The analysis of stomach contents is one of the few methods that provide information on food ecology and the trophic spectrum of fishes in their natural habitat. The aim of the present study was to investigate the food spectrum of Notarius grandicassis caught by the fishing fleet operating in estuaries in the state of Maranhão (Eastern Amazon). Biological material was obtained from artisanal fisheries in the study area. Sampling was conducted between April 2012 and August 2013 using driftnets with stretch mesh sizes from 40 to 120 mm.

Objetivo: identificar os fatores associados à reação hansênica dos casos notificados de hanseníase.

Dados coletados por meio de entrevista e prontuário dos menores. Resultados: 21,1% dos casos apresentaram reação hansênica, sendo a neurite isolada a mais frequente.

A doença renal é considerada um grande problema de saúde pública, porque causa elevadas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade e, além disso, tem impacto negativo sobre a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde. Sendo assim, o estudo tem como Objetivo Geral analisar a conduta do enfermeiro frente a um caso de urgência e emergência hemodialítica e como Objetivos Específicos relacionar as principais dificuldades de adesão ao tratamento, identificar os sinais e sintomas de urgência hemodialítica e especificar os cuidados do enfermeiro ao paciente em urgência hemodiálitica.

This paper aims to present material for Science / Chemistry teaching through the characterization of rice husk ash. The rice husk ash has a significant amount of silica and potassium in its composition and in this perspective, the importance of working with these residual materials is highlighted, given its facilityfor obtaining and adapting to the didactic content of project-related subjects by aggregating technology and environmental issues.

In this study, a biodegradable alloy Zn-42Mg-4Ca alloy fabricated by powder metallurgy was evaluated. The idea was to create an alloy that could optimize the good behaviors of some recognized biocompatible elements as zinc, magnesium, and calcium. The alloy's corrosion resistancewas investigated, evaluating its biodegradation behavior in a simulated physiological environment and the potential-dynamic polarization curve.

This work aims to optimize the treatment of industrial effluents from the Jeans laundry treatment station using microorganism consortia. For the formation of the consortium, 1 strain of fungus and one of bacteria was used.

Os comportamentos alimentares anormais e as práticas inadequadas de controle de peso estão associadas à angústia pessoal e à baixa autoestima, sendo comumente expressados pela insatisfação com o peso corporal. Não existe um fator único que determine o surgimento de um transtorno alimentar, podendo-se afirmar que as causas podem ser de ordem genética, familiar, cultural e/ou psicológicas (aspectos da personalidade). Sobre a análise dos instrumentos, vale questionar, será que só os questionários são suficientes para compreender a imagem corporal?

The cashew nut sector has contributed to the mitigation of local climate change by achieving in 2018 a carbon footprint of - 349,711 tCO2eq. However, shell burning in landfills has degraded the carbon footprint of that sector, reaching an additional + 34,844 tCO2eq of greenhouse gas emissions. This therefore justifies the study of sustainable thermochemical recovery of these agro-industrial wastes and the evaluation of the environmental potentialities.
