The objective of this work was to test the phytoremediative capacity of an aquatic macrophyte for the removal of lead. The macrophytes were submitted to exposure of the metal at concentrations of 3, 6 and 9 mg.L-1 for 10 days, and then chemical analyses were performed. The plant presented a bioaccumulation capacity, accumulating, in its root, a considerable concentration of lead, greater than in the aerial parts. In addition, no part of the plant has died during the experiment, demonstrating resistance to lead and capacity of accumulation.

El texto trata sobre la producción científica, en el campo de la educación en Brasil, de las obras stricto sensu sobre el tema de Cuotas en la Educación en el período 2013-2018, disponible en el banco de tesis y disertaciones de CAPES. Buscamos conocer las discusiones de los investigadores y los resultados de sus investigaciones, así como también qué otras preguntas se plantearon sobre la educación pública brasileña. La metodología utilizada incluyó investigación bibliográfica (GIL, 2002), bibliométrica (TAKAHASHI, 2013) y análisis de contenido (BARDIN, 2011). Había caminos comunes para la discusión de la investigación de la política de cuotas. Finalmente, se señaló los límites de cuotas como medidas de justicia social, cuando se aplican de forma aislada.

As dificuldades de aprendizagem são um tema relevante no ensino formal, motivando a realização de pesquisas para a identificação e intervenção do insucesso escolar, levando em consideração as fragilidades da educação e o reflexo da aprendizagem.

Nos resultados houve desempenho significante para GI e GII, em comparação intragrupo para a pré e pós-testagem, indicando que a intervenção fonológica associada ao treino de leitura foi benéfica aos escolares com e sem dificuldades de aprendizagem, que obtiveram médias de desempenho superior em pós-testagem. Conclui-se que a intervenção fonológica associada ao treino de leitura foi capaz de impulsionar o desempenho em habilidades necessárias para a alfabetização em escolares com e sem dificuldades de aprendizagem.

This paper aims to analyze the curricular changes in the Social Work Course at the Fluminense Federal University in Campos dos Goytacazes (Brazil). The study starts with a reading of the historical process of creation of the course and its relevance in the 1970s, as seen in one of the main local newspapers of the period, as well as the Social Work turning-point process manifested in a debate about the course curriculum and its social direction. As a result of this study, the text presents the reconstruction of the theoretical-cultural memory of the Social Work Course in Campos and the dialogue with the theoretical matrices.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi isolar e detectar o efeito antimicrobiano in vitro de bactérias ácido láticas (BAL) autóctones isoladas de leite cru, proveniente de Bom Jesus do Itabapoana/RJ-Brasil, contra Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12600 e Escherichia coli ATTC 25922. As amostras de leite cru foram submetidas a contagem e isolamento, através da técnica de profundidade, em ágar MRS e M17. Os isolados de BAL foram confirmados após a realização da prova da catalase e coloração de Gram. A etapa de atividade antimicrobiana consistiu no teste de sobrecamada a partir do plaqueamento de superfície em ágar MRS e M17 e, por cima, o meio TSA com o patógeno inoculado. Foram analisadas 10 amostras, nas quais 55% dos resultados da contagem prevaleceram no 4 log UFC/mL. Das 95 cepas isoladas, 74 apresentaram características de BAL, e destes, 37 foram avaliados quanto à sua atividade antagônica sobre S. aureus e E. coli. Aproximadamente 76% dos isolados utilizados para teste de atividade antimicrobiana contra S. aureus e E.coli apresentaram ação inibitória contra pelo menos um dos patógenos testados. Ao que se tem conhecimento, esse é o primeiro estudo envolvendo cepas de BAL autóctones oriundas de leite da região Noroeste Fluminense.

This study aimed to quantify the amount of free residual chlorine present in the samples and to evaluate which doses comply with the Consolidation Ordinance. To carry out the study, we used cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, recurrent in flowering in Brazilian springs. Chlorine gas was the oxidation selected due to its low-cost and easy handling. Analyses were performed at 1,0 x 104 and 1,0 x 106 cells.mL-1 and at 30 min and 24 h contact times. The results showed high chlorine consumption and, consequently, low concentration of free residual chlorine.

Considering the Aramanaí Protected Areas (PA) boundary reduction scenario in Belterra (PA), Brazil, the objective of this paper is to characterize the land use and cover in the PA in 2004, 2014 and 2018, contextualizing its importance as a priority area for biodiversity conservation in the Amazon. A database containing TerraClass Project land use and land cover classes was used to calculate areas, and tabulate the changes that occurred in the period prior to the approval of municipal law no. 237/2017. For further analysis, supervised classification of the image of the Sentinel-2 satellite was performed with enhancement, segmentation and mapping of classes procedures. The results showed forest cover as the main class with more than 60% of the area, and the expansion of built-up areas in the period before the creation of the amending law. It was found that, of the total area excluded, 21.5 km² are plant cover, and that during this period there was acceleration of anthropization at various points. Thus, it is demonstrated that changes occurred in the Aramanaí PA and the importance of systematizing information to support discussions that may contribute to the environmental management in the region.

