As environmental changes increase, man is looking for ways to reduce this environmental impact through sustainable practices. There are several factors and justifications that demonstrate the importance of sustainable use in civil construction. Therefore, the objective of this study is to report on construction methods in Brazil, comparatively evaluating their advantages, disadvantages and the sustainability of their application.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the prevalence of low handgrip strength (HGS) among community-dwelling older adults in Latin America. Methods: PubMed, Lilacs, Embase, and Scielo were searched. Two researchers independently selected the studies, extracted data, and performed a risk of bias analysis. The prevalence of low HGS was estimated using a random-effects meta-analytic model. Subgroup analysis was also performed. Results: The summary measure (53 records) of the prevalence of low HGS was 33.0% (95%CI: 29.0-36.0%).
Introdução: O aumento expressivo das doenças infectocontagiosas levou a Odontologia a se preocupar ainda mais com Biossegurança. A desinfecção de materiais exige que certos aspectos sejam ponderados, como garantia de eficácia, conservação dos detalhes dos materiais, e não alteração da estabilidade dimensional, provocada por componentes químicos. Objetivo: Identificar na literatura científica os agentes desinfetantes e a concentração utilizada para desinfecção, além de pesquisar os efeitos desses agentes sobre as propriedades físico mecânicas do gesso tipo IV.

In the last few decades, the energy demand has vastly increased, and the generation of municipal solid wastes (MSW) in the cities represents extraordinary challenges for sustainable economic growth. Aiming to mitigate these problems, this work verifies an MSW fired power plant's technical and economic viability that uses biological filters for carbon dioxide fixation and microalgae biomass production.

This study takes off from the previous studies conducted in 1987 and 2005 by different Institutes, reporting the prevailing situation in the South Gujarat region, consisting of Vansada, Dharampur, and Kaprada. It finds that there has indeed been a sustaining change in the region – it has freed itself from many characteristics of a backward region like hunger, stress migration, illiteracy and such. The authors feel that most of the economic changes happened because of the development of some sources of irrigation that enabled the villagers to take two crops a year.
