4.54% Mycobacterium.

ABSTRACT: In view of the coronavirus pandemic, several security measures were necessary, among them, the on-site suspension of educational activities, thus generating the obligation for teachers and students to migrate to the online reality, transferring and transposing methodologies and pedagogical practices atypical of the physical territories of learning, in what has been called remote or synchronous emergency teaching. With the uncertainties that the current scenario presents, the idea to develop this work arose with the objective of carrying out analyzes on the feasibility of implementing emergency remote education at the State University of Alagoas - UNEAL. This is a study, based on an opinion poll, through an online questionnaire Google® Forms, carried out with teachers and students of the Licenciatura Courses in Biological Sciences and Chemistry.103 people participated, being 89.3% students and 10.7% teachers. The majority 73.8% agreed that the implementation of emergency remote education is feasible. Through analysis of the current context and the results obtained, it is recommended that teachers and students discuss the best strategies that enable a good quality remote or synchronous teaching.

The São Francisco River has outlined in its course many geological-geomorphological features, and among them it is possible to highlight the paleodune fields, built in other periods of the Earth's history. These sandy features have, over the years, lost their original characteristics attributed not only to natural erosive agents, but also to anthropogenic agents, since the relationship established between society and nature has not been harmonious. In this sense, this research deals with the relationship of the inhabitants and riverside dwellers of the paleodunar territories around the São Francisco River in the municipality of Casa Nova/BA, with nature., and their respective impacts. It is a qualitative-quantitative research, exploratory, bibliographical and field. The findings indicate that the paleoenvironment is in very considerable stages of degradation, requiring the implementation of conservation proposals that can mitigate the damage caused to the physical and natural environment and which, consequently, has affected the local society.

The present research aimed to develop numerical sense, through the use of visual mathematics, based on the Theories of Mathematical Mentalities in 9th grade students of elementary school II of a municipal school in the city of Junqueiro - AL. Recent studies in neuroscience show that we are all capable of learning math at a high level as long as we are properly stimulated. It is quite common to see students from elementary school to higher education stating that they do not like math, well, the reason for this contempt in math, most of the time, is due to the way the contents are taught, causing many students to lose interest in that area. However, there are other methods of teaching mathematics and one of them is the use of visual mathematics. Several studies show that working with visual mathematics makes the student gain self-confidence, well, the purpose of this work is to show that visual mathematics can lead the student to understand the teaching of mathematics in a clearer way. In the course of this work, we will understand, through a research with a mixed focus, how content approaches through visual mathematics can interfere with cognitive development and learning in mathematics in students at a public school in the interior of Alagoas. We will discuss concepts and present the result of a case study, based on ideas present in the book by British author Jo Boaler, observing how this methodology can be transformative. Analyzing the survey data, we conclude that visual mathematics really facilitated students' learning, as well as changing their relationship with mathematics.

In the pandemic caused by coronavirus, it was observed that the media were responsible for dissectising information to the population. Objective:  To analyze the impact of fake news in Brazil on COVID-19. Methodology: This is an integrative review, which analyzed Brazilian publications, available in the Databases VHL, LILACS and Periódico CAPES, published between 2020 and 2021. Results and discussion :The main social networks that disseminate disinformation in Brazil are: WhatsApp®, Facebook®,and Twitter®. The content most present in fake News addresses aspects related to inappropriate treatments, demotivating effective measures. In addition, fake news has reached vaccination, generating fear and distrust of the population in the face of vaccine access.   Conclusion :Social networks are great allies of the dissemination of fake news. It is necessary to carry out educational policies, which can clearly and objectively inform the population using different techniques of health education.

