    Em função de cenários econômicos e sociais, com conseqüências das mais diversas matizes, muitos pensadores tem se dedicado a procurar explicações científicas e empíricas que possam apresentar propostas que amenizem o caos moral e ambiental que se abateram sobre a vida moderna. Instituições especializadas nos estudos na área de gestão/ administração tem sido um dos principais lócus de entendimento das práticas sustentáveis e socialmente responsáveis e como elas podem ser viabilizadas nos mais diversos espaços sociais, mas de forma mais incisiva nas Organizações privadas. Pensando em discutir brevemente sobre estes novos pressupostos e suas aplicações este artigo tem então a função de problematizar a seguinte questão: Porque é necessário estruturar os pressupostos da sustentabilidade e da Responsabilidade Social Empresarial para as realidades do Ensino/Aprendizagem nos cursos de administração de forma que estes atendam às demandas teóricas, empíricas e mercadológicas? Para tanto, apresentou-se os conceitos e definições da sustentabilidade e da Responsabilidade Social Empresarial relativos às realidades científicas e mercadológicas adequados ao Ensino/Aprendizagem nos Curso de Administração. Como estratégia metodológica este artigo contou com a revisão bibliográfica, a fim de apresentar de que maneira estes pressupostos tem sido constituídos. Acredita-se que só se faz possível entender a lógica da Responsabilidade social Empresarial e da Sustentabilidade e a demanda Social, Educacional e Mercadológica quando estes se fazem bem definidos e estruturados do ponto de vista conceitual e quando entende-se o seu contexto de aplicação. Palavras-chave: sustentabilidade; responsabilidade social; ensino da administração. ABSTRACT Due to social and economic scenarios, with consequences in many different hues, many thinkers have been devoted to seek scientific explanations and empirical research that may present proposals to mitigate the environmental and moral chaos that hit on modern life. Institutions specializing in studies in management / administration has been a major locus of understanding of sustainable practices and socially responsible and how they can be made viable in various social spaces, but more forcefully in private organizations. Thinking briefly discuss about these new assumptions and their applications, this article then discuss the function of the following question: Why is it necessary to structure the conditions of sustainability and corporate social responsibility for the realities of Teaching / Learning courses in administration so that meet these demands theoretical, empirical and market? For this purpose, presented the concepts and definitions of sustainability and corporate social responsibility related to their scientific and marketing appropriate to the Teaching / Learning in the Course Directors. As a methodological strategy articles relied on the literature review, to present how these assumptions have been made. It is believed that only makes it possible to understand the logic of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability and demand Social, Educational and marketing when they are well defined and structured the conceptual point of view and when means your application context. Keywords: sustainability, social responsibility, education administration

    Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    The school violence engendering is partially analyzed, considering the violence production in the school environment. This is a bibliographic research with quantitative and qualitative approach. Sources: 77 theses and 15 dissertations carried out in Brazil (2007 to 2012). Data collection and organization: Content Analysis. Main reference: Bernard Charlot and Pierre Bourdieu. Results: the sources showed that Brazilian teachers participate effectively in the school violence engendering, contributing to violence production in the school environment. The students are the main victims. The teacher is less affected by physical and verbal violence. The symbolic power is the most perpetrated by the teacher against the student. The school also plays a major role in it.Analisa-se o engendramento de uma face da violência da escola, tendo em vista a produção da violência em espaço escolar. Pesquisa bibliográfica quanti-qualitativa. Fontes: 77 dissertações e 15 teses produzidas no Brasil (2007 a 2012). Coleta e organização dos dados: Análise de Conteúdo. Fundamentação base: Bernard Charlot e Pierre Bourdieu. Resultados: as fontes apontaram que professores brasileiros são protagonistas na constituição da violência da escola, contribuindo para a produção da violência em espaço escolar. Os alunos são as principais vítimas dessa violência. O professor sofre menos violência física e verbal do que o aluno. A violência simbólica é a mais usada pelo professor contra o aluno.

    As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

    International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
