Enterococcus faecium is one of the major causative agents of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. This bacterium exhibits a remarkable capacity of acquiring new determinants of resistance, including to the last resort antimicrobials. The present study reports the in vitro antibacterial effect of Copaifera martii Hayne oleoresin against vancomycin-resistant E. faecium strains and E. faecium ATCC6965, a vancomycin-susceptible strain. Oleoresin inhibited the growth of planktonic cells, displaying a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.060 mg/mL for most strains.

Aluminum nanocomposites demonstrate improvements in mechanical properties, as well as in thermal and electric conductivity. The incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in the aluminum matrix, using conventional melting methods, is a long-standing issue. In this paper, Aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated via conventional casting method, using a nanostructured stainless-steel (SS) powder. Carbon nanotubes were treatedwith hydrogen peroxide, which led toan attachment tothe metal matrix particles.

The biofuel is a fuel alternative that burns cleans, produced from resources recuperative home. The biodiesel does not contain petroleum, but can be by adding it forming a composite, can be used well into on the pump as aignation the compression diesel without need to modification. This chore it had as a objective synthesis the biodiesel derived from the rice bran oil and access the thermal and oxidativestability from the oil and from the biodiesel derived from the rice bran, using the Thermogravimetry (TG) and the one Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC).

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os índices de óbito entre as comunidades indígenas do município de Porto Velho, capital do estado de Rondônia. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um estudo observacional, baseado nos dados disponibilizados no Portal da Transparência da Prefeitura Municipal de Porto Velho, website de consulta pública, contendo os dados relacionados à pandemia de covid-19 no desse município.

In 2021, according to Portal Solar, distributed generation reached the sum of 6.9 GW of operational capacity, with a growth projection of around 31.25%. According to Absolar (Brazilian Association Photovoltaic Solar Energy), point out that even with the pandemic, solar energy generation in Brazil reached a capacity of 7GW, with more than 4GW of distributed generation. This growth is due to consumers' search for projects and actions that can reduce electricity costs.

The goals of this study were to assess the incidence of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) paresthesia after impacted lower third molars extraction and to observe the distance between them and the mandibular canal (MC) cortical using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). For this study, 29 patients with both impacted lower third molars (totaling 58 teeth) were selected. They initially underwent clinical examination and evaluation of preoperative sensory condition according to standard protocol for nerve injury.

This work aims to analyze the agroecological transition processes in Western Paraná based on ecological experiences in the region. Various participatory methodological tools and procedures were used to gather information about the experiences and the context in which they are inserted.
