Sustainable development or continuous development is the wise management of available resources in a way that ensures economic, social and cultural prosperity and the realization of the development and environmental needs of present and future generations. Sustainable development depends on two fundamental things: the right to development and the right to environmental protection; knowledge societies are one of the most recently developed societies as one of the main requirements of this stage, the stage of development.

The objective of this work was to show data on how there is an association of climatic factors and air pollution influence hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases in individuals in the city of Manaus. An ecological study of indicators, hospitalization and deaths was conducted during a few months from 2013 to 2015. It was observed that precipitation has a strong influence on the number of hospitalizations. The data presented are expected to be used to assess the impact of meteorological variables and air pollutants on the city's human health.

Aim: was to relate orofacial pain and TMD with a high negative impact on quality of life indices, to observe and report the possible reduction of the impact in these same indexes with the initial treatment. A longitudinal and quantitative study was developed in a sample of 48 patients previously screened for Orofacial Pain and/or TMD who were starting treatment at the Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of TMJ (CDATM) at Tuiuti University of Paraná. They were evaluated in relation to the negative impact on quality of life using the OHIP-14 questionnaire.

The aim of this study was to determinehemolysis influence on the analytical performances of the automaton BS300 (Mindray®) on the dosage of biochemical parameters. The hemolysis additions methodwas run to create an increasing hemoglobin range of concentration varying from 0 to 12g/dl. To determine an influence of the hemolysis on the measure, the variation limit of 10 % waschosen. The studied parameters were creatinine, albumin, total protein, calcium and total cholesterol. Total cholesterol and total proteinwere the positively impacted parameters leading to an overestimate of the result.

The street fairs of northeastern Brazil focus on the distribution of basic products, becoming important spaces for social integration, with family farming as the basis for the production of street fairs in municipalities smaller than 20 thousand inhabitants.

The present study was conducted at the Kongou Gorou Zarmagandey pool. The aim of this study is to characterize the waters of this pool through in situ and laboratory measurements of certain physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters. The water samples were taken and analyzed according to the standardized methods of some physico-chemical parameters and bacteriological. These parameters are turbidity, pH, conductivity, temperature, iron, organic matter, color, copper, TDS, hardness, calcium, HCO3, magnesium, total residues, TAC, E.

Marsilea minuta is a very common leaf vegetable to the people in west Bengal. The common name in Bengali of this pteridophytic plant is “Sushni sak”. It grows in tropical humid climate in all classes of soil round the year except the winter months. It has good medicinal potentiality as well as nutrient components. Though it grows in marshy fallow land in neglected conditions, but it could gain valuable leafy vegetable considering its nutrition quality as well as palatability. But indeed it is not freshly available in the market round the year.

Solar radiation is a very important meteorological component of the hydrological, energetic, architectonic and agro environmental processes. However, the instruments that are responsible for their measurement have a high cost of acquest and maintenance. Therefore, empirical models have been developed for estimating the solar radiation and then, reducing costs.

Food insecurity is becoming an issue both nationally and internationally due to rapid population growth. One way to deal with this problem is to improve soil fertility using organic fertilizers in order to increase soil productivity in a sustainable way, thus rise crop yield and feed the growing population. Compost is one of the proposed suitable organic fertilizers increasing soil nutrients in a regular basis.

HD-ZIP proteins are a class of transcription factors family that have a conserved homeodomain in all of its factors. Homeo box; conserved part of home domain consists of 56 amino acids residues and involved in plant development from formation pattern to specification into different cell types. We retrieved the protein sequence of all the 48 transcription factors of HD-ZIP family and performed genome wide analysis and grouped them into four subfamilies.
