Brain Death occurs when there is a total and irreversible stop of brain functions, which will result in the cessation of the functioning of other organic systems. This study aimed to know the characteristics of eligible donors of organs and tissues of a University Hospital in the city of Petrolina-PE. This is an exploratory, descriptive, documental study from January 2014 to July 2015. 115 medical records were analyzed, 60% men and 40% women, of which 56.5% were brown and 20.7% had not completed elementary school. As for the profession, 36.5% were farmers.

Complexity theory considers objects as systems. A system is understood as a set of elements linked together by a common objective. In this way, construction is a system composed of a numerous element that originate an emergent behavior that cannot be explained in these elements taken in isolation. Currently, there has not been studied and identified the application of complexity in construction industry. Therefore, in this paper, the attempt is to provide a systematic review of application of complexity theory in construction industry.

This article discusses the flow of minerals in open-pit mines, emphasizing the type of modal used to perform. Also, it discusses simulation techniques of productive systems based on applied science that aims at solving real problems, that is, operational research. It was believed that the modal through which the flow is made is a determining factor in the productivity of an open-pit mine and an attempt was made to find a modal (or a combination of modes) whose use would represent an optimal solution to the problem of ore flow.

Health inspectors play a pivotal role in safeguarding public health worldwide, ensuring food, water, and general hygiene standards are upheld.

The term “botanical blindness” refers to people’s inability to perceive plants in the environment, which may be related to the existence of students who show little interest in the subjects of Botany in Basic Education. Thus, this research aims to understand the conceptions of Basic Education teachers about teaching Botany, as well as to createpractical class guide in order to reduce “botanical blindness” in Elementary and High Schools.

This article presents a study on the challenges in teaching mathematics in early childhood education. The study was based on the qualitative, descriptive with non-experimental design. Childhood is a singular stage of human development, where the child develops positive attitudes when he comes into contact with mathematics, even if he maintains contact only with previous knowledge in the family environment and social life. Matematization plays a central role in the development of proficiency, matematization processes must permeate all learning and teaching activities.

A formação de professores de música para a educação básica apresenta-se como um dos grandes desafios aos que acreditam que a expressão sonora e artístico-musical é uma qualidade fundamentalmente humana, a ser desenvolvida em todos os seres humanos, mas só se realiza se houver estímulos e oportunidades adequadas.

The Brazilian economy has a significant influence on some South American countries, which in general have a lower level of industrialization and depend on trade with Brazil to supply their markets with the most varied types of products. Highlights include mass consumption products, such as food and beverages. The companies producing these items have a large potential market in South America, and especially in MERCOSUR countries.