The socio-scientific themes allow us to understand the overcomings of the present time, themes resulting from the discussions of a globalized era amidst the development of science and technology. Thus, a remote survey was carried out using the WhatsApp application, in order to understand the approach to socio-scientific themes in the teaching of Natural Sciences, Biology and Chemistry with teachers from two schools in the city of Benjamin Constant-AM. Bibliographic, descriptive and exploratory research was used, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, and the data collection instrument was the semi-structured questionnaire applied to teachers in the aforementioned areas. About the results, 90% of teachers claimed to know the concept of socio-scientific themes, however, despite this amount, only 3 teachers actually reported a concept close to the one chosen as the basis. 90% of teachers said they address issues related to socio-scientific issues in their pedagogical practices, however, it is noteworthy that there may be a conceptual confusion about what would be socio-scientific issues, especially because of a superficiality in their responses. It is noteworthy that 70% of teachers said that the school works with socio-scientific issues, and they are carried out in various segments, through projects, science fair, poster exhibition and/or similar. Given the panorama, it is evident that the teacher's didactic practice is extremely important to allow a discussion on socio-scientific issues in teaching spaces.

Dentro de uma realidade nova, o mundo precisou se adaptar aos novos padrões de vida modificados pela presença do SARS-Cov 2. Este vírus tem uma potência de contaminação em larga escala fazendo com que o distanciamento social e isolamento sejam os principiais métodos de prevenção da doença COVID-19. Entretanto, o uso de máscara, higienização das mãos e de superfícies passou a ser rotina diária para prevenção e eliminação do vírus. O respectivo trabalho aborda uma perspectiva química e biológica nos métodos de desinfecção de superfícies utilizando saneantes químicos de grande uso na limpeza e higienização de ambientes, mostrando os mecanismos de ação em contato com o vírus SARS-CoV 2 e a sua eficácia.  

This article aims to study the logistical barriers to the flow of Brazilian agricultural production and how they restrict the natural and technological potential of the segment in the country. The analysis of these weaknesses took place through the structure of governance and the influence of institutions, based on the New Institutional Economy (NEI) based on a qualitative methodological approach of deductive-inductive argument. As a result, the existence of transaction costs, in the dimensions of Williamson (1985), stands out due to the institutional weaknesses raised, such as a scrapped and disjointed transport network between its modes; overuse of the road modal; bureaucratization of the sector and lack of technical, legal and organizational order in the segment that makes production flow logistics a bottleneck to national competitiveness in the agricultural sector.  

Quanto à produção dos primeiros queijos no Brasil, não existe um consenso na literatura, porém, vários estudos afirmam que os portugueses foram os pioneiros na sua implementação. Existem várias leis regulamentadoras da produção no país, as quais passam por constantes mudanças ao longo do tempo, a fim de assegurar um produto de excelente qualidade. No que tange à produção de queijos artesanais, é importante destacar a lei do “Selo Arte”, que é a principal certificação que permite a comercialização de produtos artesanais feitos a partir de matéria prima de origem animal. Diante disso, objetivo do presente trabalho foi investigar se a produção de queijos artesanais vem atendendo as exigências estabelecidas pela legislação em vigor no Brasil. Para isso foi realizado um estudo de revisão sistemática da literatura. Para obtenção dos trabalhos foi feita uma pesquisa nas bases de dados da Scielo, Scopus, Web Of Science e Banco de Dados de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). Os trabalhos selecionados visaram responder a seguinte pergunta questão: Quais as dificuldades que as queijarias artesanais enfrentam para seguir as normas estabelecidas pela legislação brasileira? Os resultados dos estudos revelam que grande maioria dos pequenos produtores não se adequam a legislação referente a produção de queijos artesanais e apontam como principal motivo a situação financeira, tendo em vista os elevados custos para obtenção de ferramentas que possibilitem fazer uma produção 100% dentro das normas.

The aim of this study was to monitor the phenological development of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L., malvaceae), cultivar Santa Cruz 47, in pots with different sources of organic matter. The research was carried out at the State University of Alagoas Campus from January to December 2020 in the greenhouse. The experiment started with the germination test in seed and pots. After the seeds were germinated, the phenology monitoring was carried out. The experimental design was completely randomized, with 4 treatments (t1 - soil without manure, t2 - soil + carbonized rice husk, t3 - soil + goat manure and t4 - soil + cattle manure) and 5 replications, totaling 20 pots. After 20 days of sowing, the plants were thinned, leaving only one plant in each pot, the variables analyzed after thinning were: plant height (AP), stem diameter (DC), number of leaves (NF) and number of flower buds (NBF), in all repetitions. Phenological data were submitted to ANOVA (analysis of variance) for mean comparison. In data analysis, it was found that there was a significant difference between treatments, especially those with cattle and goat manure.