This study was conducted under the Research Teaching methodology, based on the assumptions of the Theory of Meaningful Learning. Our objective was to investigate the effectiveness of using a simple experiment to aid the teaching-learning of concepts and magnitudes in Newtonian mechanics. The experimental practice allowed not only the observation of the phenomenon, but also the acquisition of data with the aid of the Lexis Audio Editor mobile application. The interdisciplinarity between Physics and Mathematics was present when designing an apparatus in which these familiar geometric shapes were used: line, parabola and cycloid. The product was applied to a class in the 1st year of a public High School in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It was observed that the activity enabled conceptual change, allowing students to reconstruct and expand their learning. They also developed experimental skills considered to be quite relevant to basic training in formal education.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of five cauliflower cultivars under conventional and alternative phytosanitary management system - without the use of synthetic pesticides. Two experiments were carried out at Epagri, Ituporanga Experimental Station in February  2018  and  2019.  In each management a randomized block design with four replications was adopted, with plots of twenty plants of each cultivar, useful plot consisting of six central plants. The seedlings were planted over millet and velvet bean straw in a spacing of 0.5 m x 0.8 m. Aspects related to agronomic yield, quality of inflorescences, damage caused by pests and plant diseases, especially bacterial and fungal rot, were evaluated. The cauliflower hybrids Vera, Verona and Serena stood out in yield and quality, being the most suitable for sowing in summer / autumn off-season crops in the region of Alto Vale do Itajaí, SC, Brazil. The most productive cultivars were less damaged by bacterial diseases and defoliator caterpillars and without whitefly infestation interference in the yield. The results also reveal that it is possible to control pests and diseases using phytosanitary products with lower content of synthetic pesticide residues.

The Alternaria leaf blight of carrot (Alternaria dauci (Kühn) Groves & Skolko) is the main disease and has compromised crop productivity. As the epidemiology of the disease in Brazil is unknown, the objective of this work was to characterize the temporal and spatial progression of this disease in the cultivation conditions in the southern region of Brazil. Carrot seeds of Brasília cultivar were sown in four blocks of 270 plants each. The initial incidence of the disease in the planting line was used for the spatial analysis through the run and doublet tests and its results analyzed by the value (± 1.64) standardized in the Z test at 5% probability. The severity of the disease was analyzed in 120 plants through a diagrammatic scale in 120 previously demarcated random plants and the severity data were adjusted to a nonlinear model throughout the cycle of culture. It was found that the spatial pattern of the disease was over 99% at random for both tests. The disease progress curve was fitted to the Gompertz model, represented by y=0.253356*(exp(29.59929*exp(- 0.69466*x))). This study will serve as a model for work related to the disease.

The general objective of this study is to evaluate the application of a support system in the management of chest pain cases in remote areas. This is a cross-sectional study, which evaluated 22,000 medical consultations, carried out from January 2015 to January 2019, with a population of employees from several companies in the oil and gas sector, served by a multinational central in a capital in Brazil. In the period from January 2015 to January 2019, 22,643 consultations were carried out in deep waters (offshore), of which 907 generated a non-urgent disembarkation or referral to the hospital due to medical recommendation and 97 aeromedical evacuations (Medevac - removal or medical disembarkation of emergency by air ambulance). Of these 97 Medevacs, 26 were due to cardiac complaints. Through the results obtained, we show that with the cardiac diagnostic kit and health professional, the indication of these disembarks were all correct and necessary, as confirmed in the in-hospital assistance.

Chagas disease is still an important public health problem, being considered a neglected tropical disease. From the creation of the School Health Program (PSE), it became necessary to address diseases that affect the Brazilian population in the classroom in order to aggregate knowledge and raise students' awareness. However, the use of Chagas' disease and other neglected diseases still has little representation in the classrooms, making it important to insert new pedagogical strategies to address these issues. The present work had as a proportional objective, for Integrated High School students, a playful tool - the game DIV & AP - Chagas disease - for teaching Chagas disease and its vectors in Brazil. As a result, it is possible to apply a game with the students' improved knowledge in a fun and entertaining way, functioning as a good complement to the teaching activity.

The water shortage that affected several cities between 2014 and 2015 in the Southeast Region evidenced the fragility of the Brazilian model of water resources management, with the Macaé River Basin (Rio de Janeiro) being an example of this scenario. Despite its regional importance, forecasts point to the commitment of water supply  impacting  human  life and economic activities, including oil exploration in Campos Basin in the coming years. Given this scenario, it is expected that Environmental Education in licensing can promote reflections on water management, systematizing information and creating channels of communication between government and the people. This study also discusses the role of the university and the generation of subsidies for discussions on water resources.

According to the National Civil Protection and  Defense  Policy,  disaster  management in Brazil has its actions coordinated by civil defense agencies. However, the complexity involved in disaster processes makes the constant intervention of other public policies and  their  agents’  a  reality.  In  this  context, the role of social assistance stands out. Responsible for most of the assistance to those affected by disasters, the performance of the agents requires an effective interaction with civil defense agencies, which is a challenge in itself. fterefore, the discussion around intersectoriality is urgent and necessary. fte study starts with a review of  the  literature on  the   different   understandings   about this concept, followed by text analysis of documents by the National Social Assistance Policy and the National Civil Protection and Defense Policy, aiming at identifying how intersectoriality is present in each of them. As a result, the existing intersectoriality generates auxiliary interdisciplinarity  and  elements that favor its construction in a collective and participatory way.
