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.

The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effect of capsaicin (CAP) supplementation on performance and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during a CrossFit session. Ten well-trained CrossFit males completed CAP supplementation and placebo (PLA) treatment, in a randomized, double-blind, crossover experimental design. After the ingestion (45 min) of either the PLA (12 mg of starch) or 12 mg of CAP, subjects performed a CrossFit session including deadlift, hang power clean, and cleanand jerk exercises for a total of 17 min.

The Agroecology can help peasant women, as well as peasants as a whole, to build greater levels of autonomy based on knowledge, allowing these relationships of dependence to be reduced, and opening space for women to conquer their power. In this context, this article aims to address the reflection on the connection between agroecology and the work carried out by women in family farming and its contribution to enhancing the experiences of agroecological transition, analyzing the importance of productive and reproductive work and the challenges faced by women.

The low rate of domestic sewage registered in cities in Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa is the result of a centralized view, which does not allow access for all (decentralized), and which only uses conventional Sewage Treatment Plants to treat sewage without evaluating the potential for reuse and use of the by-products generated (sludge and gasses), adding value to them.

Passion fruit belongs to the genus Passiflora, family Passifloraceae, with more than 500 species. The seeds represent an important source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, they are routinely discarded and discarded soon after processing to obtain the pulp leading to environmental issues. The oil is extracted from the passion fruit seed and contains valuable bioactive. Due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions of these compounds, the oil could have a role to prevent the development of numerous health conditions.
