Aseptic carton boxes are domestic waste normally found in milk juice boxes. These materials are composed of paper layers, aluminum, and polyethylene that grant to the material, among other characteristics, good resistance and durability. However, this composition also makes harder the recycling process of these packages due to the labor of separating the materials that integrate these boxes. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the resistance to weather in bike baskets made from aseptic carton boxes.

Background: The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is a vessel of the Circle of Willis. Variations are observed in the first segments of the PCA and its branches, especially in the thalamoperforating arteries (TPAs) and in the artery of Percheron (AP). Anatomical presentation of these arteries is of relevant clinical importance for safer neurosurgical approaches. Objective: To identify the most frequent PCA and TPA patterns and the morphometry of P1 and P2 branches in human brains from the Northeastern region of Brazil. Methods: Specimens of human cadavers from Northeast Brazil were isolated.
In the 19th century, Gratiolet created the term plis de passage, which was mapped by the neurosurgeon Jean Regis to describe gyri that were interconnected and anatomically covered by main sulci. Besides, Cunningham characterized the plis de passage, which binds the precentral gyrus, associated to the hand´s primary motor area, and the postcentral gyrus, associated to the hand´s somatosensory area, having become a subject of interest with the advent of imaging tests.
Innovation in companies is directly related to investment in Research and Development and to the formalization of their Intellectual Property. At the same time, it also tends to be related to organizational performance and value in the market. In view of this, this work consists of a systematic review of the international literature regarding the relationship between intellectual property (patents, brands, software, among others), an important indicator of innovation, and its effects on organizational performance. Scopus and Web of Science databases were consulted.
A paracoccidioidomicose (PCM) configura-se uma importante micose sistêmica, de grande representatividade no Brasil. Embora seja um país endêmico para a doença, observa-se ainda grande dificuldade para diagnóstico precoce, tratamento oportuno e acompanhamento adequado dos indivíduos acometidos. O atraso no diagnóstico da doença além de permitir o agravamento da mesma, pode ainda levar a tratamentos equivocados, gerando prejuízos aos indivíduos acometidos, e aos serviços de saúde.
Une prospection médicale récente sur la trypanosomose humaine africaine (THA) dans des sites d'orpaillage au Sud-Ouest du Burkina Faso, a mis en évidence la présence de mouches tsé-tsé infectées et des populations venant de la Côte d'Ivoire et de la Guinée, les deux pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest les plus affectés par cette maladie. Cet état de fait, montre un risque de réémergence de cette maladie.