Tomato is considered one of the most demanding vegetables in soil nutrition, the amount of nutrients extracted is relatively small, because the efficiency of nutrient absorption by the plant is low, but it can contribute to a better efficiency in its phenology. The objective of this study was to know the efficiency of the effects of doses of the mix of organic fertilizer on Floral Biology in cultivars of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L., solanaceae) kept in a greenhouse. The research was conducted in a greenhouse belonging to the State University of Alagoas, Campus I, located in Arapiraca-AL. Cultivated during the period from August/2020 to July/2021. The experimental design was completely randomized (DIC) in a factorial scheme with four treatments with and 5 replications (T1 - control soil, T2 - soil with mixed mineral fertilizer dose, T3 - soil with saltpeter dose, T4 - soil with lime dose of shells).. The phenological varieties of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L., solanaceae) that were evaluated in the pre-harvest period were: height (cm), stem diameter (DC), lateral branches (RL), number of leaves (NFO), flower buds (BF), number of fruits (NFR), chlorophyll and soil moisture. Data records were collected weekly in a spreadsheet with the varieties evaluated since the thinning of the seedlings. Data were analyzed using the quadratic equation for the effects of doses of the organic-mineral fertilizer mix.

This study aimed to determine the diameter distribution of arboreal and regenerating individuals in an area of Caatinga in recovery process. The work was developed at the NUPEARIDO farm, Patos – PB, where adult individuals of the species Mimosa tenuiflora and Cnidoscolus quercifolius were planted in 2008 and in 2014, the secondary Handroanthus impetiginosus and Amburana cearensis. Diameter measurements were performed at breast level (DBH) and at ground level (DNS), for the trees and regenerants of both species, respectively. Mortality of secondary species and soil moisture content were also observed over the months of the year. The results showed that the arboreal individuals of both pioneer species are centered in the diameter class II (12-22 cm). As for regenerants, the largest number of individuals is found in diameter class I (0.2-12 mm) for Mimosa tenuiflora and class II (12 – 22 mm) for Cnidoscolus quercifolius. The high mortality of secondary species was found. The largest diameters were found in the first diametric classes, in which the climatic conditions may be related to the development of the species and the regeneration process in an area undergoing recovery requires time to adapt to local conditions.

The present study aims to describe the aspects related to the factors that influence the attempt and/or suicide among medical class. This is an integrative review realized at Pubmed, Virtual Health Library (Medline, LILACS e IBECS) and Scielo. The following descriptors were used in Health Sciences (DeCS), "Suicide", "physicians" and "doctors" and the Boolean operator (AND). As inclusion criteria, full papers published in Portuguese and English during the last six years (2015-2020) related to the subject of this study. From the crossing of the descriptors, 82 references were gathered, and 8 articles was selected as research samples. It was verified that several factors are associated to suicidal ideation and suicide like depression end development of psychological disorders.  It is hoped that this research can bring a warning to the entire medical community of the risks faced by these professionals and the importance of preserving the mental health.

The present research focused on the original processes and the present conditions of the sandy features called paleodunes along the São Francisco River in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco. Such features are significant records for the understanding of the climatic elements and factors that act over these areas, which are essential for understanding the genesis and evolution of these features through historical time. In this sense, the objective of this article was to analyze the discussions and the scientific records of researchers about this theme, from a systematic literature review, motivated to answer guiding questions (QNs). In order to answer the listed problematic, it was performed, from descriptors, the consultation in search sites, works that approached the theme in thesis, using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria of the findings, through a previously elaborated protocol, with a stipulated time frame. The publications found discuss the processes of origin, evolution, current conditions of these features and possible mitigating actions for the impacts, and point to the need for conservation of these paleoenvironments.
